I was in town for a couple of weeks and needed to continue my acupuncture treatments while I was…read morethere. This place was highly recommended, so I booked a session. I am not new to acupuncture by any stretch, but in the intake interview Amy asked me some very personal questions that did not relate to anything about my treatment needs, but I tried to go with the flow. She recommended some books and we had a very good conversation, but then the needles started to go in. Amy puts the needles in VERY deep, which I have learned through the years is simply not necessary 90% of the time. At one point, she put a needle in my upper left shin (lateral aspect). It was immediately on fire but I tried to breathe through it. Next up, the needles went in my ears. She put one into my left ear and I started shouting, "Ow! Ow!" She almost seemed to enjoy this because she just twisted the needle in as I shouted. By the end of the session, the lower half of my left leg was completely numb, my ear was throbbing, and I was trying to focus on staying calm. I did reschedule another appt at first, but cancelled it a few days later because my lower left leg and ear were STILL bothering me and because I just didn't want to endure another session. She has a lot of knowledge but uses a very old, American-style of acupuncture that I realize is the cause of so many people being turned off by this ancient practice. I ended up getting two appointments at another clinic and had a much, much better experience.

You'd think they'd have a little understanding if they really cared about their patients' wellbeing (vs. just $$$). They also charge an extra $15 fee for ordering supplements in addition to their markup (and shipping). This is a pricy place, and they care more about money than people. Very disappointing.

I had never received treatment using alternative medicine before but I decided to keep an open mind and an open heart. At the time when I had started treatment I was on a very strong anti-psychotic. It was such a relief to find a clinic where I felt completely heard and understood. After a few weeks of relief from the treatment I finally had the courage to let my psych know that I no longer wanted to be on the meds. It has been going well for me since then. I've read a few books on Traditional Chinese medicine and it has been a great learning experience. Bring shorts to change into. Make enough time in your day to dedicate the time to heal.

One example stands out. In 2012-13, I began to experience intermittent, debilitating pain in my left knee. I went to an orthopedic specialist, was diagnosed with a mono-arthritis, prescribed pain meds and cortisone, and told I would likely have to have a knee replacement in 10 years. But Claudette took a different approach. She started me on a treatment regimen of acupuncture and Chinese herbs in combination with dietary changes that resolved the problem within 6 months. I no longer have pain and am nowhere near getting a knee replaced. Claudette is not anti-western medicine. But under her care, I find I rely on it less while feeling better than ever. Plus, she is such a delightful, positive person to work with! I thoroughly recommend Claudette Baker's Healing Center.
