The acupuncture is good. The issue is billing. I used insurance that required a copay and I paid what I knew would be the copay in person at my visits. Months later, I was charged for the copay again and had to pay it or it would be reported on my credit. It is disappointing. I will not be back.

I suffer with PTSD and never realized acupuncture could help. Was referred and in combination with my other treatments, it has made a world of difference to my life. I feel like I am finally able to truly be present with myself. John is supportive and provides care without judgment and is a very healing and therapeutic presence.

The whole staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I go there for my regular massage, and occasional acupuncture and chiropractor work. They are all terrific! The massage therapist, Melissa Peterson, is amazing. She really knows her stuff. When I had a painful sciatic nerve problem, she worked on it, and it was nothing short of a miracle. She has a magic touch.
