I must say that I am truly happy with my visit with Dr. Alex. After a very long time, I finally found an acupuncturist that I would visit frequently. Alex is such a gentle and informative doctor. I had a lot of muscle soreness in my IT band, going all the way down my calves. Alex is someone who gets to the root of the problem. There were certain stretches that he conducted to see the level of pain/discomfort and started the needling once he figured out where the main issue was. I would easily recommend him to others!

Very thorough. Dr. Ezzati sat with me and went over all issues I am currently facing. He then went on to locate what he feels is the root of all my problems, as well as explained a treatment plan. I would highly recommend Dr.Ezzati if you are looking for someone to listen, treat, and care to your condition while creating a comfortable environment for you.
