I first went to see Dr. Boxer for shoulder pain due to a frozen shoulder. I had been going to physical therapy for months with no improvement and constant pain. Doctors referred me to pain management treatment and prescribed strong pain medication. However, I didn't want to take that route and depend on pain medication. I mentioned this to a friend and she recommended I go see Dr. Boxer for the pain.
Within a few visits of acupuncture with Dr. Boxer my pain was gone, after a few more visits the mobility on my shoulder came back. I've been pain free for years. I continue to see Dr. Boxer as part of self care and well-being. She's amazing! She's responsive and accommodating. She's an expert in her field, shares her knowledge and has excellent bedside manners.

It was my first and very good experience with acupuncture. I wanted to avoid a medical induction so I was trying to find another way. My doula has referred me to Mindy. It took only 1 session and things get started! So, in 2 days I was in labor very naturally and easy. Office is easy to access, the atmosphere here is calm and peaceful. Perfect place and good treatment!

Where do I begin? Dr. Boxer is simply life changing. She is that rare combination of practitioner, both loving and highly knowledgeable. She is committed to helping others. Has been practicing for over 20 years. Currently, I see her once a week and her sublime acupuncture treatments, along with nutritional counseling, are guiding back to full health from Pancreatic Cancer. Go see her. You can thank me later.

I really love Mindy and as a doula I send her a lot of my pregnant clients and they are always very satisfied. I have sent her moms who had never had acupuncture before but needed a little help getting things started to avoid a medical induction and it almost never failed. With Mindy's love and ability to get the moms calm and welcoming many of my clients following their visits with her, experienced a gentle birth
