Patricia is a wonderful acupuncturist. She is probably the best I have ever been to and that is saying something because I have been to a few!
Like the previous commenter stated, she really understands how to treat whatever is ailing you by treating underlying issues you might not be aware of. For me, I went in for a recurring medical issue, turns out it more had to do with built up stress and anxiety. and with my treatment with her i have noticed i have been getting better and better.
She really knows how to open you up without feeling interrogated or like you are at a therapist’s office. She is very relaxed and professional… and just honestly a sweet person.
Her space is nothing fancy which I honestly kind of like and she does take insurance otherwise it would be a bit too pricey for me.
I would recommend her to any of my close family members or friends in a heartbeat.

Patricia is outstanding. She is a person who really understands healing.
I went to her with crippling knee pain that not only discontinued my marathon training but made walking difficult as well. After one session with her, I could walk again. After two sessions with her pain was absent from the affected area. What is more than the absence of pain was that the affected area grew stronger as well.
Patricia’s bedside manner is patient and kind. She seems to possess an intuitive sense for what is wrong. One of the most refreshing aspects of Patricia’s practice, for me as a patient, is the feeling of being understood. This quality brought me to put faith in her ability to facilitate my healing.
More than relieve the pain, Patricia has heightened my awareness of the root of my dis-​ease, which, on an ongoing basis, I am observing my overall health to be elevated as well.
Good luck. I hope you feel better.
