The best American acupuncturists. Meredith and Julie are amazing. I'll travel a couple of hours just to work with them. read more

My experience with Acupuncture Advantage started with hope but unfortunately ended in shock and disappointment. I originally started going there because of their sliding scale program after relocating from California and trying to find an affordable and healing place to manage my migraines and stress. For a while, I believed I had found a compassionate environment. A couple of years ago, I had a very upsetting experience with Julie Shen. During an appointment she asked what I wanted treated and I mentioned stress relief and a "reset" (a term I believed she had previously used). She abruptly became dismissive, denied ever saying that, spoke to me in a rude tone, and ultimately refused to treat me. I left in tears. Despite how hurt I felt, I chose not to leave a negative review because I respected the clinic. Meredith Vorath was aware of this situation and she was actually the one who suggested I switch providers. After that I began seeing Sara, who has been nothing but kind, ethical, professional, and truly passionate about her work. I never had any issues with Sara and always felt respected and cared for as a patient. Recently, while suffering from a severe migraine, I scheduled the first available appointment simply because I was in pain. To be completely honest, I had forgotten about the incident from two years ago and was just trying to get relief. Instead of care, I received a message that Julie would not treat me, followed by an email stating my patient rights had been revoked entirely. What hurt the most was the threatening tone stating that authorities would be called if I showed up. This was extremely distressing considering I had done nothing wrong except try to seek treatment for migraine pain. I immediately tried to reach Meredith to understand what I had supposedly done. I left two voicemails and sent multiple emails asking for a simple explanation. I never received a response. Being ignored like I never existed after being a patient there was incredibly painful. What makes this situation even more confusing is that Julie and I had previously been on friendly terms and had even shared meals outside of the clinic. The sudden escalation without communication feels unfair and unnecessary. I truly believed this was a compassionate healing space. I especially believed Meredith was a fair and understanding leader based on past interactions. Being disregarded without even a conversation changed my entire impression. Patients deserve communication, fairness, and compassion -- especially when they are simply seeking help for pain. I hope management reflects on how situations like this are handled so no other patient experiences this kind of emotional distress. read more

Great acupuncture office community style but great care in a comfy recliner or private practice bed. First visit has a small charge for intake. She also does the methyl form vitamin b12 and the live blood analysis. Nice overall experience. She is located right on military trail. Give it a try. read more

I had my first acupuncture appointment yesterday with Miriam. She went over with me on my history and provided very great information. Miriam understood my concerns of needles and she would tell me when she was putting another one on me. It did help me feel understood and relaxed. Overall, I was very pleased with the office and Miriam. I have already set up appointments for the month of May. read more

I have been going to this place for over a month, twice a week. I have had 3 spine surgeries and a hip replacement. My right foot has neuropathy and I have chronic back pain . Julie is so knowledgeable and does explain what she is trying to correct. I would wake up in the morning so stiff that I found it hard to walk. Now I'm just slightly stiff and without back pain. The neuropathy will never go away 100% but I feel that this is helping me. Very friendly, clean and the price is right. This will make me keep on going. So easy to get an appointment on line also. I am a believer!! read more

Always my go to acupuncture center just because I always get better fast! I'm not a medication person and always choose Acuponcture first read more

Accupuncture Advantage is a community style clinic with a sliding scale payment option for treatments. On the first visit a consultation determines the course of treatment. During the course of several visits I experienced two of the three practitioners on staff. The procedures were expertly and gently administered in a private room. I rested for 30 to 45 minutes and then the needles were removed. After the first treatment I experienced good relaxation and a sense of calm. I will continue to receive treatments as the positive effects build. I highly recommend this acupuncture clinic. read more

Acupuncture Advantage of Delray Beach. Friendly, professional and affordable not much more to say. read more

Acupuncture Advantage has helped me build up my immune system and as helped with my TMJ neck and back issues. They take all insurances and you can pay whatever you like ; so it is affordable for everyone. I look forward to going every winter when I return to Florida from New York. I have not found an acupuncturist in New York that is as good as the Accupuncturist at Acupuncture Advantage. I highly recommend it to anybody that wants to build their immune system and has health issues. read more

Professional,caring and comfortable...can't beat the price or the level of service! Thanks for everything!

They are excellent, the only downfall is you have to schedule your next appointment on line only. I often forget, then I lose the date and time slot. read more

I discovered Acupuncture Advantage while visiting Florida (I live in California) and was in need of an acupuncture treatment. Back home, I go to a community acupuncture clinic so I Googled "community acupuncture Florida" and found the wonderful women healers at Acupuncture Advantage. Meredith and Sara have been my lifesavers while on my frequent trips to Florida and have helped me with issues that no one else was able to... I had full range of motion from a painful rotator cuff injury in one treatment. Now, I don't promise that everything will be healed in one session -- acupuncture takes time -- but that was particularly miraculous. Three thumbs up for the care that Sara and Meredith have given me. read more

I have been to several acupuncturists, so when I went to Acupuncture Advance in Boynton Beach, I thought I new what to expect. What I didn't expect was their awesome pricing and the community setting but I was so relaxed that it didn't matter that others were in the same room. There were several others the room. Everyone lays on a very comfortable, reclining float chair and they offer blankets to cover with if you want. Next time I may bring an iPod and ear buds to zone out easier with my own music. The room is very spa-like with a relaxing Zen atmosphere. Meredith has a very relaxing, healing touch. She is very quick in needle placement and the whole treatment was painless. I look forward to my next treatment with Meredith. If you are looking for results from an expert in Acupuncture Medicine, look no further! Also, my personal opinion is...that because it IS a treatment and their prices are dirt cheep, I would tip the therapist just as you would a facial or massage as she is performing a treatment. read more

Meredith is deft with her needles. Does her regular acupuncture points but also takes the time to look for specific areas that are bothering me. read more

I've been coming here since Linda owned it. The treatment is so relaxing that I fall asleep. If you need a customized treatment ask for Peter. He's the best one there! I stopped for a while but I think I'm going to start going back. The service is sliding fee and very affordable. read more

I have been going for treatments for over a year. My pain level have decreased to over 95%. The acupuncturists are very knowledgeable. The fee schedule is very fair. It is a casual environment. No office people to deal with. All appointments are done online. read more

I love Acupuncture Advantage. I've been going for 12 years - through different locations and owners. I love the Delray location. There is parking in front of the office. Everything is very safe for covid. Meredith and Sara are both amazing. They listen and can help with almost any issue - migraines, sinus pressure, allergies, anxiety, sleep, hormonal issues, cramps, immunity boosting. They have high quality B12 injections and Engystol injections that boost immunity. I've taken many friends who have seen relief from treatment. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. I highly recommend Acupuncture Advantage. read more

I an so glad to have found this place. I have been seeing Meredith throughout my pregnancy.

I wouldn't have been able to afford this treatment anyplace else. It truly is amazing to experience this type to healing at an affordable price. read more

COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE!! TRY THIS PLACE. I was so glad to find a community acupuncture place in Boca that is run by a skilled and kind practitioner, Garrett. I have used a community acupuncture practice before in Cambridge, MA and for me it is the only way I can afford to get acupuncture as frequently as I need/want it. Garrett is: kind, caring, welcoming, efficient and VERY skilled at acupuncture. I had not slept-well in over three months and the night after my first treatment--I slept like a baby for almost 9 hours. The office: convenient, comfortable, clean with easy on street parking. The "community" style of acupuncture means that all patients are treated in the same room. Each patient sits back in their own easy chair. Everyone keeps their clothes on (of course) and the needles are placed distally--on your hands, arms and lower legs. I wore yoga pants and a short sleeve t-shirt and that was perfect. We are going back on Monday. Highly recommended! read more

I first found him on yelp and decided to try this place last summer when I was having pain in lower back, shoulders and neck. As everyone says here, he is great! His pricing structure helps and let me to go back for several treatments until the pain goes away unlike other places. I stopped going here after a few treatments when my pain went away. After a half year, my shoulders got so tense (from long hours of sitting) and I was having bad pain one day so I quickly made an appointment with him online and saw him during the lumch break on the same day. His 1 hour treatment significantly released the pain. I will always come back to Garrett whenever I need acupuncture tratments. Making appointment online is very easy. Even if he is completely booked, he is nice enough to make his schedule work for you as much as his time allows. read more

I used to go there when Linda was there and then Garret. The last time I went with the new owners, they stuck me wrong and then left me screaming in the room; it was terrifying. I'm afraid to go back now and I used to love it there. read more

UPDATED January 8, 2014 - This is an update from our review from 2 years ago. Acupuncture-Advantage continues to be just excellent for the two of us. We've had a lot of life challenges that could have sacked us and having an affordable healthcare option like this is invaluable. Last Fall, acupuncture specialist Garrett Krause took over Linda Giorgio's practice (and she went off to get married). Although different than Linda, he is every bit as good and - if it's possible - has energized this place even more. Garrett has been great for us for treating depression, back issues and low energy thus far. If chronic back pain is a reality for you...and you're adventurous, ask Garrett about "cupping". My partner uses it in conjunction with his acupuncture treatments. ### Okay - Acupuncture Advantage is a major find. We came down from MA on 11/1 for the season after several months of severe back and neck pain. Linda is an expert and definitely not a one-size-fits-all practitioner. In 3 weeks we have had dramatic reductions in pain and major increases in energy and our feelings of well-being. The Community Acupuncture "voluntary fee sliding scale business model" makes it possible for us to get two treatments a week and heal. Just awesome. We can't wait to be making more money again, because we want to be able to pay Linda top-of-scale. She is well worth it. read more

Left this clinic today feeling good! Dr. Krause is very nice and knowledgeable. He seems very passionate about helping people at an affordable rate which is a blessing. The needles didn't even hurt when he inserted them in. The treatment room has is very relaxing and the recliner chair are sooo comfy. Very clean office. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Great place really helped me get over my pain in my nerves, Peter is really great but there on Saturdays only, but the rest of the staff is extremely friendly, Danielle is really good too, highly recommend them read more

Linda is an amazing acupuncturist! She combines an amazing talent for pinpointing your most distressing symptoms (no pun intended) with a compassion unrivaled in the field. Linda has the ability to make you feel well cared for while providing you with incredibly effective treatment. Finding an acupuncturist can be a very personal quest. If you want someone who is kind, nurturing, and intuitive while still being adept at the profession, Linda is your gal! read more

Meredith who bought this practice is just as wonderful as Garret the previous owner was. I am so grateful to have her as my acupuncturist. She is highly skilled and compassionate. Acupuncture has helped me in so many ways. Many times it has helped me move through a cold much faster than I would otherwise. I also take the herbs prescribed. Community acupuncture is a blessing because it makes acupuncture accessible to more people. read more

Getting treated at Acupuncture Advantage has changed my life. Linda has been treating me for anxiety, which I've been dealing with the past 18 years. After each treatment, it got better, and now it is totally gone. I don't feel anxious or nervous anymore, and I can fall asleep at night without any problem. Besides this, Linda is a caring, giving person and makes you feel very comfortable at each treatment. She makes the treatments very affordable so that you can continue to go for as many needed. I recommend Acupuncture Advantage to everyone who is in need or thinking about it. read more

Linda, the owner of Acupuncture Advantage is so easy to talk to and very compassionate. I came to her with an upset stomach and headache and in just one half hour session, I left there feeling well and fully rejuvenated. I love the idea of having a Community Clinic here in Boca. I have already recommended Linda to several friends. read more

I am not new to acupuncture, but I am new to a community type setting. I wasn't sure what to expect. I saw Garrett, and after speaking to him for a bit, I knew this was going to be a good experience. He was very knowledgeable, kind and he seemed to care about me as an individual. The actual acupuncture treatment was fantastic. I chose the bed instead of the chair, and he did his needling like a pro. I barely felt anything. I had been having trouble sleeping, among other things, and that night I fell asleep and had no problems at all!! I feel great a few days later, and am looking forward to returning to continue my treatments. read more

My first ever visit trying acupuncture- such friendly and patient staff. My shoulder mobility was the best I have had in over a year. Very relaxing experience- I wish I had tried this earlier. Squeezing in another visit before heading home. read more

Great! First off, acupuncture works wonders. I go for injuries, pain, sickness etc. Garrett is so nice, friendly helpful! Easy to make last minute appts, and the fact you can pay what you want is amazing! I am a busy business owner and single mom, so the fact that this place works for me says a lot. read more

I LOVE this place!!! I've been for 2 acupuncture treatments so far, and have already scheduled more. Meredith and Josh are both amazing. They are both very friendly, personable, and caring. I also love that they keep treatments affordable which is huge. Because of them, I and many others are now able to get the treatment we need. I would recommend to anyone! read more

Excelente professionals. I fell welcomed and always leave better and relaxed. The whole staff is great.

Dr. Garrett Krause is a natural born healer. He came highly recommended by one of our primary care physicians, which in itself is unusual. My wife Wendy came in with intractable back pain from a degenerative spine disease, the only traditional solution for which is surgery. Wanting to do everything we could to avoid this surgery, we came to Acupuncture Advantage. After only one treatment, Wendy walked out virtually pain free. Needless to say, we are continuing to see Dr. Krause on a weekly basis. Highly recommended... read more

Garrett is truly awesome, I've been to my fair share of acupuncturists and I totally give him my stamp of approval. He has an amazing genuine energy about him and is completely dedicated to your well being. He was attentive, caring, relaxed, and kind. I would highly recommend!!! He also helped me clear my sinuses! read more

I love this place. I can finally afford to receive quality treatment as frequently as I need to. I've had chronic gastric issues, irritability, allergies and trouble with sleeping. You name it. Acupuncture helps me so much. Garrett is very skilled and efficient in his technique. read more

Just had my first appointment at Acupuncture Advantage. Was recommended by a friend. Cozy waiting room. Met with Garrett. I've had acupuncture in others cities. I found garrett to be very thorough and confident. I enjoyed the "community" setting. The treatment area is one big room with 7 recliners and two massage type tables. There is peaceful music playing and low lighting. Once needles are inserted you sit quietly in place. You are offered a clicker to alert staff if you need anything. If you prefer a room by yourself - then this is not for you. I am going back next week. I was pleased with my visit and feel better today! read more
