The very best acupuncturist in Gainesville! She is not only an acupuncturist but a doctor of…read moreTraditional Chinese Medicine. I have been seeing her since 1997, almost every other week. What makes her stand out is how her treatments have an immediate relief! I have seen many acupuncturists for more than 30 yeas and none have her skills, expertise and kindness. Her bedside manner is unmatched. She is gentle, caring and compassionate and very knowledgeable. Never pushes you in receiving any treatments you don't want. She also pairs acupuncture with Infra Red Therapy and a trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit by delivering small electrical impulses through the needles; then employs cupping, a most relaxing and healing modality tat stimulates oxygenation and blood circulation. It never fails to take away any pain and inflammation. Additionally,she teaches Tai-Chi and QiGong free every Saturday at the Massey park by the tennis courts on NW 34th street. She takes insurance as well. She is truly a gem!

Chinese acupuncture is run by Min Li, the most caring and honest doctor I've ever seen. I've been…read moregoing to Min for about seven years. Having tried acupuncture before and failing to see its worth, when I first started seeing Min I was skeptical. After my first treatment I still wasn't sure acupuncture did anything, but I enjoyed the time I spent with Min - she was loving in a way most doctors aren't (or at least most doctors don't openly show care and concern on a first visit). She listened without judgement and never pushed a specific treatment but gave recommendations and discussed options that fit my lifestyle. After a few visits I started seeing real changes in my health and I've been seeing her ever since. I live two hours away from her office now, but I make the trip a few times a year or whenever I feel I need a treatment (or when I just miss her; she's become that close to me). Whether you've been getting acupuncture treatments for years or you are looking to try it for the first time, I highly recommend Min Li.

You're a life saver!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for relief in their life!!

I love, love, love Gainesville Holistic Healthcare! I had a fall back in October that resulted in…read moreseveral scars on my face. One was a dime-sized bump above my upper lip that was itchy, red, sensitive, and ugly. It was so painful that I couldn't even go over it with a washcloth and it stuck out so far that you could see it from the side. My other bad scar area was actually inside my bottom lip. This scar was tight and I didn't have any feeling at all in half of my bottom lip. I went to Gainesville Holistic Healthcare to check out microcurrent point stimulation (MPS). The staff there worked with me to find a routine that worked for me. I ended up going twice a week for 15 minutes each to manage all of my scars. By the end of the first month, the scar above my upper lip was flat, less red, and not painful at all anymore. The scar inside my bottom lip was pretty abnormal, but Traci worked with me to find the best protocol. By November, I finally started to get feeling back in my bottom lip, and the scars didn't feel nearly as tight. I seriously can't express how great this place is. The staff are all nice, welcoming, and extremely accommodating. Face injuries are so personal, and they were just as happy as I was every time I hit a new milestone in my healing. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else for my MPS treatments. By the way - their waiting room is awesome. It's full of paintings, jewelry, and candles by local artists, and most are for sale. They also have an awesome selection of natural remedies and CBD products. 10/10!!

I say this with complete sincerity as she changed my life and has made me feel so much better! I have dealt with stomach issues for many years and the most awful pain in my right shoulder blade. The morning after my acupuncture treatment, I awoke sore as if I had worked out or maybe even had outpatient surgery. It was minimal to the relief I received with my stomach pain and shoulder pain. The most amazing experience was the sudden change in my appetite. I am a new person. I'm now craving water, fresh fruits, and vegetables. I'm sleeping great and feeling amazing! My assistant has asked me what happened to the spaz that left to Gainesville? I highly recommend seeing Dr. Rizzo. Love from Salt Lake City

I prefer the community acupuncture style to the solo-session so much, now that I have experienced both. It is great to lay in there for as long as I want with no pressure to get up. Even though the time that one speaks to the practitioner is very short, both Jen and Theresa have always had the time to offer me many suggestions about things to do to improve my various complaints. They care a lot about people, and isn't it obvious by the fact that they opened an affordable acupuncture place? I wish massage could also be this way. I urge anyone dealing with an ongoing problem, tragedy, depression, addiction, stress, etc., to go visit GCA and give it a chance. Also, if you are already feeling pain and that is why you seek help, why are you so worried about how the tiny needles will feel? They don't hurt.
