This was my first experience with acupuncture. Irene was very professional and did a wonderful job. I felt great after the appointment
Iren was AMAZING!! Very personable, talked me through everything she did & explained how it would help ease my pain. I have horrendous anxiety, & issues with agoraphobia; Iren made me feel very safe, and definitely eased my anxiety. The entire experience was just very calming and soothing.

Amazing doctor !!
Iren has done wonders for me! I was able to avoid painful cortisone shots for shoulder and hand injuries and have long lasting resolutions to those issues thanks to Accupuncture. My allergies have been in control since I began allergy treatment over 2 years ago. I no longer take pills to keep them at bay and no longer dread allergy season.
I usually don’t write reviews, but this Doctor is very special. I enjoy every visit to Dr. Shemelyak. Very knowledgeable & always pays a lot of attention to all my concerns. She is very patient & always gives me great advice. Highly recommend to everyone.
