They are very caring and offer a great service at a great price. I went in with specific needs and felt incredibly relieved at the Healing experienced from their services. read more

I highly recommend SRCA both Viola and Melanie are amazing acupuncturists! I had a horrible skin condition and they cleared it up. I had tried everything possible dermatologist etc. but after meeting with viola she gave me herbs to drink in a tea then I received acupuncture from viola and also Melanie. They are both so knowledgeable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

I have had multiple health issues resolved through the care and expertise of the acupuncturists at Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture. The open room is kept clean and comfortable, so comfortable that it's hard not to fall asleep while the needles are doing their magic! My most recent treatments was for an over active bladder that was causing a great deal of sleep disruptions for months. I had real results after the second treatment and slept through the night for the first time in months. I'm now having them treat some arthritis in my elbow that was getting very painful. I'm pain free and will always highly recommend their services and continue to seek them out when nothing else helps. Appreciate that their sliding scale makes their services affordable so you can get the treatments needed. read more

I have been here a total of 4x so far and have seen Viola each time. They have limited hours only open 3x a week so getting an appt could be difficult for your schedule. Viola is a genius, everytime I have seen her for various issues..anxiety, headaches, colds/flus, etc, she makes me feel better each time. She takes the time to listen to your needs. You lie down in a community setting. She pokes you with needles and you relax for a hour or so. Once you are awake, she removes all the needles. Booking online is easy. You leave your credit card on file which will be charged each time you are done with your session. The best part is that it's a sliding scale..so whatever you can afford is great for them with the exception of the first visit which is $55. I have even gotten my husband to come here for his shoulder pain. Highly recommend!! If you have any ailments bothering you..GO NOW! read more

WOW! Came in with crippling Arthritis in my hands. Not expecting miracles. Here, there are miracles! I left with NO pain in my hands. So very grateful! Sliding scale allows healing for all. Very thankful! read more

My husband and I receive regular treatments at Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture. The nurturing environment soothes our weary souls, quiets our minds and deeply relaxes our nervous systems. We find that our aches and pains, anxieties, allergies and injuries are often instantly relieved with the expert acupuncture treatments that we receive at SRCA. We have experienced relief with some annoying issues that our regular doctors have not been able to help with. It's reasonably priced and worth a try if you have any issues that need relief. Plus, it's easy to park in the parking garage right next to the office! read more

Very friendly and kind. I highly recommend. For those that have never had acupuncture this is a first perfect clinic to try acupuncture. Wonderful place to relax, re-energize, and to heal. read more

Wow, I'm feel refreshed and like I had a mini vacation. I actually dozed off in the recliner. The practitioner is really low-key asked specific questions. How did I not know about this place before? What a game changer. If you thinking about it, do it! read more

I highly recommend SR Community Acupuncture. The acupuncturists are experienced, caring, skillful and knowledgeable. They've helped me overcome a chronic health condition, that traditional medical doctors could only treat with repeated doses of antibiotics. My previous experience with acupuncture was in 2004; and I'm thankful!, relieved and satisfied to have the health support from the acupuncturists at SRCA. read more

Very relaxing atmosphere, appropriate questions asked and answers given to mine. I really appreciate the rate system and their trust in my judgment read more

I don't know what happened to my first review of SRCA. It disappeared! I can't recommend Viola's healing center high enough. On a scale of 1-10 SRCA gets a 15. Viola and Nina are outstanding, caring and wonderful professionals. Don't hesitate for a second. Make your appointment now and enhance your health and well being. read more

Wonderful and relaxing community acupuncture center. I came here specifically during pregnancy to help with a breeched baby and it's helped immensely. read more

I've been away from self-care for a while and suddenly decided that I should revisit taking care of myself my health boy am I glad that I came back here it's exactly what I needed. The location is extremely convenient downtown and next to a parking garage the treatment room is incredibly comforting and comfortable I really couldn't ask for more. The staff is caring and helpful answering questions if you have any. During my treatment I felt so relaxed and at home that I admit I fell asleep as did some of the otherClients in the room I noticed when I heard I few little snores I was looking for treatment to relieve back and abdominal pain and it has really helped me in those areas I would definitely return and definitely refer people to come here.I really like that you can go online and book your appointments and pay for it and then you just show up very convenient read more

Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture is awesome! I have been coming in once a week for over three months and it has helped me in my recovery post-surgery tremendously. Integrative medicine, such as acupuncture is very effective for recovering from surgery and pain management. An excellent alternative to nasty pharmaceutical opiates. The treatments that I have received from Viola have increased my blood circulation and qi to areas of injury. I have experienced increased mobility and reduction in pain and swelling. I have been able to work a physically demanding job, where before treatments I would have not. I am very grateful that a clinic like this exists that provides quality acupuncture at affordable rates. It really is a blessing. A big heartfelt thank you to the staff at Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture. I have recommended friends and family to this clinic and also recommend it to you! read more

I have been a patient here for many years. I am currently undergoing a intense transformation in my life and need a lot of supportive and nurturing healing care. Santa Rosa community acupuncture is making sure I get the best care possible. It's amazing and they are all very talented acupuncturist. I primarily am seeing Derek Doss but each week I also see viola and zhoie too. If you have never tried acupuncture or are a afraid,,,please give them a try. Let them know that you are unsure or scared....they will work with you and start very slowly and with few needles if that's what you need. Or if you really need acupuncture and already know of it's healing properties but cannot afford the high price...this is the greatest place on earth,,lmho. They work on sliding scale and it's approx what a co pay would be for most, It's a community setting,,,so many times there are several persons getting treated in the room with you,,for me the power of group healing is like no other. Everyone there is working towards health healing happiness and or pain relief or symptom relief. The vibes are so real and comforting. I cannot express my gratitude strongly enough. This place is a gift. My life is so much fuller and happier because of it. I am forever grateful. read more

I highly recommend this facility that offers excellent treatment in a serene setting.

Set up an appointment online or they accept walk-in appointments as well. I looked at other acupuncturists in the area, but they all charged anywhere from $75-90 an hour. Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture has a sliding scale to pay and it's mainly by the honor system from $20-40 an hour. There is a $15 new patient fee, but it is a relaxing place for treatment. It is a community setting in one room with recliners and blankets, not tables and and patient rooms. Be sure to wear a short sleeved shirt or a camisole, so they can get to your arms. Pants that roll up are good, but tight jeans or yoga pants are fine. While it isn't as personalized as going to an individual practitioner, it was reasonable and I found positive results right away. I'll be returning! read more

Viola at SRCA has helped my body heal in ways I never thought was possible because she is so skilled and the treatments are affordable in a community setting. In August 2017, I was afflicted with Bell's palsy. Shortly after the paralysis of half of my face, I started seeing an acupuncturist in Santa Rosa who was helpful but, because I was paying out-of-pocket, I couldn't afford the weekly one-on-one visits at $90 per hour. In August 2021, I started seeing a medical massage therapist to deal with pains in my neck. The visits only served to make the situation worse. I had to find something else: I couldn't turn my head. I had seen signs for SRCA and the sliding scale rate system appealed to me as well as the community (7 recliner chairs in one room) and started seeing Viola for my neck pains. Great relief after one visit that lasted for 3-4 days. I was amazed: she wanted me to come twice a week. OK. Since any further recovery from Bell's palsy was not likely in my mind, I didn't bother her with that at first. I thought I was stuck with what I was able to get in four years. But I did next time: mentioned my face problems: some relief after one visit. Then, there is the Achilles rupture and reattachment from 2005: still very tight. As of November 1, 2021, my body has not felt this good in almost 20 years. Yes, I use the Chinese herbs she recommends and moxa (a burning charcoal stick) with great success. I feel very lucky to be able to be in this place of an enhanced mind / body experience. read more

This place is definitely helping me get my physical and emotional health back together. Since working on the covid floor for the past year and a half I'm so worn and stressed which has been giving me so many pains. Sorrel sand has been absolutely amazing especially since this is my first place getting acupuncture. My body seems to be responsible to her treatment. I would absolutely recommend this business it's very professional and it works read more

I have been a patient here for over five years and each provider has been a caring, professional, skillful healer. I love the community acupuncture setting, especially in that I can sleep for quite a while in their recliners without interruption. Have had many wonderful, acupuncture induced, deep healing sleeps here. As a person with allergies/asthma, I am happy they are carpet free. This was the first place I ever had acupuncture, which has become key to maintaining my wellbeing. Jennifer, Family Nurse Practitioner read more

I feel compelled to write another glowing review for Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture. Their skill, compassion, relaxed vibe and life-altering results have been consistent through all of my many visits. I routinely pull some ill-advised stunt that throws my back out, and this is where I come for an affordable, reliable and thoroughly enjoyable healing experience. As I get older, new issues are emerging, and they address them all with a kind of calm that comes I think from confident mastery of this healing art. Truly a treasure of Santa Rosa, please check them out and see for yourself! read more

I've worked with all of the acupuncturists here and I think they are all very good at their job. I've been going here for a little over a month for neck pain and to help with fertility. I was actually skeptical that this would work but I figured it couldn't hurt. It worked! I just found out I'm pregnant and I no longer have neck pain! Their costs are very reasonable and the setting is calming. I highly recommend this place for all of your acupuncture needs. read more

I had high hopes for this place based on other reviews here. I came in to see Derek Doss for the first time. When I first came in, no one was there to greet me. After a few minutes of just standing there awkwardly, he finally came in. No warm greeting whatsoever. Consultation was quick and cold, no empathy or friendliness. I honestly felt rushed. Got in, and he was not gentle with the needles at all! He would just stab me quickly without telling me where he was going to put them. While in the chair, I heard drawers slamming, and a lot of movement going on. It was hard to relax because of the noise. I left feeling okay and confused about my experience. I expected more, but I think I want to give this place another chance with the other acupuncturists. One thing that really put me off was when I got home, my ear had a puddle of blood in it from the needles!! This has never happened before and I've been to several acupuncturists! Not happening.. I'll try again with a different acupuncturist and I'll update then. read more

I highly recommend this place! I had a wonderful experience with Michael. He obviously has a lot of experience, and actually explained to me how Chinese Medicine views and makes sense of my combination of complaints, and how they would be treated via acupuncture. Although I have seen many acupuncturists before - and benefited from their treatment - all of them just listened compassionately to my symptoms, then needled me without giving me an explanation of what they understood to be wrong, or how, specifically, they would be addressing it. For me, it was incredibly comforting to be given that explanation. The treatment itself was great - super relaxing. The space is great too - big comfortable stuffed La-Z-Boy-type easy chair recliners, as opposed to both of the other community acupuncture places I've been to, which had mesh recliners that were more like patio chaise lounges. (Don't get me wrong, I love and am grateful for community acupuncture, whatever seating they provide! Just saying that this place is the best I've been to.) Also, other community acupuncture places I've gone to tend to have young practitioners who are undoubtedly very passionate and dedicated, and certainly qualified... but, I like that this place has truly seasoned practitioners. That makes it even more of a gem. The website explains that acupuncture usually needs to be done in a series of treatments, and said that in China, the treatment course might even be as much as acupuncture every other day for 3 months (though Michael seemed to think that sounded excessive, and suggested once or twice a week instead.) This helped me decide to commit to going regularly. Even though just one treatment gives benefit, longer-standing conditions need multiple treatments, and Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture makes that financially doable. (You can get 4 treatments here for the price of one visit to the average private acupuncturist, and although the atmosphere is not quite as cushy, the treatment is probably just as effective. Again, I'm not complaining about private acupuncturists' rates. Just glad this place has a business model that makes frequent treatment so much more accessible!) read more

This place is awesome. Sorre Sandl is extremely gifted and knowledgable at the practice of acupuncture and healing arts. I can't reccomend her enough. read more

While I could go on and on about acupuncture in general and its life-changing benefits, that's another story. What's important here is to note how special Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture is. First and foremost, I love the principle behind this place--quality, affordable acupuncture for all! I have struggled in the past of keeping up with acupuncture because of it's $95/session pricetag, but Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture is a great price. After your first session, you'll realize it's a steal. The location itself is great--downtown--and inside, you feel like you're in an oasis of calm. Running water in small fountains is a really nice touch. Ambient music sends you to another world.There are a variety of lounge chairs and recliners. I've been warned that people have a favorite one, but I have enjoyed trying them all out (they each offer something different). I see Viola, who is amazingly talented (I've been to several acupuncturists and she's the best), but I've also heard good things about Derek. People respond differently to acupuncture--so I don't think it's accurate to laud how fast I responded--but no matter how fast you respond, you will leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. Overall, any acupuncturist who commits to managing/working at a community clinic is okay in my book. It's worth supporting this generous and community-minded endeavor with the hope that one day every community will have a spot like this one. read more

I love Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture. I have been going there for about 5 months now mostly for Interstitial Cystitis and hot flashes. When I started I was not sleeping due to the hot flashes and having to get up every few hours to use the bathroom. I am now almost symptom free. My stress levels have gone down greatly and I am sleeping much better. As a side benefit, my skin is so smooth and has a great color. People keep asking me what beauty products I am using. I would highly recommend them to anyone. The price is great as well as the service.I feel like I am back to my old self again thanks to them. read more

Outstanding experience! Viola owns this business and is so knowledgeable. She provides me with targeted relief to areas of my body that need attention. When I leave my appointment, I feel like I am walking on air! Please support this locally owned business. read more

They are the best. Feel great after every session. Comfortable environment, eventhough it is a communal treatment space. Affordable. Friendly. Clean. read more

Highly recommend this place. Affordable as they are on a sliding scale, but note that you are in an open room shared with others but I didn't mind it at all. So relaxing and could feel the benefits right away. Definitely coming back. They accept walk ins and appts. read more

Disappointing intake process. You get what you pay for in this place...5 minute consult, friendly enough, but the place is rather dismal. There is one room with many recliners draped with sheets. They do not change the sheets between customer use. The care is only provided while sitting in a recliner. Clinic acupuncture may work for some, but not for us; we are looking for more serious help and wanting to spend more time with a practitioner for some quality care. Acupuncture itself was extremely painful and the needles had to be removed prematurely. read more

I've been treated by Joan for a condition involving neck, shoulder and upper back pain. She has been very attentive to my treatment needs. The treatment is helping greatly and should be entirely resolved in a few more sessions. Joan is a consummate professional, very knowledgeable and committed to her patients. She is using a direct acupuncture treatment method with me, which involves placing needles directly at the site of the pain. The relief I have experienced began immediately and continued for days after the treatment. With each treatment the pain became less and less until now it is almost entirely gone and I have been able to forego the use of the pain-killing drugs I had been taking for nearly six months previously. I will continue to seek out Joan's expertise whenever I have need of acupuncture treatment in the future. The business model of the Community Acupuncture clinic is ideal. They have a sliding fee scale, the atmosphere of the clinic is warm and welcoming. and the location is very easy to access in downtown Santa Rosa. read more

I have been treated for many health issues from sadness to shingles. If you are uncomfortable in any way give acupuncture a try. This place is GREAT! Sliding scale and very good compassionate care!! read more

This place is awesome. It's so affordable and even though you're in a room with a lot of other people, it's still so quiet and peaceful. I sat there for 1.5 hours and felt so rested and calm. Great experience! Will update my review after I go for a while longer with how it's helped my overall health. But definitely check this place out! read more

This place is fabulous! My 15 year old daughter is a gymnast and she puts a lot of stress on her body 5 days a week. She suffers from chronic low back and shoulder pain. After 1 time of seeing Viola she felt a lot of relief! She is currently being seen 2 times a week to manage her issues. And to boot my daughter was 1 day into a nasty cold and after the 1 treatment she is pretty much over it! I can't say enough good things about this place!. Thank you!! read more

I searched and searched AND searched the north bay to find an acupuncturist that had the right qualities to fit my needs. I finally found Viola Huang-Beck in Santa Rosa and before even meeting her in person I had a long phone conversation with her and I could feel my search coming to an end. Viola's intelligence, experience, patience, understanding, professionalism and compassion made me feel not only like she could help me, but that she wanted to. Viola keeps a file of all her patients to keep track of your individual needs and progress. I always left my treatments feeling entirely rejuvenated. Viola goes above and beyond to get you healthier and happier. She gave me book recommendations, diet guidelines, relaxation tips -- many times she felt like a personal life coach. With patience and consistency you will see great results. I certainly did. read more

I love community acupuncture! Sliding scale makes it affordable for all and the staff are completely knowledgable. The environment is very nice, quiet and relaxing. read more

LOVE Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture! A family member with Mental health issues, was given a medication that didn't work and had adverse reactions. They saw Derek a handful of times and now are doing great! Getting more stable all the time. Do give them a try! read more

I've seen acupuncturists for more than 20 years, and the depth and solidity of the treatments I received at Santa Rosa Community Acupuncture was unmistakeable. I also very much appreciate the affordable payment policies. I highly recommend these practitioners and wish them the best as they grow their clinic. read more

Some people think acupuncture is only for muscle and joint pain. I was having severe chest pain (yes, hospital emergency) and all cardiac test were negative. Presumptive diagnosis was erosive esophagitis secondary to long-standing GERD. After my 3rd acupuncture treatment, the symptoms started to improve. After 6 treatments (every day), the problem is about 90% fixed. Remember, western medicine offers little help here. I am an experienced biomedical researcher and I don't scoff at results like these. You're missing out if you don't give acupuncture a try, and SRCA is a WONDERFUL health-care model. I received treatment from all 3 practitioners and I credit them with saving me from an intractable condition. KUDOS SRCA! read more
