If you haven't tired acupuncture, then you're so missing out on this alternative to pain pills or…read moreelective surgery for pain. I suffered from back and hip problems for years and after my first treatment with Lisa in 2018, I've been going at least twice a month ever since. My pain was drastically minimized to where I was able to go to the gym and workout without pain along with other activities I wasn't able to do. This is a great alternative to a healthier and more active lifestyle.

I went to see Lisa for a few months back in 2007. I felt like I had a bunch of issues, some of…read more which included TMJ and overall mental exhaustion. Lisa was amazing. She is very gentle, and explained not only what she was doing, but the rationale behind the treatment areas. I was always so relaxed during the sessions. I learned a lot about my body in the process, and always felt refreshed and at peace after leaving. I wasn't able to successfully resolve my TMJ issues for a few more years and discovered it was due to medication side effects. But I am considering going back to Lisa for an overall health jump start. To see that she hasn't raised her costs in 4 years is also amazing!

I have had elevated thyroid levels (T3) for years, since seeing Lisa my levels have gone down to…read morenormal levels, and have stayed at normal levels across several months of being re-tested. Lisa has also helped me lower stress and feel stronger in my body generally! She listens deeply and is very kind. I am so grateful to her, and highly recommend her for anyone with thyroid problems.

Also I believe it helped with labor and delivery being on due date and an easy one. Now in the postpartum I'm taking care of my tailbone and some pelvic soreness, muscle aches from breastfeeding and relaxation. It has been working wonderfully!! I highly recommend her!!

Cynthia at Phoenix Sun Wellness is a lifesaver! After a surgery to rebuild one of the joints in my…read morefoot, I was in rough shape. Her treatment room was the first place outside of the hospital or home that I visited, and I am so grateful for her care and expertise. It's wild how fast I improved. Within a week, I could put weight on my foot. Three weeks in, I was walking my dog. My surgeon did incredible work, but Cynthia helped me do my part, healing, only much faster. What I love most is how Cynthia treats the whole you, not just the injury. I always leave feeling recharged, both physically and mentally. If you're hurting or just need some balance in your life, go see Cynthia.

I first tried acupuncture many years ago and wasn't convinced that it could help me. Cynthia…read moreconvinced me to give it another try back in 2020 and I am so happy that I did. I have never met a more knowledgeable or impactful healer than Cynthia. She's honestly one of a kind. She has a remedy for everything and every time I walk out of a session with her I feel 10 times better than I did when I walked in.

Mann-Wen is a true healer! She can soothe or cure seemingly any ailment - once I had bizarre…read moresearing stomach pain for a few hours, and Mann-Wen cured it within a minute by massaging a point in my leg. I was sold! Mann-Wen is always incredibly kind and professional in her demeanor, and her office is clean, quiet and relaxing - I always leave feeling refreshed and calm. She also has a genuine love for nutrition and healthy living and often shares awesome food and exercise tips. I highly recommend Mann-Wen to anyone looking for an acupuncturist. If you wonder if that mysterious ache or pain you're feeling can be helped by acupuncture, call BetterQi!

I had a strange experience just trying to get information and set up an appointment with Dr. Zhao…read more I sent a polite email (as requested on her website) asking her about setting up a visit. After no reply for one week, I followed up with a polite text asking about herbal medicine for high cholesterol. Her reply was "no guarantees!" I wasn't asking for a guarantee; I was hoping to make an appointment. And that was it. No further reply, no help with anything. Maybe she's great, but I'll never know. You might have better luck but "no guarantees"!!

Anne is a licensed, master acupuncturist with a very nurturing, empathic personality. THE DEAL: she allows you to stay for as little or as long as you want for each treatment. They also offer us sliding payment scale... Although their prices are already, by far, the cheapest acupuncture in Back Bay Boston!

The "predator" review is spot on. I took a chance on this doctor in desperation to address extreme…read moreanxiety. I knew it was an "off-the-board" kind of treatment, but decided to give it a try. My exasperation with the "official" medical establishment is one factor that led me here. TL;DR: turns out it's basically homeopathy, meaning lame, unconvincing sleight (and I mean VERY sleight) of hand combined with meaningless psychobabble. Along with two assistants, she went through a procedure that is supposed to find all the bad stuff your body has problems with: She has you hold your arm up and resist her pushing on it, while putting pressure on some part of the body or resting a bottle of some substance on your stomach. When something is "good," you "successfully" resist her pushing. When it's "bad", she waggles your arm back and forth too quickly for you to adjust and push back and says "that organ is weak." It's kind of like you're a human Ouija board, LOL. She kept asking if I understood if I "got it" how one thing was strong and one was weak based on this, and I said, "uh, not really, it just seems like you're changing how periodically you push and pull." She testily said "NO. If you don't get this, we can't continue." (and of course the payment has already cleared the bank) After a few minutes of this, I'm thinking "This is nonsense." I figured I would be polite and wait til they were done and then just never come back. I occasionally asked clarifying questions, and she seemed to think her answers had some kind of logic to them, but nothing she said made any sense. At over an hour in, it was getting difficult to not roll my eyes. She went through the same routine with the bottles of vitamins I brought with me. Presses bottle to my chest, waggles my arm. "Bad." Another bottle. Waggle. "Bad bad." She read the ingredients of my Vitamin C & Zinc bottle, telling me how bad it is, and then suggested I "give this to someone you hate." :o That's what you call "professional." Then she pulled out some "gene chart" that any layperson isn't going to know up from down, throws out some impressive terminology, and said we need to test my genes. It will take from 15m to an hour. "ANOTHER HOUR?" I said. "Well, only if your genes have problems." I am not a rude person, and do not like confrontation, but at that point I abruptly sat up and said "I need to go." I got up and went to put my shoes on and collect my belongings from the table near the door. "But, we're not--" I told her this was absolute BULLSHIT and walked out. The three of them stood there with mouths agape as if this has NEVER happened before. This is "health care" for the hard of thinking. The old phrase pops to mind: "Be open-minded, but not SO open-minded that your brains fall out." (LOL to the 4-star reviewer who seems to think they are being overly critical)

It is not often I feel compelled to write a review, however, Dr Medwar and her team deserve this!…read moreFirst off, I am a registered nurse and believe in western medicine because that is what I was taught. I thought eastern medicine was mmmm a hoax! My daughter and son in law gave my husband and I the gift of life when they gave us gift cards for the initial 3 visits for evaluation. I decided to go in with an open mind. Not going to lie, my husband and I were a bit skeptical during the evaluation phase but decided to follow through because it was already paid for and we felt we had nothing to lose. We are both overweight and in an unhealthy state at present. My husband's diabetes was out of control. In just four short weeks we have both lost 15-20#'s! My husband's diabetes blood sugar has gone from 250-350 on massive doses of insulin down to 80-130 on less than 1/3 of the insulin he was taking! I use to nap on my days off just to get through the day. I am now sleeping less overnight and no longer taking naps! My energy level is that of a younger woman. I cringed a little with the price of the supplements but they do last for the initial "detox" period. So, you can either pay for prescriptions to treat bad health, or you can get in her program and pay for great health and wellness! Thank you Dr Medwar and team for setting my husband and I on the right path. Life is good again! To the nay sayers and the ones who wrote the bad reviews, did you go in with an open mind? Did you let Dr Medwar complete her evaluation? Did you try her program? If you haven't then you should. In just 3-4 weeks my husband and I both started to feel great. Bullshit this is not!
