“I didn’t expect much from acupuncture, but decided to give it a try for my arthritic knees. I was shocked
by how much better I felt the next day. So much so that I ended up going for a hike with my daughter,
which I hadn’t done in a while. Andrew showed compassion and his treatments have been effective.”
– Laura,  Arthritis patient

“I hadn’t tried acupuncture before, but decided to give it a try out of desperation. I had been going to
multiple medical professionals for chronic pain, but they had not done much to help or even identify
what was causing the pain.  Andrew took my concerns seriously and performed acupuncture and
cupping on me.   For the first time in a while, I experienced some relief. I have been pleasantly surprised
and happy with the results.  I even brought my mother in with me the next time so she could also
experience acupuncture.”
– Richard, Chronic pain patient
