For more than 2500 years, generations of patients and physicians have depended on acupuncture, moxibustion, tuina, and dietary therapy for preventative care, basic medical treatment, and advanced management of complex disorders. These rarely mastered arts are now available in Cleveland. Very few physicians have devoted the years of study necessary to understand the complex anatomy of the meridians or the subtle blending of foods and flavors to produce the Oriental medicines of the East.After more than 45 years of study and application, I have integrated these time-honored techniques with the best of modern medical knowledge.
Services
To schedule an appointment for an initial consultation, you must speak with Ms. Shurtz or Dr. Grotte by calling (440) 461-7488 from 1pm to 7pm, E.S.T. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. A package of forms and questionnaires, and an appointment card, will be sent out to you, along with a return envelope.
Please try to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early for your appointment. We are very careful to keep on schedule, so that it is unusual for you to be seen more than a few minutes past your scheduled time. Arriving early allows you to rest a few minutes and allow your pulses to calm for the visit. When a patient rushes to make an appointment, it disturbs the qi and pulse.
Women who are having problems with conception, premenstrual symptoms, or menopausal issues will often see positive results with Oriental medicine. It may be possible to reduce or eliminate the need for Western pharmaceuticals. If drugs or hormones must be used, side effects may be reduced. The treatment of gynecologic imbalances is a well established specialty in Oriental medicine.
Standards for practitioners of acupuncture and other Oriental techniques are constantly evolving. The treatment of complex disorders and pain syndromes often requires an ongoing relationship with a physician. Therefore, to make the best decision, you have to inform yourself as to the options available.

My husband and I have been under the care of Dr. Grotte for almost 30 years. He has helped me through serious health issues, including breathing issues which were undetected by a few medical facilities. His extensive experience has enabled him to to work with his patients to find out what is best for each individual because we are not all the same.
At this time, he is helping me with a personal health issue that is improving, and as long as i listen to him, i have every confidence i will succeed! And in these difficult times, Dr. Grotte has given me quality care that is priceless! Thank you, Amy, too, for all your help! Liz

My wife and I have been patients of Dr Grotte and Amy for 28 years! In the modern world where real healthcare many times takes a back seat to profit, my experience with Dr Grotte and Amy has been priceless and why I continue to see them. A doctor with unique skills and great bed side manner with Amy's professionalism and kindness in my mind is a perfect combination and I have been well cared for over the years! Thank you both. Rob

Dr. Grotte is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled physician. He thoroughly understands the human body and works with the patient to assess needs and provide relief. I have been a client for over a year and am very satisfied. He and Amy run a most efficient practice and are very much based on the patient. It is nice to have doctor who devotes time only to you, listens to your medical problems and then works with you to help you feel better!

I started seeing Dr. Grotte earlier this year for pain management and treatment for neuropathy on my lower leg. (My saphenous nerve was severely injured during an ACL surgery last year and later developed into a horrible problem called RSD. I was in tremendous nerve pain last year and could not walk without crutches. I tried all kinds of western medicine and Ketamine treatments, I got nothing but the side effects. ) Dr. Grotte's treatment methods are very different - he works on the root of my problem, makes effort to help me heal the nerves, improve the flow, rather than just temporarily stop the pain.
I feel relief after each acupuncture treatments and the herb medicine he prescribes is really safe and helpful too. I like the fact he treats the entire body as a whole system rather than just focus on my leg. I am already way better compared to beginning of this year, with the lost muscle growing back steadily and less frequent nerve pain without going through a risky and intrusive second knee surgery.
Although acupuncture treatments are not covered by my insurance and not inexpensive, I plan to keep seeing him until I'm 100% well. I highly recommend Dr. Grotte and his assistant Amy who is very sweet and also very knowledgeable! Yuan

I have found Dr. Grotte to be quite honest and I have greatly appreciated being treated as a person and not an illness. I had a severe allergic reaction to chemo and traditional medicine offered me no options other than follow up testing and appointments to monitor reoccurrence and surgical intervention. It was quite clear that if I was going to improve my odds of living, I had to look outside of the industry of traditional medicine.
I arrived for my first appointment quite ill and it is now 18 months later and with his guidance and my perseverance I have had great results and feel quite well with no signs of cancer. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Grotte's services.

Dr. Grotte has provided effective and compassionate help with several chronic and debilitating conditions over the past 28 years. He is very adept at helping patients manage chronic pain without the use of pharmaceuticals. His extensive knowledge of Chinese herbal medicines has allowed me to find effective treatment for a variety of medical issues, since I have many drug allergies and sensitivities to modern medications.
He has been willing to research different possible treatments from the viewpoint of both alternative and standard Western medicine. His office nurse, Amy Schurtz, is a tremendous asset to the practice.

Over the years Dr. Grotte has provided knowledgeable and expert treatment for various health issues for me. He is always increasing his professional expertise and researching advances in medicine. He was not only able to treat me for issues acupuncture is known for but also support me post surgery and even after a car accident and concussion. Usually I have relief within minutes of a treatment.
He is very professional, trustworthy and has high integrity. Dr. Grotte and his wife provide an environment that is soothing and health promoting. This is more than an alternative, this is how health care should look like.

I must say I was a bit disappointed by Dr. Grotte. After reading his web site I expected a different type of doctor visit experience. I filled in the detailed questionnaire prior to my visit and I arrived on time. The initial consultation was to discuss my medical history. Dr. Grotte seemed rushed and was impatient when I took too long to think about answers to his questions.
He also struck me as a little arrogant and rude in his response to some of my questions. In all fairness he may have been tired because mine was the last appointment of the day, but my overall impression was that he is pretty typical of most doctors. He was not what I expected and therefore I did not return to his office. I found a great acupuncturist in Solon who practices Chinese medicine.
