The ladies who work there are nice…read more I expressed a fear of needles but was going to an acupuncturist out of desperation for relief...the first two sessions she forgot a needle in me and I saw it...so that was lots of fun for me. I went for four weeks and had not even a little relief from any of the issues that I spoke with them about. Claims that they could help my poor appetite, nicotine cravings, pains, etc were all just fake sales pitches. I'm giving 2 stars for cleanliness, friendliness and that's about it. I'm taking 3 stars away because I don't feel like they pay attention to patient needs, focus on the patient during treatment, or note patient fears/concerns. I also don't feel like they know what they're doing with the needles, there should have been some change in 4 weeks if this actually works but there was none.

However, he immediately put me at ease with his calm, respectful approach and clear depth of knowledge. I felt comfortable opening up, which made a big difference in my overall experience. He asked thoughtful, thorough questions and took the time to clearly explain his approach and recommendations. This gave me a lot of confidence in the care I was receiving. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal; he was genuinely attentive and invested in my situation. One unique aspect of the experience is the brief massage following the treatment. It's such a relaxing and helpful addition that really enhances each session. I truly felt cared for and supported throughout my visits. His team is also fantastic warm, welcoming, and professional. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, compassionate acupuncturist.

So it is very easy for me to enthusiastically support and get behind the Tam Healing Center because they helped me NOT to be in a wheelchair. Sometimes in life we all need a helping hand and often when you have exhausted Western medicine's surgeries and medications, it is hard to know where to look. Many of Western medicine's treatments for illness and trauma, carry many risks and side effects, worse than the original condition. Acupuncture and other therapies prevent illness by optimizing your health and wellbeing. The Tam Healing Center is a special place dedicated to using alternative therapies to promote natural healing and recognizes the connection between mind and body. You will find acupuncture is at the core of these options but there is also herbal medicine, cupping, and collective meditation. As soon as you step foot in the Tam Healing Center you will be supported but encouraged to own what you are responsible for in the experience. There is little room for self-pity or "poor baby" here. However, you are listened too and people with chronic conditions and chronic pain are particularly well served here! Three hospitals and entire teams of neurosurgeons said I would be in a wheelchair on a breathing tube, "like Christopher Reeve," but instead I am checking out the Tai Chi at the Tam Healing Center and going hiking! Are you ready to go to the office of healing?

I'm honestly not someone who usually writes reviews, but my experience with Marisa has been so…read moreimpactful that I felt like I had to share. I drive over an hour each way to see her and it's been so worth it. I originally went to see Marisa for extreme anxiety and ongoing sleep issues, after trying what felt like every modality out there: somatic exercises, journaling, therapy, BIT, meditation, breath-work...you name it. While many of those helped in their own ways, nothing truly moved the needle for me the way hypnoacupuncture with Marisa has. From my very first session, there was an obvious shift. Even the people around me noticed. After that first session, the tension in my shoulders decreased, and the only way I can describe it is that everything (physically & mentally) felt like it had been taken down a notch. Since working with her, my sleep has completely transformed. I went from having an extremely hard time falling asleep and waking up almost every hour, to now pretty much sleeping through the night. If I do wake up, I can fall back asleep easily, and I'm even dreaming a lot which I take as a sign I'm finally getting deep, restful sleep. I've seen such drastic improvements that I genuinely feel like I have a new baseline. I feel so much more in control of my anxiety now and honestly like a completely different person than I was just a few months ago. It's been truly life changing. I honestly wish I could see her weekly. The closest way I can describe how you feel leaving a session is like you just had a massage; you're so relaxed, grounded, and at ease. Marisa has truly touched my life. She is genuinely an angel. She listens, she cares deeply, and she is incredibly dedicated to her clients. If she doesn't have an answer right away, she always follows up, whether by email or the next time you see her, which says so much about the level of thought and attention she gives. I don't feel comfortable around many people, but there's something about her energy that is so light and reassuring. She creates such a safe, welcoming environment, and it makes all the difference. I'm so grateful to have found her and truly can't recommend her enough.

I cannot speak highly enough about North End Acupuncture, especially Philip Barlow. I began seeing…read morePhilip in December 2024 for a persistent gastro-related issue I'd been dealing with since August 2022. After seeing multiple doctors with little to no progress, I turned to acupuncture as a "last resort", which now will be the first place I turn to moving forward. During my first appointment Philip spent a full hour going over my health history in detail, and I can confidently say I've never felt so heard or understood by someone in the medical field. We started with weekly sessions, gradually shifting to bi-weekly and then monthly as I improved. Thanks to Philip's thoughtful care, my gastro issues have been fully resolved and I no longer require regular treatment. On top of that, Philip has also helped me recover from a few short-term colds and illnesses using a combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine. The entire team at North End Acupuncture has created such a warm, welcoming, and peaceful environment which made every visit something I looked forward to. I cannot recommend them enough!

O. M. G. Fong's Massage Therapy is a gem of a find in Boston Chinatown. Over the years I have…read moregradually been doing some major damage to my back via working late hours and tolerating the stress at work. I've gotten many, many massages over the years to help relieve the dull and nagging pain I have in my neck and upper back. I have a Massage Envy subscription (which I just terminated today) plus I go to a number of Chinese and Thai massage places to supplement. When I found Fong's Massage Therapy I was looking for the highest rated Yelp! business in Boston Chinatown... And then it was history... I actually just showed up randomly on a Sunday to see if I could get a session in. First, I was expecting a store front on the main level of Washington Street but it's actually in an office building of sorts where you have to buzz in. There's no major signage for Fong's except for the buzzer label. The office is nice and very comfortable (nice cool temperature, soothing lighting and music and comfy BarcaLoungers for waiting. I didn't have an appointment but Kathy was available. I didn't realize it was cash only so I said I would come back after going to the ATM. However Kathy offered to perform the treatment and then I could go get cash but just leave my ID. I was like wow! And I wasn't sure what to do so I ended up doing what she suggested. The first session was amazing. Kathy basically checks out what's wrong and then administers the appropriate treatment. The method here is not like some of the many (excellent) massage therapists employ where there's almost a set sequencing of therapy. I was really tight so Kathy walked on me first to loosen me up. And then the remainder of the session was pretty intense--I usually fall asleep during no my massage therapy sessions but the pain was so intense and body work so deep that I couldn't fall asleep! The first session was so good that I set up an appointment for about 10 days later. During my second session I had gua-sha (spooning) done. This is where Kathy too lo a Chinese soup spoon and "scraped" it all over my back, neck and arms. Wow, I felt really good afterwards. Fong also checked me out as Kathy saw that I had a mountain of a knot on my back. Fong said there was a misalignment and that an adjustment would be helpful. I wasn't mentally ready to get adjusted then but I am today (third session). I am waiting for my treatment and I am hearing the "screams" of pain coming from the patient currently being treated. I can't wait!
