It is ultra high tech- almost like Flash Gordon stuff- but hey, I always wanted to star in my own si-fi! The uses of this technology to assist people who cannot physically work out are amazing. What I like the most is that there is no contract. Packages are one visit a week for four weeks. They are on the brink of being able to accept medical insurance. Hey I can try anything for four weeks! Another great thing with this program is that the end goal is cure of the issue as opposed to continuing on every week forever. This is a win win!

August of 2021. So I went to this Dr. Because of a bad reaction to some medicines. The symptoms…read morewere alternating diarrhea and constipation, this was due to 2 medications. About a month before my appointment the medication that caused the constipation was stopped. Although the consult only said constipation it's the VA so this mistake was understandable (government Healthcare sucks), I informed Dr Halow of the original problem AND the change (only diarrhea was the problem). The good Dr however decided to ignore my input. Thanks to government Healthcare I got the medication about a month later. Due to being busy and distracted when it got delivered I forgot to double check the side effects and took it. The medication Dr Halow prescribed was a rather powerful anti constipation medicine (for those that aren't familiar it caused diarrhea). I was in the er in under 4 hours. If you see this Dr double check anything he prescribes you, and make sure he understands your symptoms.

In total, I think I have visited her approximately seven times. Recently, she had acquired a second therapy room for more business and the hiring of an assistant, by the name of Kate. Keep in mind, Kate is not certified in acupuncture, but assists Wendy in administrative duties; e.g., scheduling, straightening up, and overall cleanliness. The repore between these two is fantastic, definitely makes each visit just that more enjoyable. Parking is challenging and there is no handicap parking in the front. Her practice does share space with other businesses, but both rooms are on the main floor. I am extremely happy and impressed with Wendy's application of the art of acupuncture and cupping. She politely answered all my questions pertaining to the before mentioned therapies, to include Kate as well. Highly recommend with enthusiasm to anyone looking for a local acupuncturist in El Paso.

After my boyfriend had his eye exam done here, I decided it was time for some new contacts and glasses so I set up an appointment. They were able to get me in within two weeks and at a time that worked for me. To speed up the process they also gave me the paperwork when scheduling my appointment and told me I could just bring it with when I came back. Efficiency. Everyone that I interacted with was friendly and cheerful. I even appreciated that the doctor didn't try to confuse me in any way and actually set straight a lot of misinformation I was given by my previous doctor/salesperson. You know the best part... the glaucoma machine. You know the machine that blows air into your eyes to test the pressure? At the previous optometrist, I'd always "fail" the test and then I'd have to go through the process of having my eyes dilated which always sucks because driving after is the worst. FBOC's glaucoma machine was actually able to give a real reading because it was a quick push of air instead of the long shot of air that was always forced my eyes to shut. No dilation, YAY! Pretty smooth process and from start to finish was maybe an hour of my time. The staff is great. And I felt like they really went the extra mile with everything... the doctor even decided it was best to do a follow up appointment since there was some uncertainty with my contacts. I paid out of pocket and felt that the price for a contact and glasses prescription was reasonable at $129 (and that included the trial pair of contact lenses).
