Unfortunately, his receptionist (wife) needs corrective training. Over the years she has been very rude towards me and my mother, who have visited many times for treatment. Her behavior got to the point we discontinued getting treatment at this facility. I notice there is a difference in how this receptionist treat minorities, compared to non-minorities. It troubles me to post this, but it has to be done

I have been getting care by Dr. Ping for some years now. I have had acupuncture from others…read morebefore. Those practitioners were excellent. However, the care I get now is superlative because of Dr. Ping's diagnostic excellence. I have never had any western medicine physician nearly as fine as Dr. Ping. I get care from both Dr. Ping and my western med physician. Each of them can do some things the other can't. Dr. Ping doesn't perform surgery or send referrals for ultrasounds, x-rays, or CT scans. My western doc doesn't provide plant based medications, or acupuncture. I value them both yet I depend on Dr. Ping in my unhealthiest moments. His wife, Lorraine, keeps appointments and medications going smoothly and is a joy to be around.

He was able to see me promptly, his prices were affordable, and his exam and care was thorough. I bought a package and was able to see him weekly, regularly, and at times with short notice. I brought my 12 y.o nephew in to an appt and Dr. Drew was very kind and patient. He took time to educate both my nephew and I about adjustments. My nephew loved learning about chiropractic care. My roommate in San Diego is a chiropractor and I have seen many throughout the years. If I were to remain in town, Dr. Drew would certainly be my go to DC.

I have tried several other practitioners before, and none are able to help me like Colleen. I have several ongoing health issues, and she is always able to help my symptoms resolve.

Her new office is part of a wellness collective, and it is airy and cozy. I always feel better after seeing her. Highly recommend!

Carmela is an incredibly skilled healer who has raised my quality of life significantly since I…read morebegan seeing her. I have multiple co-morbid chronic illnesses that leave me battling chronic fatigue, pain, migraines, depression, anxiety, etc. I have seen a consistent reduction in my generalize pain, an improvement in my mood, and she's taught me skills to help me cope with my anxiety attacks. She has even helped me with my allergies. Most dramatically, though: I've been using a cane pretty consistently for years because of pain and poor balance. In our last two sessions, Carmela has treated me using the Zhu scalp acupuncture technique and, as a result of this treatment, my balance has improved significantly and my reliance on my cane has been radically reduced, to the point that I mainly use it only for stairs or for occasions when I will be on my feet for an extended period of time (like the five hours I spent walking though a recent convention, for instance). I would highly recommend Carmela to my fellow Spoonies. She is thoughtful, caring, and very gifted at what she does.

I randomly and frequently had my throat swell closed and my lips swell. I have to carry an EpiPen with my and Benadryl. I had been to two immunologist/allergists who could not help me. I had Alfa Gal from a tick bite and a secondary problem that my husband and I had found was seemed to be from sulfites found in many foods with preservatives. My son called me and suggested I try and alternative to get help with the Alfa Gal. He had spoken to his minister who also had had Alfa Gal and discovered there was a form of acupuncture that could help. He found Carmela Mager, who had 25 years of experience and had learned this particular form of therapy. We made the appointment which changed both our lives! Carmela informed us as to how she would treat the Alfa Gal ( which made me intolerant of beef, lamb and pork) and then gave me a list of things to avoid that may help. She prescribed enzymes and a probiotic which helped enormously. She told me to do some reading on sulfite allergy. I did! I found studies on it which matched my life! Within a week, I started seeing the rash slowly heal. The acupuncture not only got rid of the Alfa Gal but also my hips no longer hurt. I can now eat pork, beef and lamb again. I started to have more energy. I can garden as I love to do. I felt and feel GOOD! My husband has been doing most of the cooking lately. He says we are on this journey together. Carmela has made life better for us both. She has a wealth of knowledge and generously share it! Our great thanks to her! PWB

I'm not sure what Abby is more passionate about: the art and practice of Chinese Medicine, or…read morehelping people feel better with a whole-person approach! She is so knowledgeable as a practitioner of Chinese Medicine - whether it's acupuncture, herbs, moxa, she knows each application and how to find a solution to whatever ails your body, inside or out. Chinese Medicine can be unfamiliar to some, but Abby makes her patients feel informed and comfortable with any procedure. Perhaps the best thing about working with Abby and Acupuncture & Apothecary is that she genuinely cares about sharing her practice with all - and has very creative ways to make treatment affordable and accessible, through avenues like her community room. If you are lucky enough to work WITH Abby, she is smart, hilarious and so kind. If you are lucky to be treated BY Abby, let's just say your body will thank you no matter if you visit to deal with pain, addiction, or just overall wellness. I personally recommend: fire-cupping, moxa (especially if you're not a needle fan), and Tibetan foot soaks.

We sat in special heated massage chairs, Abby served us tea, and prepared the foot baths. It was relaxing and my feet felt tingly and soft afterwards. I will definitely be back and I'm already sending my friends to her website to reserve this special healing treatment.

He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and hospitable. This was my first experience with acupuncture and Harry answered all my questions.

If I find myself in the same scenario next time, I'll most likely return to avoid having to be induced at the hospital.
