Dr. Kathleen Albertson was recommended to me by my doctor while undergoing IVF treatment. I was going into my third transfer attempt and I was asking what I could do differently to try to improve my odds. I had never done acupuncture before but was willing to give it a try. At my first visit, she explained everything she was going to do and explained the fertility benefits of acupuncture. She made me feel completely at ease. The needles didn't hurt at all. Each week I looked forward to treatments. I ALWAYS got an AMAZING nap at each session and always felt so refreshed after! She always kept the rooms warm and so cozy and comfortable. It was impossible to not be relaxed. I loved how she was flexible when I needed to change appointments and she was very quick to respond via text message. She is very kind and supportive and always reminded me to take care of myself and put myself first (over all of the work and other life stress going on). I truly believe these sessions helped lead to a successful transfer! Fast forward months later, and I am just getting out of my first trimester! Thank you Kathy for everything!! read more

Kathy is awesome! Very caring and knowledgeable. I've been seeing her since 2003. My husband and daughter have also had successful appoints, so yeah, my whole family loves Kathy. This is the first practitioner I have ever recommended. HIGHLY RECOMMEND KATHY! read more

OK, I'll admit it. I was a heretic. A non-believer. Someone who thought acupuncture was a cross between voodoo and psychic surgery. Man, was I wrong. After I herniated a disk in my lower back and was waiting for my appointment with a neurologist to come around, my wife recommended I visit her acupuncturist, Kathy Albertson. Great idea. Dr. Albertson is extremely nice, attentive and, above all, skilled and knowledgeable about her field. In addition to acupuncture, she's also expert in herbal medicines and offers blood analyses if that's your thing. Mine is going in every once in a while, laying down on the comfy table and letting Dr. Albertson work her magic with the needles. It's almost like a spa treatment without the aromatherapy. Whether the acupuncture worked or not (I've now mostly recovered from the herniated disc), I do know this: it makes me feel great, and I'll go back if ever I have problems like that again. read more

Kathleen Albertson - OC Acupuncture Entrance - Acupuncture Near Me

Initially, I was skeptical of acupuncture but I heard stories from others with chronic sinus infections who swore by acupuncture (if done by an expert). My Next step was to find the right person by reaching out to my network of friends. The recommendations were outstanding, which was confirmed by my first visit! Kathy listened closely to my concerns and responded to my needs. She did not push anything but humbly offered suggestions and went to work. Additionally, she is a great person! read more

Where to start! I started seeing Kathy in 2019 as I was preparing for my first IVF transfer! She was so supportive and created an acupuncture schedule for me through the end of my first trimester! Kathy was even kind enough to come to the Fertility Clinic the day of my procedure to do treatments pre & post embryo transfer! 3 years later, when I decided to undergo another transfer, I immediately contacted Kathy to set up another treatment plan! She saw me throughout my prep period, on the day of my embryo transfer, and through my second trimester! I was very skeptical about the entire experience when my fertility MD suggested it, however, I truly feel that Kathy helped ensure that my transfers were successful both times! If nothing else....my chats with Kathy were lovely, and I had the best 45-50 minute naps during my sessions! With three children under three, I constantly consider going back to see Kathy just for the rest! Thank you Kathy for being incredibly supportive and for playing such an important role in my IVF experience read more

I have been seeing Kathyleen for about 3 weeks now and everytime I have my treatment I walk out feeling as if I have just had a massage. I have a problem relaxing (ALWAYS), when I have my sessions I lay on my side (it feels better on my neck) and have a 45 minute nap and walk out with NO pain, and feel much more relaxed. I recommend you give Dr. Albertson a try. She advises you, she listens and she remembers you for your next visit. Very personable, caring and best of all it works!! read more

I was experiencing severe low back, buttocks, upper thigh pain. I could not bend over at all. My hamstrings and Piriformis muscles were so tight. My friend suggested Kathy to me. I am a Physical Therapist so I was skeptical. 2 treatments late I'm 90% better. I'm amazed. Kathy is very kind and caring. She really cares about you. I'm so happy I found her. read more

I recently visited Kathy to aid fertility treatments I was undergoing. My experience with her was everything I was hoping for and more. Not only was my IVF cycle successful, but my egg quality was stronger than it had been 4 years prior at the time of my first egg retrieval. I was not expecting that news, considering I am 4 years older! I am convinced that Kathy's help was what made the extra difference. Kathy really takes the time to get to know each of her patients and she truly cares about your individual situation. Andrew B's comment is simply unfair. Kathy sees many fertility patients who have undergone years of heartache and for whom, most of their treatments are not converted by insurance. I know that for my husband and myself, our insurance would not cover a single penny of treatment, only certain diagnostic teats which we didn't need because the issue was simply that cancer treatments had left my husband infertile. While paying for fertility treatment that runs thousands of dollars per try, and is not guaranteed to work, most people are not able to afford "extras" on top of that such as acupuncture. All Kathy might do is work with patients to try to find ways to help them get approval by their insurance companies so that they are actually able to afford visits. To me, this was a relief, and I am thankful to her! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Kathleen Albertson for approximately a year and a half, coming to her with severe scoliosis/osteoporosis and debilitating spinal pain. I'd been to a dozen or so physical therapists and two other acupuncturists during the past few years with minimal, short-lasting relief. My body was almost completely dysfunctional and I was in constant pain while taking many harsh pain pills just to get through my day. After completing extensive lab work with Dr. Albertson, she developed the mixture of herbs my body needed on a consistent basis. With her daily herbs and weekly acupuncture, while also beginning with a weekly Myofacia Trigger Point Massage Therapist, I am a completely new person with minimal back pain, lots of energy and absolutely have my life back! It takes a lot of determination and consistency which Dr. Albertson and I worked on together. I know I will continue with my therapies and herbs for the rest of my life! Thank you, Dr. Albertson. PS: My bone density in my spine increased by a whopping 31%. My orthopedic surgeon was astounded! N. Smith read more

I went to Dr Albertson for tremors in my left arm. Previously, I had seen a neurologist who prescribed meds that messed up my vision. After just one visit with Dr Albertson, my tremor was about 50% better. After several more treatments and some herbs, I am feeling so much better! Dr Albertson is kind and caring and her staff is as well. I highly recommend this office! read more

I went to see Dr Albertson for the first time Aug, 2017 when everything else was not giving me the results I desired. I was checking out mostly "fine" by Western standards in terms of labs results, etc, but I was not well, feeling very maxed out in my endocrine, lymphatic and nervous system. Just one thorough consultation with Dr Albertson worked miracles. She got me on a combination of chinese herbs which started to work almost instantly. My overall energy improved almost instantly (w/in 48 hrs), I had bad adrenal fatigue, periorbital edema and eczema. Both, the swelling and eczema cleared up in two weeks (I'd had it for 1 yr)...I was over the moon. In addition, I needed herbs compatible with my diet (gluten, soy, corn and dairy free), and she made it happen. Dr Albertson gave me my life back and I am eternally grateful! Thanks from the bottom of my heart Dr Albertson, you're the best! Needless to say, I highly recommend Dr Albertson! read more

I started seeing Kathie for fertility and headaches. At first I found her to be very nice and the accupuncture was very relaxing. However, her office staff made a major error with my insurance and I wound up overpaying by $600!! When I discovered the error, they lied to me and tried to cover it up. I am still dealing with this! When I spoke to Kathie about it, she was extremely rude and condescending to me and my husband, as well as her staff. She implied that it was my fault and that I was trying to defraud my insurance! Perhaps the stressful environment is why I didn't get pregnant while seeing her. (I did get pregnant the month after I stopped seeing her!) I planned to file a complaint against her with the Better Business Bureau, but can't find her business listed with them...I'm not surprised! read more

Such a great place! Dr. Albertson was very professional and informative and helped me with all my needs. Now I go here regularly. She and her staff are very friendly and caring. Highly recommend her! read more
