I stumbled upon this business in direct relation to the fact that my current acupuncturist had an…read moreinjury and wouldn't be able to be seeing clients for some period of time. Having seen multiple different acupuncture professionals in the last few years, it's always a curious experience, as everyone is different in their manner, and in the way that they apply the needles. I have to say, I was more than pleasantly surprised with the care and precision that Christine employs. I felt as if my prior acupuncturist was this precision wizard, and no one else could rival his expertise. I was happily proven wrong! Christine does a great job of setting up the environment, setting the tone, and approaching any and all ailments with a laser precision that is hard to comprehend. She always seems to know exactly where to place the needles for maximum relief, and how to get you back to feeling tip-top.

Beyond great, Dr. Zhao healed me of two major problems when we were both in Ithaca. Western…read moremedicine elsewhere (these 2 are trained to US standards in addition to traditional ) had given me useless inhalers. Then, a professor referred me to Dr. Zhao and her sister who together got me healing. Later, on crutches for months, I was treated by them with immediate results. I'd go across country for treatment by either sister. Some office visits required more time and more approaches, but the visit cost the same regardless and was reasonable for me, a grad' student. Their philosophy of healing, their approach with patience and dignity, is healing in itself. Lighter story: Once, they gave me herbs to soak and drink for a nasty cold. Next visit, they said: "You're still sick! You didn't take your medicine!" "How did you know I didn't?""Because you're still sick!"

Dr. Zhao is a compassionate, highly trained professional! I highly recommend her. I have gone to…read moreher for about 8 years....it is just so healing for me. If you are reading this....you might be in pain, frustrated, weak....wondering why you are "stuck." If you want to try accupuncture, you need to know that Dr. Zhao was a top medical doctor in China and has over 20 years experience here, even teaching at a nearby chiropractic school. I would really recommend a real Chinese person, especially a doctor for this type of medicine....she can give you so much background that westerners cannot. This is not western medicine, this is a different culture/philosophy, so please acknowledge that. She works by herself and does everything herself; she has no receptionist to answer calls or do paperwork (this lowers the office rates). So chances are when you call her, she is currently working. It is easier to ask your questions and understand the treatments either by going to her website or stopping in, if you can, to ask her. She has a strong Chinese accent and it may be harder to understand over the phone. The best part is, when you come to her, you have her all to yourself for at least an hour, usually $65.00. Insurance doesn't usually cover accupuncture....but think of it, an hour for consultation and treatment....so thorough. You can talk to her about anything you want, she has so much experience, so many suggestions and will customize the treatments to YOU. She also can provide herbs and supplements fairly inexpensively. She is one of my favorite practitioners of all time. She is super patient, knowledgeable and very supportive. You may or may not "feel" immediate results after your first visit: please don't give up. This is a process that involves much more than just showing up and getting needles....it is a whole philosophy (including nutrition, sleep, relaxation, allergies, etc) to help your healing journey.

Warning: Brought my Mom here after someone recommended her (the person that referred me, no longer…read moregoes as they had no results after 1 yr of treatments) we went over a dozen times out fear, as she said to my Mother that she had about a YEAR TO LIVE... we were so upset, angry but thought we had to try it, because we were scared, we spent so much money as she is very expensive and had no results at all... by the way my mother has been healthy and happy for over 3 years since! It's not right, she isn't God, she shouldn't say that to people! She does not accept insurance and price gouging and using scare tactics on patients.

When I first worked with Jennifer, I was struggling with eczema issues and frequent headaches. We…read moreagreed to meet 1 to 2 times a month. Every appointment I had with her, she would help relieve my skin problems and headaches. She would even go up and beyond to educate me on how to take better care of my skin through dieting and stress relief tips. It's been about a year since we've had our last appointment and since she has moved to New York, but I haven't had an eczema breakout since. And headaches are rare to come by now. I appreciate that she helped me as an acupuncturist, and how she also educated me on how to take better of myself in a more holistic way.

So I recently saw Jennifer because of extreme stomach pain and diarrhea. I had gone on a trip to…read morePuerto Rico and had gone swimming in a cave and I think I swallowed some cave water. When I got back to Rochester I was feeling horrible, and I couldn't sleep or stay away from the toilet. I went and saw Jennifer the next day and within 15 minutes I started feeling relief. It was awesome! I literally fell asleep on the table and slept for the first time, without pain, in 3 days. That night I was finally able to get the rest I needed. I've always known that acupuncture can help with pain, but I had no idea I could get instant relief for stomach and intestinal issues.

Courtney is truly an acupuncture goddess! She has full command of not only the physical aspects of…read morethe human body but also knows how to integrate the spiritual and emotional components to healing as well. Her ability to meld theory with application is what sets her apart from other TCM practitioners I have visited. Courtney has an innate intuition that guides her to the best treatment approach for you and is very sensitive to each person's constitution and disposition. I am also very impressed with the various modalities she incorporates into making your session a full mind, body and soul healing experience. Courtney has a gentle and kind bedside manner, one that makes you trust and feel at ease immediately. I highly recommend seeing her for all your aches and pains, whether they are physical, emotional, or spiritual. She can help to restore balance and harmony into your life! And bonus, she is also a phenomenal licensed massage therapist!

Jennifer takes the time to listen to me and addresses all my issues at each session. I love her aromatherapy which helps me relax.

She definitely goes above and beyond and I can't recommend her enough. If you are going through fertility treatments she is a must to add to your team!
