    Dr. Tamara was wonderful! She was very kind, informative, funny, and made my acupuncture appointment a delight. The treatment I received just melted away all the stress and pains I’d been experiencing. Highly recommend. It was the bees knees!

Also who knows, but maybe I’ll do acupuncture again in the future, because overall it was a nice experience
