My experience with Keri Shaw was very unpleasant. She was rude and dismissive from the beginning. I had trouble finding the clinic entrance and called for clarification. when I explained that I was lost, she sighed heavily &said, “oh my God.” She told me the clinic was inside the 1818 building. When I tried to confirm, “oh, it’s inside the building?” she cut me off sharply &said, “Well if you listen then I can explain.” I was taken aback but stayed quiet and let her finish. When we finally arrived at her office, she rolled her eyes &remarked, “well that was quite the trip.” Both my husband &I were shocked at her attitude. She then took my insurance card and very dismissively told me that our insurance didn’t cover her services, so we would need to pay out of pocket. By this point I was already feeling unwelcome and disheartened. I had been looking forward to acupuncture ahead of our IVF & was seeking a supportive and professional environment. Unfortunately, this was absolutely not it.
Verified patient
Great experience. Very thorough review of my issues. The acupuncture was intense with electro stim, but the results were great! Muscle tightness continued to improve in the days following my visit. Will definitely continue to see this therapist.
Verified patient
I adore Keri! She is highly knowledgeable and a master at her craft. I came to her with stress and a persistent SI joint pain that was debilitating. Seeing her regularly has drastically decreased my pain and flare-ups. I recommend her to everyone. She cares about you and is invested in your overall well-being. From first timers to regular acupuncture recipients, she will be there to guide you through the session, and you will have tangible results.
Verified patient
Keri was very clear and understanding with my issues. She made me feel like I was in very good hands. In addition to care she was a very kind soul who really took the time to get to know me and make me comfortable. I will absolutely be a returning patient. Highly recommend!

Great experience.
Verified patient
Such a wonderful experience. My last few visits were to help with some knee and muscle issues and even after one visit felt relief and less stress. Will always visit here monthly as the experience and results are always top notch.
Verified patient
Keri is amazing. I've been seeing her for years for neck, back and shoulder pain due to a car accident a few years ago. She has a very caring, compassionate and effective approach. I highly recommend her.
Verified patient
My wife and I both scheduled our first-ever acupuncture treatments with Keri on the same day. She listened very well to our issues, answered all our questions, and the treatment was professional. Her office is clean and comfortable and I liked that the lighting was purposely dim and relaxing. We have already scheduled another follow-up for next month.
Verified patient
Keri was clearly knowledgeable and confident. I have seen acupuncturists in the past who were timid. Keri targeted the very points giving me trouble. I felt amazing at the end of the appointment. I look forward to more treatment from Keri.
Verified patient
This was a 10 out of 10 experience. They took a lot of time to get to know me and what I was hoping to get out of acupuncture before just jumping in. You feel very safe and it’s a highly relaxing space. My sleep and overall stress levels drastically improved over the following week I can’t wait to go back!

Keri Shaw at Blue Pearl Acupuncture is EXCELLENT!! A highly skilled and knowledgable acupuncturist, Keri took the time to listen and learn about my issues. She offered several helpful suggestions and insights from a Chinese Medicine perspective. She was thoughtful, kind and not at all rushed during intake. I felt listened to and understood. The treatment was very pleasant. Blue Pearl Acupuncture has a beautiful location on Lake Union with easy parking out front. I highly recommend Keri Shaw at Blue Pearl Acupuncture.
Verified patient
I felt so listened to, respected, and taken care of. After only two appointments I already am feeling so much better, physically and mentally. I was a tad skeptical about acupuncture helping with mental health, but along with other treatments and general health awareness these acupuncture treatments have truly helped with my anxiety. I love going to Keri because she actually cares about you as a person, you physical pain, AND mental pain.
Verified patient
Keri has a great bedside manner. She is empathetic, kind and a tuned in listener. One of the things I appreciate most about her is that she clear on what acupuncture can and cannot do. If you need to do the work somewhere else, she will tell you. I always feel that I'm in good hands with Keri and inevitably feel better when I leave her office.
Verified patient

I really enjoyed meeting Ms. Shaw. She was pleasant and kept apprised of what was going on. She was sensitive to me, my time, feelings and comfort. I will be making another appointment. I highly recommend her. Just a suggestion, it would be nice to have music and maybe candles.
