I don't know what I would do if it wasn't for Dr. Talin and her healing hands! My 2.5 year old daughter has been struggling with severe chronic constipation for the past 7 months. After countless doctor appointments, useless laxatives, and one time fix solutions I needed to find an alternative. With just ONE session my daughter has been regular and passing gas regularly - which is something she has never been able to do! I highly recommend Roots and Needles to any parent looking for a gentle, effective approach to their child's health. read more

Hello, Good People. Please read. I began experiencing back pain in late January, which eventually radiated toward the front of my body. After three months of misdiagnosis, it was revealed that I was suffering from a nerve impingement that caused constant pain. My situation improved under the diligent care of Dr. Talin. She started by really diving into my medical history and carefully checking out what was wrong. She listened to everything I had to say and made sure she got all the details. Demonstrating active listening, she attentively addressed all my concerns and devised a personalized treatment plan. I underwent four sessions involving acupuncture and cupping with Dr. Talin, whose profound knowledge and skill in Chinese medicine have been remarkable. The result has been complete alleviation from pain--a relief for which I am immensely grateful. In retrospect, my only regret is not seeking her expertise sooner. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Talin's services. Her professional demeanor and exceptional knowledge in her field earn her a resounding 10 out of 10 from me. Thank you ! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Roots & Needles with Dr. Talin! Her energy, patience, compassion and understanding made me feel well taken care of. I'm new to acupuncture and cupping, but she explained everything so well and knew exactly what treatments I needed! The space is super cute and clean, as well as easy to find with parking out front. Will definitely be back!! read more

I really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Talin. She is kind and warm, and her space is very relaxing and calming. Firstly, I appreciate that booking with Dr. Talin is easy, accessible, and efficient through her website. I came in with severe neck pain and although I didn't leave with full mobility, there was significant improvement. And my condition continued to improve over the next days. I also appreciate that Dr. Talin sends a follow up text a few days after to check in. I'll be back for sure read more

I am a former semi professional soccer player & my health and fitness is always a priority. I had just finished my 100 push ups - 100 pull ups - 100 dips & 2 mile run on the beach. I was about to leave, when I started to kick the soccer ball around on the sand with a father and his daughter. I over reached for a ball during a juggle session and ended up landing on both knees with some force. I'm almost 40 & This is the first time I had ever popped my back (thrown out) to the point of knowing I did something to it. I was able to carry on with my daily activity and even work out the next few days - but I had this aching discomfort in my middle to lower back - and the tightness began to wrap itself around into my obliques. For about 5-6 weeks, I could go throughout my day pretty fine, do push ups, lift weights, jog, cook dinner, do yoga - But this pain and discomfort would not go away. I had never done acupuncture - but my GF had dealt with two different accidents that injured her back ( one time was a Go-Kart accident where she got hit from behind. ) She recommend acupuncture. I decided to give it a chance and after doing some research on Dr Talin Mirzakhanian, I set up the initial assessment. After my first session, incorporating cupping, I honestly felt tremendous relief & asked how soon I could see her again for my next session. I waited about 5 days but I was truly looking forward to my 2nd session, knowing that my workouts probably continued to tighten the injured area. The 2nd session, I left loopy and out of it, but I felt even more relief and my daily discomfort diminished greatly after the 2nd session - but not fully healed & still felt discomfort. We spoke , after the apt. And she told me she believed I had 'pinched a nerve' in my back. I was then ready and committed to go in for as many sessions as needed because of the gradual relief I was feeling. After my 3rd session of acupuncture, cupping, and a lot of hope and prayer... My back pain, tightness, and any discomfort that I associated with the injury, completely went away. I'm not saying that all you will need is 3 sessions, everyone is different and there are numerous variables to your personal injury. But for me, on the 3rd appointment, Dr Talin M. was able to hone in on a certain vertebra and used multiple more acupuncture needles in the injured area. I woke up the next day with absolutely no discomfort in the area where I had felt my "pinched nerve" and I was truly surprised and so very grateful that I decided to go see Dr Talin. It's been about two months now after the 3rd session - and I have completely forgotten about the injury / pinched nerve. I couldn't recommend her more if you are dealing with any type of injury... Do not hesitate to get an assessment. Obviously the quicker to address any problem in your life - the faster you may be able to overcome the problem. If I ever run into any issues in the future - I am going to set up an appointment as quickly as possible. My health and fitness is a huge priority, especially if it is affecting other areas of your life! I'm more than a believer and will advocate for Dr Talin's methods. Thank You So much Dr Talin - I will be back as soon as I feel any need to! read more

From the moment I walked into the room, I felt her calming energy and I knew I was where I needed to be. I never really knew cosmetic acupuncture was a thing, nor did I know if it was safe while breastfeeding. Talin reassured me I was in good hands and I'm so glad I trusted her. She made the process as painless as possible and I felt amazing afterwards. Even after just one session, I noticed a difference. Thank you for an amazing treatment Talin! read more

I had my calf muscle pull out of nowhere and I could barely walked, and so I started taking magnesium pills and tried resting my leg but it wasn't helping, I spoke to my doctor and he said to go to acupuncture. So I researched and found this place on Yelp, Talin was super helpful and very knowledgeable and she even scheduled me after hours to work with my work schedule. When I got there the place was absolutely immaculate condition, Talin was Very professional and she asked me many questions before we started the session and after an hour of her magic touch my leg felt better literally the next morning. I am very impressed and will definitely recommend her to others that need acupuncture. Thank you for your amazing service read more

I had my first acupuncture treatment with Talin about 2 months ago. Since I've started, I've noticed a significant improvement in my back/shoulder pain.

Talin is an AMAZING acupuncturist! I've come to her with so many issues that she's helped heal. I have TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint), and Talin has helped reduce the pain in just one session! I know it's crazy to believe but any time I feel pain in my jaw, I make an appointment with Talin and after a few days the pain slowly disappears. Of course I make it a point to continuously treat it with her so the pain doesn't come back. Also her energy is so healing. Allow yourself to open up and get deep if you feel needed, and she will really help you get to the root of your problem. You'll walk out of your session feeling brand new. This woman has truly made amazing progress and healing for my body, and I could sit here listing all of them (wrist pain, migraines, and other personal/private matters) but I wanted to specifically mention the improvement she's made with my TMJ. Thank you Talin! read more

As someone who has little to no expertise in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, I ended up booking an appointment with Talin for my anxiety, restlessness and insomnia. I've talked with many therapists in the past and was only recommended medication. Talin's approach was much different, I was greeted with herbal tea and felt very relaxed in her presence. Talin helped me understand what the root of my problem may be, she offered a nutritional diet as well as Herbal Medicine for mental clarity. Overall, the session was very peaceful and put me in a state of trance/relaxation that I have never felt before. I had a sense of relief and confidence after walking out. I highly recommend Talin for any mental/physical discomfort. I will definitely be returning for more sessions! read more
