I first started seeing Dr. Barrett in 2022 for acupuncture to help with my tinnitus. After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement and was very grateful for the results. About four years later, my tinnitus started acting up again, and Dr. Barrett was the first person I thought of. I knew I wanted to go back to someone I already trusted and had such a positive experience with. Dr. Barrett is kind, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely takes the time to listen. One of the things I appreciate most is our conversations during my visits. I always enjoy talking with him, and honestly, the conversations themselves feel therapeutic. He creates such a comfortable and calming environment where you feel heard and cared for as a whole person, not just treated for a symptom. I'm so grateful to be back under his care. My experience with Dr. Barrett and acupuncture has been extremely positive, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering acupuncture, especially those dealing with tinnitus. Thank you, Dr. Barrett, for your kindness, care, and for always making my visits something I look forward to. read more

Friendly acupuncturist but I specifically came for ear ringing and received a long lecture and a book to read also. He says it's caused by stress and the body in survival mode. After one session the ear ringing had no change. I did feel relaxed slightly after though but short lived. I came specifically for ear ringing and this technique did nothing. I would not recommend and also no way to park. Oh yes after reading his comments I remember he also sells you a bunch of bottled supplements which you can buy online for less and the manufacturing is from china which do not follow health guidelines. I'm dropping my star after remembering this. Stay away from this snake oil seller. read more

I came to Dr. John after struggling with intense ear pain that lasted several months. At its worst, the pain was so distracting I couldn't focus on work or enjoy things that once brought me joy. Even small stressors or inconveniences would make it flare up--I felt constantly irritated, drained, and helpless. After several sessions with Dr. John, the pain has almost completely disappeared. Dr. John isn't just treating symptoms--he's a true healer who approaches the body and mind as a whole system. He takes the time to listen, observe, and tailor each treatment with deep care and insight. His holistic approach made a profound difference.  I'm so grateful to have found him. If you're dealing with chronic pain, stress, or something you just can't seem to figure out--go see Dr. John. read more

Now i feel like back to normal life with his techniques (qi gong) practices is fantastic absolutely help full for nerve relaxation and also his acupunctureing treatment is amazingly helpful.. Definitely I'm recommend him for the one who's suffering from tinnitus. read more

After seeing my GP, a top LA Rheumatologist, and a top LA hand specialist for persistent pain in my wrists and hands to no avail, I finally gave acupuncture with Dr. Barrett a try. This was my first experience with acupuncture, but my other conventional physicians suggested I might give it a shot. Wow. Glad I did. The headline here is that , after two treatments, for the first time in two years I have no more aching in my hands. It was so bad that it was really painful to even remove my shoes. Dr. Barrett is a gem of a person. He is caring, patient, skilled, and dare I say, funny. Just a joy to work with. Did my insurance cover the treatments? Nope. Do I care? Nope. It was so worth it. read more

All I can say is that this doctor is an amazing human being and cares deeply for his patients and helped me overcome a severe case of tinnitus back in 2015. His diet recommendations as well as his treatments are on point. More recently I had other issues and once again Dr. Barrett was able to help me. I felt it was time to write this review. Thank you Dr. Barrett. read more

John Barrett - Inspired by this great amazing Doctor ! - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I developed tinnitus November 2022 and my life turned upside down. I was in a tremendous amount of distress, couldn't sleep and very anxious. My dear cousin was concerned and did some research in eastern medicine and the treatment of tinnitus, and found Dr Barrett. I saw him March of 2023. My distress was high (he'll score your tinnitus distress out of 100). Mine was in the 90s on the first visit. I am happy to state it is a 1/100 today. After 4 treatments I got better and better. I can live a normal life now. He is very knowledgeable about tinnitus and has a lot of experience treating it. Highly recommend for anyone who has not tried acupuncture/Chinese medicine for it. Thank you Dr Barrett! read more

After going through so many different options after my car accident I was referred to Dr. Barrett I quickly realized that Dr.Barrett is beyond words amazing. He was pretty much my last resort for any results for my nerve issues in my hands and arms from this car accident. I had never done acupuncture before and I was actually very skeptical, but gave it a try anyways. Dr. Barrett truly listens to you and makes you feel like he understand every ounce of pain you are going through. He is a great storyteller and makes you as comfortable as he possibly can. He always made my day better when I was there simply by sharing his energy. His acupuncture helped me so much , I will always be grateful to him. He is a great choice for healing. Also, if you are skeptical about acupuncture, try it with Dr.Barrett, you won't be disappointed . read more

Dr. John Barrett is a treasure. As a highly skilled acupuncturist with extensive experience and deep knowledge of holistic healing modalities, he possesses a combination of technical expertise and compassionate care. He is a generous listener, intuitive and empathetic and his clinic is welcoming and tranquil. Because of him, I have finally found help for tinnitus after consulting with multiple E N T specialists for almost two years, to no avail. At my first intake appointment, Dr. Barrett thoroughly assessed my symptoms and provided a comprehensive overview of valuable health and wellness resources, including his book "Caveman Bodies in a Corporate Jungle: How to Stay Healthy While Excelling in a Work Environment." After just three visits with him, the volume and frequency of my tinnitus reduced significantly and continues to remain in the background. Much of the time I am not aware of it. Dr. Barrett's transformative approach to healing has helped me so much and I highly recommend him to anyone who is struggling with tinnitus or other health concerns. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Barrett since 2004. I have gone to him for pain management from sports injury. Three years ago, my husband and I were not having any luck getting pregnant. I had just turned 38 and I was getting concerned if we would need to do IVF. Dr. Barrett recommended I do fertility acupuncture to help us. He was very thorough in his assessment and diagnosis on why I was not getting pregnant. I had irregular menstrual cycle that my OB-GYN could not fix which affected my ovulation period. Through acupuncture and Chinese herbs, my cycle became regulated within 3 months of fertility acupuncture. I started the treatments in September of 2016 and I was pregnant by January 2017. My son is now 28 months. I highly recommend Dr. Barrett for pain management and if you have not had any luck getting pregnant. read more

John Barrett - Beautiful view from one of the treatment rooms in Dr. Barrett's office. - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been a patient of Dr. Barrett's for 10 years now. He has been the only doctor to get rid of stubborn neck and shoulder pain that was affecting my daily life. He also recommended herbs and Qi Gong, which were a huge help. Dr. Barrett has a knack for finding the source of that deep muscle pain and manages to keep it from returning. He is truly a master at what he does! read more

Dr. Barrett has been helping me since 2021 for a variety of issues, all of which he has helped to fix with TCM herbs and acupuncture. He is a very compassionate person who listens and always tries to help. I always leave his sessions feeling better and lighter. His office is definitely more traditionally "western" but he is a deeply spiritual, open, and giving person with lots of good information on how to stay healthy in an increasingly toxic world. Can't recommend him enough! read more

The first treatment with Dr Bennett I had positive unexpected results. He is professional, well educated and experienced. He was thorough, detailed and he has the patience to explain his thoughts and his treatment plan. Part of his initial consultation included his own book that is very helpful in understanding his point of view and goals about meeting the needs of his patients. Whether you have had acupuncture before or you're new to Chinese medicine, I recommend Dr Bennett. read more

I had severe TMJ pain. I couldn't eat or talk and botox did not help. I was afraid it was turning chronic and maybe there was bone damage. After one treatment the pain and discomfort and locked jaw all went away. Have recommended to friends and family who also experience TMJ pain. read more

Dr. John Barrett is amazing. I'm a scientist w/ a PhD and although Im a strong believer in physical therapy.. I have been skeptical of acupuncture in the past.. however- I am now 100% a believer that it can aid in good health. I came to Dr. Barrett out of desperation since I had a crazy hive-like rash on my face and neck that started last May 2017 and then flared up and increased in severity in Fall 2018- Winter 2019. In addition to being itchy and hot, it also decreased my confidence (since it was my face!). I had seen many western doctors, including dermatologists, allergists, and general practitioners. I tried allergy medicines,.. I was tested for many food allergies.. and although I have many allergies to pollens/cats/dogs/etc- my food allergens came up negative. So once I exhausted my western resources.. I turned to Dr. Barrett for help... and indeed it helped! He convinced me that part of my reactions were because I was under severe stress.. and by decreasing my stress levels- my body would be able to react to allergens in a more normal way (yes I would choose itchy eyes or a gentle sneeze every now and then over an intensely red and rash-infested face) Anyhow- Dr. Barrett talked to me about changing my diet (aka not fasting in the mornings... but instead trying to not eat late at night.. which I still need to be better at).. and eating more cooling foods (Yin) since I was very Yang oriented.. I needed to be more balanced. Although I exercise everyday, he suggested that I also incorporate meditation and/or Qi Gong which I have been now doing for the past couple months. He did cupping, needling and prescribed cooling herbs as well as other herbs to help w/ the allergies. 6 months later I am no longer seeing him (due to the fact I got a bit better and a lack of time- his office is 1 hour away from me.. and I am super busy)- but I have been now following all his advice and have drastically improved. My only flare-ups occur when I drink coffee (increases my cortisol levels - aka stress).. so I now alas have to stick to green tea. I also found out from Western doctors via a skin-patch test lately that I have a gold allergy- crazy! and an allergy to a couple chemicals in face products/shampoos/etc. So I have now stopped using those products/metals and hope I can re-introduce coffee to my diet one day.. lol. Regardless- by decreasing your stress levels and increasing your circulation and lymphatic drainage (via acupuncture techniques and cupping)- Dr. John Barrett can help you decrease your allergy symptoms. Trust Me! Thank you Dr. John Barrett! read more

I am a retired Chief of Police and former Captain with the LASD. I retired after 40 years of experience. Like many retired law enforcement and first responders I developed ringing and a pulsating sound in my right ear. Anyone who has this condition knows how disruptive to your life this condition can be. My specialist told me I have a condition called "Tinitus." They told me there was no cure. Thankfully I was able to find Dr. John Barrett who has been treating me with Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. After just a few weeks of treatment , the heartbeat and pulsating sound in my right ear is gone and the ringing is getting less with each treatment. In addition to reducing my Tinnitus and giving me hope it will one day disappear, Dr Barrett is one of the most caring and compassionate Dr's I've ever had the pleasure to know. He is funny, witty, patient, and a great sense of humor. I know their our thousands of people like me out there with this horrible condition who now have hope and should have a consultation with Dr. Barrett. I feel blessed to have him in my life. read more

Awesome results from. Dr Barret treatments. His staff is very nice, he takes a holistic approach and gives you specific tips to change your daily diet and routine. He also has a good book to guide you to managing stress and getting to your inner core for healing. If you are skeptical about accupunture and Eastern medicine, you would change your mind after doing a treatment with Dr Barrett read more

Started my acupuncture treatment to improve my gait. Due to MS l would drag my right foot. After just a few visits to Dr. Barrett my walk has greatly improved. read more

Dr Barrett is amazing. I was in an accident four months ago and had 7 bulging discs and muscle spasms. I had constant pain and had tried multiple different types of therapy. After my first visit I felt immediately better than before. And with my returning visits my condition has improved dramatically. Dr Barrett is great at explaining how the body works and how his treatment is helping and he gave me many practices to assist with my recovery. I cannot emphasize enough how great he is. I recommend him to all of my friends and family. The treatment has done wonders for my quality of life. read more

I am eternally grateful for my former co-worker Lisa. Not only for her solid friendship but for her never disappointing doctor referrals. You see Lisa had a doctor referral and matching phone number for just about everything and then one day she gave me a referral for something I never even asked for. Oddly enough, this turned out to be the referral I needed the most. One afternoon Lisa came rushing over to my desk preaching about the wonders of a healer she had just encountered. "Healer?" I thought to myself as she told me about a certain Dr. John Barrett. She told me how he healed her excruciating foot pain, how he was so bright and charming and how she was convinced everyone in our law firm could benefit from a visit with him. Shortly thereafter i decided to schedule an appointment with Dr.Barrett. My problem was I didn't necessarily have a particular problem, ailment or pain. Something told me I just had to experience the wonders of this supposed healer. Lunch time visit # 1= WOW!!!! Not only did I leave completely relaxed, I left completely energized... Despite my belief that I didn't "need" treatment, I soon realized my entire system was off balance. My hands and feet were always cold - I chalked that up to being slender and poor circulation. My digestion sucks - I figured that's just the way I am wired, I'd been like that all my life. No one treatment or person can really help me. After just one visit and some pretty thorough questions from Dr. Barrett, I realized not only was I wrong about all of the above and that there was a way to rid myself of all these problems. Today my circulation/body temperature is better, the allergies I go to see him for subside after my visits and my digestion has greatly improved. Four years later I continue my visits to Dr. Barrett. And he is always right on. His dietary tips, his suggestions to meditate, consider yoga or really harness my energy towards what I desire. Beyond all of this he is a wildly fascinating, kind, insightful man. I've told him time and time again "you really ARE a healer." He kind of just shrugs off the compliments. If anything, this man isn't cocky and he isn't out to take you money or feed you supplements. Somehow he just gets it. I have never left his office feeling I have anything but a stellar experience. If any of you are seeking a truly skilled acupuncturist I urge you to call Dr. Barrett. I know I will never let him go. read more

Dr. Barrett is not just an incredible doctor, but he's also the reason I believe in acupuncture as a healing practice. Over the past four years I've been dealing with an intense arch pain in my left foot. I was all but ready to give up and just deal with the pain for the rest of my life. However, a couple of months ago, I started visiting his office. After the first few appointments I noticed that my foot was beginning to feel better and the tightness and tenderness that I experience in my arch went away for long periods of time. Whenever it does pop back up, I go back to him and usually book in a 3 to 6 session package. Besides helping me with my pain, Dr. Barrett is also just a really great guy. We have great conversations and discuss more than just the pain I'm suffering, which makes me feel like she cares about me as a patient and as a human being. His staff at the front desk, Christine and Natalie, are sweet as can be and always extremely accommodating to my hectic schedule. They even give me tea at the end of each session! It's all so amazing. One thing Dr. Barrett does that sets him apart from other acupuncturists is his use of stim on my foot and other parts of my body. This increases blood flow to the areas of pain and really makes me feel like I'm getting a lot out of each treatment. He's not just another acupuncturist. He is certainly the best acupuncturist I've ever been to. I cannot recommend him enough. A side note: this is my first post on Yelp. I just left his office and was inspired to sign-up simply to post this. Happy healing! read more

Dr. Barrett, is the only Doctor that actually has listen to what I had to say. He took the time on my first visit to ask many question about me! He was able to relive my post surgery shoulder pain. Dr. Barrett guided me to a better way of living through exercise and eating the best foods for me. I will be going to Dr. Barrett for any other issues I have in the future. read more

About two months ago I sought out acupuncture to clear chronic facial acne. When I found Dr. John Barrett online I immediately set up a consultation. He took my insurance and his office was quick to reply with paperwork and scheduling. I have done everything to clear my acne from accutane, spironolactone, cutting out foods, supplements, face creams, strict workout regiment, etc. I finally decided to quit all supplementation and medications to bring my body back to baseline, however the acne continued. I get married soon- so I was determined to get my acne clear via holistic health and Traditional Chinese Medicine. My first appointment with Dr. Barrett was extremely detailed. I was grateful to feel supported in my concerns, and relieved that he was confident in his diagnoses and treatment plan. I think the "vibe" of the consult really sealed the deal. I could tell he is extremely passionate about his work and his eagerness to heal. He explained my diagnoses and treatment plan in detail, and broke it down to basics so I could understand what was happening inside my body. We then proceeded with my first acupuncture treatment (I had never done acupuncture before). It was SO relaxing I fell in and out of sleep, it almost felt like i was in a lucid dreaming state. After the treatment I felt refreshed and like a weight of stress had been lifted off my shoulders. He also treated the individual acne lesions and scars on my face. Every little mark and pimple was taken care of, I was grateful for his attention to detail and that he took so much time to treat me. Aside from the acupuncture, a HUGE part of my skin clearing had to do with Dr. Barrett's home instructions and meal plan (including meal timing and temperature of foods). I had no idea that the way I was eating was causing my body so much stress and having a negative effect on my circulation and nutrient absorption. His meal plan can be tailored to any dietary restrictions (I eat mostly a paleo diet free of grains, dairy and processed goods). I have more energy throughout the day, never get agitated or 'hangry' and I wake up feeling refreshed+renewed instead of foggy+fatigued. I can honestly say that his daily instructions for stress relief, diet and stretching has totally changed my life and mental health on top of CLEARING MY ACNE. He also prescribed me Chinese herbs to take orally and to apply topically to my face. He taught me techniques to clear active pimples quickly and without scarring. All of which have helped immensely in keeping the acne away, and quickly resolving any small pimples that routinely come with my menstrual cycle. By following all the above instructions, my acne was mostly cleared in 3 weeks. The scars continue to lighten with each appointment. Needless to say, I look forward to every appointment, and am very happy I found Dr. Barrett in time to have clear skin for my upcoming wedding. I know that acupuncture will be something I utilize for the rest of my life (whether it be fore acne or other ailments) and am thrilled that I found an expert who I can trust. read more

Dr.Barrett is by far the best! I have been in doctors offices for years due to stomach problems that most doctors couldnt figure out and would just throw some pills at me and say here try this. So I got fed up with western medicine and sought out the eastern way. Dr.Barrett really helped me and got my stomach back to normal, and he replaced the pills they were giving me with chinese herbs and I had way better results. The staff is really friendly and the best part is that they take insurance. The staff works really hard to call your insurance company for you and see if your insurance is accepted because they know how to talk to the insurance companies so they found out I could get the benefits even though I had been told I was not covered. Unfortunately my parents switched insurance companies and now I am not covered and cannot afford to go very often, but before I was going twice a week for over a year! Dr.Barrett is highly recommended to help any type of pain or illness. He listens and is very caring and compassionate. One of the best doctors I have ever met! read more

Dr. Barrett is a god. Here's why: I'd received a referral from my orthopaedist, Dr. Robert Spektor, (whom I love even more for telling me about Dr. Barrett), and I'd promptly dropped by his office to set up an appointment. His friendly and lovely staff gave me the information I sought and was confident I'd feel better after seeing him. Having lived in Asia for over 2 decades and worked in the spa industry for years, I've learned a lot about the benefits of herbs, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. But nothing convinces me more than the sessions I have with Dr. Barrett. I was giggling and giddy with happiness at the end of my first session. For the first time in 10 months since I'd been rear-ended on the freeway and totaled my car, I was free from pain. I have a couple of herniated discs in my neck and lower back and haven't been able to engage in physical activities such as hiking or going to the gym etc., all the things I love and took for granted. Dr. Barrett gives me hope that I will once again be able to lead an active lifestyle. I hadn't been able to sleep without waking up in the middle of the night from the pain and yet the night of that wonderful day when I first tried acupuncture, I slept like a baby, and i've had uninterrupted sleep since then. I couldn't believe it when I woke up the next day. I remember crying from sheer relief and gratitude. I even canceled my appointment for an epidural lumbar cortisone shot because I no longer needed it. Dr. Barrett is brilliant. Period. What I love about him is that he explains how everything is inter-connected and addresses everything that contributes to your ailments. He has a holistic approach, gives you in-depth analyses on what you're experiencing and offers guidance to live in a way that fosters healing and promotes one's well-being. Do yourself a favor and experience acupuncture with Dr. Barrett. Everyone deserves to feel physically, mentally and emotionally better. Each time I leave, I have clarity in my mind, peace in my soul and joy in my heart. My body feels new and nothing can ruin my day. Thank you, Dr. Barrett, for sharing your wisdom, knowledge and gift of healing. I could never thank you enough for all that you do. read more

Dr. Barrett and his staff have been exceptional when it comes to facilitating the healing process. I've been in treatments with him for over 3 years. He has demonstrated concern and has been exceptionally diligent in his practice when treating my conditions. From pulled muscles to sinus inflammation to hair loss, he has tailored a treatment plan specific to my needs. With his assistance, I have gained trust in tradition oriental medicine and the practice of acupuncture. Additionally, knowing he is associated with a premiere medical facility in close proximity, if there were ever a need, leaves me at ease. Scheduling is convenient, billing is effortless and his trained and friendly staff are warm and welcoming. He differientiates his practice in many ways, but one i have to say is a nice touch...he even offers aromatherapy as a form of relaxation with every treatment. Overall a must try!!! ...would recommend to anyone. read more

My wife and I were having trouble getting pregnant. From the minute we got there and had our first consultation, he was optimistic, friendly, professional, fun, skilled, and gentle! This review is long overdue but I'm happy to report that our baby is almost 1 year old. There's no question his skills and attention played a major role in our success. Thanks Dr B! read more

Went through tons of therapy on my arm after an injury. Dr. Barrett's acupuncture was the only thing that helped me! Went to other acupuncturists and nothing compared! Definitely recommend! read more

I have had mixed experiences with other Acupuncturists, and was pretty skeptical to give it a try again. But getting acupuncture from Dr. Barrett was better than I could have ever imagined. The amount of relief that I experienced from my muscle pain was a hundred times greater than previous acupuncture treatments. The pain that felt debilitating when I came in was completely gone by the time I left. I felt like a new person - not just relieved but refreshed and energized, with a sense of peace and wellness. Just the acupuncture would have been enough to keep me coming back, but Dr. Barrett is more than just an acupuncturist, he's a specialist in Eastern Medicine. The herbal supplements he recommended were exactly what I needed to continue to feel relief and energy between treatments. The dietary changes he suggested also made a big difference too. I really appreciated the time he took to explain to me why and how the treatments worked when I asked. He could translate the theory behind it so that I could understand it. It was so reassuring and comforting to really get what was happening during the treatment. But what made all the difference in the world is this: Dr. Barrett really listens and has incredible compassion. Because needles bother me *so* much, for years I didn't think I could even try acupuncture. When I did try acupuncture, I found I could tolerate the needles, but I was never comfortable with them before going to Dr. Barrett. His compassion and understanding have allowed me to actually feel comfortable with the needles. That seemed completely impossible before Dr. Barrett! But, he is simply the best. read more

Dr. Barrett is a higly compassionate and devoted professional who has cared more about my health needs than I have. I had severe shoulder pain ("frozen shoulder") that would interfere with sleep and work, but as a workaholic, I put aside my health concerns and cancelled appointments due to my late hours at work. Dr. Barrett generously accomodated my late work schedule and spent time explaining my diagnosis and my treatment plan, which included acupunture, herbs, a change in my diet, and even exercises that really helped me regain strength in my shoulder and arm. So not only did he help reduce my pain through my visits, but he also taught me how to practice pain management and prevention on my own time. He would personally call me to see how I was feeling, displaying his genuine concern and compassion for his patients. I have continued seeking Dr. Barrett's help for my medical concerns, and have referred my family members and co-workers, and will continue doing so. If you're seeking a medical professional who is knowledgeable, experienced, and truly cares about his patients, call Dr. Barrett's office! read more

First off Adry who works at the front desk is amazing! Super friendly and her willingness to accommodated my schedule was great!! Dr Barrett is a wonderful acupuncturist. He truly cares about his patients and spent literally an hour to understand all my pains and helped me get the best treatment I possibly can get. He is fun, compassionate and a very knowledgeable doctor! I am so blessed as I had neck and back spasms and could not take pain medication. After less than 8 treatments of acupuncture with Dr Barrett I have no more spasms! My stress and anxiety are under control. Highly recommended everyone needs to get acupuncture treatment to reduce their pain and stress. Ps. He wrote a book ( caveman bodies in a corporate jungle) read it. It's life changing! read more

I wrote a review on Dr. Barrett three years ago and I recently went in for treatment as it had been a little over a year since I stopped. Let me just say Dr. Barrett is still the best! I started breaking out again and he performed his magic and immediately my face looked better. I felt so relaxed after that treatment. I am going to start coming more often. I highly recommend Dr. Barrett to anyone who has ever wondered about the benefits of acupuncture. He's very knowledgeable and patient. You won't regret coming! read more

I have a moderately herniated disc @ L5/S1. I have already undergone 2 epidural injections to help me with my LBP and Sciatica. Unfortunately they don't last. Well this time I decided to try accupunture and found John. Let me tell you something, JOHN IS THE REAL DEAL! My pain was gone from the very 1st session and I've been pain free ever since (4wks & counting). He also taught me how to stretch and how to improve my eating. I've lost 3 lbs and I feel great! Just go. You'll be glad that you did. The office is so well-appointed and his office assistant Natalie is a doll! And I just love the treatment rooms. John turns down the lights, lights the candles, gives me my lavender oil aroma stick, turns on the heat lamp then cues up my favorite CD "Spirit Wind" by Richard Warner. I even bought a copy to play at home! LOL! It's the closest to bliss that you'll ever feel in a doctors office. read more

I went in two days ago for back and neck pain. I am not in pain right now, despite having been in pain continuously for months, so I'm giving this business five stars. I'm sure I'll be in pain again, perhaps sooner than later. I know this is just the nature of an injury; it takes time to heal, and anything I get from an hour-long session is just going to be temporary relief. With that in mind, I'm pleased that part of my diagnosis and treatment included an analysis and nutritional recommendations. So instead of just treating the pain in the short term, I was also given a way to work on the long term healing aspect of these injuries. My experience with the medical community has mostly involved prescription pain killers and anti-inflammatory meds, coupled with the advice that I quit my sport and athletic pursuits and take up recreational walking. My experience with chiropractic care has generally been more positive, but the adjustments, despite usually providing short term relief, also seem to fade quickly, and they occasionally still end with me walking out in more pain than what I was experiencing when I went into the place. So the medical approach has been unproductive and unintelligent, while the chiropractic approach has just made me more dependent on chiropractic care. I'd rather be told to address the problem (not just the symptoms) through long term diet and lifestyle changes. And that's what I got from my trip to Barrett's office, along with two days (so far) of relief from pain. That's what I was hoping for, so I'm pleased with the experience and I highly recommend this. read more

I'm going to refrain from posting my medical issue on-line, but I think it is important to post what a great acupuncturist Dr. Barrett is and how supportive and calming his demeanor. I often find relief from the physical issues that cause me to seek care from Dr. Barrett and the bonus is the emotional support I receive as well. Thank you Dr. Barrett. Much success and happiness in 2015. read more

Dr Barrett is astonishingly good at what he does. After months of suffering from hot flashes, I went from 10 a day to one or two a day after just one week of treatment. I also found him to have a great bedside manner and someone that I can confide in about the challenges in my life and his treatment brings great peace and relaxation. I have been under tremendous stress and that has dissipated due to his acupuncture treatment plan and the herbs that I have been taking. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

Dr. Barrett is truly the best acupuncturist out there. He is extremely knowledgable, professional, caring, and attentive. After just one treatment, I experienced tremendous migraine relief. Dr. Barrett genuinely cares about his patients and is passionate about what he does. I would highly recommend him to all my family and friends. read more

It's always hard to find an acupuncturist you like and trust. Not only is he very generous in his treatment method, but also he's a down-to-earth guy who's genuinely interested in your healing and continual health. Been to him more than a dozen times and would highly recommend him. Especially if it's your first time to acupuncture. He keeps it approachable. The office is in a great building, comfortable, and all around a good experience. read more

Expensive and very concerned about not being paid. Parking difficult. Lot is costly.
