Cannot recommend Paul enough. I have been getting Acupuncture treatments for 9 months and the transformation has been amazing. I turned to Paul after Western Medicine offered no solutions and couldn't be happier. read more

I called Above & Beyond Acupuncture after contracting Bell's Palsy. Paul immediately texted and called me back to start treatment to help heal my condition. He was supportive, kind and extremely caring to me ,as I was devastated and very emotional after diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. I believe the treatment helped to heal me. In addition, I was supported at home with additional therapy and advice to advance the process to restore my paralyzed face. Do not hesitate to hire Paul to help in your healing journey . read more

Cynthia is amazing at what she does. She helped me work through one of the most difficult times in my life. Physical pain is usually a sign of emotions stuck in the body and she was one of the outlets that helped me release these pains. Thank you Cynthia! read more

In response to the owners message: The fact that you advise me to get the "emotional help" that I "need" tells me you continue to take no accountability for your actions, instead choosing to assume I have some emotional issue I need to deal with and not a legitimate concern. Advising me to get "physical help" puts the onus again on me, as you have not provided me with any serious guidance as to what kind of physical help I should be seeking out. I have been to nerve specialists, that I found on my own, and I have paid out of pocket for that. Your statement that you did everything possible to help us untrue - the only help you offered was a refund and a topical pain killer. Since my nerve still hasn't healed, I feel obligated to warn people about your practice. Paul, your response was just another one of your perfect examples of gaslighting, and it is very much not appreciated or helpful. read more

I am WOWED!! I called on a Sunday to leave a message, but my phone rang prior to leaving a message and I had to take the call as a priority. Obviously I didn't expect an answer on a Sunday. I planned to leave a message for someone to call me on Monday to answer my questions. I got a text immediately after hanging up versus leaving a message! Impressive indeed!!! We texted back and forth for a bit (on a SUNDAY) and I realized that this guy TRULY cares about, obviously his patients based on the many positive reviews, and strangers too!!! Thank you for taking the time to help me on a Sunday!! I don't recommend bothering him on a Sunday, but I do recommend contacting him to help you, because he truly cares and wants to help!!! read more

Cupping therapy was much more intense than I expected! It gives you the same (if not better) results as a deep tissue massage in a fraction of the time. If you have tension in your back, this will help release it for sure. My upper back/shoulders experienced the biggest difference. Paul can find all your problem areas and focus on them... you might be surprised. See the pic I posted my personal results and check him out. read more

Above & Beyond Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I've been working with Paul at Above & Beyond Acupuncture for the past few years and can say without question that he's one of the most dedicated healthcare practitioners I've ever met. Not only is he an extremely talented acupuncturist, he makes every effort to provide the best service and care for all of his patients. Every time I leave his clinic I feel so much better and am deeply thankful for his expertise. He has helped me in so many ways, I recommend/refer him to those people who I feel would benefit from his services. read more

Wow!!!!! I am so impressed with Paul and the cupping service I received. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but I am so pleased with it I will sure to be back soon for acupuncture and cupping! The room where you first walk in is super calming and it smells amazing. It really puts you at ease! Paul was also very knowledgable and helped me understand the process and the benefits it has. I have some tension in my upper back/shoulder area, and he really hit the spot. It was honestly more intense than I was expecting, and it hurt a little bit, but in a good way! It's like a deep tissue massage but faster. He moved the cups around on my back so they didn't stay in one place for very long, except on my problem areas. He let the cups sit on my main problem area for a few minutes at a time, and let me tell ya, I felt the relief almost right away! I will 100% be back. It was a wonderful experience! read more

Above & Beyond Acupuncture - My back post-cupping therapy. It feels great!!! - Acupuncture Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Well I wish I would have checked others reviews before coming here. As soon as I opened the door someone ran over to me and told me "you clearly have the wrong office" before I could even speak. WTF and then he proceeded to escort me out before I even had a foot in the door. Outside of this poor attitude there it seems like something fishy is going on in this office to act that way... I definitely agree with others reviews of ensuring no one I know comes here. read more

Never come to this place. We walked in and were immediately told to leave without any explanation. We tried to call and there was no answer. Reason why we stopped by. Got wet on a rainy day and the gentleman was completely careless and rude. If you are with a client, close the door and put a sign. Be courteous. Be kind. You lost 2 clients by just telling us: "Please leave...". Very bad first impression. I believe the owner is the one with the attitude. I will certainly spread the word, so no one gets treated as we did. read more

I was in town for business and my lower back started acting up. I've been dealing with chronic low back pain for a few years now and have been told acupuncture can help. So I found Above & Beyond Acupuncture on Yelp and decided to get it a try since I was in so much pain. I'm very happy I did as I was able to get significant relief right away. Paul (the acupuncturist) was extremely professional and attentive. He listened to me explain my issues and addressed them promptly. I was blown away by the reduction in pain as I went from a 8/10 down to a 2/10 right after the treatment. When I'm back in town I definitely plan on getting another treatment. Acupuncture works, I'm living proof! read more

I was skeptical about acupuncture when I first heard about it, but oh my. It's been around 2 months since my first visit and I can confidently say coming here was the best decision I could have possibly made in my life. Both Paul and his acupuncture treatment has helped me in ways I could not imagine. I've been able to think more clearly and live more happily, and I most certainly would not be where I am mentally right now if I had not met Paul. Highly recommend trying this out. It opens up a new perspective to life in the most positive manner possible. Will continue to return as I gain new knowledge and insight each time I go! read more

If you are looking for a world-class acupuncture service this is the place to be. You don't just come in and get acupuncture and leave and that's the end of it. Paul will sit down with you and ask you about your background to see what is happening in your life. I came in and I had a allergy problem in which my sinuses were filled and was causing head pain. Paul identified that I had been eating a lot of highly inflammatory foods and that my body was not in good shape. He recommend a juicing routine as well as switching my diet to one that is not so high in gluten and dairy products. He also spoke to me about the practice of mindfulness and meditation. My sinus issues completely went away. I started drinking the juice every morning and also limited my diet to less foods that have gluten and dairy products. I also started practicing mindfulness. I became a very happy and healthy person. I have been coming to see Paul almost weekly for the last six months. It is a great opportunity to chat about what is happening in my life and he gives you a lot of positive spiritual direction. Paul is a very spiritually wise person who puts a great perspective on life. The treatments that I usually get are the acupuncture and the cupping. At first the cupping is really painful especially if you do the running cupping. But as you loosen up over time kind of like a piece of meat gets tenderized. It becomes very enjoyable the more often you do it. The acupuncture is amazing too. Paul then dim the lights and put on some relaxing meditation music or perhaps a guided meditation that you can enjoy while receiving the acupuncture. When you walk into his clinic it is very clean and smells good with nice essential oil's. Paul is really a great guy. I feel like he genuinely cares about you. Paul is not only my acupuncturist but I consider him a friend. I have not been to other acupuncture clinic but I highly doubt you get the level of service that you do at this one. Just look at his other reviews. There is a reason why everybody speaks so highly of Paul. I highly recommend it and get it out there and do it ASAP. You will not regret it. read more

Walked into the business today to ask a few questions and inquire if the process would help my condition. I just walked through the door, the door behind me didn't even close yet, a gentleman runs out of a back room and immediately tells me to leave. It appears he was with a client. Generally, businesses put up a sign indicating if they are open or not. I would never go back. Did not feel welcome in any way whatsoever. read more

Let me be the first to say that I didn't really believe much in acupuncture or cupping therapy. I was training for a marathon and decided to do a long run the night before I came to Arizona on a business trip. This was definitely a bad idea since I had to sit on a plane for hours on a business trip to AZ. By the time I had arrived, I was already in pain with a pulled muscle in my back. I couldn't find a massage therapist nearby so I decided to give this place a try. I met with someone named Paul who walked me through cupping. I told him that I had never had it done but I would be willing to try anything to get rid of this pain. I can only describe the experience in one word....awesome! I've had deep tissue massages which help but border on painful. This was still intense, but the results came pretty quickly. The tight muscle in my back started to loosen up as he moved the cups around. I am now a believer!!! I should be back in AZ in a few months and will definitely be back to try the acupuncture. read more

I decided to give acupuncture a try for chronic lower back pain after having tried physical therapy, a chiropractor and even a spinal cortisone injection. Not surprisingly, my first visit started with discussion on what I was there for, what I had tried, how was I feeling, etc, followed by my first cupping and acupuncture experience. It has been about a year that I have been seeing Paul, and still every visit starts with a chat about how I am feeling, both physically and mentally, then both cupping and acupuncture. While most visits are to work on my lower back, there have been many times where the treatment has also been for other emergent issues (physical and mental) and I always have improvement by the next day. If you are looking for a practitioner who really takes the time and effort each and every visit, I highly recommend Above and Beyond Acupuncture. read more

I highly recommend Above & Beyond Acupuncture. Paul truly cares about his patients wellbeing. He is very knowledgeable and passionate. This is the best communication I had with any Health Provider. He truly listens and goes above and beyond. He recommended I use some some tools I got in Amazon and made some simple changes in my home/office that have made a huge difference for me. Look no further! read more

I had a great experience with Paul, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for acupuncture in the valley of the sun. Paul took the time to get to know my situation before we started, and he has a style all of his own, which I found to be one of the most comfortable and relaxing acupuncture experiences I've had. I found his acupuncture treatment to be very effective in relieving shoulder pain from a recent swimming injury, as well as sinus relief from the pollen in the air in the spring. I think Paul does a great job, clearing caring for each of his clients, and providing them with 5-star service. Highly Recommended. read more

My first cupping session with Paul was by far, the most effective I've ever had. I'm already feeling more mobility in my shoulder and neck. My back muscles feel somehow lighter and more fluid. I am returning next week for a follow up appointment complete with acupuncture. I cannot wait! I'll report back on that. read more

Above & Beyond Acupuncture - This was by far, the best cupping therapy I've ever had (no offense to my friends and colleagues in healing practices). I feel like a badass - Acupuncture Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I have nothing negative to say about Paul, in my book he's good to go. I've been coming here for sometime. His level of professionalism, insight, and empathy. Aside with being able to see a 3rd point of view on his patients i.e (understanding) he has helped me with my own challenges. By providing feed back and suggestions. The man is really passionate about helping people with his craft and very knowledgable. Thank you Paul. read more

I have had chronic right hip pain that has gotten increasingly worse over the last couple of years. It's gotten so that it keeps me from sleeping comfortably at night. I'm a firm believer in alternative medicine and have had chiropractic treatments throughout my life. I've also had structural integration work and deep massages. Everything I've tried has only given me temporary relief that wouldn't last. I haven't found anything that has worked like the accupuncture treatments I've had at Above and Beyond! I've only had 4 treatments but felt improvement a day or two after the first treatment. I've continued to feel improvement with each treatment. Paul has also made a couple of recommendations for things I could do to help the healing process I've found his suggestions to be very helpful. Paul is very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him as a very effective practitioner. read more

Paul has truly found his calling. I have been to many acupuncturists and he is by far the best. He takes his time with me to fully understand what I am trying to accomplish during my appointment and I always leave feeling like I spent the day at the spa. Refreshed, renewed and grounded! read more

I've been seeing Paul for almost a year now and it has been wonderful! I go in with all this stress and tension and leave feeling more open and calmer. Cupping and acupuncture have immensely helped my life and keeps me at a more relaxed state. Such a welcoming environment to be in. If you are someone who holds a lot of stress in your body, Paul is able to detect the areas that are needed to be fixed and aligned properly so you can leave feeling much better. I will keep going back! read more

Paul came highly recommended by my chiropractor to assist me with some serious inflammatory issues. We worked together to get to the nitty gritty in order to bring my mind, body and spirit back into balance. Paul recommended some immediate changes to my diet while adding supplements to better support me. Even though I felt pain relief in just one session, regularly supporting my system with acupuncture has been life-changing for me over the past eight weeks or so. Some of the fire in my personality needed extinguishing and I truly believe acupuncture was the only way to reach it. As I continue on my path with Paul, I feel certain I'll continue to flourish. I am grateful to him. read more

I have suffered from severe depression and anxiety for over a decade. I have sought help from medication, religion and psychiatry but nothing seemed sufficient until someone recommended a more holistic approach with acupuncture. I chose to make an appointment with Paul at Above & Beyond Acupuncture after researching reviews on Yelp. Reviewer's remarks are spot on. As a L.Ac. (Licensed Acupuncturist) Paul is extremely talented in his trade, but I've discovered that treatment extends beyond the table. All sessions begin with a brief "sit down" discussion reviewing your progress and addressing any additional problems that may have I surfaced. Above & Beyond Acupuncture is appropriately named because as a practitioner Paul does exactly that. Aside from my acupuncture treatments Paul has prescribed holistic herbs that I have benefitted from, has researched and recommended articles related to my condition, and often, will even shoot off a short text between sessions just to check in and see how I'm feeling. Since I've sought out acupuncture both friends and family have commented on noticeable positive changes within me and I can only attribute the dramatic difference to the addition of acupuncture. The treatments I've received at Above & Beyond Acupuncture have equipped me with tools that I'm no longer just surviving with depression and anxiety, I'm thriving. read more

I've been going to Paul at Above & Beyond Acupuncture every Saturday for the past 2 months. Prior to going to Above & Beyond, I had been to numerous doctors to see why I was having stomach issues and to see what they could do to help with it as well as some anxiety and stress related issues. I was a little hesitant with acupuncture, as this was my first time trying it. The experience has exceeded any preconceived expectation I had of what it would be and feel like. While the doctors I saw looked to stop the symptoms, Paul has worked with me to actually cure the underlying issues. I will say I have a holistic bias so I was much more open to the idea of using acupuncture as an alternative than some others might be. Along with the acupuncture, we have also done cupping. I highly recommend if it meets your specific needs and goals (don't be scared of the bruises). What to expect: The first consultation you will go over what issues you have be having and dive into what they may stem from. Paul will listen and give feedback when necessary. After going over these, you're on the acupuncture table. He will choose the points that are suited for your specific needs. The needles are very thin and you barely feel them. On a pain scale of 1-10, I would give them a 0.25 when being inserted and a 0 when you have them in. Once they are in, Paul will shut the lights off and leave the room to allow you to relax. The first time I will admit that it felt a little weird laying there but when it's all over, you feel light, uplifted, and nostalgic. After the first session, you are more relaxed about the process and can go into deeper meditative states. At least that's what I use the silence and time away from the world for. Each week, Paul will discuss your progress and get an idea of how you feel, what's working, what's not, and where to focus on. All in all, I would say it has been a great experience and it is well worth it. read more

Appropriately named! I am new to the area and had an impinged nerve that was causing me great pain. Paul was extremely accommodating and flexible on scheduling me in for an emergency appointment. Although I have not taken advantage of the full range of services offered, I can speak to the customer care and the quality of the treatment I received. Paul obviously knows well and practices the wisdom and ethics of traditional Chinese medicine. My treatment used both local and distal points and was able to provide almost immediate relief that lasted a few days. Paul also had helpful supportive suggestions for me, to aid in the healing process. I have visited several acupuncturists in my lifetime and would rate Above and Beyond Acupuncture in the top three for quality of care, and compassion of care. - be prepared to complete a multi page comprehensive history exploring many levels of health and wellness. The cost of the initial visit is $130. Treatments may be purchased individually or as packages, bringing the cost per treatment. Personally I find the prices a bit high; however this is in comparison to service in other cities; not to other local acupuncturists. Regardless, I have no hesitation in recommending Paul and Above and Beyond Acupuncture. read more

Today I had my 3rd appointment with Paul and thought I should share my experience. I'll begin by saying I've been to acupuncturists in the past, 3 exactly, over the course of 15 years. Until this past month I hadn't been to one since 2008. Soooo, I've been suffering from a great deal of back pain for a long time and recently decided I've had enough and need to feel better. I began seeing a chiropractor once a week and decided to supplement that with acupuncture (my chiropractor is a HUGE fan too). Anyway, what a tremendous improvement. WOW. I'm rarely impressed, and I'm happy to say, I AM VERY IMPRESSED. To start, Paul will consult with you to assess the problem/s. He is a great listener and so easy to open up to and be honest with, there is no judgement in that room. He will then begin the treatment, which for me has been acupuncture followed by cupping for the back pain. He also provided an herbal treatment that I drink 3 times a day and it actually tastes good! Along with that he has given some nutrition advice and reading recommendations. I truly feel as though he is treating my whole person and not just masking a problem with a temporary solution. I plan to keep him as my acupuncturist for as long as I live in the same state. And if I move, I'll schedule appointments when I come back for a visit! Lastly, Paul mentioned his specialty is emotional issues, anxiety, depression, etc... I cannot even explain to you how happy and uplifted I felt after our 2nd visit. If I didn't feel it for myself I wouldn't have believed it was possible. He truly has a gift and I cannot recommend him enough. read more

I am not a believer of magical potions or fairy dust or flying carpets... Acupuncture and chiropractors were on that same list for me until last week! My mother (48)who suffers from a L4-L5 herniation had an episode of sciatica accompanied by acute muscle spasms. The combination rendered her completely immobile. Prescriptive medication (flexerill, toridol, prednisone) did nothing. After exhausting every possible option, I remembered that there was a new acupuncturist by where I work. It was a hail marry, but we had nothing to lose. I called Paul at above and beyond mid Monday afternoon, described the situation and requested a house call. His response was music to my ears "sure, I finish at 730 here I can be there by 8". Upon arrival he was very professional, short meet and greet, and got to work. I noticed the high attention to patient comfort as well as practice of strict sanitation throughout the visit. Needless to say mom slept that night for the first time in 3 days & was walking the next morning. Above all his skill and knowledge, Paul is an easy person to be around. Very real, very calm, & down to earth. If there ever was a person that was perfect for a profession it would be Paul Kerzner for acupuncture. read more

I came to Paul for reason I thought were why I was having trouble. During my visits, Paul's insight, intuition, and knowledge of acupuncture, supplements, and cupping brought out/up many different views that I had and didn't even realize it. Through my various treatments, Paul listened, stopped me when I went on tangents, and helped me process things that came up. I liked his approach and appreciated his input. I would highly recommend him to anyone and have done so through my family and friends. read more

I've been seeing different acupuncturists for the past six years, and I'm quite happy with the service and support I got from Paul at Above & Beyond. The private rooms and personal approach were amazing. Paul is a great listener and clearly cared for my health. The ambience of the room was quite special. I trust Paul Kerzner for acupuncture, and would come back again. read more

Paul does an excellent job. I came in for cupping due to an injured shoulder and tight back muscles. He really knows his stuff and seeks to improve your condition. I highly recommend Above & Beyond, I came out feeling markedly and significantly better than when I came in. First cupping experience and I will be back if I can! read more

By far the best cupping I have ever received! Due to my job I am slouched over constantly which causes my back to hurt and feel tight all the time. My back was in really bad pain before my appt. After my cupping session I was very sore for a day and a half but once the soreness went away I couldn't believe how great my back felt! Paul recommend I go 4 more times and I'll definitely be back. Thank you so much! read more

I've been in to see Paul on numerous occasions, each visit better than the last. When I first went into see Paul, he took the time to get to know everything about me: my diet, my lifestyle, my habits, my personal interests, everything. Since that first visit, Paul has been able to pinpoint my trouble areas and open my mind to a completely different world of health and well being. I feel like a different person after seeing Paul so many times and I can truly say he has changed my life for the better. I have and will continue to recommend Paul and his wonderful facility to clients, coworkers, friends, and family. If you've ever been skeptical about acupuncture or are just looking for a new way to relax and refocus, Paul is your guy and Above and Beyond Acupuncture is your place! read more

My experience here has been profound. Very thankful to have found someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Paul

I flew back into Scottsdale Wednesday evening and had a killer headache. My back and neck were sore from the flight and I just wasn't feeling well. I contacted Paul as soon as I landed and he told me to come in right away even though it was 7pm. Who else would do that? After my treatment I felt great. Headache was gone. Neck/shoulder/back feel amazing. If you're in the Scottsdale area you have to check out Above & Beyond Acupuncture, I highly recommend it. read more

One word: PHENOMENAL!!! Paul is extremely helpful and he has changed my life for the better!! At first I was a sceptic, then I experienced extreme lower back pain from a herniated/compressed disk. I booked my first appointment after my friend referred me, she practically insisted it would change my life, she was right!!! He is so genuinely interested in helping you heal and so great at his work!!! After my very first session which runs approximately 1 hr, Paul asked me how I felt. To my surprise I felt reenergized with a large surge of energy that has lasted months!!! I felt rested and thought the entire experience of accupuncture & cupping was magical!!! The pain went away completely after my very first visit!!! *Anyone who isn't so sure to try out accupuncture, I promise to you...it does beyond wonders!!! I have referred my family members and I recommend Paul to my co workers!!! Why suffer when Paul can help you heal and feel like a super star!! Thank you so much Paul for helping me and for your expertise, I am back to my old self again!!! You are amazing!!! :) I am very grateful for all your help!!! read more

Paul was great! I had the cupping done on my back, and wow! It was intense and really seemed to get more results in less time, which is great when you are busy. Paul was very calm and passes that energy on in his session. Very knowledgeable and explains what and why he is doing each step of the way. Go ahead and get cupped! read more

I have been a firm believer in acupuncture and cupping for many years. I have struggled to find a practice that takes the time to get to know who you are and what your needs are. I dabbled with the Joint and Modern Acupuncture and found their experience to be impersonal and unhealthy. Paul is a pro at analyzing your needs and what you need to be working on to feel your absolute best. He takes his time to understand your current health and needs, he suggests ways to improve your life outside of your sessions, and provides a calming atmosphere where you can unwind from the stress of the day. If you are looking for an amazing educational and healing experience and to improve your overall health this is the place to go! I would highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Above & Beyond Acupuncture--it's the perfect name for this clinic. If you are truly ready to begin a healing journey, whether it is due to emotional or physical pain (or both!), I highly recommend Paul to help you find your way. This experience has been SO much more than just acupuncture. Paul will provide you with many tools to use to heal outside of the clinic. I wasn't really prepared for all of the extra help, but I can't express how grateful I have felt to have all of these extra methods of self-healing. I have been exposed to so many other types of healing as well through his podcast called 'Are You Being Present?' (which is great, seriously, go listen), which has piqued my interest in pursuing multiple healing therapies that I believe can work synergistically to provide even deeper healing when combined. Paul spoke to me for a decent amount of time at the beginning of each session to peer into my life and try to pinpoint where my pain was really coming from. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have had chronic neck and shoulder pain for over ten years. I have also had depression and anxiety since I was 14 (age 27 now). After all of the treatments and medications I have tried, I never thought that maybe I was holding onto a lot of negativity and pain from the past in various parts of my body (which can manifest as inflammation). So by telling Paul in detail what is going on in my life, he will customize the acupuncture to fit my current needs. I have experienced improvement with digestion, shoulder and neck pain, my headaches and migraines have reduced drastically, and my depression and anxiety are starting to melt away. I think this is both due to the acupuncture and also incorporating tools such as meditation into my life (which has been such a blessing that I now meditate for 20 minutes twice a day). He also provides cupping therapy which I am interested in trying when my body's inflammation starts to subside a little more. I was in a place in life where I needed to start making changes or everything I was feeling would eventually swallow me whole. Paul has really challenged me to be very honest with myself. Before I met him I didn't even realize how badly my anxiety was affecting my mindset, my energy, my attitude, and even other people. I was constantly either reliving and resenting my past or conjuring up horrible scenarios or worrying about my future. I was never in the present. And I mean never. I remember one particularly challenging conversation that I believe now to be a turning point in my healing journey. Paul pointed me in the direction to some blog posts he had written about reframing, self-depreciating humor, and how inner speak can affect our health. Almost everything that poured out of my mouth had a negative spin on it, and I just wasn't being kind to myself. Becoming present and living in the moment is something I have worked on every minute since I met Paul. I'm not sure I would have made some of these connections without his help. I am feeling the changes and I am being the change that I have wanted and needed in my life for years. I originally bought a 5-week package of treatments and just finished today, but I will be seeing him next week to start our next 5-weeks. I still feel like I have much to learn from him, and having someone's help to this degree is transforming my life into something wonderful. And to experience SO much healing in just five weeks when my depression, anxiety, and joint problems have been lifelong just amazes me. I used to view life in black and white. But now I'm seeing in color. :) read more
