I have been having back pain for more than a year before going to see Dr. Rafia. I admit I was a bit scared coming in since it was my first time and have never had an acupuncture session before. Dr. Rafia was so nice and made sure I was comfortable. A few months before my first session I started losing mobility on my left arm, I was in pain and couldn't raise my left arm straight up but after my first session; I was able to move my left arm around and straight up with out any pain. Even my husband was amazed with the result of the first session. I ended up coming back a few more times, each time I came the pain in my back diminished significantly and now I am pain free! I am now a firm believer of acupuncture and would definitely recommend Dr. Rafia's practice. She definitely cares for her patients! read more

Dr. Rafia is amazing! We started by treating my complete back pain and "graduated" to anxiety and insomnia; both of which are improving dramatically.

I initially came to see Dr. Rafia because I was told at 46 that I needed back surgery. I went to Dr. Rafia instead because of the excruciating pain that I was in, I needed relief right then and I got it. I have gone once weekly since getting my back pain under control and I am so happy to have found Dr. Rafia. My quality of life is better and I know that I can turn to her for relief when I experience pain, no medication, just natural pain relief. My husband also sees her weekly for pain relief and this speaks volumes because getting him to be consistent when it comes to his health is a challenge. I highly recommend Dr. Rafia, she is the queen!! read more

First acupuncturist I met through Groupon who treated me like a real patient. Seeing her map out a treatment plan during the first session made me stop hopping groupon specialists and stay with her. She doesn't look at the tongue or feel your pulse or talk about your constitution like most native Asian doctors. And yet, despite only going off of what I told her, she was the first to make my conditions improve, slowly but surely. She asks every time how things have improved, and adjusts accordingly. You feel like she has a direction, a goal, and is aware and flexible in it. She is not stingy with her needles, and gives all the care she thinks you need, even if it involves holding your hand to calm you from needle-phobia or giving you a hug every time you come and leave. She is a doctor who is extremely competent AND compassionate - a rare combination indeed! read more

Dr Rafia has been treating me for migraines for nearly 2 months now and the results have been better than I ever could have imagined. I have suffered from Migraines for many years and nothing has worked better than the treatment plan that Dr Rafia created for me. She offers very warm and comforting personalized accupuncture services and is not only very caring, she is a true expert at her craft. She knows how to get to the root of the problem and resolve it as quickly and gently as possible. I have never felt better. She has also helped tremendously with my sinus issues and energy levels. My mind and body are in perfect harmony and I will continue to see her as much as she prescribes. It is completely worth the time and money. I highly recommend Dr Rafia. For those of you reading this that don't like needles, Dr Rafia is so gentle, there is nothing to be nervous about. read more

After a couple visits, Dr. Rafia had me feeling just about 100% better. I am feeling more balanced and more like how I used to feel. She is caring and very well educated in her field. I highly recommend her. read more

I started bringing my two children to Dr. Rafia in July of 2015 after two separate orthopedists told me that the best treatment for my kid's issues was acupuncture. And so I found Dr. Rafia through a groupon deal and have to say it was one of the best finds I have made so far through groupon!! Dr. Rafia has been treating my daughter's shoulder that she injured playing water polo and where no other Western medicine or treatments could help her with her pain and use of her shoulder, Dr. Rafia provided her with complete relief and she can now play water polo again, pain free!!! Dr. Rafia has also started treating my daughter for her depression and menstrual cramps, and again with both issues my daughter is no longer suffering from them through Dr. Rafia's acupuncture treatments! Dr. Rafia has also been treating my 11 year old son and his lower back pain he started suffering from and through Dr. Rafia's treatments he too now is pain free! Again, where Western medicine could not relieve my son's pain, Dr. Rafia could, and he can now go back to playing sports, pain free!!! Dr. Rafia also is treating my son for his anxiety and ADHD. I did not want to put my young son on medication for these issues and felt that other treatments, such as acupuncture, would provide better results without all the side effects Western medication seems to cause for these particular issues. And again, we are seeing very positive results!! My son is having a better time focusing on his school work and his grades are showing improvement, as well as, his attitude at home and his positive decision making. Even his anxiety has improved and he has less anxiety attacks and can work through issues better then he had before starting treatments with Dr. Rafia! I never have written a review for anything, but I feel that Dr. Rafia is such a wonderful person and her treatment of my kids is as if she were treating one of her own!!! I have become a firm believer in acupuncture and the positive results I have experienced through Dr. Rafia's treatments, not only on my children, but also on a couple of treatments I have personally received from her!!! Thank you Dr. Rafia for all you do for my children and myself!!!!! read more

Dr. Rafia sought and paid a lot of attention to feedback from me regarding the status and changes in my shoulder issues. I am very satisfied with the results and appreciate her successful treatment of my affliction. I strongly recommend her. read more
