My family and I have been going to Dr. Dughman for a few years now, and we have always had a great experience. The entire staff is very skilled, and their approach is appropriate both for my daughter’s age and for me, since I’ve always been terrified of the dentist!!! In fact, I’ve always struggled even with a regular teeth cleaning, and Dr. Polly is incredibly gentle and attentive, I really appreciate that.
Jet Black Tint is quality and reliable, especially this Alameda location. I've had 3 of our vehicles done here, they all have been amazing and never had any problems. And even if you do, lifetime warranty. I generally recommend all my relatives and friends to here, they have a variety of tints as well for you to choose. Service is great, the boss is easy to communicate with. Definitely Recommended.

I had a great experience with Nai at Acne Specialists of Alameda! She is super friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable right away by asking what problem areas I was hoping to work on. She explains what will help with my concerns and is encouraging without making me feel scolded about my admittedly bad skincare habits. The treatment was really thorough (she asked about ALL the products I use - including my hair care!) and relaxing (I fell asleep during the red light therapy). She took the time to answer my questions and we even talked about some trendy skin care products/gadgets (she was down to earth about them and I really trusted her knowledge when it came to knowing what was -and wasn't- worth the expense and effort). When I say she was thorough, I should mention that toward the end the session, she noticed that I had a little dryness around my lip area and took the extra time to put a moisturizing treatment on my lips - you have to appreciate a girly that won't let you walk out with ashy lips! I leave feeling glowy, refreshed, and excited that we can achieve the skin I've been yearning for. Thank you so much Nai - I'm so thankful we have you here in Alameda now!

Demi's Beauty Boutique is a great place for you to relax with great service! My first time experiencing this cozy and relaxing nail studio. Plus, the service was great, and the job was wonderful. I will definitely come back to try the pedicure. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful massage with Gerri. She was so good with going deep within my muscles, but doing it with great care. You can tell she knows the body and what she is doing. I would highly recommend Gerri. I really look forward to returning!
Found David through a local FB post and inquired to have some paint correction work done, as well as liquid PPF and ceramic coating. Needless to say I am speechless with the results.
David was communicative and enthusiastic through the whole process, keeping me updated on where the car was and what step he was on. Even on pickup, he was able to square an away a few small nitpicks of mine without any fuss.
I highly recommend David simply for how meticulous he is with his work.
Cindy is the best! Her designs are so pretty, and she takes great care to make sure you're happy throughout the entire process -- from the design to placement to tattooing itself. She was incredibly kind when I asked for changes to my design and helped me find something that I love. Also, my tattoo from her over 1.5yrs ago is aging really well and looks amazing still! No touch-ups needed. 10/10 recommend Cindy!
I had given up on gel manicures, since they would start peeling after a week.
I'm SO happy a friend told me about Nomi. The gel builder manicures are perfect. Not only do I finally have nails that will grow, my color lasts an entire month! Highly recommend!
I have been going here for a few months and I really like the place. Clean, even a bit fancy. They are great at everyone's styles and I mean everyone's. I've never had a bad experience / everyone is super friendly. When I moved here I wondered how long it would take to find a good shop. Feel grateful the first place I tried was great.
Marlo at Studio M has been my hairdresser for over 25 years. She kept me looking professional with stylish cuts and color for years while I was working. Since I've retired, she has still kept me looking current with my gray hair cut in fun, short, sassy styles.
Marlo is always happy to take time to show me different ways to style a new cut or show me how different hair products can create a new exciting look. She's very knowledgeable about her profession and knows how to cut and style your hair to enhance your features.
The salon is lovely and inviting, and Marlo is a gem. She's smart, interesting, caring, and always fun to talk to. I highly recommend Marlo at Studio M!
Twist changed my curl life forever. Everywhere I go I get compliments on my curls, and it just would not have been possible without Twist; everyone here has taught me everything I know about styling and maintaining curls.
Tyler and Nicole do such a fantastic job with my cut, color and style. Always a treat to come to Twist!!
I had the good fortune of having Melissa cut and style my complicated hair. I have a lot of it and when the curls dry they lose about 4 inches of length, but I also blow dry it straight, so in my opinion it takes a master stylist to estimate how it'll look left curly or straightened. I was happy with how I looked when I left the salon, most important how it looks whether I style it curly or straight, and how it looks on my work online meetings. Thank you Melissa, you did an amazing job.

First haircut that has made me feel confident in years! Ashley is amazing and gives great advice on what haircut suits my face shape and hairline. Will definitely be back.
Jordan is an expert hairstylist, offering great advice about my hair color and care. I wanted low maintenance gray coverage that looks natural. She is amazing!! The salon space is beautifully designed, easy to park, safe and convenient location!

I had my hair braided recently at SGS and they did a fantastic job. Byrisha was the stylist that did my hair and she was great. This is only my second time getting my hair braided and both she and Tina, the owner, were very good about answering all of my questions. The location is perfect, right there at South Shore, so it's easy to get to with plenty of parking. The salon space was comfortable and they were always checking in to see if I wanted anything to drink or snack on. I love having such a convenient spot to get my hair braided. I received so many compliments about my hair. Great job Sweet Growth!!
I used to go to a traditional barbershop but then I grew my hair out during the pandemic. Jenene helped me look good with longer hair and now every time I get a fresh cut by her I get compliments from my friends and family. The experience of getting a haircut from Jenene is also fun.
I booked a balayage appointment at Crop Salon for my wife’s birthday, and it turned out to be such a great experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and professional, making her feel special on her day.
Jessie did an amazing job with the balayage—she took the time to understand exactly what my wife wanted and delivered beautiful, natural-looking results. The color was blended perfectly and her hair looked healthy and stunning.
My wife absolutely loved her hair and left feeling confident and happy, which made the birthday even more special. Highly recommend Crop Salon and Jessie for anyone looking for high-quality balayage and a great overall experience.
2411 Santa Clara Ave Suite 19, Alameda California 94501
I transitioned from long to short hair and Therese really helped me with the transition! I am still getting compliments on my haircut and it’s been a few months! No regrets!
Jone, who does excellent work on hair, is always fantastic. I have awful straight hair and after Jone works her magic at the Honey Salon in Alameda CA, my hair looks fantastic. Highly recommend her!
Experience went really well. Has consult over the phone and through text to know exactly what was expected, pricing etc. Beautician named Gabby was flexible, professional and accommodating. They care about healthy hair and their process reflects that. I will definitely be making another appointment. Thank you guys!!!
I booked Cindy for a haircut and I am very happy about the result. She knows Asian hair very well, she layers my hair very nicely and gives me a curtain bang as I ask for. She is sweet, polite, efficient and punctual. Parking is also very easy. The salon is clean and welcoming. I am very satisfied with my experience overall and will come back again.
If you need a haircut in Alameda, you go here....... It's the only option to get your cut right...... Great barbers, sjilled in all types of styles and cuts ✂️
Jalen did an absolute perfect job on my son's haircut. He vibed real well with him and my son looks so sharp now and I can see his confidence has risen. Jalen, thank you for sharing your talent and being so professional. We will be returning customers!
I have been going here for a few months and I really like the place. Clean, even a bit fancy. They are great at everyone's styles and I mean everyone's. I've never had a bad experience / everyone is super friendly. When I moved here I wondered how long it would take to find a good shop. Feel grateful the first place I tried was great.
First time ever going into a barber shop and such a cool vibe. The interior is really warm and welcoming and the staff is really friendly. Loved all the sports talk in there and enjoyed the vibes and of course, the fresh fade.
I’ve been seeing Giuseppe for about a year now and really like his work. I’ve not become a “number” as he checks in with me each time we meet; keeps it fresh.Giuseppe is a pro!
Back in the day, TK Barber Shop & Spa was my go-to groove and always made my 'do improve--and yes, that's my younger self gracing their Yelp photo. Years later, fatherhood has added some greys, but TK still slays. A spontaneous visit reminded me why this spot remains a gem. 4.5 Stars * Sunny's Sorcery Sunny's still got it! He understood my hair's quirks so quick and slick, wielding those rare texturizing scissors like a magic trick. Left looking fresher and younger--pure wizardry. * Budget Brilliance At $31, my bucks stayed sound, while my look was crowned. Exceptional value for top‑notch service. * Swift Service No appointments, no waits--just in and out at record rates. Walked in, sat down, and was out in under 10 minutes--efficiency that's destined to win it. * Park Street Perks Located amidst Alameda's vibrant Park Street, where eats and treats make each visit complete. A haircut here fits perfectly into a day about town--one cut, one strut, never a letdown. 1/2 * K-Pop Poster Play The Big Bang posters still adorn the walls, and matching members across posters takes brainy recalls. ------ 1/2 (-) Cramped Quarters Caveat The shop's narrow layout feels snug and tight--if it gets packed, comfort takes flight. Thankfully, I visited during a calm spell.
Big fan of this place. Great cuts . They do an incredible job every time . One recommendation : if you're new , consider bringing a photo of a haircut you've liked in the past
I had a great experience. I got here a little late, but they accommodated my time. The staff was friendly and it was nice and clean here. I love my nails
Kathy was so sweet and attentive! A spa experience that was so relaxing. She was able to accomplish my nail inspiration I came in with and had great recommendations! 10/10 recommend.
2515 Santa Clara Ave #106, Alameda California 94501
The best place to get your gel mani and pedi, Stephanie knows what she's doing and is so creative! She offers different types of services for your nails always has the best in products she takes care of your nails and gives you exactly what your looking for. Makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed. The salon is unique and always very clean. Very pleasant experience coming in and getting pampered. I LOVE this place ❤️
By chance I was walking by and decided to see whether they took walk-ins, and I'm glad I did! Lynn was super friendly, she did a great job on my nails, and she gave me a gel manicure at a really great price. I'll definitely be coming back!
I have been a loyal customer of Nancy's salon for close to 20 years. Sophia is my regular manicure/pedicurist and she does a marvelous job. When Sophia is on vacation I go to Nancy or Lily both of whom are excellent. I am more than satisfied with Nancy's Salon and am very grateful to Nancy and her wonderful staff.
I was feeling sad. My husband had been Hospitalized and I needed a refresher on my nails and they made me feel like a queen today. Very good service very beautiful work. Here’s the picture.
I have been going to many local nail salons where I live for pedicures and have been disappointed in everyone. I feel I pay ridiculous amounts of money for fancy chairs, decor, hot rocks, rose petals and champagne, etc. Not that I do not enjoy those things but what I want is quality work. I need pedicure to not only have cute toes but to keep my feet healthy and free from excessive callus growth and cracking. Other shops are revolving people as fast as they can but Nancy at Elegant Nails really worked on my issues. I just had a pedicure and it was absolutely amazing work. She is solo in her shop and is open by appointment only. If you leave her a message she will call back immediately. You are not going get the bells and whistles of other shops but you will get quality work and great care.
I booked a same-day service for a builder gel manicure, and I’m thrilled with the results! Nhi was absolutely amazing, taking her time to create a gorgeous manicure for me. And to top it off, there even gave me a relaxing shoulder massage. It was a total pampering experience!
Linda did my brows like no other!!! I’m SO much happier with my eyebrows. I lived in Mexico and 1st got them “microshaded” but wasn’t totally happy. When Linda redesigned them, I felt FABULOUS. Now, the strokes look just like hair feel more natural. Yay!!! Cool—-
I’ve been coming to this nail salon regularly for a year now and I love my nails everytime I get them done by Emily. The salon is clean, there is just relaxing music playing, no tvs, they offer water and are all respectful, quiet and friendly. ♥️
I got a builder gel manicure and it’s perfect!! Noelani did an amazing job and is very meticulous. I can’t wait to come back and get designs next time!
I had a keratin lash lift and brow shaped today by Tran. She is an absolute professional who takes care in optimizing my natural hair and enhancing my beauty. The salon doesn’t have much of a “store front” since it tucked away on the second floor, but it’s clean, comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommended for all sorts of brow, lash and waxing beautification.
Michelle at Lovely Brows is amazing! She shaped my brows perfectly and made them look natural yet polished. Super professional, friendly, and detail-oriented. My brows have never looked better!
My ASD son loathes haircuts - change is hard. He also has insanely thick curly hair that hadn’t been cut in nearly a year. Rebecca worked wonders and gave him a cut that suits his face and makes him look his age, rather than years younger. I won’t say he didn’t need a minute to adjust to the change, but hours later he loves the cut and feels confident to start school.
I worked with Maria and the happy lashes team for many years while we lived in the city. The team was very kind and professional, highly skilled and reasonably priced. They when the extra mile to ensure that I was always happy with the service, from my engagement and wedding lashes transitioning to regular wear. Would highly recommend!
Consuelo is incredibly skilled at her craft! I was preparing for my wedding day and after a miserable makeup trial with someone else, stumbling upon Consuelo's portfolio made me hopeful. Despite the short notice, she graciously squeezed me into her schedule and worked her magic. She helped me look and feel my best for my wedding day. On top of that, she's not just talented; she's also super friendly, totally professional, and actually listens to what you want. Consuelo is awesome, and if you want someone who'll make you feel gorgeous on your big day, please contact her -- TODAY! I highly recommend her!
I got a perm done by Nelly! She took great care of me and walked me through the whole process of what it is like to have permed hair. She was very knowledgeable in how to properly care for it and she gave me all the tips I needed to know! Nelly gave my hair layers and a trim then we proceeded to get the perm done. It came out great and it looks very close to the reference photos I showed her! I would most definitely recommend ⭐️
I had a lovely first appointment with Jessica Cowart. I get a pretty basic cut (basically I just get the ends of my long hair tapered). She was attentive to my pre-appointment notes and in-studio requests, and I'm super happy with the cut she gave me! Plus she was very friendly and pleasant to chat with. Studio is small and whimsical, loved the atmosphere.

Demi's Beauty Boutique is a great place for you to relax with great service! My first time experiencing this cozy and relaxing nail studio. Plus, the service was great, and the job was wonderful. I will definitely come back to try the pedicure. Highly recommend!
Living near the Bay has ramped up my hair curl more than it ever used to, but I honestly didn’t know how to work with it. I went into this Alameda salon for a simple trim focused on my natural texture, and it ended up feeling like real self-care rather than just a haircut.
Jennifer and her daughter Maya (who does the shampooing and “noodling”) were both calm, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. They used clean, low-tox products that actually worked with my curls—no heaviness, no damage, just soft, bouncy definition that still felt like my hair. They also took the time to explain what they were doing and shared practical at-home tips, including a non-wash-day refresher routine that feels doable. The space itself is cozy and thoughtful—fresh tea, flavored water, little candies up front—and there’s even a sweet chihuahua mix (Nina) who’ll curl up in your lap if you’re open to it. It felt unhurried and genuinely caring.
I only wish I could budget getting my hair washed and “noodled” more often. If you’re in the East Bay and have natural curls—or you’re just looking for low-tox products that actually perform—this place is a quiet little gem.
Awaken Lash is a very professional and well ran lash business that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for lashes in the East Bay. I have been a consistent customer for over a year and have had about 20 past appointments to speak to. Every single time it has been a pleasure! Not only does she do quality work, she is punctual, communicates clearly, is open to making adjustments and knows her industry well. Awaken is in a nice building with easy parking and has great amenities like clean restrooms and extra comfortable lash bed. Treat yourself to low maintenance lashes today!
Second time going and had an excellent experience once again, explains the process and is very helpful with any questions or concerns, goes above and beyond:) and very creative and amazing attitude, look forward to coming back ?Specialties: Tooth gems
Katie has been giving my hair foils for several years now. She is skilled with scissors and colors, and I can't believe I did not discover her sooner. I wasted 30 years driving to Marin County to have my hair done. I recommend her to anyone who wants quality.....and at a reasonable price too.
I have been coming to Tini for years and always receive compliments on how natural my extensions look. My lashes have survived backpacking trips, international work travel and many special occasion events. Service is quick, clean and affordable, would recommend to anyone looking to get extensions.
1151 Harbor Bay Pkwy Ste. 208M, Alameda California 94502
Service is serene and professional. Very attentive to client skin needs. Relaxing background music inspires relaxation. Quiet highly skilled owner focuses on client needs in advance. Smooth serenity pervades the experience.
I’ve never gotten my eyebrows threaded before and she was so nice and careful when doing them. The place is super clean and the price is amazing. I really had nothing to be afraid of, I highly recommend!
Chris has now been apart of my wellness journey for over 15 years! She is kind and professional. Her facials are amazing and I love taking Pilates at her new studio!! Overall 5+ stars! ?
799 East Green Street Studio 38, Pasadena California 91101
Rarely do I write reviews, but Viktoria’s facials NEED to be talked about! I’ll preface this by saying I had acne for 17 years and had gone to many estheticians and dermatologists. Some got me sort of close to the results I wanted but nobody has gotten my skin to clear up this much! Viktoria is amazing as are the products she uses. They’re super high quality and I personally love the smell of them. I will be a consistent customer of Skin Glow for as long as I live in L.A!!! Seriously if you were looking for a sign to book her this is it :)
2500 Central Ave Suite 202, Alameda California 94501
Love the services and personal care Laura takes when working with me. She is always very in-tune with what my skin needs. She's also improving on her skills and techniques which I can see/feel the benefits of on my skin. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking to add self care into their routine. Thanks Laura!
1070 Marina Village Pkwy Suite: 201A, Alameda California 94501
Wow, what a massage! I booked on Groupon for a prenatal massage but I had my baby early. Jackie was able to accommodate and instead provide me a customized massage for my 2 week postpartum with lymphatic massage. She’s very nice, accommodating and knowledgeable in her practice. I highly recommend and will be coming back!
There isn't enough time in a day to cover all the amazing things about Vita and Allure Skin Studio! There is no one I trust more with My skin than Vita! She is a skin master and spa magician with all the best tools, techniques, and technology in her bag! She is so knowledgeable and I have done every treatment with her from monthly facials, to deep peels, to slimming infrared sudatonic body wraps! Her space is so warm and intimate. Her energy is calm and honest. I would pick a spa day at Vita's Studio over any Treatment you would find in SF or Sonoma! Vita is in demand so prepare to book a few weeks/months in advance. Have patience, she is worth the wait!
Chris is the best! I have been getting a facial a month, from her, for the past 3 years and so I know how good her facials are. I’m totally addicted and can’t live without them!!
Tkeyah is excellent. Been going to her for years and she is my preferred choice when it comes to waxing. She’s kind, quick and efficient. 10/10 would highly recommend
3211 Encinal Ave Suite D, Alameda California 94501
Kim was a very professional, comforting and thorough aesthetician. My skin neck and upper chest looked so revived after her treatment. She’s a real quality practitioner.
I had the “all pores go to heaven” facial and my skin is still glowing! You can tell Elena really cares about her craft and your skin! I felt very relaxed during my experience and her atmosphere is very homie. I would totally recommend!!
Quick and easy waxing experience! Had a Brazilian and lower back wax. I am very sensitive. She was very gentle and sweet. Will definitely be going back.

Melvi's place was clean and organized, and her attitude was extremely professional. As an everyday man, I rarely think of getting a facial. However, I would highly recommend booking an appointment at Beauty in Metamorphosis.
I highly recommend Gigi! She gives wonderful, clearly articulated treatments and MASSAGE! She is knowledgeable and her space is warm and inviting. I will be returning!
2329 Santa Clara Ave #205, Alameda California 94501
Hax made all of my tattoo dreams come true ✨ So kind, communicative, caring, and clear - the entire process. Really works to make sure that you’re getting exactly what you want. Could not recommend more!
Cindy is the best! Her designs are so pretty, and she takes great care to make sure you're happy throughout the entire process -- from the design to placement to tattooing itself.

Hells yes this place is epic! Owner Eric Reed has like 40 years of tattooing! His designs are amazing and his smooth attitude keeps the shop really relaxed. Small location focusing on AMAZING tattoos. Highly recommend it for any style you may want.
I willI've been getting tattooed by Ricky since my 20s, and he always does an outstanding job. My cousin wanted to get a matching tattoo for her birthday, so we both decided to go to Ricky. He's an incredibly skilled artist and has the patience to ensure that his clients are happy with their work. I’m excited to come back for my cover-up!

While attempting to modify my irrigation system, I ended up breaking the heavily corroded old galvanized line to my house. I was able to patch it but needed a professional fix quickly. Angel from Big Brothers plumbing came out the very next morning, provided me a reasonable estimate, and started the work that same day. And when it turned out they didn’t need to replace some of the pipe that had been earmarked for replacement, Angel was honest about it and saved me a couple thousand dollars. That kind of integrity you don’t see often. They finished the job in few hours and did great work. Shout out to Luis and Ruben as well. Highly recommend these guys, they are great people!

I just think it's great that I can finally call a plumber and not have to worry about the "how" when you get down to the basics. Plumbing Heroes: Alameda came to my house and had the job done in less than a few hours! It was great talking to them and they were very professional. The job was completed and there wasn't any damage to our building or property, which is always a relief on a big project like that one. Thanks to this plumber Alameda´s job!Service: Toilet installation
Scott is an excellent plumber and provided truly top-notch service. He came highly recommended by **Styles Bath & Kitchen**, and it was clear right away why they trust his work. From the first call to the completed job, Scott was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable.
He arrived on time, clearly explained the issue, and efficiently repaired our **Hansgrohe faucet** with great attention to detail. The quality of his workmanship was outstanding, and he made sure everything was functioning perfectly before leaving. He also kept the workspace clean and treated our home with care.
If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled plumber, Scott is the one to call. His pricing was fair, his communication was excellent, and the results exceeded our expectations. We will absolutely use Scott again for any future plumbing needs and highly recommend him to anyone searching for a trusted local plumber.
Russel and his colleague were on time, thorough, reasonable price, and a pleasure to work with. They did a fantastic job!! I would recommend them anytime.
Mark is so quick and thorough and easy to work with. We have two dogs so our couch and rugs were *rough* when he arrived. He did a bang up job - we will def be hiring him again.
2515 Santa Clara Ave #200, Alameda California 94501
I have been using cleaning services for a long time and this is by far my favorite! They don't use chemicals, but they use high temperatures to clean my house. They steam clean all my home, making it feel super clean and safe. They are very reliable and always on time. They provided me with my own towels, they always use gloves, shoe covers and masks. I really like their service. Highly recommend it!
1101 Marina Village Pkwy UNIT 201, Alameda California 94501
Hiring them for our living room makeover was the best decision! They were easy to work with, responsive, and brought greet ideas to table. The transformation is stunning, and we couldn't be happier!
Collins Remodeling turned our closed-off 70s-style kitchen into a bright, open space that ties in perfectly with the rest of the home. They expanded the layout with an extension, reconfigured all the utilities, and helped us pick durable, stylish materials. I appreciated that they handled permits directly and explained every major decision. Their team worked well together, stayed flexible, and found quick solutions whenever we needed some changes. The remodel went on smoothly, and we couldn’t be happier.
Jameson construction is one of the best construction sites in Alameda the work that he does is tremendously obvious that he knows what he's doing I would recommend him to all my friends and family to his contracting business I have seen his work over and over and over again I have been living here and Alameda since 1972 and I've seen a lot of contractors come and go but I know that Jameson's contracting is here to stay if you need any kind of contracting done please contact Jameson construction I would give him 20 Stars if I could yours truly William j Johnson
Saarman Construction is a very responsive contractor. They have bid many of my projects and provided consultations as their own cost. A Saarman project is a job well done!
Winn is the most patient guy I know... he would listen to you and have this can-do attitude to solve the problems at hand. His sense of humor disarms tense situations... definitely a recommend!
1151 Harbor Bay Pkwy Ste 208A, Alameda California 94502
This was my first time remodeling my condo (or any property) and I couldn't be happier with my experience with Isaam Construction. They were thorough, skilled, and had a big emphasis on quality and communication that I really appreciated.
Abraham was my onsite manager and he was... actually onsite! He was very kind about answering all my questions and providing recommendations where needed. He was very patient when I needed time to figure things out, and honest when things needed change. He'd often FaceTime me to excitedly show progress updates and when he had questions or ideas.
I'm often anxious about doing home updates and tend to go the DIY route. Javier, the team's tile expert, really convinced me that sometimes a professional is just better. I had my bathroom remodeled and I still smile at how well the tile is laid EVERY TIME I SHOWER. I definitely can't say the same about all the personal projects I've tiled in the past.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable process and I would absolutely hire them again!
I wanted an Alumawood patio cover with ceiling fans, and Taylor Patios did a great job. They helped me choose the right style and other important details. The team handled everything from permits to installation. Thank you!!
ReviewThis review has been long overdue! Our house project started just before COVID and involved pretty much remodeling our entire house on the inside. Little did we know that because of COVID, our project would take longer than expected. Despite all the COVID delays, we loved the final results. I would say as far our experience with P.K. Remodeling, Piotr is probably one of the most genuine, reasonable, honest contractors out there. His team were good guys too. He was very chill, easy to work with, took care of everything behind the scenes with the city, and surprisingly reachable. We had a leak from the outside due from the rain and siding (unrelated to the inside project) and called him late at night when we got home from a vacation to notice there water seeping through the wall prior to him installing the floors. He actually replied and had his guys look at it immediately the next day and fixed our leak. When there were issues, as there always inevitably is some with home remodeling, he worked with us to pivot with new creative ideas/solutions. Although my husband and I are fairly picky in our design choices, he was honest in what he felt would look good for our home, so there was some healthy debate in certain situations. Piotr was adamant that we have lights under our waterfall kitchen counter. We were hesitant at first, but he was right, and now it's one of the favorite characteristics of our kitchen. One time, he happened to be at the same tile store as we were. We were having some trouble deciding on trim borders, he kindly joined us in conversation with the designer, but was gently insistent that the white trim edge liners looked much better than the metal that was considered. Again, he was right. All in all, this process was not without its challenges and stress, but it made it so much easier just to work with an all around good human!
My family and I have been going to Dr. Dughman for a few years now, and we have always had a great experience. The entire staff is very skilled, and their approach is appropriate both for my daughter’s age and for me, since I’ve always been terrified of the dentist!!! In fact, I’ve always struggled even with a regular teeth cleaning, and Dr. Polly is incredibly gentle and attentive, I really appreciate that.
Everyone is so friendly and you feel at home as soon as you walk in at Finn Tonsberg's Office, I have been going here for the past 20 years and it's still very nice. I will highly recommend this Dentistry!

A wonderful treat of my birthday season was an unexpected referral to the Clinton Chiropractic. Dr. Reyes' technique combines electric stimulation with massage gun as needed, before making the hands-on adjustment. I noticed results within a few visits, with lingering improvements to my wrist & shoulders.
His relaxed, personable manner doesn't hurt either!
Dr. Pieda and Emily are a great team. Emily will usually get you situated for the Doctor and Dr. Pieda takes care of the adjustment. He is good at determining what needs help and working on the issue.

I had a great experience with Dr. Galeotti. Very professional, knowledgeable, and truly care about his patient's well-being. After just a few visits, I noticed a big improvement in my pain and mobility. The office is welcoming, and appointments are always smooth and efficient. Highly recommend!

I have been going to chiropractor’s for over two decades for my scoliosis and strenuous physical work activity and I have never come across such a thorough experience as I have with Catherine from Vitalogy Chiropractic, I am always greeted with warm and positive energy and asked thorough, thoughtful questions pertaining to my physical state. Not only does she integrate Massage but I love her moving table that stretches you out as well as a tens machine she offers. She maintains a great schedule and has fit me in with cancellations and other times when I needed it most I really appreciate how she has helped me heal from pain and injuries and kept my physical shape tiptop so I can continue to work to the best of my abilities. She has also been very understanding with my children sometimes having to come with me to a session and is very sweet and caring to them as guests. I highly recommend Vitalogy Chiropractic to anyone and everyone is coming to this amazing facility has really changed my life for the better. I hope your experience is as incredible as mine is. I look forward to continuing to come regularly for years to come. If you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, this is the place to come to.
I went to visit Dr. Miller after I hurt my shoulder/upper back. His assessment was thorough and we even got to assess my lower back pain that I’ve ignored the past 8 or so years. Just days after my first adjustment my shoulder/back pain was so much better! He even gave me tips on managing my lower back pain in between my adjustments which have been really helpful!
Started as her student, stayed as her patient. If you are looking for rack & crack chiropractic, this is not the place for you. Dr. Lau takes her time and methodically analyzes the body to such a degree you would think she doesn't do anything else with her time, and smiles while doing it. My favorite part. The whole office is an experience from reception to end, and if you're looking for a Doctor that truly puts patient first... this IS the place for you.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Dufour for about a month now and it’s been such a good experience so far. I sit for about 12 hours a day for work, which has really messed with my back, shoulders and overall tightness.
He actually takes the time to figure out what’s going on instead of just doing a quick adjustment and sending you on your way. We’ve been working on a plan using the spinal decompression machine along with myofascial massage.
The decompression has helped take some pressure off, and the massage work has been great for loosening up really tight areas from all the sitting. I feel like we’re actually working toward long-term results.
Definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone who really pays attention and creates a plan that works for you.
My first visit to Dr. Basco's clinic was 2011 when I was looking for a chiropractor for my neck adjustment that cause tingling and pain in my fingers. The machine decompression is very helpful to align my whole spine. I feel a little taller every time my spine was stretched. I also brought my two kids for spine adjustment. Love the frontal water view of the clinic and lots of parking space. Dr. Basco is kind and attentive to the patients need.
Dear Dr., Sevin,I hope All is well. This is to thank you for your wonderful adjustments work on my spine. I feel great and can play golf and play with my granddaughter with ease and comfort. I hope that all your patients are as appreciative of your work as I am.Warm Regards and see you soon, Matt
Went for a 90 min massage then Red light therapy. As cliche as it may sound…. I feel like a new man! I threw my back out almost three weeks ago and just NEEDED a massage. Bobbie is the best! I love her! The Red Light Therapy afterwards was super cool….or should I say WARM. It’s great. It’s like a warm bath after a full body massage. Can’t wait for my new session….
We were so happy and pleasantly surprised with this amazing Veterinarian. Our vet told us that there was nothing more he could do for our 16-year-old Havanese. The pleasant experience we had and the herbs that they prescribed that were specific to our dogs needs give us hope that we can keep our little one healthier and happier until the end of his life Ashley was incredible. She was able to determine what Oscar needed with ease. The care was thorough and detailed. Although this vet Is an hour from our home, we will definitely use them again.
Nick takes great care of my dog. I’ve been surprised several times by how good a value his shop is - whether that’s due to the service costing less than I expected, or including more than I expected for the price.
I have been dealing with knee pain for two years! My doctor told me it was beginning arthritis. My pain recently became so bad that I could not find a comfortable position to sleep at night. Mr Felix Diaz was recommended to me by a dear friend. Thank God. I have been in a level 4-5 pain every day for months. With his expert level intake Felix was able to pin point the cause of the pain. I feel amazing. Magical. I wanted to skip, hop and run after my service! I didn't, I promised to take it easy and continue stretching at home. I can put my shoes on without pain. I could sit and stand without pain. Literal tears of joy. I can't recommend Medical Masaje enough. So grateful.
Had a deep pressure body work with was great she focused on my problem areas while still getting the benefits of a full body massage thank you. Place is very welcoming with they way she set up the entrance
We booked a day with two massage therapists with Sowa/Kneon Wellness to treat our teachers and staff during Educator Appreciation Week. They were very helpful and patient with me as we had a lot of logistics to work out. I also found their rates to be very reasonable. Day of the massages, the therapists both arrived on time to set up. Both were very friendly and gave amazing chair massages. They made many teachers happy that day. It was a big hit! I know that if/when we book massages for our teachers again, we will be using Kneon Wellness.

I always say Alison is a magical creature. Her knowledge is vast and her hands are strong. When I’m on her table, I feel safe and comfortable and I know that healing is happening.
John's treatment to help with my bulging discs and sciatic nerve pain has been the best therapy I have received. His knowledge of the body has taken the results past what I expected was possible, touching on other issues I've long accepted as normal and increased my range of motion tremendously. I feel very lucky to have found him and his approach to body work.
Kristin is an incredible masseuse! Every time I go in for a massage I leave feeling like I have new arms and legs. Before the session starts, she listens to understand your problem areas, and then focuses her massage time working through them. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful massage with Gerri. She was so good with going deep within my muscles, but doing it with great care. You can tell she knows the body and what she is doing. I would highly recommend Gerri. I really look forward to returning!
Jessica is a true healer. I had been suffering with vertigo for 6 weeks. Usually my acupuncturist fixes me up straight away but after a month of twice weekly appointments, it was still hanging on. I tried Jessica after reading up on lymphatic drainage massage. She not only did that but also incorporated craniosacral & sounds vibrational healing. I was incoherent & out of it after the session. Jessica took care of me afterwards while waiting for my husband to pick me up. Once home, I slept for 2 hours. When I woke up, it was the first time in 6 weeks I felt normal! My vertigo was gone, fogginess lifted and I felt completely balanced. My husband & I were amazed. If you’ve ever had vertigo, you know it can be debilitating (it was for me) so to experience feeling normal again was incredible. My experience with Jessica was life altering. I cannot recommend her enough. She is exceptional.
Erin is a miracle worker. Her hands are fantastic. This is a clean and classy joint. Everything here is immaculate and Erin's service is flawless. I have issues with my shoulders and Erin was able to get in there and make me feel fantastic. What a relief. She has the ability to surgically adjust pressure and MD-level knowledge of anatomy. The going rate here is about $145/hour, which is cheap for a top-notch massage therapist.
I have rarely met anyone who is as good at anything as Joan is at massage therapy. Seriously, she is incredible. I've been going to her for a few years, and she has really helped me with some chronic pain issues.
I went in with a few muscle aches. I left feeling amazing and extremely relaxed. I tried a two hour massage for the first time (didn't know that was even available). I don't think I'll ever go back to a one hour or even one and a half hour massage. Wow. What a difference that extra half hour made. I got checked in and taken to my room very quickly. Then Shelly worked wonders, while respecting the parameters I put down on my check-in form and also occasionally checking in with me during the massage to make sure I was okay with what she was doing. I'll be back.
A great place to do some self care. The service is always amazing. Melvi has truly helped transform my skin. She creates such a calming and welcoming atmosphere during your treatment.
Dr. Tiffinie Tang provided exceptional care and guidance in addressing my blood pressure. Her approach was both thoughtful and practical, offering effective habits and remedies that were easy to understand and implement. She demonstrated both expertise and genuine concern for long-term health outcomes.
Her recommendations have been impactful, and her professionalism inspires confidence throughout the process. Dr. Tang is highly recommended for anyone seeking knowledgeable, patient-centered care with a focus on sustainable health improvements.

If you're looking for the best acupuncturist on the island, look no further than Tracy from Island Acupuncture! Seriously, she's a gem and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment you walk into her clean and comfortable facility, you know you're in good hands. There's ample parking, which is always a plus.
Tracy is incredibly knowledgeable and empathetic. She truly takes the time to listen intently to your health concerns before crafting a personalized treatment plan. You never feel rushed, and it's clear she genuinely cares about your well-being. During your session, she goes above and beyond to make you comfortable, offering a blanket, heat lamp, and soothing music.
Her flexibility with appointments is fantastic, though her schedule does fill up quickly – a testament to how amazing she is! I once had a really severe case of vertigo, and Tracy was able to diagnose and provide immediate relief, which was truly remarkable. I've never encountered a service provider who is as caring and attentive, especially when you're not feeling your best. She even allows patients to text her with questions anytime and is always quick to respond. The level of care she provides feels more like a close friend or family member, and that's something truly special.
I'm incredibly grateful to have found Tracy and Island Acupuncture. If you're seeking an acupuncturist who is not only highly skilled but also deeply compassionate, Tracy is absolutely the one to see.
Dr. Dao is incredible and truly cares about her patients. She goes far beyond surface-level treatment to get to the root cause, exploring avenues I didn’t even know existed. She’s extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely listens. It means so much to have a doctor who can relate and take the time to understand how everything connects. I’m incredibly grateful to have found her and highly recommend Dr. Dao to anyone who feels something may be off with their health, she will get to the bottom of it with real care and support.
I started seeing Dr. Jenny Nieters in June 2024 and she has helped me tremendously. I was a soccer goalkeeper at the University of Southern California and she has seen me through multiple injuries. For about a year, I struggled to understand what was going on with my adductors. Without relying on any scans/imaging—and based solely on working on me over a period of time—Dr. Nieters suspected that my adductors weren't fully attached. She recommended that I travel to Philadelphia to visit Vincera Institute, a specialized core clinic, for further imaging.
Through that process, I learned that both my adductors and my rectus abdominis were not fully attached, and that I would need a combined hip and core surgery. If it weren't for Dr. Nieters, I would have only undergone hip surgery and would not have discovered the full extent of my physical situation for a long time.
I had surgery in September 2025 and am currently working hard at rehab. Thanks to Dr. Nieters, I now have a real chance to get back on the field. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also one of the kindest, and most genuinely caring people I've ever met. She has a true gift for what she does. I always leave our sessions feeling better—not just physically, but mentally as well. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to see her!!
Dr. Amenti is the best! Not only is she one of the kindest humans on the planet but she also has a Master's in Acupuncture. Her specialty is pain management. She has helped me to heal a multitude of ailments quickly. That's why I keep coming back and referring her to all of my friends! They let me know with huge smiles on their faces, how great their experience was as well. Highly recommend this wise woman.

I had an injury on my left foot that was making running or even walking fast difficult. Also I had chronic injuries/pains resulting from training for long-distance triathlons (Ironman; an 140.6 miles race) on my right shoulder and the right side of my back. Tina’s treatment has been amazing! To the point that she has earned a nickname in my household - “the Magician with Needles”!Details of my condition: (1) Injury: something dropped on my left foot. As it happened right after my Ironman World Championship race, I did not care - I was not doing much of my training. I thought that the pain would disappear by itself. Then months passed, and the pain persisted. Moreover, I realized that the NERVES on my left foot are a LITTLE NUMB. So, when I tried to run a higher mileage at my tempo pace, my left foot was less responsive after a 6-7 miles. Also, TAKING STEPS the following few days were quite difficult.(2) Chronic pain: I almost entirely breathe on one side while swimming, especially if I am doing long difficult sessions. Also, when I am holding the aero position on my time-trial bike, I inadvertently tighten one side of my upper body - this becomes especially true if I am doing hard intervals and/or doing >2-3 hours of training. Consequence: chronic dull pain on my shoulder and my back. This results in debilitating pain during later phases of a race. This was seriously hampering my sleep after long rides (which is bread-and-butter for Ironman trainings).Treatment: I had gone through extensive acupuncture treatments before the pandemic for chronic pains - thanks to my health insurance! They worked, but the results were not even close to Tina’s treatments. I went to Tina, in the beginning of Dec, 2022. After three sessions, my foot injury was completely solved! In fact, after the very first session, I was incredulous with the results! The same goes for the chronic pain on my shoulder - that I have been living with for several years now. That too was gone! I was very confident that as I start doing “red mist swim sessions” in new years, the shoulder pain would come back - it kind of did, but only to 10-20% intensity compared to what it used to be. And that was relieved after one session with Tina in Jan, 2023. Now, she has started working on the chronic pain on my right lower back - and I am experiencing her magic already.In summary, my condition was a sudden injury and one from muscle overuses from sports. Tina’s acupuncture treatment resolved both issues unbelievably well (better than physios and sports massages).
I highly recommend Heavenly Stems Acupuncture. Melissa, the owner, is a very knowledgeable and caring acupuncturist. First, she asked me thorough questions to get a deep understanding of what my ailments were and what I needed. During the treatment, she explained each step that she was taking and made sure I was ok with it. This put me at ease and made me feel safe. I appreciated how she asked me first if she could twist the needles a bit to pull the qi (energy) before doing it. She said there could be a pulling sensation. I agreed to it so there were no surprises. Even though I could feel the twists, she was very gentle. In community clinics that I had gone to before, the needles hurt sometimes, but this didn't hurt at all. It was quite relaxing and she gave me a choice of being in the quiet or listening to music. I came out of it quite relaxed, but I definitely felt it was working.
Melissa deeply cares about her work. She's a very dedicated and skilled acupuncturist. She accepts some insurance and there is free parking in the back. I would recommend her to everyone I know.
I was in bad shape with a chronic neck problem and I called Dr Lam's office. He said I could come right away. He performed Acupuncture magic on me and that night was the first night I was able to sleep in a week! Highly Recommended.

Jane is the best and really good at what she does. I've been having neck and fertility issues and she was able to address it all. I've been to several acupuncturists and she is the real deal.
I have had a great ongoing experience with Annsheng Chinese Medicine. From the dr. To the assistants; everyone is personable and friendly. The quality of service is by far some of the best I have received. I do have a certification from Berkely Acupressure Institute; which even though it doesn't allow me to work with needles, it does give me a background in the premise of Acupuncture. I can say in all honesty, that my sessions have been great. I would recommend the Dr. and her assistants as the place to go if you are seeking healthy solutions for Chinese medicine.
