    Amazing first acupuncture session. From a very stressed day to walking out calm and falling asleep. Looking forward to more sessions.

    Acupuncture session to induce labor.
    Elsie S.

    During my pregnancy journey, I was blessed with a support circle and amazing team at Ritual Acupuncture. Dr. Joel Moncada was with me every step of the way guiding a healthy flow of energy for me physically and mentally, and our growing baby! From preconception, through gestation, to labor inducing. He addressed all of my issues as they arose, from carpal tunnel, indigestion, hemorrhoids, various pains throughout my body, and most importantly supporting a healthy pregnancy. The team is all hands on and exudes good energy. From personal greetings when I arrive to the office, to text message reminders, bringing me tea to relax, and calmness during treatments, the team maintains caring professionalism. Pregnancy and child birth is a mix of the most joyful yet scariest experiences. I am thankful for our support team at Ritual Acupuncture who listened to our needs, took care of, and informed us well enough so we could make the best health-related decisions for my pregnant self and our baby. I highly recommend for anyone considering acupuncture for any needs.

    Cupping Therapy with Mr. Benn Samonte.
    Marlon T.

    I've been going here for multiple times now and having body work, cupping therapy done by Mr. Benedict Samonte. He is very enthusiastic and passionate when it comes to health and wellness to treat chronic pain. I strongly recommend anyone to schedule an appointment with him in cupping therapy or anything he has to offer. He is a strong avid supporter for all U.S. Military personnel that is currently serving in both active and reserve duty, those who served in the past especially military veterans, and all First Responders. He has a strong and devoted work ethic that encompasses passion and safety and well-being to myself and all his clients. If you are ever in the area in Vallejo or a visitor from out of town. He is the person to go to. Thank you again for your devoted work and for your service. Much respect to all of us that is serving for our country. God speed and keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next session. Thank you Ritual Acupuncture for the hospitality.

On that tone I hunged the phone up.

    Wife had an appointment at a specific time-- while we did not make the 15 minute late mark, due to…read moretraffic (we did call, it went straight to voice mail and while the receptionist insists a medical assistant tried to contact us, we have 0 missed call history on either phone from anyone) we understood that rescheduling would be a part of the process. They have chronic fatigue and pain, getting my wife out of the house to an appointment takes a lot of care and time. That's what they were here to get taken care of, after all, and we expected a little bit of sympathy or at least basic human empathy when speaking to the receptionist. Of course my wife began to cry when they were told that after waiting over 6 months to be seen as a new patient, they'd need to wait an additional 3 months, experience more pain and more fatigue while they wait for an opening. I expressed my concern to the young lady at the front desk and did not get a single word, just a lead paint stare and silence. The two girls gossiping behind her also fell silent, offered no answers when asked if there was a wait list of any sort for drop-outs. Nothing. I exited after taking the appointment card, the door is somewhat heavy, and it made a loud sound behind me-- I assure you this was not on purpose, despite my anger. I don't like to make a scene. I heard the receptionists, with attitude, shout "Okay?????" With this lilt in their voices to indicate annoyance. So they CAN speak? Just not to me or to address patient concerns? I have 0 issues with young hires, they need experience, but these guys are the face of your business and while your offices are the ONLY in-network option for many, it does drive the desire to not come even if it means suffering until we can pay out of pocket to see someone else. They're a bad look, they've got bad attitudes, and the warmth and emotional depth of a tapeworm.

Unfortunately, the interaction I had left me very discouraged. When I called, I spoke with a receptionist named Ginger. She offered me two time slots--3:30 PM on Thursday or 8:45 AM the same day. I politely asked if there was any flexibility, explaining my balancing work obligations and would not be able to attend those times due to a very important meeting. Before I could finish, she cut me off and stated that she did not need to hear my "excuses," only whether I could accept the slots given. I fully understand that scheduling can be limited and that not all requests can be accommodated. However, the dismissive and rude way my situation was handled made me feel disrespected and unheard. In the healthcare field, empathy and professionalism are so important--especially when families are simply trying to meet their children's needs. I hope this was just an isolated incident or a difficult day, but I wanted to bring it to your attention so that future interactions with patients and families can reflect the courtesy and compassion that your clinic no doubt values.

I'm truly so grateful a friend of mine recommeded her to us, so I want to share this with other mamas/parents that have had similar concerns. Here is a before and after from our first Appt. Such a big difference! We also learned that our son has a lip tie and that the reason he wasn't nursing well on one side was because he couldn't turn his head properly. That's now been fixed and he nursed great on both sides last night! Dr. Cislo also manipulated the bones in my son's mouth to help with his gag reflux and explained that part of the reason people have crooked teeth is because the bones in the head are crooked, and that's why teeth often shift back without use of retainers. We received so much great information yesterday and so many answers we had been looking for, and will now be scheduling our first Appt. with a highly recommended dentist to fix his lip tie. Dr. Cislo also helped me get back on track with the vitamins and the recommended units I need to live a much healthier life, and shared that my son may be getting sick a lot because he needs more Vitamin D. I'm just so thankful for this experience, I hope someone else benefits from this as well. And, I will definitely be going back if I have another baby. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, do it and don't think twice about it! You will not be disappointed!

Honestly, I was really desperate & hopeless because a number of other therapists over many years had failed me, and now I had set very low expectations since I thought I was the problem. So I would have been happy with some new perspective, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only we went much deeper, it was as if so much was waiting to come up so fast--here and now in the care and of this good doctor & the safe atmosphere he has created to allow for it. It's hard to describe in a few words, but the first two sessions seemed to unravel an entire new stage of my life. From a healing perspective, those two sessions did more than years of soul searching, and more than some hundreds of sessions in comparative holistic approaches. I know this sounds like an exaggeration, but it is not. The many years of experience of a good therapist, combining both, therapy and hypnosis, can be profoundly effective in terms of the depths one could reach. Dr. Shafaghi's book explains how and why, and it's well worth a read. May I say, an easy client who is a learner also helps--that was his compliment to me regarding how well I received his help Now he is our family doctor, and I feel blessed he is in our lives. I have a feeling those who encounter him will find new and profound discoveries awaited them. What is most admirable in this practice also is the way husband and wife advocate for one another. I am also slightly troubled by the unfavorable and unfair rating of a reviewer who seems to be speaking from another universe, so I thought I will add this review from my google to show the truth of this beautiful and sacred space.

Something that we struggled with for a while due to age was infertility. We had actually seen several fertility specialists during this long journey, and have gone through 3 rounds of IVF (2 mini's and 1 conventional) as well as an IUI. Although they were all unfortunately unsuccessful, we discovered that not all fertility clinics and doctors are created equal. While we found that many doctors take a very traditional, rigid and cookie cutter approach to treatment. Focusing more on luck through repeated attempts, Dr. Aimee was much more focused and tailored in her regiment. We always felt informed during this process, and confident in Dr. Aimee's recommendations. And unlike other clinics, we were always able to get ahold of Dr. Aimee directly. Instead of communicating with a nurse who would then pass the message along to the doctor if they felt it needed escalation. Along these lines, we were always shocked at how quickly we were usually able to get a response from Dr. Aimee. Sometimes even late at night. We often joked that Dr. Aimee probably doesn't sleep. Our only complaints about going with Dr. Aimee revolved around a few issues: 1) The initial application process to get a consultation with Dr. Aimee was lengthy, difficult, and required a lot of chasing from my wife due to poor follow-up and communication from the office. The individual handling review and processing of new patient applications would often go awol for days on end after sending out limited communication. 2) Billing was oftentimes not very clear and created a need for us to meticulously examine our bills line by line to ensure accuracy. 3) Dr. Aimee does not accept any insurance so 100% of the costs will be out of pocket. In addition, her rates are substantially higher than other clinics. Although we were ultimately unsuccessful with IVF, we were eventually blessed with a miracle baby through natural birth. Despite this, we would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Aimee to anyone looking for fertility care.
