    Recommended to me by a friend for Massage and Accupuncture. My massage therapist Elizabeth was very…read moregood. Great way to relax the muscles after a stressful work week and 3 days of skiing. Should note that it's one big community room, with each table divided by sheets/curtains, so everyone needs to whisper all the time. Not a big deal, once you know what to expect.

    I love this place. It is such an oasis. They have put very careful thought into every detail. From…read morethe moment you walk in the door, you are immediately put at ease. They whisper when they talk so as to respect the people getting treatment and keep a zen-like environment. They have soft peaceful music playing, noise machines, and aromatherapy oil diffusers going, creating a soft calming scent. Anna at the front desk is awesome - always there with a smile, greeting you as you walk in. She is so cool to talk to as well. I'm always happy to see her. I have seen two acupuncturists so far, but I really love Autumn Goodrich. I only book with her now. She has a maternal energy, making me feel like she is taking good care of me. She is a very knowledgeable practitioner and takes her time working with me, making me feel like I'm her only patient. Your first appointment is about 90 mins, where you fill out an in-depth medical questionnaire and the practitioner walks through it with you. They evaluate your tongue, take your pulse, and ask a lot of questions. Each follow up visit is about 45-60 mins. I have a history of stomach issues and chronic low back pain, so these areas have been my focus. Five sessions in, and I can tell a difference. I really look forward to coming in each week. It's a nice treat. I understand acupuncture to be great for stress management and the immune system. With winter approaching (and cold/flu season), I plan on going once/mo once I reach six sessions, going weekly. During your acupuncture session, you stay clothed but take your shoes and socks off. You're lying down either on your back or on your stomach (with a face rest - like a massage table) with soft sheets on the table to lie on (they even have flannel sheets for cold months!) and soft silk sheets (like real silk) to cover you up. They give you an eye mask to put over your eyes. Don't be surprised if you hear a lot of snoring. It's easy to fall asleep at PRH. There's tea and water in the kitchen area, where you can help yourself. Bathrooms are in the back. It's a great place, I highly recommend it. And they even have a sliding fee scale. What a nice gift PRH is to the Bozeman community.

    I visited Dr. Mackey on March 3 with leg/back pain, and had a follow up appointment the next week…read more Two days later she called to let me know she'd tested positive for COVID on the same day as my follow up, and she made it clear that a) she'd only taken a test because she'd been planning a trip to Hawaii, and b) she was only informing her close contacts because she was required to by law. She attempted to soft-pedal the news by saying she'd taken a (notoriously unreliable) rapid test that morning, which was negative, and that she doubted she actually had COVID because she didn't personally know anyone who was infected. The overall tone of this call was that none of this was a big deal. Unfortunately, it was a big deal for me. I had friends staying with me that week, and none of us were vaccinated. To be safe, I immediately isolated myself in my room, and my friends packed up and left as soon as they could. Four days later I began having symptoms and took a COVID test, which came back positive. A few days after that, I had a follow up call with Dr. Mackey and let her know I had in fact contracted COVID. During this call, she told me that: 1. Though she had been eligible and had had numerous opportunities, she had chosen not to get a vaccine because she felt it was still experimental and potentially more dangerous than the virus itself. 2. That there is no definitive evidence COVID vaccines prevent transmission of the virus, and therefore no point in getting one. 3. That she didn't feel she needed to be vaccinated anyway, because she was not personally in a high-risk group. 4. That she doesn't treat sick people, so even if one of her patients were to contract COVID, it wouldn't really matter. 5. That the common cold is also caused by a corona virus, so it's very possible that our PCR tests produced false positives and nobody actually has COVID. 6. That she chose to wear a thin cloth mask during appointments rather than an N95, because N95s only protect the wearer. (This is false, and pertains only to the types of mask which have an exhaust valve built in. However, when I pointed out that even if such a thing were true, she might have prevented herself from getting infected and then infecting me, Dr. Mackey paused for a long time before claiming there was no way she could know I actually caught COVID from her, and that I could have gotten it by going into a store, or using a gas station bathroom.) I was fortunate because I had a relatively mild case, and have since mostly recovered. (Although I still have not recovered my sense of taste/smell.) My friends were fortunate because we cared enough to take precautions, so they were able to visit their elderly parents the following weekend. But what is truly maddening about this situation is that Dr. Mackey seemed unable to understand or take responsibility for the fact that her bad decisions around COVID don't just affect her. Even if it were true that every single one of her patients is young and healthy and in a "low-risk" group, some of them would certainly leave her office and interact with other people who aren't. Never mind the fact that even people in low-risk groups have died or been hospitalized, and that there are other negative long-term effects besides death that we still don't understand. I'm not writing this review to hurt Dr. Mackey or her business. I just wish that I'd known the things I know now before choosing to see her. If you've read all of the above and don't think any of it is relevant to you as a patient, that is your prerogative. But if, like me, you would prefer to see a medical professional who is not a vaccine skeptic, who takes every possible precaution to protect her patients, and who doesn't become defensive or evasive when asked to accept responsibility for her actions, then you now have that information, and you can make a more informed choice than I was able to.

    I have been seeing Doctor Mackey for about six months after having chronic shoulder pain for over a…read moreyear not helped by PT and a myriad of docs who were all stumped by my symptoms. I finally decide to go "out of network" when the quick 15 minute doctor visit wasn't enough to figure it out and an in network osteopath man handled me so much I was terrified of getting adjustments ever again. Her adjustments are amazing, next to miraculous! Her nature is very calm and intuitive and she approaches me as a partner, always making sure to ask me how I am doing. She really tuned into my body and gave me as much time as she could. I know some complain of the price tag but the visit isn't short. It's actually what you'd pay for just 15 minutes with an integrative doc for a consult but with Dr. Mackey you also get adjustments and can have a conversation versus quickly going through a checklist of symptoms and having someone throw supplements your way. Also, I didn't expect to have other issues addressed and discussed that could be exacerbating the issue but her recommendations were very helpful as she is very knowledgeable on many theories of wellness. She even told me about a theory that would later have me not needing to come as often called TMS, by Doctor Schrader and after reading that book I have improved even more.
