Dr. Briner is one of the kindest doctors I've ever worked with as a patient. I love acupuncture and…read morehave experienced amazing healing from getting acupuncture in the past, and Dr. Briner truly provides an all around amazing experience. Since I live in Sonora now, I decided to find an acupuncturist in Sonora. I have gone a few times now and I am incredibly grateful to have found Sierra Acupuncture! I use acupuncture to support my overall health and target certain problems (headaches, pain, sleep, constipation, etc.) Dr. Briner has a kind bedside manner, is an exceptionally great listener, and is a skilled acupuncturist. The office itself is clean and has a nurturing environment. While I get acupuncture, I listen to calming music which is one of my favorite parts. She is open to explaining why she uses different acupuncture points which reinforces in my mind how I am being helped.

Dr. Briner is very thorough and caring. Scheduling is easy and the system does well with reminders…read more I am so relaxed during the treatments and her set up is comforting.

I recommend Cynthia highly due to her skill relieving my recent intense chronic (@30 days) back…read morepain obtained from a fall. Prior to her treatment, I had tried OTC & Rx anti-inflammatory meds, pressure massage and icing with little relief. She re-arranged her schedule to see me immediately due to my pain levels and following 1 acupuncture tx and taking her prescribed herbal remedies x/2days, my pain was significantly reduced allowing me to sleep through the night for the first time in a month! Within a week of continued herbal remedies, amazingly, I was pain free. I am continuing tx with Cynthia for nutritional counseling/healing for relief of pre-existing and long standing digestive and body system imbalances and expect great results. We have an established professional relationship dating back to 2008 when she successfully treated my husband's plantar fasciitis after he was unable to get relief/results from conventional MD's/methods. Again, I highly recommend her services.

She has been wonderful -- could tell right away that the muscles on one side of my back were very tight, and has been using both massage and acupuncture to loosen them up. (I had a knee replacement six months ago, and most probably have been favoring one side of my body.) Carolini is very intuitive and knowledgeable about Western and Chinese medicine, and I feel like I'm getting excellent care from her.

I have been a patient of this beautiful Acupuncture Wellness center since Richard Weissman first…read morerelocated and decided to re-establish his practice in this area in 2014. He had been in the bay area and had a thriving practice for many years prior to the move to our area. In that time, Richard has resolved many of my health issues. Because of his professional skills, his attention to detail, and his broad knowledge of Chinese medicine and herbal supplements, I have been able to regain my health without drugs, needless surgeries, or other far more invasive treatments that Western medicine is so fond of utilizing. He resolved my sciatica in one visit, after I had suffered with it off and on for 4 years. Three treatments to get control of my anxiety. Two treatments for my elbow pain. Plantar Fasciitis, relieved in 5 treatments and it hasn't returned. My body responds very well to Richard's treatments. Tendinitis, sinus/allergy problems, severe neck pain, joint pain, all resolved under Richard's knowledgeable care. For decades I suffered at least once a year from acute bronchitis, usually due to pollen and other allergens. Thanks to the herbal formulas he recommended, my lung health has improved greatly and as a result, I have not had a case of bronchitis in 6 years. I fully attribute this life-changing result to the care I received at Acupuncture Wellness Center. I should mention that not every person or case will respond to the treatments in exactly the same way, I have discovered for myself that I need to give it plenty of time. You should plan on at least 5 or 6 treatments, in order to give it a chance to resolve the discomfort that is being caused by your own personal health issues. Richard and his staff are very friendly, kind, helpful and knowledgeable. In addition, from the first news of and throughout the virus outbreak, masks have been worn correctly and they have been diligent with taking the everyone's temperature upon their arrival. They request our use of hand sanitizer and keep it available at all times. The rooms are thoroughly disinfected after each patient and care is taken with regard to everyone to help prevent contact between patients even while waiting to be seen. I have witnessed these procedures many times. Patients are asked to wait outside or in their vehicle when necessary. The wait is seldom more than a few minutes and I myself have never been expected to share close space with anyone. While visiting, I have never felt as though my health or the health of other patients was in jeopardy with regard to the covid outbreak. Bottom Line: If you have never tried acupuncture, I can recommend it to relieve pain, resolve anxiety, alleviate symptoms or assist with an overall sense of well-being. You and your loved ones owe it to yourselves to give acupuncture a try. Obviously, not everyone can come to Acupuncture Wellness Center to see Richard, but if you live in Calaveras County or in a neighboring community, I feel it's an excellent place to enjoy your first experience. You will be greeted and treated like family and chances are you will be very happy with your treatment results.
