    Very toxic, unprofessional, stressful work environment. Also very racist especially to Indian…read morepeople, the one owner said they only want white English people working for them, so people can understand them. My boyfriends sister who is Indian went for an interview and all they said was "oh your english no good", interview didn't even last 2 minutes. Constantly micro managed, harrassed, and sometimes others book and it becomes over booked then you dont get a break or lunch. Even while on lunch expect to be interrupted and be put back to work. Also you can expect the owner to call you 40 times a day. Your told the job description yet told to do things out of your job description. Many times patients would come out with needles still in them. Patients sometimes lay there for 30 minutes before the dr even go in. I quit due to stress, I mailed the keys in not knowing you couldnt send by regular mail. They charged me nearly $200 to replace locks. Honestly I feel like they just set the whole thing up because they are salty, if someone found random keys, I do not think they would know what in the world those keys were for. Over all just a bad experience working there. I heard things before, I should have listened but instead I learned the hard way.

    I switched jobs so my usual places for acupuncture were no longer convenient. I tried to find a…read moreplace closer to my home and the reviews were good here. This is probably the 5th different acupuncturist, I tried in my life, so I have seen some different skill levels and techniques. This was probably the worst treatment I ever received. I had to do an initial assessment that took 5 minutes tops that cost $60. It consisted of him reading what I wrote on the intake form. This was not covered in my medical plan because he charged me for my treatment on top of the initial assessment and Blue Cross only covers first $110 per treatment. I went back for a second treatment a few days later to confirm the quality of the treatment (biggest mistake). I have been in more pain after meeting with him than before I went. Now I must find someone to fix what he did wrong. The second treatment he spent only 30 minutes treating me and charged me for an hour treatment. I did not realize until I got to my car how long the time took. I called the next day and they confirmed that all treatment should take an hour. Maybe I should be happy because an hour with this quack could only cost me more money in the long run. STAY AWAY.
