This was my second visit with Sharon and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Just like my initial visit, I received specialized individual care and an amazing acupuncture session. Today’s visit reinforces the fact of my new norm being an acupuncture appointment every two months. Traditional Chinese Medicine is absolutely amazing and having Sharon as your “go to” is icing on the cake! Thank you, Fred H.

This was my very first visit to Empirical Point Acupuncture and I can express nothing but positive comments. As other reviews have stated, Sharon is absolutely the best in her field. I am fortunate enough not to have any health concerns so my appointment was for an examination and acupuncture. The experience was quite profound! Sharon is pleasant and extremely easy to talk to, an absolute professional. So looking forward to my next acupuncture appointment...... Thank you Sharon!

Best pain relief I have had after several weeks of pursuing other therapies (massage, ART, PT, anti-inflammatories.) After an hour of acupuncture, I finally had a good night's sleep for the first time in a month, and the muscle seems to have relaxed completely. Highly recommend for sports and other musculoskeletal injuries.

Sharon both asked and answered a lot of questions. She offered making my next visit so as to not be caught in rush hour traffic. She laid out her plan of treatment for the next three weeks. When I surprised her with a couple aches and pains I forgot to put down on the application, she immediately supplemented her approach to accommodate those maladies. Very impressed.

Sharon is an complete professional. I have metastatic breast cancer and Graves disease. She will research the literature to find out everything she can about your problems so that she will provide you with the best care. She is extremely knowledgeable about the role that Chinese medicine and acupuncture can play along with traditional allopathic or osteopathic medicine. She is a most compassionate, caring and competent health care provider.

Sharon is extremely attentive. She has resolved many of my issues and sometimes I call her the lazy man's physical therapist because I am sure she has saved me from hours of PT. I recently came in with one issue that stumped her and she took the time to write up a case study about it and post it to a group of her peers to investigate the right approach. I appreciate that she took the time and interest to really seek out the best treatment for me.

Sharon is as delightful as all the other 5 star reviews say. Her office is warm, peaceful and inviting. Having struggles with lower back pain for years, I am amazed at the relief I'm feeling after the first session. She was extremely helpful in answering my questions and after hearing what ailed me said, "anything else on your wish list?" What a great way to cast a vision for wholeness and health. She took a genuine interest in who I am and was open about her own life establishing a great repoire right off the bat. Wish there were more like her in the medical profession.
