If I could do zero stars I would. I had a really upsetting…read moreexperience at this acupuncture clinic. I came in seeking help for a chronic illness that affected my tonsils--something I had been dealing with long before the pandemic. However, shortly after businesses started reopening, I visited this clinic, hoping to try Chinese medicine after exhausting my options with Western medicine. Instead of being met with care or professionalism, the acupuncturist immediately started yelling at me to leave, insisting that my condition was a COVID symptom. I tried to explain that this was a long-standing issue unrelated to the pandemic, but he refused to listen, aggressively pointing at the door and continuing to yell. His wife just sat there, stunned and silent, making no effort to de-escalate the situation. What makes this even worse is that they are the only two workers there, and it's clear that she is either too afraid or unwilling to say anything when he lashes out like that. It felt completely unprofessional and uncomfortable. I understand that people were still on edge after COVID, but the way I was treated was uncalled for. A healthcare provider should at least take a moment to listen before jumping to conclusions and treating a potential patient so disrespectfully. If you're looking for a compassionate and understanding practitioner, I'd recommend going elsewhere.

I have chronic lower back pain stemming from a number of things, including hereditary idiopathic…read morescoliosis, disc desiccation, and facet arthropathy, and I have tried several different avenues of treatment for it, acupuncture being one of them. I did do one procedure a few years ago from an acupuncturist who worked out of the offices of Lags Spine and Sportscare, a pain management clinic that has since been closed down due to insurance fraud and patient abuse. That was a terrible experience, where the acupuncturist was very rough and the table she had me lay on was very hard and uncomfortable, and it kind of soured my opinion of acupuncture in general. But eventually I did want to give it another shot and see if I could find a better acupuncturist, when I was talking about it with a new primary care physician I am seeing and she assured me that that type of experience was certainly not typical. She referred me to this place, so I gave it a shot, and it was definitely not a terrible experience like I had at the other place, but after having consistent sessions every two weeks for months, I just can't really say that it had much of an effect on me. The office was very clean and calm and serene, the soft music they play and the decor and the heat lamps all created a nice and peaceful and warm atmosphere, the receptionist was always friendly and helpful, and the doctor was very adept at what he was doing. I'm just not sure that what he was doing was accomplishing anything. Maybe it works for some people. Maybe my condition just isn't responsive to this kind of treatment. I don't know. But after a certain point I felt like I was just wasting time. The doctor did tell me a couple times that I need more treatments, but my insurance only covers 2 sessions a month, so I literally couldn't do any more than I was doing. He also very adamantly told me that I must rest after the treatments, for a couple days at least, that it was very important for letting the treatment work, and suggested that if I wasn't feeling any better from the treatments then it was because I wasn't resting well enough after the treatments, but the thing is, I was. I wasn't doing any strenuous activities for a good couple days after each treatment. There was also a couple appointments where I had gotten a referral from my PCP to work on a pain and tightness in my calf that I had been experiencing, which I was also referred to physical therapy for, so we did that instead of the back, and he informed me during the treatment that he was going to use an "older technique" or something like that, where after the needles had been in for the regular period of time, instead of just taking them out and that was that, he took them out and then reinserted a couple of them for just a quick period of time. I'm not sure about this. I was left basically unable to walk or put pressure on my leg at all for a day or two after that. It did not help, it made the tightness worse. So I opted to stop doing that and just go back to the back treatments for awhile. But yeah, eventually, I just felt like those weren't really doing anything, so I stopped going. So yeah, maybe it might work for you. Different people respond to different treatments. At least unlike that other acupuncturist, you won't be roughed up and you won't have to lay on a hard, uncomfortable table with barely any cushioning. So I guess it's at least worth giving it a shot if you are in the market for an acupuncturist. Just, if he says he wants to use that "older technique" on you, my advice would be to just limit it to the standard treatment.

But it has to do with mental health so I'll share! Dr. Sam ALWAYS takes the time to talk and check in with me very patiently. He makes time to not only find the right treatments for me, but he also takes time to talk to me about coping skills that can also be helpful when done concurrently with medications. There have been times when my pharmacist or my insurance was giving me a hard time. During those incidents, Dr. Sam and the rest of the LAGS office team worked with me with a very optimistic attitude, and patiently went back and forth with my insurance/pharmacists and helped resolve the issues. I really appreciate the level of empathy and professionalism everyone exhibits at this facility, and how available and helpful everyone is. When it comes to mental health, having a support system that you can trust and count on, really matters. For me, Dr. Sam and the LAGS team are a big part of this support system.

In which I need daily sessions for weeks, need to buy his foam roller and stretching tool, etc. I ask, will I be able to get itemized bills for these services? He explains they don't have enough office staff to give me an itemized bill, but that's how much it will cost. Very strange. I was able to find a normal chiropractor who takes my insurance instead in town.
