Lisa is a fantastic acupuncturist and a lovely person to be treated by. I went to her for one set of sessions that cured the problem I was dealing with. A few months later I decided to go back to work through some longer-standing issues. She is clearly an expert practitioner with deep knowledge. Highly recommended.

I had chronic lower back pain for years. It got worse over the last 6 months, so I stared PT after getting an MRI confirming my pain. The PT did not help me, almost made my pain worse.

I’ve been seeing Lisa since week 31 of my pregnancy. She has worked miracles! Got my baby to turn — she was breached the entire pregnancy, completely got rid of my feet and leg swelling, noticeable helped my mood, helped my nausea. Currently we are working on my blood pressure for my preeclampsia and she has gotten my blood pressure to go down. I grew up with and seen many acupuncturist my entire life. Lisa is hands down the best I have come across.

I am truly grateful to have found Lisa. I had been struggling with sciatic pain and a pulled piriformis muscle for over 7 months. I had been going to physical therapy weekly throughout that time but the pain and discomfort persisted. After my first visit, the pain was significantly reduced. Right away, I could stand up and sit down without pain; my physical and mental relief was immediate. After each treatment, the pain lessened and my body slowly realigned. Now after 5 sessions, my body feels back to normal. Lisa’s professional attitude and confidence put me at ease. She possesses a warmth and strength that she brings to each treatment. She patiently listened to me talk about my pain, she asked the right questions, she examined my body, and ultimately, she healed me. I highly recommend her to anyone experiencing pain of any kind. She is a gift to our community. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I saw Lisa during a bad eczema flare on my face/body and she was so helpful with healing my skin from the inside. I am very grateful for her services and thankful for everything she was able to do!
12/14/23 I'm very happy for you Amanda. Congratulations. And thank you for posting a review of your experience for treatment of eczema in my office.
Lisa is incredible. She is a true healer. I initially sought Lisa's help due to persistent gastrointestinal discomfort which was affecting my daily life, and most importantly my quality of life. It seemed I was a prisoner to my gastrointestinal issues. Lisa's calming presence, coupled with her knowledge, experience, and listening skills - are truly unparalleled. Lisa brought me back to life. I'm looking forward to starting 2023 with profound healing. I am so grateful to have found Lisa. Thank you times a million!
12/31/22 Wow. Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm very happy for you. May 2023 be a mighty good year for you.
This review is long overdue but important to share. I was seeing Lisa for few months this year, and for a couple of months back in 2020. What she has done for my health nobody did, and I must write, I have visited many doctors and tried to help myself in different ways. Lisa’s energy, initiative, attention to detail and true care is priceless. Lisa helped me balance my thyroid and hormones like no doctor did. Because of genetic predisposition, I get my thyroid checked regularly every year and results after her treatment were absolutely perfect. My results were never looking that good, and I felt it. In the past, they were usually pointing to the hypothyroidism in progress. I also need to mention PCOS that she improved for me as well as hair loss. My cycles became more predictable and my PMS was non existent. I used to have severe PMS due to hormone imbalance before seeing Lisa. When it comes to the hair loss, I’m having long hair again as it grows faster than ever. She is a true healer and I cannot highly recommend her. Thank you Lisa for all your help and healing you did. We are lucky to have you.
11/15/2022. You are so sweet! Thank you Natasa for sharing your experience/s receiving acupuncture treatment in my office for women's health issues ---- thyroid function, PCOS, PMS, cycle regulation and hair loss. It is exciting to witness your progress and a pleasure to work together. I'm very happy for you.
I called this place because I had some questions before making the first appointment. The lady who answered me seemed to be nice but the second I asked if acupuncture could be combined with massage and I mentioned the reasons why I thought it would be helpful, she just completely changed her attitude and told me to go find another place if I had the answers. Just plain rude.
