Inside, the medical assistant walked me through a series of questions and updated my chart. The doctor showed up shortly after and spoke with me about my current symptoms and health concerns. They didn't talk down to me and asked specific things related to my habits and routines, which helped make the conversation more personal. They did a hands on exam and checked a few things with good focus. I noticed they didn't rush through it and took their time to look at multiple factors. They explained a possible direction for treatment and how I might respond to it. I didn't feel pressured into anything, which I liked. The visit was handled in a steady and careful way. It wasn't flashy but felt trustworthy and balanced. Would visit again if needed.

Love the store, hate the new protocol for ringing up. I can appreciate it's probably because people…read moresuck and steal. HOWEVER, it's incredibly awkward, annoying and desperately needs improvement. The way the registers are set up are cubbies on each side of the monitor/scanner/pinpad. This is so you can unload on the right side, scan in the middle, then in the bag on the left. The way this store is doing it, is the employee stands there awkwardly block the left side of the register, waiting for you to put your items on the table, max like 5 items because the table is very small. She scans, then hands it back to you...one. item.at.a.time. I am not even over exaggerating, this has happened the last 4 times I've been here. So not only am I unloading 5 items at a time, but I have to wait there for 1 item to be scanned then handed back, then I put it in the bag, until the table is cleared, then I add another 5 items and so on and so forth... If 5 below is adopting this new policy of having employees scan your items, wouldn't it make sense for them to then put them in the bag too? I mean...how does this model work when it's busy? It was actually insane how awkward and slow this whole ordeal was, it makes me not want yo go back and that sucks because my son and I like to go pretty frequently. I wouldn't even mind if an employee stood right next to me while I scanned each item. That would actually be less awkward than this ridiculous new setup.

I bought a Living Social for a one hour psychic/intuitive reading. I scheduled time to see her as I…read morehave never seen a psychic in my life. I have to say that she was very nice and professional, which was pleasant. I was disappointed with my reading because I felt much of it was not accurate. I wanted to give it time because since I read books like this, I know things do not make sense right away. She told me things about myself that I already knew and also told me that she thinks I am intuitive myself. Perhaps this is why I knew this information? I have no idea but I don't imagine I will return here. I have paid for another one hour reading with her (I bought 2 Living Social vouchers). Any one who wants the other hour, please message me on here and you can have it. Hopefully someone else has a better experience than I did. She told me at the end of the reading about how spirit basically gives the message it wants to give and she basically is just the messenger. What do I know about being a psychic.....nothing. So I'll just leave this one alone.

I don't think I have ever truly craved going back for another massage until I had one with Cristal…read more The experience was so special that I decided to wait until after my second one to write this review, just to make sure that it wasn't a fluke. I am a high energy person, and I have often felt the need to try to unwind. I have had several massages through the years, but nothing like the two I have received from Cristal. Cristal offers: Perfect (deep) pressure, applied intuitively. Magical energy healing! A beautiful, quiet, clean, safe private space I have been on the fence about hands-off energy work, often worrying about legitimacy and efficacy. That is beginning to change now, thanks to Cristal. For the majority of each session, I received a deep tissue massage. Toward the end, I received hands-off energy healing. The second time I received this, I had a lucid dream where I was able to fly! The wind was blowing on my face, and my whole body felt like it was tingling. After that, I had several other crazy dreams -- all in the span of 15 minutes. Cristal is truly exceptional!! I'm so grateful that I found her.

I have gone through some serious difficult emotional issues over the last several years resulting…read morefrom many things, including my wife's multiple-year terminal illness and the death of 4 extremely close people in my life, including family members, all within one year. I finally decided I needed help to understand my feelings and to see if there were a way to pull myself out of the deep grinding morass in which I found myself. I wasn't sure there was. Dr. Pedersen showed me otherwise. I started seeing him at Kaiser where he was the head of his area and followed him into his private practice. I am so glad I did. Dr. Pedersen has an ability to understand one's suffering and to link it to a way out. He can allow one to understand the impact of the emotional shells exploding around one's head; how to protect from further issues, to the extent possible; and how to begin the process of repairing the damage. His extensive knowledge of therapy, as well as his knowledge of other avenues of treatment, permitted me to understand myself much better. I could see the destructive nature of certain actions I was allowing to be inflicted upon me, and I was armed with a defense mechanism. I've never taken so many notes since I was in school. And, he has the ability to convey his knowledge in a way that is understandable and can be applied in one's daily life. He gave me guidance that I applied regularly; things I never would have thought of. His therapy just works, at least it did for me. I am a much changed person. I am happy and joyful most of the time now. He got me out of some dark places. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Definitely. If you have issues, you need a therapist who can take you through them and show you the way out. Dr. Pedersen did it for me. From a personality side, he has a great sense of humor, he is never mean or derogatory, and he truly has a desire to help his patients. He is bright, funny, and caring. I only have the highest of respect and gratefulness for Dr. Pedersen. I don't even want to think where I might be without him. I highly recommend him.
