I saw Allie 3 times where she was kind and asked specific questions to help her give the best results. She took good care however it was not improving and I decided to book an appointment with the chiropractor Molly Hall. I booked in person for an appointment weeks away and added the time to my calendar on the spot. I received multiple emails. Some were reminders for the appointment and others were alerting me to fill out paperwork before the appointment. In the barrage of emails I only opened the one for paperwork because I knew I had the time booked on my calendar already. Around 12 noon on the day of the appointment, I finally finished my paperwork which notified of the cancellation fee. I wasn't worried because I booked in person and added it to my calendar. I got there 10 minutes early for my 3 pm appointment and was told that my appointment had been at 10am. Also, I had already been charged the $190 cancellation fee. I explained everything and Bridget, the receptionist , was sympathetic. She said she would talk to Dr Hall and see what we could work out. I called a couple days later to see how to move forward. Bridget explained that Dr Hall said I was sent a reminder email and missed the appointment. She continued with Dr Hall's response that she was in high demand and needed to get paid. I truly don't know how the mix up happened. It's possible the person I booked the appointment with inputted it wrong. I cannot comment specifically on Dr Hall's abilities as a chiropractor as I never got to meet her. However I believe I can speak toward her character as a human. She refused to acknowledge that there could be any fault on the part of the practice, she could not bend at all to nurture a relationship with a new patient that could need indefinite ongoing care and, very clearly, she needed to get paid. I personally won't be moving forward with any type of care from this practice.

I do believe that acupuncture can be a very powerful practice when performed well. Unfortunately…read moreafter about 10 visits with Jinmei Xu, I have some serious doubts about the efficacy of her "treatments" and disagree with some dishonorable billing practices. Overall the results of Jinmei's acupuncture treatments were mixed, making it difficult to conclude whether the treatments were helpful or harmful. Jinmei was quick to attribute any positive progress to acupuncture and discount any negative side effects as unrelated to acupuncture. For example, when a wound healed over the course of weeks, she said it was acupuncture. Conversely, she once put a needle in my right elbow and, for the next 2 weeks, I experienced a sharp, intense pain that felt like it was radiating out along the vein in my elbow. When asked about it, she didn't look at it or attempt to treat it; instead, she dismissed it as not being related to acupuncture and that I must have unknowingly bumped it in that exact spot. On two occasions, she treated me for sleep and both times I experienced noticeably worse sleep following the session than I did the night prior. She also attributed bleeding from the needles to successful activation of chi - the more bleeding, the stronger the activation. My husband went through the trouble to get Jinmei approved as an in-network provider with our insurance company, and I wanted to try to submit a claim through my insurance for these acupuncture treatments. Jinmei said, that if I wanted to do that, they needed to charge me double for visits ($150, instead of the regular $80 per visit). When I asked why, she said it was because it would require her to send me an invoice via email that contained the insurance code. So essentially I needed to pay her $70 extra per visit to get an invoice, and then I would need to do all of the work to coordinate with insurance to try to get reimbursed. Ultimately, the decision was clear to discontinue treatments at Raleigh Acupuncture Associates -- for us, it wasn't worth the time and cost of continuing acupuncture treatments, particularly when the results were, at best, mixed.

Why you're here: If you are reading this, it means that you…read moreare, at least slightly, interested in the idea of trying acupuncture. Or you have experience acupuncture before and are looking for an Acupuncturist. For which ever reason, I highly doubt you will be making any mistakes by choosing Chris at Aspire Acupuncture, it may even be one of the best decisions you've made in a while. The Acupuncturist: Chris is a pretty fun, down to earth kind of guy. He has a very honest, caring and friendly vibe, and he's very patient, supportive and encouraging. He really cares to see people succeed and sits down for a follow up/ catch up chat before acupuncture to see how you as as person are doing. What triumphs and downfalls you've had since you last saw him. Also, he only sees one patient at a time, you are always his main focus during your appointment. Bonus, he has online scheduling! Catch him on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest, he shares a lot of very interesting articles. Health doesn't seem just to be his job, it seems to be his life. Why I started: It was one of the best decisions I've made in a while. I was ready to quit smoking again. I've tired gum, patch, cold turkey, even both Chantix and Wellbutrin. After the third time quitting with Wellbutrin, it really started to take a toll. I didn't know what else I could do and what would be successful. I found out about Aspire Acupuncture from Dr. Penry, they're in the same office. I decided to make both appointments on the same day. My Success: I was smoking 10-12 cigarettes a day during the weekday, it was just madness on the weekend, when I started acupuncture. It only took me two visit and one week to completely walk away from smoking. I dropped down to three cigarettes a day, then one and I was done. I have never felt this solid about quitting before. I don't even flinch when I see someone smoking. Now, everyone is different, it may take someone more or less visits, but you won't know until you try. I sincerely hope you are able to lead a better, happier and healthier life. -Jenn P.s. Yelp, please stop filtering my review, Thank you!
