I had tried acupuncture once before but it was not covered, so although effective, I had to stop. Once I moved to the area with different insurance, I happened to pass by Provistar Acupuncture and inquired. Dr Heidi confirmed I could be covered with the referral needed and it was one of the best decisions made last year. She's so gentle and the results have been fantastic. I'm always happy to see her and walk out of her office completely relaxed. I had burnout and constant muscle stiffness in my neck area among other things and it's helped so much. I can't imagine how I was before and I'm so grateful for her care. On top of all this, she is very flexible and accommodating with scheduling and I appreciate it very much read more

Excellent care facility staff takes time to listen to your concerns about pain. Patient and helpful. Highly recommend

I am Very happy with their service. I go for acupuncture. I have been going there now for a fee weeks.

I had significant tightness in my left thigh and I used a massage gun for too long on it. The result was a hard knot the size of a grapefruit that hadn't gone away in 3 weeks by the time I came to Heidi and Provistar Acupuncture. It looked very scary and was very painful. I had tried many things including several deep tissue massages, heat, ice, Biofreeze and Aleve, but nothing helped. I had my first treatment with Heidi and by the end of the week, I could actually do squats again without pain! I went back for a couple of follow-up visits and now I have NO sign of tightness at all in my thigh. It's like that knot was never there! Heidi is a pro and really knows her craft. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to find relief from physical discomfort of any kind. read more

Why did I wait 4 years before trying Acupuncture?!!!!! ‍ I have never had sciatic issues until I had my child.. when it started they (my doctors) said "oh don't worry it'll get better with time".. IT DIDNT! ... 2 years after giving birth it was not better at all it was in fact getting worse.. "oh.. well.. lose weight.. yeah! Lose weight that'll fix the problem. " .... ... ok sure.. so I lost over 100lbs.. NOTHING! IT GOT WORSE!!.. for the last almost 2 years I have had less than 50% mobility (on a good day!) And have been using a cane to walk. Then my husband says "try Acupuncture!" .. at this point I'll try anything for some relief.. I kid you not friends.. by the 3rd appointment I didn't need my cane anymore!! Do it! TRY IT!! it's amazing! And Dr Heidi is the sweetest lady ever! Shes kind, polite, caring and genuinely concerned for your well-being. If you are sick of handfuls of medications doing nothing for your pain and doing worse for your insides then do yourself the favor of trying Acupuncture. Absolutely worth every minute and a lot less expensive than all the trips to the Doctors Office. read more

I have pain in my neck and my back that I been experiencing. Accupunture was suggested but I have a fear of needles! My pain is so unbearable I tried what was suggested and Im so grateful that I did. I don't even feel the needles!!! The service is Exceptionally Excellent. Without any pain meds I can think about something other than my pain. PUT THOSE PAIN MEDICATIONS AWAY !!! I urge you to just try something new for your pain. Think about trying Accupunture it changed my entire existence! read more

I had horrible back pain that was radiating down my arm and into my hand. I tried physical therapy and it didn't help much. After being treated by Dr. Heidi I started having much less pain and after four sessions, I was almost completely healed. Greg, the office manager, is also very welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend them. read more

I've never tried acupuncture before but I was at my wits end. I was worried because I can't lay on my back and I need special accommodations. They were wonderful and learned I didn't need to even lay on my back, so if you have concerns, they got you. 2 months after a complication from surgery I'm still experiencing sciatica pain and numbness down my left leg and foot and am learning to walk again. Nothing was helping. I got relief from my very first session from the pain and I even got more feeling back. I've only had 3 sessions so far but I'm already walking better when I wasn't really waking much at all and I'm even sleeping through the night most nights, especially the first few nights after a session. Before I was hardly sleeping at all because I was in such pain. If you read this far and are on the fence I suggest you try a session, you will know after one if it works for you or not. Go in with an open mind and relax. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. read more

Results. That's what you get with Dr. Guiyab. I had three sessions with improvement from the first session with lower back pain which caused me to stoop a little. First session my posture was erect I felt taller it was the first time in months. She intuited that I had a loss of appetite which had sort of conceded was part of ageing. Since my first session I began eating well which also helped energize me to get back to working out...in short she's great and awesome. Just finished my third session. I feel amazing. Thom read more

Dr Heidi has an amazing touch. She has calm, cool & collected bedside manner & is a great listener. I recommend anyone with pain related issues from head to toe, mental emotional, women's health issues, as acupuncture & herbal supplements are the most natural ways to reduce inflammation, swelling & pain, while promoting circulation & balancing hormones. She takes all PPO insurances, some HMOs & also has unbeatable cash discount bundle. Dr Heidi also specializes in facial rejuvenation with micro-needling. Cash discount bundle for these are 10 for $2975, which is an amazing rate. During these times of uncertainly, the best gift to yourself & loved ones is the gift of good health ‍ read more

A needle was left in my neck. I turned my neck while driving and left a sharp pain. I immediately reach for my neck and pulled out a needle. I drove back and let Dr.Heidi know. I asked her if I was going to be okay and yes. Next day I woke up with worse pain. Surprisingly, the issue I went for was noticeably better. However, I had a different sharp pain and numbness reaching from my neck to index finger. Even my lip was numb. I reached out to Dr.Heidi again. I was hoping for some tips or advice to reduce the pain, but I didn't get any. I wish she helped me a little more especially because the pain and numbness is from the lack of ensuring she removed all the needles. This is my first time doing acupuncture and now I'm terrified of going back. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Heidi. Before getting treatment by Dr. Heidi, I was a non-believer in acupuncture, but now I'm singing its praises and an acupuncture evangelist at this point haha. Once I grasped the Eastern Medicine concepts in lamen terms, it all clicked. I learned that the application of needles in specific locations stimulates the brain to essentially heal the body. And unlike opioids, there are zero side effects or addictive issues associated with acupuncture. Now I'm getting consistent treatment for my insomnia from which I've suffered for years. After getting regular treatment, as per her recommendation, my insomnia is no longer a disruptive part of my life and I'm very thankful to have met Dr. Heidi. read more

I can't say enough good things about this practice and Dr. Guiyab. When I hobbled in for my first session I was in a lot of pain due to FAI. After just one session I was able to walk and bend my knee and have continued with weekly acupuncture and cupping (which i highly recommend!) and I ALWAYS feel amazing after a treatment. Dr. Guiyab is knowledgeable, explains what she is doing and why, and is extremely thorough. I feel very fortunate to have found this practice that also accepts my insurance. You will feel welcomed and taken care of. 10 out of 10 read more

Dr. Heidi Guiyab and the staff are the best of the best amazing people! My first time getting acupuncture with Dr. Heidi has been a life-changing experience. I have sciatica and past injuries that made my life miserable. I am 38 had my pain for over 10 years, and every day I will feel back pain, discomfort, and disconnected in my body. I recently injuied myself lower back spain at gym. I was referred to Dr. Heidi and I ended up getting the lifetime healing that I needed. My treatment acupuncture with heat therapy reduces my lower back tremendously to 70% in the first week. As I continue acupuncture, I begin to feel better each times and I found myself crying off/on for reasonI . I guess I had lots of emotions that was buried in my body. For the first time in my life, I am experiencing a mind-body connection parts of my body I never felt before are connecting. Dr. Heidi is very much in tune with the body's nervous system. She was able to find the map of my pain. I am so excited to continue my healing journey with her. read more

It was my first time doing acupunture so I didn't know what to expect. From the first session, I felt relief from the area I was treated for. Thanks, Greg and Dr. Guiyab! read more

I don't normally leave reviews but had such a good experience with Dr. Heidi that I wanted to leave one. I feel really lucky to have found such a good acupuncture spot. Dr. Heidi has helped me to resolve multiple issues that I have been working on for a long time. My digestion has greatly improved and my chronic shoulder pain is almost gone after years of trying different approaches with little success. I would highly recommend Dr. Heidi for any issue you may be having! read more

I had a needle left on my upper body on two separate occasions and did not realize it until I was at home. The first time I gave Dr Heidi the benefit of a doubt, but then it happened again. Dr. Heidi seemed more attentive to my needs when I received moxa, cupping and acupuncture all in one session. She had told me that I would only have to pay $40 per session with insurance. After insurance, she told me that moxa and cupping were not covered so I owed her for those treatments. She should have just been upfront with me instead of waiting months to tell me and then requesting all payment at the end. Anyway, Dr. Heidi appeared to not care anymore because at that point, I requested acupuncture only and on top of that, I was disappointed not only because she was not upfront with me, but also because of the needles left. read more

I love this place. Heidi is incredible. I came here in hopes to help with my plantar fasciitis that continued even after foot surgery. After my second appointment I had relief. I went on to see Heidi for additional pain relief, targeting different areas. I'm so glad I found Provistar and so happy to be working with Heidi. Truly a God send. read more

ProviStar acupuncture is the best! I came to Dr. Heidi with excruciating neck pain, but after a few sessions the pain dissipated significantly. I went from not being able to turn my head or move with freedom to now being able to do so! I highly recommend ProviStar acupuncture. All the methods used are a great way to relieve the body of any stress and tension you may be holding. read more

This is the first time I have ever been treated by an acupuncturist. Dr. Heidi and her staff are the best! The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and relaxing. I've received 5 acupuncture treatments for pain in my feet and ankles and there is a marked improvement in how I feel. The amount of pain I feel when I walk has decreased and most importantly, I take much less prescription pain medication as a result of the treatments. Thank you Dr. Heidi! read more

Dr Heidi Guiyab's acupuncture treatments have saved me from intense pain as well as bouts of anxiety and depression. I went to her about four months ago when a back injury was causing excruciating leg and back pain that impacted my mobility and sleeping. An elderly person, I feared my days of normal movement had ended. The intense pain was relieved after only a few sessions and now I am almost back to normal walking and exercising. Dr Heidi is compassionate, knowledgeable, and attentive, in addition scheduling at Provistar Acupuncture is easy, read more

Heidi is a tremendous acupuncturist. I have witnessed first hand her ability to tackle complex health cases with broad wisdom and specific and effective strategies that readily produced their intended results. Heidi is constantly exposing herself to new ways to look at the diseases she encounters with her patients, educating herself in both Chinese and Western modalities, so as to garner well-informed and patient-specific interventions. In addition, she is tremendously personable, helpful and attentive. She's one of those rare people who really does want to help out others in need. Book with her! read more

I have had knee pain due to my osteoarthritis. I've taken meds and injections to alleviate the pain but I still suffered in pain. I started visiting Dr. Guiyab since last year and my experience has been incredible. Her bedside manner is obviously professional and she truly provides the attention and care that I need. Her knowledge and skills are amazing that my condition became manageable, and I haven't had steroid injection since. I truly recommend Dr. Guiyab if you're looking for a long term, honest, and caring doctor. read more

Best Acupuncturist I have ever been to, hands down. Heidi's treatments are the most effective thing I have found for managing my chronic pain. She is the only one who has successfully fixed my lower back pain and frozen shoulder. Heidi's needling is precise and painless. Her office is convenient to get to with plenty of parking. She is quick to respond and scheduling is a breeze. Heidi was super helpful in contacting my insurance to ensure I could receive the treatments at a fair and reasonable rate. It is so refreshing to find an office where I feel truly taken care of. I leave feeling better, every time. Can't say enough good things. Thank you Heidi and everyone at ProviStar! read more

I have been having neck pain for several years. A friend recommended that I go see Dr. Guiyab. I was very hesitant due to my fear of needles but decided to give it a try. Dr. Guiyab was very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. She explained to me the cause of my neck pain and what she was going to do before she started any procedure. I felt a lot less nervous after she explained everything to me. She was able to bring some relief to my neck on the very first visit! I would definitely recommend her! read more

I have chronic neck and shoulder pain and after just 3 sessions it's been greatly reduced. I haven't needed any sort of pain killers or anti inflammatories since we started treatment.

Heidi is an excellent Chinese medicine doctor; truly one of the most knowledgeable acupuncturist and herbalist walking this planet.
