Testimonials

“Dr. Sam helped my family navigate the world of alternative and complementary cancer therapies during a very difficult time.  He helped us focus in on what was actually backed up through research vs. the thousands of suggested approaches on the internet.  I believe he runs his practice with integrity and became a doctor for the all the right reasons.”

I can honestly say that Dr. Sam is the most thorough, attentive, and caring doctor I have ever seen.  When I went to him for a consult, he spent over two hours with me discussing my history and health concerns.  Unlike many traditional medical doctors I’ve seen, he is an excellent listener and extremely knowledgeable.  In that one consult, he was able to accurately diagnose a condition that two previous doctors had misdiagnosed.  I was very sorry when he moved his practice to Arizona.  It was a great loss for our community.  I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Sam
Is a caring, loving, compassionate, knowledgeable Dr. He has helped me during a very stressful physically and emotional time. He has been there for me during time of wellness support, nutrition and maintenance too. I have moved back to Hawaii. I wish he was here to care for me and my family once again…. aloha

I saw Dr. Sam in 2011, he was knowledgable and not only resolved a health issue I was dealing with, but also offered invaluable tips for dealing with stress and improving my overall wellness.

• Jessica Stambaugh

Dr. Sam has been a phenomenal healthcare provider to me for many years.  I appreciate his sincere care and reliable knowledge that has helped me heal from Lyme Disease, and skin disorders, among other things.  He has also taught me about nutrition and how to properly cleanse through a detox diet.  I am truly grateful to have met him and recommend him to anyone looking for excellent healthcare.

Dr. Sam is one of of a kind when it comes to practicing medicine. This is the first time I have ever written a testimonial on here and it is with good reason–  he is one of the most knowledgeable, skilled, and sincerely caring doctors I have ever encountered. I have been very healthy and active for my entire life, but when I first came to see him back in the winter of 2011, I had been suffering for several months with a host of chronic health issues (crushing fatigue, muscle aches, shortness of breath–  a “flu-like” feeling that wouldn’t go away) that baffled traditional doctors and specialists. By the time I found him, I was desperate and feeling hopeless that I would ever recover. Within just a few days of seeing Dr. Sam and beginning the protocol he advised, I began to feel my symptoms lift! I was really astonished and extremely grateful– he is truly gifted and understands how to treat you as a “whole” person. I live in NY (where he used to live and practice) and I was very sorry to see him leave for Arizona–  he would even be worth the cost of a plane ticket to Phoenix!

I received treatments from Sam Shikowitz from 2007 until 2012 when he was practicing in the NY Mid-Hudson Valley. Sam is a wonderful healer and a lovely person. He listens well. He recognized that I am the one living in my skin and he valued feedback about what I experienced as he worked on and with me. Sam has many tools in his healing kit which made him my primary health care provider for all those years. I was sad for me but happy for him when he moved to Arizona. I still haven’t found a new acupuncture provider. If you are fortunate enough to live where you can get health care from this man, I’m a little jealous.

• Emily B.

Dr. Sam is amazing. His compassion and caring manner makes it very easy to talk to him, and he treats without judgment. In addition to traditional therapies, he is a wealth of knowledge in holistic and naturopathic medicine. He always took way more time than was alloted on our visits, and he often provided me with natural products that helped me without the side effects of some traditional medicines. He truly cares about his patients, and I look forward to seeing him again in the Phoenix area.
