I've been seeing Angela for acupuncture for over a year now. I'm so grateful she takes my…read moreinsurance. I always feel amazing. My body relaxes, my mind slows down, and I feel so at ease. Her cupping has been a game changer for my neck and shoulder (I had frozen shoulder) and am very active so I'm often hurting myself one way or another. Angela herself is warm, authentic, and wonderful to chat and laugh with. We love sharing restaurant finds. But what happened this week completely blew my mind! I had horrific calf pain after running stairs with a 20 lb weighted vest two days in a row. I was miserable. I felt like I had calf surgery! While treating my calf, Angela said it felt like the needle was going into a steel plate! I was horrified, thinking what did I do and how long before I heal? The very next morning I woke up... and the pain was gone. I could not believe it. I went to the gym and did leg press and my full leg circuit like nothing had happened. I had no idea acupuncture could be that directly effective. I'm weirdly excited to see what Angela does with my next problem! Thank you, Angela!

I have been consistently going here for a few months (every 1-2 weeks) and am sorry to post such a…read morenegative review, but I feel like a place with a main goal to heal people should embody that philosophy in how they treat customers, but unfortunately have found that not to be the case here. First of all, I want to echo previous reviews that Minal indeed has amazing bedside manners and I have seen her several times and have been treated with nothing but respect and kindness. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the front desk person working on Thursday, Dec 10, 2026 - Alyssa, and to a lesser extent, Angela the owner. Again, like previous reviews of interactions with the front desk, it seems they are incapable of having any empathy for customers. In my case, I was running late for my 4PM appointment and called around 3:30PM (answered by Alyssa) to see what could be done. I was told the policy was strictly a 10min grace period so if I arrived at 4:11PM, I would be charged a $75 late fee. This was very frustrating because I was scheduled to arrive right around 4:10PM, but a simple traffic light could be the difference between arriving at 4:10 or 4:12, but Alyssa firmly stated they wouldn't even make a minute exception even though I had never been late before in any previous appointments. This stressed me out so much so even though I managed to arrive at exactly 4:10 (got lucky with the traffic lights), I was dis-regulated and accidentally slammed the door that was the entrance to the clinic (it is super light, definitely one of those indoor hollow doors). Alyssa glares at me and states there are other patients and I said something to the effect of Oh well I was very stressed out trying to get here on time due to the policy, so sorry and obviously this won't happen again. And she continues glaring and mutters ..crazy... while looking me straight in the eye. And then she's like ugh whatever Minal will talk to you, in a tone straight out of Mean Girls and leads me to the room. A minute later, I come back out asking if I could use the bathroom (not sure if I would be charged the late fee for it so wanted to check) and she glares at me for a solid few seconds, as if in disbelief I dare talk to her again, before begrudgingly saying uh yea whatever... The next day, Angela the owner called me to talk about the incident, so I told her what happened and mentioned Alyssa called me crazy, and she said that she heard from Alyssa that she said "That's crazy...", and not "YOU'RE crazy...". Now my question is does that make a difference? When your front desk receptionist looks a customer in the eye and says CRAZY, does it matter if it was preceded by "you're" or "that's"? It felt like 75% of my call with Angela was her basically saying she didn't know who to believe with the he-said-she-said (then why call me to talk about it) and nitpicking on the details of the name calling. I called her out on it and she apologized and emphasized she does not condone Alyssa's behavior, but it didn't feel sincere due to her previous comments. Philosophically, I hate places that can't make a 1 minute exception as a one-time deal (I get if someone is chronically late that you gotta respect other people's time and pay for it), but I would say if it were only this, I would be giving this place maybe 3 stars for the inflexibility since it is their right and it's just preference but not a crime or anything. But 1 star for Alyssa's behavior and the very confusing defensive call from Angela afterwards.

I started receiving treatments from Viktoriya about 6 years ago for a herniated disc injury from…read moremany years earlier. The pain was greatly reduced after the first visit and over time the treatments I received on my low back kept me able to continue my lifestyle. Currently the 22 year old injury is the least pain free it's ever been and I rarely require attention in that area. Over the years Viktoriya worked with me on various other issues and taught me more about how Chinese medicine could be used in healing. The list of therapy that I've received includes: cupping, heat therapy for hand joints, knee surgery post therapy, treating nerve damage, shoulder pain, elbow pain, and knee pain. Aside from the physical benefits I've received from acupuncture, I also received a series of treatments called the 8 Extraordinary Vessels. The process quickly became noticeable in my daily life with a more confident and positive attitude. I had a better awareness of myself and of the world. My state of mind became less motivated by fear and anger and more motivated by love and kindness. By the end of the 8 sessions I no longer had symptoms of PTSD or chronic anxiety. I felt like I had a re-birth and the condition of my mental health had been greatly improved. I was so amazed at the change in my quality of life that I've begun the process again for the second time. As much as her techniques of healing are successful, and I will continue my journey with Viktoriya as part of my team, she is also a very kind and caring person. Much of my knowledge about the world of healing started with conversations that we had. Her interest in helping people expands beyond her job and she has a genuinely big heart that is shared with the community. I know that if I'm ever in need, Viktoriya will do all she can to help. Anyone would feel comfortable talking to her not just as a medical help professional, but also as a friend. I highly recommend opening up a conversation with her and beginning a newer, healthier and happier life.
