“I fully believe in the healing power of acupuncture. I’ve worked with many acupuncturists throughout the 15 years I started doing it. Dr. Rafae is one of my top 2 favorite acupuncturists. She listens, and she provides sound suggestions. Not only is the acupuncture therapeutic, but so is her guidance. Within 3 sessions, the issue I had improved dramatically! I’m extremely happy with Dr. Rafae and will confirm to see her!”

“I never thought to try acupuncture but someone mentioned it to me the other day and it got me to thinking about it. I checked my insurance to see if they covered it and they did so I tried it. Very stimulating. Let's see next couple of sessions. ”

I have been seeing Dr. Refae for a couple of months and have weekly appointment. After my first appointment, I saw a significant reduction in my stress level. My continued appointments have worked on muscle and joint pain with great results. These appointments have become the high light of my week. Dr. Refae is patient, caring, and very positive. She is a joy to work with and has a great bedside manner.

I love and look forward love my acupuncture appointments with Dr. Refae. She is extremely knowledge, kind, easy to talk to and truly listens to everything you are going through. Though my focus is fertility, when Dr. Refae asks how I’m feeling and if there is something else going on she will work on that as well! For example I’ve had knee surgery and expressed my knee has been bothering me; she immediately added in treatments for my knee that have helped a lot! Overall it’s a great experience and I do believe it is helping both my physical and mental health.

I always have an amazing experience! The office is always clean. The atmosphere is calm and serene. Wherever possible, I come and see Dr. Reem. My visits prepare me for my week. I often come right before work and my shift is 10x easier to get through. As long as her office is open, I will be a patient here! <3
