"I can’t thank Dr. Arken enough for the great care that he provides each time I see him. He is very compassionate and knowledgeable of his practice. He goes above and beyond for his patients. Very easy to talk to and he spends a lot of time getting to know his patients and most specially giving treatments. He doesn’t do short cuts. You can learn a lot about natural/herbal healing. He is definitely a blessing and I’m lucky to have met him.
