    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

    Ramzy changed my life…read more I came to Nova Hypnotherapy with a fear of flying and turbulence that had been holding me back for years. In just a few weeks, Ramzy gave me the tools and knowledge to not only conquer that fear, but to handle any fear that comes my way. But the impact went so far beyond flying. What started as a fix for turbulence anxiety turned into a breakthrough for my business. I now walk into presentations with a level of execution and self confidence I didn't have before, and it shows in how I deliver. The ripple effect has been incredible. I'm more conscious of my surroundings, my relationship at home is stronger, and something has genuinely unlocked in my brain that keeps me focused and moving on my mission every single day. If you're on the fence, stop overthinking it and book the session. This work is life changing.

My family goes here all the time for facials, laser hair removal, etc. I was just roped in today for my first laser hair removal (on my face). She did a great job. Even after one treatment, I can see the difference. I have four more to go. I look forward to seeing Saba more in the future. Thanks again!

Saba, who did my treatment was amazing! She explained the process very well and told me what to expect. Once I was sufficiently prepared, she started the laser. Even when treatment was a bit painful, Saba distracted me with her sweet stories! :) The place is very clean, and their equipment is new and effective. I saw such amazing results in just two sittings that I decided to go for my legs and arms as well. Fantastic results on my legs - no more shaving! I understand that laser best effects dark coarse hair on lighter skin. Since my arms are a few shades darker than my legs, the result wasn't all that great for my arms. In fact, I got a minor burn, so Saba immediately suggested to not proceed even though I was still keen. She will give you the right advice and patiently work with your particular case. I've loved my experience at the Tao of Wellness and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I did a LOT of comparisons before I started the treatment with her. Their prices are many times cheaper than known places, and service is as great if not better!

    Why I am just finding out how amazing acupuncture and cupping is? My mom and I visited the VUIM,…read morewhere we both tried acupuncture and cupping for the first time. My mom was really reluctant to go and is now glad she did! This treatment center blends time-honored East Asian medicine with modern medical approaches, offering a more holistic path to healing -- finding the root of the issue not just managing symptoms. Dr. Parker was a GEM! She gave us a tour of their herbal dispensary, where they blend specific herbs to support internal healing, treating the body both inside and out. She shared how certain factors contribute to my back fatigue before starting my treatment. The acupuncture itself was a 2-3 on the pain scale, since I am ticklish, I did jump a whole lot. Acupuncture focuses on specific points to help restore balance and activate the body's natural healing mechanisms--it's like a reset. The cupping felt like a 1 on the pain scale. incredibly relaxing from start to finish. Cupping replenished the cupped areas with healthier blood flow, stimulating healing at a cellular level. Despite being ticklish, I didn't find either treatment painful. My mom received the same treatment for her leg and said she felt fantastic afterward. The clinic offers 1:1 professional acupuncture or discounted student-led treatments, making it accessible for all. My back feels amazing and I've had the best sleep in a long time. Parking is plentiful as well!
