Prioritizing patient care over profit, they don't throw the kitchen sink at you to see what works. They tailor a treatment plan and curate herbs and supplements through consistent listening and feedback.

I've since been under the expert care of Dr. Ueno who is a consummate professional who is clearly passionate about helping his patients. I seriously believe he and Sachiko are the best gift to DC from Japan (following only the Cherry blossoms!). Unparalleled atmosphere set by Sachiko makes every visit so amazing!

Sarah was extremely helpful in getting some of those symptoms under control. Not only that, she was able to get rid of some wrinkles around the eyes.

Even my new acupuncturist had nice things to say about Sarah. She is also personally a wonderful human being. If I ever move back to Alexandria I'd see Sarah again in a heartbeat.

He did a really good job of diagnosing and assessing a number of things happening with me in just a short period of time. He also gave me a few really great adjustments and recommend recommendations for home that I didn't even realize I needed. In fact, I didn't even realize how weak certain parts of my body were until my visit with him. And now, I can't wait to come back. The whole process from start to finish with super simple: I booked online through Zocdoc, which was seamless. Diana, who works in the office, reached out to confirm almost immediately after and sent me the forms I needed to complete. I arrived for my appointment, and was seen pretty immediately. I had tweaked my lower back, lifting recently, and the pain I have now felt for almost a week is gone. On top of that, he was super nice! Diana at the front desk was also super nice! Looking forward to my next visit. Also helpful to note: there are appointments available as early as 6 AM. There's tons of free parking around the building on the streets. There is an elevator to get up to the suite on the seventh floor. Honestly, I should've started coming here months ago.

I was going to wait to write a review of Dr. Jodi when my treatment plan was complete but felt an…read moreinterim review was worthwhile. Jodi is an amazing doctor. She has compassion for me as an individual and is just as interested in listening to me as she is in treating me. This is something no western medical doctor was willing to do. My experience has been that western doctors were just interested in layering prescription medications on me to treat the symptoms and not the entire body...and I was told to just "manage" the side effects of these medications. I felt absolutely lost when I entered her office for the first time. I have experienced amazing progress in the 2 months I've been seeing Jodi. I went in for severe insomnia that I "felt" deep down inside was related to changes in my hormones. Jodi never denied my instinct or told me I was "crazy". I was taking prescription sleep aids EVERY NIGHT and generally living in a state of lack. After 2 months I've had an amazing improvement in my insomnia. Jodi uses multiple integrative approaches to treating me. She is very thorough and complete in her approach. She allows me to listen to my meditations while I am "baking" and is always concerned for my comfort and happiness. I'm not done with my treatment but I've experienced had an 85% improvement in the quality of my life. What a gift! I would highly recommend Jodi to everyone.
