Maritza R.

Interesting message. It was our first time coming here tonight for the couples massage. We were hanging out at Ballston Quarter and in the spur of the moment decided to get a massage. We dropped by about 30 minutes before they closed and luckily they still took us in. 5 stars. Payment: you get a discount if you pay with cash. We paid $128 for the couples 1 hour massage. The massage: this is the interesting part. I'm not sure what kind of massage we got lol. We're used to Swedish. Tonight we got a mix between Swedish and Deep Tissue I would say. The massage was light and then it would get super intense. When it was light I almost wanted to laugh because I felt like I was being tickled. When it was round I was getting someone elbow jabbed into my back. I was kind of cold in the room, I could feel the AC was on. The oil was a little cold but the table felt warm. Overall we came out feeling relaxed. Parking: there's a garage that's $1 for up to three hours about a block away. Totally worth it. Any who. Call ahead to check availability or wing it, and hope for the best lol.

This place is okay. It does the job. The day I went, I had to share a room with a grumpy female customer, and she ruined my experience. I think that room is usually used for couple's massages. They separated our beds with a curtain. I heard her every complaint and grunt, and I hated it. Thank goodness my massage therapist barely talked to me because any more talking from anyone and I would have left. The massage itself was pretty good. The massage therapist used firm pressure. She made sure to ask how the pressure was from time to time in case I wanted her to use more or less pressure. This place is pretty nice inside and offers separate rooms. Just keep in mind that they may put you in a couple's room to be shared with someone else. Lastly, it is located in the same building as the Avalon apartment I think, but towards the back, right side of the building.

Good massage but they demand tips. They contacted me nearly 24 hrs after service to demand a tip when I delayed sending it via Venmo.

Quality, quality, quality…read more Frank is the most thoughtful, intelligent, and qualified acupuncturist I have found in the DC area. I've seen several other individuals for massage, acupuncture, and dry needling. But I have always gone back to Frank because he is the best. I've been seeing Frank for over four years now. Specifically, Frank has played a key role in my healing process for my shoulder and back injuries and numbness in my arms. We focus a good deal on dry needling on my neck, shoulder, and back. I find that he is the most careful and smart with dry needling. I have been to physical therapists and chiropractors who try to dry needle, and it's scary how ill equipped they were. Go see Frank. Whether you're an athlete or a stressed out profession (or like me...both!), you will walk away better in mind and body after seeing Frank.

Frank is an intuitive healer and a thoughtful person. I have severe allergies and his treatments…read morereally help alleviate my symptoms. He also sold me an herbal remedy that can be used as a tea, which is great (though I still rely on my OTC meds when the pollen count gets really high). I've gone to four different acupuncture practitioners and Frank is the best. Within minutes of getting the needles I fall into a deep relaxing sleep.I usually get the Tui Na service, so the massage feels like an extra bonus. It always surprises me that the whole treatment is only an hour. It feels like longer. For those who had trouble reaching him on the phone, I would recommend email. He has more than one office and no assistant. I haven't tried calling him, but he's always been very responsive to email, sending a reply either the same day or next day.

I booked the visit a couple of weeks in advance, completed all required forms, and provided my insurance information. They also required full payment upfront, explaining it would be adjusted later to account for any copays or insurance coverage. When I arrived for the appointment, the receptionist immediately informed me that Eastern Roots was not in-network with United Healthcare and that I could instead submit an out-of-network claim. That was not an acceptable option, as out-of-network costs are significantly higher. It was clear the practice knew this in advance but failed to notify me until after I had driven over an hour to get there. When I requested a refund--since I was unwilling to proceed with a provider that misrepresented their insurance status--they refused, citing their 24-hour cancellation policy. However, I hadn't canceled the appointment; I arrived in good faith, expecting coverage. Only once I learned the true facts, which the clinic already knew, did I decline to continue. To make matters worse, the owner, Sarah Alemi, did not speak with me directly and instead sent an email referencing the cancellation policy. At this point, I have disputed the charge with my credit card company. I would strongly caution others to verify network participation and transparency before booking with this practice

I wish I had stayed home…read more I visited on a Saturday with two people. We booked ahead on the website -- $72 for 45 minute deep tissue massage, per person. We were running about 10 minutes late, but we called them and let them know. When we arrived, the front desk staff barely said anything to us and just whisked us back into the massage room. They barely welcomed us, they didn't ask about any focus areas or preferences, and it seems like they were not the strongest communicators. We got a very basic massage with a mix of back, legs, and arms. It was not at all a deep tissue massage. It was not relaxing. It was not worth it. I didn't feel anything at the end; like, I might as well not have gotten a massage at all. When we were done, they whisked us to the counter to pay. Again, not very friendly or communicative. There is a sign on the counter that says there is a $5 charge for paying with credit card, but thankfully they did not charge us that. The place is very barebones, like the service. They have about 6 massage rooms. We were the only ones there, and I got the impression there was only more than one staff person there because we booked in advance. FYI They have some coupons on Groupon.

I called ahead and asked for price. Was informed of it being $240 for 2 people to have a 90 minute…read moredeep tissue massage. When it came time to pay they had $250 on the credit card machine. When i asked about the additional $10 she insisted that they had a credit card fee. That should definitely be said upfront to inform people to bring cash to get the same rates listed. Good massage with a female there, but i really don't appreciate leaving bliss to wake up to that. Bring cash
