Verified patient
She was nice. She listened to my history and explained me everything she could about acupuncture. The office was clean. Facility was nice too. The session was good too. I think they could have told me about co-pay in advance (but it was genuine mistake I think). Also, the payment method could have been more secure.
Verified patient
The office was a little hard to find the first time, so give yourself time to get there to find parking I arrived RIGHT on schedule, and I was greeted with a warm smile and a kind welcome. It was a bit of a relief (I don’t like being late- and I left in time to be early). She listened, asked ME some questions, made suggestions, (for me to look into)… and was thorough. She was swift and efficient. We proceeded to the Accupuncture room. I was talked through the whole process. I actually fell asleep! I could feel the tingling. I do want to go again. Very professional and sincere.
Verified patient
