Joan is very skilled, compassionate and caring. I have tried several acupuncture places in town…read more The best value for your money is at the milwaukee community acupuncture (only $15/session). They are actually quite nice people and they do a good job but they could not cure my specific problem. I thought, if I tried an expensive acupuncturist, I would get better results. I tried another acupuncturist in Thiensville, who was expensive about $100/session. She was no different from Milwaukee community acupuncturists (in terms of placement of needles etc). Then I came across Joan's East meets west therapeutics. The way Joan does acupuncture, is entirely different and far superior! She is very specific in trying to pin pint the exact and best locations for putting the needle in. She puts each needle in very carefully and pushes it slowly to find the "Xi" spot; The others, just rapidly put the needles in but you can tell that Joan is trying to find the right spots. Also, while pulling out, Joan will twirl the needle a bit.. which apparently helps with healing. Joan also checks your over all body structure. She has a Phd from boston university. Unfortunately, Joan was not able to resolve my issue (which was a tibio fibular joint pain) but still, I would highly recommend Joan. Even after I stopped going to see her, she still sent me text message about which exercise to use. She is very caring and is well worth the expense of $150/hr. She is a very well educated healer - not just someone who went to a week long course in acupuncture!

Joan is truly a modern day healer. Everyone gave up on me except for Joan and I am just so grateful…read morefor her, for her tenacity and care. She has numerous skills that she applies to aid in the healing process and is very methodical in her unique approach. She brought all her experience, wisdom, and knowledge to my specific needs with great results! I'm making excellent progress and I think I might be her toughest case to date! I'm looking toward the future with new hope and to one day, not having to need her services because that will mean that I'm better. East Meets West Therapeutics is the BEST possible care you can receive. I highly recommend her to every single one of you. Thank you so much, Doctor Joan!!

Excellent, knowledgeable, wonderful, friendly instructors. I've never had, or seen, anything…read moreremotely like the woman who gave the school a one star rating, and I've been going there for many years. Try it, you'll like it! And it's better than a spicy meatball.
