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.

Here I am, updating my reviews of this wonderful place. Admittedly, I stopped going for acupuncture…read morefor way too long. No reason really. However, since my last review, I've undergone two spinal surgeries...not fun. My spine condition is chronic. My Orthopedist Dr Kim (I wrote a review on him here) told me before putting me under for my second surgery that I'll never be the same as I once was and my spine (disc issue) will always be present. After my first surgery I felt healed...brand new even. I decided to see a Chiropractor every other month to keep me in good spinal shape. Well, my last visit with the Chiropractor left me with a discomfort in my lower back that would not subside. I ran to Dr Kim, who gave me an X-ray and suggested Physical Therapy. I chose a therapist that was suggested to me by a friend. It went horribly and he re-herniated me. Since the second surgery in August 2015, I've had several steroid injections and a boatload of oral steroids, which will make your bones brittle and thin. I decided to go back to acupuncture. Looking back, I should have gone back to it after the Chiropractor incident. I did give it a few tries after the second herniation, but my condition was way too advanced. Normally I get about three months of relief tops from steroids since the second surgery. This past September I made the best decision to go back to acupuncture. I have been seeing Lisa Keyes since September and guess what? No steroids ever since and I feel tons better. No pain at all! Lisa is nothing short of amazing...and I do not use that word loosely. I've been living my life pain and steroid free since September because of Lisa. She has done wonders. My husband has been seeing Anne for the last two months for other issues and his praises for her match mine for Lisa. People of Boston, you should all try acupuncture for whatever physically or mentally ails you and thanks to my review, you know where to go. The five stars overall on this place are totally legit.

You can really tell they care about how you are feeling and are motivated by the healing that they are doing for you. I am so glad I took a chance and am continuing to go as I am seeing improvement.

I went to this practice expecting the best, based on the reviews but could not be more disappointed. I was surprised how cold and commercial it felt. They only work with a couple of acupuncture methods and Dr Lee sold me some herbs that when I asked what they were for she asked me to Google it. I went to 3 sessions to give this practice a fair chance but left disheartened at the rudeness and carelessness I experienced with Dr Lee during those 3 sessions. The whole experience was mediocre at best. Needless to say, I will not be coming back but sadly, this is making me rethink the concept I had about acupuncture and acupuncturists and questioning if this will continue to be the right treatment for me.

I'll admit it - I don't like needles.

So, as you can imagine, acupuncture is not something I was thrilled about doing. But, I knew much it had helped me growing up and made the decision to try and get past the phobia. I went to Nicole and, after my first session, it was clear I had found the person to help. To start with, her intake is incredibly thorough and comprehensive. She spent a significant amount of time trying to get at why, exactly, I was there and what I was hoping to get out of it. I really felt like she was listening to me and no question or thought was too silly or off-base to discuss. The breadth and depth of her knowledge is insane and the things she surmised from my answers, my pulse and whatever else were right on target. Then the session started and, to my amazement, the needles didn't hurt at all. Either I've gotten tougher (unlikely) or she is such a pro that she knows exactly what she is doing. As she put them in, she explained the different points and what she was trying to do. I had hopes the acupuncture would help with pain and immune system which it has. What I don't think I was prepared for was the depth to which the session would help me relax. We're all so busy, and the opportunity to take some time just focusing on my breathing and personal wellness is such a gift. Ok, I've gone on long enough. Let me just say that, based on the couple of sessions I've now had, Nicole is going to be seeing me regularly for quite some time. I can not recommend her highly enough and I'm so grateful to her for making such a difference in helping me achieve my health and wellness goals.

Minimalist but inviting. Subdued but warm. Anna briefly conducted an overview with me to discuss my health concerns/goals and then explained concisely what she planned to do and why, so any doubts or worries I may have had were quickly dissipated. Going into the acupuncture session, I was overcome with anxiety from the anticipation of the needles being inserted but Anna expertly placed them with little notice and whatever pressure I did feel could hardly register as painful in any way. As to the experience and quality of the acupuncture session itself, I have no words. I would not consider myself to be a holistic person and as I said above, I didn't have any expectations going into the appointment. So when the session was underway and the needles were fully inserted, the physical sensation I experienced throughout my body was beyond recognition. The only comparable experience that comes to mind is when you hear music that's so compelling and moving it raises the hair on your arms, making your body tingle, but with acupuncture, couple this sensation with a layer of warmth flowing throughout your body. I will definitely be coming back for more sessions and highly recommend acupuncture to anyone for any reason whether it be for stress relief, pain alleviation, etc. If you're suffering in any way at all, GO SEE ANNA.
