I initially saw Chase late last summer for persistent pain following knee surgery. My recovery…read morefrom bilateral total knee replacement seemed stalled. I had worked faithfully with the physical therapist and that was productive but I wondered if accupunture could provide more relief. I met with Chase weekly for about six weeks specifically to address the knee issues. In addition to the acupuncture, Chase did some cupping and recommended appropriate Chinese herbal medication. I was glad to feel noticeable improvement. Then along came the fall elections which left me anxious and worried. I asked Chase about redirecting some of the acupuncture treatment toward mental health and I found that to be very beneficial. I do not understand acupuncture and how it works but Chase answers all my questions and inspires confidence. He clearly cares very much about the well being of his patients. He is eager to listen carefully and will suggest possible healing avenues to explore. He certainly doesn't disparage Western medicine but can and does offer some alternatives to the AMA's way of doing business. I appreciate the fact that my insurance covers 12 acupuncture visits a year. Chase handles all the billing and that is a real plus for me. There have been a couple of times when I needed to reschedule an appointment and Chase was always gracious and courteous about that. His office is clean, quiet and convenient. In short, if you are looking for an empathetic, knowledgeable, and professional acupuncturist, look no further. I highly recommend Chase.

I've been to about fifteen acupuncturists over the last two decades, usually for sports injuries…read more Many different styles from Japanese acupuncture to Korean and Chinese. Out of all these practitioners, Chase is my favorite because I got the best, most direct results from his treatment I have ever had with any acupuncturist. I had a case of tennis elbow that had been developing for several months to the point I could barely use my left arm and the pain would keep me from sleeping at night. I read a medical study that said acupuncture could be a good therapy. I went to see Chase and he put some needles in relevant points in my arm and did Tui Na chinese massage. Wow, after months of suffering, my pain was immediately reduced by 70%. A few days later the symptoms crept back, not as bad as before. I ended up seeing Chase weekly for the next six weeks and by the end, my arm pain was reduced 90% and my strength was much improved. I consider this a very good outcome, since many people suffer with tennis elbow for 6-12 months before it improves. With Chase I felt better immediately and my problem elbow was functionally healed in only 6 weeks. Chase is very analytical in his practice and thorough in applying his training. He works hard to figure out what is the best therapy for you. He is a nice person and you can tell he really cares about his patients and wants them to get a successful treatment. A bonus is that he is also a herbalist and if herbs can help your problem he will prescribe some for you. Also, I liked his treatment room which was a very peaceful private place to get acupuncture. The next time I have any medical problem that acupuncture can help resolve, Chase will be my first stop. Whether you've never had acupuncture before or you are looking for someone with a fresh personal approach, I recommend Chase highly.

Annie told me I should feel a lot better after 10 days, which I was holding on to because I was about to get married. Within 5-6 days, I finally felt the shift.

James is definitely one of the best! He really listens to what you want and what you know your body responds to better. For instance, I generally don't get the same results if the same acupuncture point on both sides of my body are not done together or if I tell him I need a back treatment today, he will accommodate these things using his expertise and my intuition. Also the way he stimulates the needles to activate your Chi always gives me great results. He is also very knowledgeable as a ND. I highly recommend James if you are looking into either or both treatment options.
