Susie has a calming presence that always puts me at ease. She listens to all my complaints and I can tell she is really taking it in and considering it all very carefully. Her treatments are gentle and relaxing. She always has good insights on ways to approach my ailments, and her herbal prescriptions are well thought out. She has studied with some of the most respected acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine teachers and she has cultivated a high level of expertise through her studies. I wouldn't hesitate to send anyone her way. She excels at treating pain, women's health, insomnia, allergies, digestive problems and much more. read more

I could not recommend Susan Carter Acupuncture more wholeheartedly.

I can't say enough good things about Susie. She is an incredibly talented acupuncturist and healer. She has a very calm and caring bedside manner, and has a very gentle touch. I started seeing her after getting some abnormal test results. After several sessions with her to get my body back on track, my test results are clear. I truly believe Susie was instrumental in this change. My previous experience with acupuncture wasn't incredibly inspiring, but Susie has changed my perspective entirely. It might just be that she's the best in the business! Put simply, I look forward to my sessions with her every week. I can't recommend Susie enough. Do yourself a favor, and just book a session with her. You won't regret it! read more

Susie is a gifted healer who takes the time to understand her patients as whole people not merely as a set of symptoms.

Her experience is valuable, her depth of curiosity about health + wellness is invaluable. Her acupuncture skills are obvious and her gentleness appreciated. I highly recommend Susie as a strong, smart and proactive advocate to champion your healthiest life. read more

Susan Carter is a WONDERFUL acupuncturist- extremely knowledgeable, kind, and understanding. She was an instrumental part of my wife's difficult second pregnancy. She knew exactly what to do when she was nauseous, stressed, exhausted, or sick with this awful 6 week cold. She even helped start labor when we found out my wife needed to be induced! She complements her treatments with holistic remedies and nutrition recommendations. Great listener and awesome bedside manner - lacking in today's health care world. read more

Susie's practice changed my life. I started seeing her for neck and back pain relief when I was rear ended, and I continued seeing her when I wanted to try to get pregnant. Her techniques, relaxing atmosphere, calming attitude all helped me tremendously, and I got pregnant very quickly which I credit to both her practice and nutritional insights. If she was still in Berkeley, I would be seeing her now. read more

I have been struggling with how to write this review without it sounding totally fake. I honestly believe that my treatments from Susie have changed my life. And I don't say that lightly. I am a high school teacher and I have a toddler. I've notoriously been a bit stressed. I've known Susie for many years and now that we live closer I am lucky and honored to get acupuncture treatments from her. I am sleeping better, I have more energy, and I am definitely less stressed out. Not only have I noticed a difference in my own body, but my family has noticed a difference and my colleagues have noticed a difference. I think my students have noticed too because my classes are going great and I am able to be more present with them. And with my daughter. And with my wife. Susie's approach is gentle and warm. She makes you feel very supported and cared for. Her office is wonderful (clean, warm, and welcoming.) The treatments I get from her are the real deal. Every week, I notice myself looking forward to my next appointment with her. Like I said, I really believe my treatments from Susie have changed my life. I can't recommend her more highly. read more
