A DIFFERENT KIND OF DOCTOR

Care Rooted in Empathy & Experience

Do you ever wonder why some Doctors are so incredibly compassionate while others have a bedside manner better suited for the DMV?

In the case of Dr. Aleksandra Mihajlovic, DTCM, LAc of Sasha Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine it is a case of true empathy. “As a new mother I had children that suffered from eczema and recurrent ear infections. Seeing them in pain and discomfort and not being able to participate in their favorite sport—swimming, set me on a path to look for a better solutions for their health issues.”

Dr. Aleksandra’s options were limited to two things. Prescription medications that often did not work and to make lifestyle changes to limit the triggers that were often the cause. “It was no way to live,” she shares “they were young and should’ve been living a bright, vibrant life. Instead I was monitoring their food intake, testing them for sensitivities, avoiding long exposure to chlorinated pools and doing my best to prepare for changing weather conditions. Every, Spring and Fall eczema would flare up. It wasn’t until she took them to an acupuncturist that she found real relief for them. “

This is why I often refer to my practice as “The Last Resort With The Best Results.” You’ve been everywhere else and been given the same disheartening prognosis, prescribed the same medications and told, “this is just something you’re going to have to learn to live with.”

Soon after her family’s incredible experience with the healing arts she made the life changing decision to abandon her research and sales careers and pursue her doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. On that journey, she found solutions for some of her own health issues—life-long irregular periods and hip pain.

“Acupuncture quite literally changed my life and I want to share that with the world,” she proclaims.

Your Golden Years Should Be Golden

While in school she watched as her aunt began to suffer from Peripheral Neuropathy. “Your golden years should be golden, not plagued with insufferable pain while doctors and specialists tell you there is nothing they can do.” Understanding that Eastern Medicine excels where Western Medicine fails, Dr. Aleksandra set forth to develop treatment protocols for all variations of Peripheral Neuropathy (including diabetic and chemotherapyinduced) and now has a 90% success rate in treating this once difficult to manage condition.

“I was tired of seeing the older generation suffer unnecessarily,” shares Dr. Aleksandra. “Diagnosing them as just getting older and giving them a treatment plan of ‘you’re just going to have to get used to it’ has never sat well with me so I wanted to offer them a real option for treatment and care.”

Dr. Aleksandra has designed similar treatment protocols for other complicated, chronic conditions including fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, post-shingles pain, and even macular degeneration. While each patient plan is tailored specifically to the patient’s concern and goals, all of her treatments are based on a framework that’s over fourteen years in the making. In addition Dr. Aleksandra isn’t opposed to more modern medical solutions. “It’s in blending the time-tested science of acupuncture with recent innovations in medicine that get me the best results.” One of those advancements is ATP Resonance Bio Therapy™, originally developed by NASA, it aids nerves in regeneration by providing them the nutrients they need to repair and renew, “very similar to what water does for a plant!”

The Magic of Compassionate Care

And what do those in her care have to say? “Dr Aleksandra looked me in my eyes and wanted to know about me, not just my condition. I feel like a person, not just a patient,” shares Joan. “In fact I don’t think she’s ever used the word patient.” Others proclaim “she saved my life” , “her neuropathy treatments gave me my life back, and “it’s a miracle she treated my fibromyalgia, I don’t know how else to explain it.”

Dr. Aleksandra has a long personal history in complicated, difficult to understand conditions and understands how tragic it can all be if left untreated. “I have sat where my patients sit. I’ve experienced their pain and suffering on an intimate level. It’s why I practice the brand of medicine I do and why I’ve made it my life’s mission to treat the “untreatable.” It brings me such incredible joy when I get to say, “I can help you!”

Furthermore, Dr. Aleksandra has surrounded herself with staff that embraces this same approach to patient care. “You can ask any one of my patients and they will tell you that their favorite part about Sasha Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine is my staff.”

“I just love everyone here,” shares Christine, who has been a patient of Sasha Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine for almost six years. “The girls are always so kind, it’s like going to the doctor with my girlfriends.”

Dr. Aleksandra and her staff specialize in treating chronic pain, complicated neurological conditions and autoimmune diseases that leave other professionals scratching their heads. Sasha Acupuncture won the Gold Medal for Best Acupuncture in the 2022 Best of Essex Reader’s Choice Contest.
