Jake Paul Fratkin, OMD

Specialties

My name is Jake Paul Fratkin and I am a Doctor of Oriental Medicine. I have been in practice for 33 years, and specialize in Japanese meridian balance acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. I also follow evidence-​based Functional Medicine, with its emphasis on physiology, biochemistry, laboratory testing and the use of nutritional medicine. In all respects, I am a practitioner of natural and alternative medicine. I specialize in internal disorders, infections and pediatrics. Because natural medicine promotes healing rather than control or suppression of symptoms, my success rate in general is 85% or higher. The internal disorders that I treat include respiratory and gastrointestinal ailments, skin problems, allergies, fatigue and low immune function. I also treat cancer patients for the side effects of medical therapy, and to enhance immune function and vitality.
