The acupuncture and cupping I received here in combination with chiropractic adjustments have made it possible for me to resume my day to day life. I never would've thought that needles would be the gateway to such extreme relaxation and stress relief. I've recommended this place to anyone who will listen and will continue to do so.

I scheduled an appointment with Eastern Roots Wellness after confirming that they accepted…read moreinsurance, including my United Healthcare plan which covers acupuncture. I booked the visit a couple of weeks in advance, completed all required forms, and provided my insurance information. They also required full payment upfront, explaining it would be adjusted later to account for any copays or insurance coverage. When I arrived for the appointment, the receptionist immediately informed me that Eastern Roots was not in-network with United Healthcare and that I could instead submit an out-of-network claim. That was not an acceptable option, as out-of-network costs are significantly higher. It was clear the practice knew this in advance but failed to notify me until after I had driven over an hour to get there. When I requested a refund--since I was unwilling to proceed with a provider that misrepresented their insurance status--they refused, citing their 24-hour cancellation policy. However, I hadn't canceled the appointment; I arrived in good faith, expecting coverage. Only once I learned the true facts, which the clinic already knew, did I decline to continue. To make matters worse, the owner, Sarah Alemi, did not speak with me directly and instead sent an email referencing the cancellation policy. At this point, I have disputed the charge with my credit card company. I would strongly caution others to verify network participation and transparency before booking with this practice

Quality, quality, quality…read more Frank is the most thoughtful, intelligent, and qualified acupuncturist I have found in the DC area. I've seen several other individuals for massage, acupuncture, and dry needling. But I have always gone back to Frank because he is the best. I've been seeing Frank for over four years now. Specifically, Frank has played a key role in my healing process for my shoulder and back injuries and numbness in my arms. We focus a good deal on dry needling on my neck, shoulder, and back. I find that he is the most careful and smart with dry needling. I have been to physical therapists and chiropractors who try to dry needle, and it's scary how ill equipped they were. Go see Frank. Whether you're an athlete or a stressed out profession (or like me...both!), you will walk away better in mind and body after seeing Frank.

He also sold me an herbal remedy that can be used as a tea, which is great (though I still rely on my OTC meds when the pollen count gets really high). I've gone to four different acupuncture practitioners and Frank is the best. Within minutes of getting the needles I fall into a deep relaxing sleep.I usually get the Tui Na service, so the massage feels like an extra bonus. It always surprises me that the whole treatment is only an hour. It feels like longer. For those who had trouble reaching him on the phone, I would recommend email. He has more than one office and no assistant. I haven't tried calling him, but he's always been very responsive to email, sending a reply either the same day or next day.

In Soon Cho is a skillful clinician who knows exactly what she is doing. She listens carefully and addresses whatever is painful in any given week. I am now at a point where I don't need to go every week, and I have eliminated one of the medications I have been on for months as a result of the improvement in my physical health. I will continue to see Dr. Cho on a regular basis into the future.

The location is aromatic and clean. The receptionist is friendly and inviting. The massage therapist, Sunny, was amazing!!

I came in to treat stress, along with back/neck problems. She was patient and took the time to listen to my needs and concerns and knew exactly how she could help. The acupuncture itself was painless! It was my first time receiving this treatment and Khanita was helpful in explaining the entire process (it made me feel super intrigued! She has diagrams on the wall, which showed me a lot about her knowledge in acupuncture). Cupping was uncomfortable at first, but Khanita made adjustments to ensure I was comfortable. The few chiropractic exercises at the end of my session was the cherry on top and helped ease a lot of the tension I felt in my upper back. I can't wait to visit Araya Acupuncture again.
