I was lucky to find James I just wish I knew about him sooner. I was struggling with a pain in my…read moreright arm for two months and nothing was helping. I almost lost my grip and thought I could not go back to normal any more. It was just getting worse every day. Finally I started looking for acupuncture practices . In spite of very little reviews here I gave it a go. OMG I wish more practitioners would be like James and more people would leave their honest reviews here. First, he is so knowledgeable and did very precise first exam and knew exactly what muscles to treat and why they were hurt. Second he combined his 37 years of practice in 2 hours of my session used not only needles but other equipment and the pain was gone immediately after a session. In 2 days my hand was functioning like before and in 4 days after I almost forgot I had a pain. If you have any injuries or muscle problems James is your guy. I am even planning to come to him all the way from LA if I ever need it again. This is how good he is. Third I was trying to schedule a second session right away ( just in case I needed it) he didn't upsell me :) . Just didn't want to do it until I really knew I needed it . What a guy! He is really THE BEST MASTER at his practice that I personally have been to. Thank you

What went well? Everything! And then some. I went in for back spasms-from coughing so deeply-take…read moreyour cough suppressants if you ever have a deep lung infection. The most painful thing I've endured in my 70+ years. Askat was my ideal-he explained the techniques, the science or mystery behind the art, which I really appreciated. Great "bedside" manner, a very wry wit, a very comfortable table and space, and mostly importantly, EFFECTIVE. I have used Accupuncture for a long time, mostly as a prophylaxis, and Askat used several methods that transformed me from a mess to a functional being. And then I was beset with an GI issue that arose in the meantime. He treated me for it while dealing with the back issue. I went to ER at the urging of too many people the same day. Their tests revealed I was quite healthy but they could not explain my issue. The day after his treatment and my ER visit, I got up without any issues and have remained that way. I couldn't explain why I was "cured" as ER gave me nothing. When I returned for another back treatment and then recalled his treating my GI. Epiphany! I would call him a god, but as a devout atheist (thank god!), that would be wrong. And he would be the last one to claim that mantle. Do yourself a favor and visit Desert Wellness. Askat has your back-and the rest of your body.

I have a number of friends that visit Askat and I am so glad they referred me to him. I am new in…read morethe area and I'm already feeling better after four visits! He listened to me and answered all my questions, cleared up the treatment options with me and has really helped to ease my pain. I see him twice a week and then suggested everyone else does as well! Your body and mind will thank you for it!

My first time doing acupuncture! Dr. Dharam Singh is amazing! Wish I would have listened to my…read morefriend Iacopo sooner when he recommended him! New to Joshua Tree! His main practice is in Los Angeles. So happy to have his healing touch in Joshua Tree. Always been scared to try acupuncture! Using it for insomnia, ptsd, anxiety from loss. First session was life changing. He is gentle & gives great tools to help you grow & cope with life's struggles. Good luck with your new practice in Joshua Tree! Welcome! We're lucky to have you! Dr. Singh's energy is calming & reassuring. Feeling optimistic that his practice is going to help my overall health & well being. Love that he is able to consult on diet as well!! So important!

My husband and I have been attending Tai Chi and Medical Qi Gong class with Dr. Dharam Singh for…read moreover a month now and we are loving it. Wednesdays at 1:30 we gather at Pan Pacific Park to get our Qi on. So far we have gone over Yang Style 24 Form, and we also started learning some Ba Gua, as well as doing a lot of qi building foundational exercises. He gives us homework too so we have things to work on at home to keep building the qi. It's so nice to take advantage of living in LA by actually getting outside in the nice weather once a week, I highly recommend it. We also have videos that we can watch at home to help with the practice, which is good because I don't have the best memory. If you become a student, Dr. Singh may let you see his very impressive Tai Chi video in which he performs difficult feats with the strength of his qi. They are of the "Do not try this at home" variety, and definitely make you realize the power of internal cultivation. I am an acupuncturist also, and as a healer I appreciate the opportunity to delve further in to the energetics of Chinese Medicine with an expert guide.

I was struggling with back pain, PCOS, and infertility as well as a number of other things. She helped change my diet and gave me the tools to get my body back in order. After just a few visits I was able to conceive!!! She's the best.

I had a torn rotator cuff in my left shoulder, and it was very painful. I researched the internet…read morefor a qualified acupuncturist and found June. In addition to the shoulder problem, I was having severe digestive issues (GERD) and some liver problems. The first time I went to her office in Palm Desert I could hardly walk up the short two flights of stairs to get to her clinic. Not I can walk up and down in a bris and normal fashion. June immediately went to work on my issues and the shoulder tear is healed without surgery, my digestive problems are almost completely healed, and my liver is well on its way to recovery. June is not only skilled at acupuncture but is also very knowledgeable and experienced at ancient Chinese forms of medicine and healing. I am not a true believer in miracles' but what she accomplished for me is nothing short of a miracle. I have recommended several friends to her and they all speak very highly of her skills. I would recommend that anyone looking for an alternative form of healing (as opposed to drugs with devastating side effects) seek her out. You will not be disappointed.
