I was referred by Dr. Adam Heck and Susan is by far the best acupuncturist I've ever seen. She has been immensely helpful with my chronic pain issues.

Susan is amazing! She has been treating my chronic allergies, migraine, and shoulders & back pain. I often experience the pains go away after the acupuncture therapy. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and very easy going. I can totally relax and fall in sleep. I highly recommend Susan to everybody.

I was recommended to see Susan by my practitioner, and the immediate change to my hormonal issues was amazing. I keep seeing her for anything I have going on - she is a wonderful listener and gleans information from your "stories" to apply to your treatment. I love her knowledge of Chinese medicine, plus her experience as an RN. And why didn't I know decades ago that you can have a little nap on a warm bed after the needles are in?! I always refer folks to Susan and Balance Acupuncture.

Having acupuncture from Susan has helped strengthen my immune system as well as relieve pain after surgery. She is a kind healer who listens to what you need to feel well again.

I am a local chiropractor and have sent many patients to Balance Acupuncture location in Woodenville. I believe acupuncture should be an integral part of the holistic healing process. Acupuncture can help treat everything from migraines to IBS. My patients speak very highly about the OUTSTANDING care and generally fast results they have witnessed with Anthony's treatments. Just stopped by the new location in Everett on Colby Avenue and spoke with Anthony about further care for patients in the Everett area. I highly recommend seeing 'Tony' for your next Holistic evaluation and acupuncture treatment!

The new location in Everett is very easy to find. Both Tony and Susan are excellent acupuncturists. I have been getting treated by them for my heart condition, being overweight, and back pain. Not all at the same time of course. I always feel better for an extended period. They are also excellent at treating any type of inflammation or water retention. Go to their website to make an appointment at their newlocation.
