I was in a traumatic accident that affected many parts of my body, mainly my spine. Since going to acupuncture with Gabe, my aches, pains, and unevenness in my body has improved drastically. Gabe has a very peaceful approach to his practice and makes you feel very comfortable. I asked a lot of questions about what he was doing and he explained everything very thoroughly and gave me insight into how certain things would help the muscles in my back. It was such a pleasure working with him and I am so grateful for his help in my healing/recovery journey.

Gabe at Monona Bay Health is an incredible acupuncturist. I have been a patient for many years, he has treated my sinusitis very successfully. I used to get sinus infections every spring and fall but after being treated with acupuncture they have essentially been eliminated. I would highly recommend him!

Gabe is awesome! He is very professional but also casual & welcoming! He is a great acupuncturist. He explains everything he does while he’s doing it & why/how it is going to help me. He works around my busy work schedule & always has time to fit me in if needed! Pricing is fair as well. I highly recommend going to Monona Bay Health!

After calling New York City home for over a decade, he has returned to his hometown of Madison, WI with his family to open Monona Bay Health.

It is in these spaces where healing takes place at the level of the spirit, mind and body.  All of which are treated with the holistic practice that is Chinese Medicine.
