so glad I found this clinic! they genuinely take an interest. The care I received are a huge difference in my life. thank you

I have numerous medical issues, including fibromyalgia, headaches, acid reflux, IBS, and arthritis. I have to admit, before coming to Complete Oriental Medical Care I was a mess and at my absolute wit's end. I was in immense pain every day, and all my doctors could do was provide prescription after prescription, none of which worked to alleviate my pain or assisted my body in any way shape, or form to help its healing process. I decided to take a different approach and sought the advice of Steven Sonmore. Steven is extremely knowledgeable with years of experience and dedication to the healing properties of acupuncture. He is truly gifted, listens attentively, explains his techniques, and has the ability to help your body in its capabilities to heal. Steven and I went over my medical and prescription records and he put together a wellness plan to improve the quality of my life through acupuncture, cupping, and the use of Chinese herbs. I have had numerous acupuncture and cupping sessions, as well as using the Chinese herbs, and I can say without a doubt that my mind and body have improved with each session. My symptoms have lessened drastically, and my headaches and the physical pain from fibromyalgia and arthritis have been drastically reduced. I can actually garden for short periods of time again, and go for a walk, which is something I haven't done for well over two years. I cannot say enough about Complete Oriental Medical Care and Steven, the services he provides is life-changing. I have recommended Steven to all of my family and friends, and we are now enjoying the benefits and a much better, and healthier means of assisting our bodies in the healing process. I cannot recommend Complete Oriental Medical Care and Steven enough. HIGHLY recommend! read more

I have been working with Steven Sonmore for over three years. He is one of the best in the world at what he does; and is able to help with just about any physical, mental, or emotional issue I have been dealing with over that time - from pain from a shoulder injury, sleep issues, general stress, etc. I have been recommending to friends, family, and colleagues dealing with whatever issues they are dealing with that they try a visit with Steven before heading into the traditional MD/pharmaceutical route. I would suggest the same for you; the amount of time and money you will spend will be returned many, many times over. Health is wealth, and Steven will help you to get as healthy as you can be! read more

Steven should not be allowed to practice acupuncture, in my opinion. After several visits to him for acupuncture, he ended up shoving a needle in my wrist and damaging the medial nerve. What resulted was THREE MONTHS of crippling pain in my right wrist. When I mentioned this to him just days after it happened, his response was "Well, you signed the safety waiver." He practices a very aggressive form of acupuncture and in his words the older, more reliable TCM acupuncture is "for barbie dolls". Aside from his careless method of practicing acupuncture, he is also extremely absent minded. I had to mention the same things over and over to him every visit because he could never remember them. His office also smells very bad, like mold or mildew. Absolutely horrible experience. read more

My elderly mother was diagnosed with advanced dementia back in 2015. The deterioration continued until by the end of 2018, she was losing motor control and in Jan 2019 had a bad fall and hit her head. She was almost fully unresponsive, in a high-backed wheelchair because she could not support her own head, on oxygen 24/7, had to be transferred between bed and wheelchair with an automated lift, could not feed herself, and had to be put on thickened liquids and pureed food because she was losing her ability to chew and swallow. Steven Sonmore started treating her in mid-March. After two sessions, to our surprise, she responded to simple questions with one- or two-word answers. Over the subsequent weeks, she was able to maintain short back-and-forths about a given topic. In May, my mother was taken off of daytime oxygen. Physical Therapy signed her out of their services because she was now so mobile that she could stand up and sit down on her own and walk 75 ft. with a walker. In June, Speech Therapy re-tested her, and she is now back on regular, thin liquids and ordinary soft foods. My mother now feeds herself and is able to transfer between bed, wheelchair, and even into a car. We are ethnic Chinese and have spent most of our lives in Greater China--Hong Kong, Taipei, and Beijing. We have seen numerous very good practitioners of Chinese medicine throughout Asia. I can say hands down that Steven Sonmore is the most effective doctor of acupuncture that we have ever encountered. Never have I witnessed as fast and stark an improvement as I have with the treatment of my mother's dementia. There is no question in my mind that it is Steven Sonmore's acupuncture which is the reason for my 95-year-old mother awaking from the debilitating fog of dementia and now being able to enjoy a significantly higher quality of life for her remaining years. read more

Steven Sonmore is an extraordinary healer. - I was in Minneapolis for a marathon and went to Complete Oriental Medical Care on the recommendation of a friend. I was experiencing some lower back pain and had tried physical therapy, chiropractor and other acupuncturists and the effects were only temporarily. Steven is the best acupuncturist I have ever been to. I could even feel the difference and improvement after a couple of treatments. Upon returning home, he conferenced with my local acupuncturist for ongoing treatment protocols. I can finally run pain free! He is extremely knowledgeable of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Not only has my lower back pain subsided, my breathing is much better and I sleep more soundly at night. I visit his clinic whenever I'm in the Twin Cities area and still consult with him by phone on a monthly basis. I highly recommend Steven Sonmore. read more

I've been going to Steven for several years. He always does a great job helping me with my insomnia. I've been to many acupuncturists and Steven is definitely the most skilled at placing the needles without pain. I highly recommend him. I don't know what the last reviewer is talking about because I have never smelled mold or mildew in his office. read more

I have been a patient of Steven Sonmore for 9 years. His treatments have helped me with my elevated blood levels for liver problems, back pain, shoulder pain, migraine headaches and even a droopy eye lid. Also, acupuncture has been an added benefit for calmness in my piece of mind to deal with tension and anxiety. He is thorough, gentle and compassionate. The office environment is aesthetically pleasing and clean. read more

This is a top notch, well-managed acupuncture and TCM office that has been in business for many years. Steven is immensely talented with his delivery of both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. I have noted that he is an absolute perfectionist at his craft and I appreciate his dedication to delivering the best quality treatment possible. His approach is unique, aggressive, and highly effective. I have been to a number of acupuncturists over the years and none have helped me to heal the way Steven has. He has been an integral part of my recovery from a multitude of symptoms that includes: insomnia, chronic fatigue, widespread body pain and migraines related to fibromyalgia, female hormone imbalance, digestive issues, and anxiety. I highly recommend Steven to those who are receiving conventional Western care and are seeking to supplement and/or further improve their health regimen, and I ESPECIALLY recommend him to anyone frustrated with the limitations and lack of results from traditional health care (particularly for those like me that have "mystery illnesses" with complicated symptoms that Western medicine is unable to diagnose and/or adequately treat). read more

I went to Steven for a few different health concerns and was very pleased with his work with TCM (tradition Chinese Medicine) and acupuncture. Steven was very knowledgeable with all the concerns I had and I also learned a lot from him about TCM in general (added bonus!). There are a lot of acupuncturists' out there but very few understand the differences and have effective treatments. Every time I had a treatment I left feeling so relaxed and happy due to the relief of pain. I would suggest Steven to anyone looking for help with a physical ailment, emotional, etc. read more

I was highly satisfied with the results of my acupuncture treatments at this clinic. I've had neck and upper back pain for many years and have tried other clinics. After several treatments it was very apparent that it was working. I highly recommend this clinic. Thank you. read more

I started seeing Steven Sonmore for upper back pain that had been disturbing my sleep and causing major irritation as I sat at work. After 13 sessions so far, my upper back pain is completely gone, my energy has increased, I am sleeping better, and I am able to focus better. I highly recommend Complete Oriental Medical Care for anyone looking for effective treatment and a relaxed environment. read more

Steven Sonmore of Complete Oriental Medical Care is the cream-of-the-crop Acupuncture doc! (I call him The King) :-) I have had many throughout the years, but this man is the REAL DEAL! I had a muscle spasm in my back that would not let up, and I had it for over a year. After ONE appointment with Steven, IT WAS GONE! It never came back, either. He healed my pain, my anxiety, and my mind. I cannot say enough good things about him; truly! I think acupuncture should be made available to everyone. I will continue to recommend Steven; he is a gift! Thank you, Steven Sonmore!! read more

I've been seeing Steven at Complete Oriental Medicine for about 2 months now for chronic migraine headaches, chronic neck tension and dysmenorrhea. The acupuncture treatments, herbs and nutritional supplements have completely eradicated my pain. For the last 15 years, I have had over 15 migraines a month. I had tried everything to improve them, including seeing a neurologist (and taking many prescription medications), biofeedback, physical therapy, elimination diets, and so on. I've even tried acupuncture and herbs at another location, which didn't help at all. Not only is my pain gone, but I have increased energy and clarity. I highly recommend Complete Oriental Medicine. read more

I've been using Steve's services for more than 5 years. He has helped me work through many health problems. I have seen other Acupuncturists and Steve clearly is the most experienced and proficient. read more
