“Serina was amazing, the only reason I had to stop seeing her was because my insurance changed otherwise I would have continued forever! She is extremely knowledgable and kind, and her work immensely improved my injuries I came in with along with helping other things such as stress, skin and gut issues. Cannot recommend her services enough!“

“I can’t recommend Anne Chiaramonte highly enough. She is truly exceptional when it comes to women’s health at every stage of life — whether you’re trying to conceive, navigating perimenopause, or going through menopause.

What really sets Anne apart is how deeply she listens and how thoughtfully she approaches care. She takes the time to understand the full picture and often starts with targeted health testing to identify what your body truly needs. She also offers these tests at a very reasonable cost, which makes a big difference.

I always feel supported, heard, and confident in her care — she’s simply amazing.“

“Evelyn is absolutely fantastic! I have been seeing her over the past few years and she has always been so kind and accommodating to my schedule. Evelyn truly has healing hands and always provides supportive advice and truly listens to you. I love that she always follows up with me, checking in and making me feel as if my well being is important to her. Her services in whole body care is top level and she is the only person I trust!! Any time I've been to see her she ensures the environment is calm and inviting. I definitely recommend her care!!“

“I have been seeing Jordan for about 3 years, it is the best Accupuncture experience I’ve ever had! I am someone who is interested in health and already a believer in Chinese medicine - but Jordan has a particular approach that is very unique. I’m the beginning he was treating my neck pain after a serious car accident… but the appointments have evolved into overall health and general well being. If anything is off in my body (digestion, emotional imbalance, aches / pains, etc) I know he can at least make it better if not gone. Thank you Jordan! I am very grateful for the work you do :)“

“Phil is the best - he is very interested in learning new/effective methods including technological add ons that have been super helpful to me. He and his staff are genuinely loving and caring. I highly recommend.“

“So grateful for this place! They are excellent acupuncturusts, caring and fantastic treatment. I love how easy it is to get in with their open room. Thank you!“

“I found christina when my health insurance changed and I had to change my acupuncturist of 10+ years. It turned out to be an amazing gift --- christinas treatments have helped me manage ongoing overuse injuries from yoga and other active lifestyle pains, while also supporting my immune system and mental health. I recommend christina to anyone going through a period of personal or physical transition, as she makes me feel cared for as her patient. Ive learned a lot from christina as well about various nutritional causes of imbalance or nutritional opportunities for healing.

She is also extremeeeeely careful with the acupuncture needles. She takes her time to place them slowly and with care, so id also recommend her to anyone with needle sensitivity. Just communicate your needs clearly and christina is there to help!“

“It is impossible to overstate the love and gratitude I have for Kate. I am so glad I finally decided to try acupuncture to assist with fertility. And Kate soon became my first line of defense when I was feeling off through my pregnancy and postpartum. Kate is a miracle worker and has a down to earth approach for optimal health. She has helped me with digestion issues, carpal tunnel, fertility, stress and pain. There is nothing she can not help with. Kate is very calm, professional, intelligent and caring. If only health plans covered Doctors of Acupuncture as primary care providers, then I would chose Dr. Kate Wilson!!“

“Dr. Loki has saved my life. I initially came to him through a workman compensation claim for extreme upper back pain as a result of working too many hours in front of a computer. I had seen numerous practitioners over the prior 4 years to some relief but Loki was able to address the pain in a systematic root function approach and got me to a place where I have not had issues in that area since. I’ve had other issues come up with low back/hip/piriformus pain and limited mobility due to injury and he has helped relieve my pain levels and address on-going anxiety and depression. He is great at listening to determine root causes of pain and providing accurate medical documentation to medical coding so it translates to the western medical system. Additionally his migraine treatment that he offers has helped ward those off. I’ve seen many acupuncturist over the years but none that are as holistic and effective as Loki. He genuinely is a wonderful, caring individual and you can tell his goal is to support his patients to achieve their health goals and live pain free.“

“Cecile D'Amore is a wonderful acupuncturist! I saw her for several years and her treatments helped me tremendously. I am so grateful to her. Quan Trang is amazing as well!“

“I’ve been seeing Lauren a few years. She has helped me thru many different difficulties. I recently tried the facial acupuncture and after 2 sessions I’m extremely pleased with results on my brow frown lines. The reflex massage is a bonus that leaves you on cloud nine. I highly recommend her and all of her services. She works on my grandson ( 10yrs) as well for his high energy and lack of focus. it’s amazing what we see after the sessions. He’s been seeing her a little over a year now. Mahalo Lauren for your true care and healing hands.“
