Report
I had upper back pain following degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine for years. I experienced pain on a daily basis. Dr. Moffit listened to my symptoms and embarked on treatment plan incorporating several techniques and after two sessions I was no longer bothered by pain. Now I undergo maintenance treatments to keep my body in balance. This was my first experience with acupuncture and I am truly grateful.

I've been going to acupuncture for years for my Ulcerative Colitis. I just started seeing Robert a month ago and he is awesome! He will spend time getting to know you and your body and will not rush through appointments.

My massage therapist recommended acupuncture for infertility, best decision ever! The staff is friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Robert Moffett has a wealth of knowledge and training! My stress level & sleep have improved! I will continue to recommend Acupuncture Associates to my friends, family and anyone who will listen to my experience.

I started going to Acupuncture Associates for pain, numbness and tingling in my left arm. I felt relief after my first visit and my issues have continued to decrease with each follow-up visit. The office itself has a great vibe and is peaceful and calming. Robert is not only a highly-qualified, knowledgeable professional and a patient listener, but is also a very kind person. He is extremely thorough in his initial assessment and will carefully and thoughtfully develop an appropriate treatment plan for you. I have recommended Robert to family, friends, and co-workers. I think many could benefit from his service!

My experience with Acupuncture Associates has been everything I could wish for. Initially, I chose Acupuncture Associates because of the reviews I read on Google. I have discovered that every positive review of Dr. Robert Moffat, the caring staff, the aura of the office was not exaggerated. Each visit leaves me with a sense of "whole person" well-being - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
