I generally don't write reviews here, but I have been so impressed with Traci's professionalism,…read moregrace, and kindness, and the effectiveness of her treatment, that I just had to say something. So why am I not surprised by the unanimity I find among these other reviews? If you are considering acupuncture or zone therapy as a modality to address your needs, or even if you are just in search of healing, somehow, some way, you should make an appointment with Traci and you'll find the answer to that question. Please read what John S. has to say for a catalog of specifics, but what I'll add is that Traci is laser-focused on treating the whole person. That may sound like a contradiction, but Traci consistently goes beyond dealing with specific, narrow conditions (I came to her with post-chemo neuropathy in my hands and feet which we have effectively erased) and insures that every aspect of your health moves in the direction of well-being. I have never felt as healthy, overall, as I do now after seeing Traci for the last seven months. Beyond her treatment and therapy, my experience has been that all the things you read here about Traci being calm, caring, empathetic and uplifting are absolutely true, and have compounded the value of my experience. Finally, I can't resist saying that her location (in the way-cool Mechanics' Institute) is an island of calm . . . a place you feel healing begin just being there. Thank you, Traci!

Dr. Adam is incredible! I can't recommend him highly enough! I wish I could visit him regularly,…read morebut I don't live in Northern California. I found him on my insurance provider list, as I was prepping for my trip to San Francisco for my first ever Alcatraz Sharkfest Swim! I was really excited about the race and had trained for months, incorporating regular treatments from my local acupuncturist in West LA, when three weeks before the swim I got hit with Covid. It was a rough nine days before I was finally negative, and even then the symptoms stubbornly persisted. I felt weaker and my head was foggy--I worried I wouldn't have the energy, strength, and stamina to compete. Still, I didn't want to give up--it meant a lot to me to finish this race. I knew my best bet would be to get one last treatment the day before the race. Fortunately, Dr. Adam had availability at the ideal time & place for me! His treatment was thorough and effective, incorporating cupping, acupuncture, acupressure, and a little massage. I felt so much better afterwards and felt fantastic for the big swim the next day, which I not only completed successfully, but thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks to Dr. Adam, I completed my bucket list dream swim! Now I look forward to participating every year--and will definitely be getting a treatment from Dr. Adam to be in prime shape for it!

I cannot recommend Nancy and her acupuncture clinic enough! I came in with painful, stuffy sinuses,…read morea headache at the front of my head, and neck discomfort. Nancy's knowledge and expertise were evident from the start. She placed needles in my legs and feet, which at first confused me--I didn't understand how that could help my sinuses--but I felt the effects immediately. I could breathe so much better! She also placed needles in my head, which alleviated about 60% of the pressure right away. By the next day, the improvement was up to 80%, and now, three days later, I have zero headache and no sinus issues at all. I am beyond grateful to Nancy for her care and skill. Although my insurance doesn't cover acupuncture, the rates are incredibly reasonable--comparable to what you'd pay for a massage at any spa. Plus, they were able to fit me in for a same-day appointment when I really needed relief. I will absolutely be returning to Nancy for other ailments. If you're considering acupuncture, this is the place to go!

Highly recommend Traci Kanzawa…read more I've been seeing Traci regularly for almost a year. I was injured at work due to repetitive injuries and decided to give acupuncture a try. I got to the point where it hurt to hold a fork. It literally hurt to feed myself and it was impossible to do any tasks. Previously, I had months of physical therapy and even after doing muscle strengthening exercises (religiously!), not much had changed. I happened to chose Traci out of a limited worker's comp list and I am SO grateful for it. She is truly an amazing human being with so much knowledge. Traci is someone who is passionate about what she does and she actually CARES about her patients. I continue to see her even after my comp case closed for maintenance. I always come out so relaxed after she does a mixture of needles and cupping. And honestly, the cupping just feels so damn good! Come with an open mind, invest in yourself and get healed.

I've dealt with chronic back pain for the past ~20 years and this was my first experience with acupuncture. To be honest, I was skeptical...it's not that I didn't believe that acupuncture could help people, it's more that I didn't quite believe that acupuncture would help ME when nothing else I've tried has consistently helped. I was wrong. Within 4 treatments, I was virtually pain free. I still had/have problem areas that we're working on, but I went from skeptical to believing that a long-term pain-free existence could be in my future. My only regret is not finding Dr. Schwerte and trying acupuncture years ago. If you have chronic pain, I cannot recommend him highly enough!
