Spent several hundred $$$ at this place and didn’t get any results for my issue so far but it helped to relax a bit. Kelly made an inappropriate comment about my health in the reception area in the presence of others. I believe it was unintentional but that didn’t make it better. To be fair to this place, Welch and Yonkers LLC came highly recommended by my friend. I hope that this place will work for you as well as it did for her.

Although I haven’t been to see Kelly in awhile, I did regularly go for several years. Kelly was recommended to me by a friend and I had never been to an acupuncturist before. Kelly was very easy going and was very accommodating. Kelly is thorough, calm and honest acupuncturist who is really concerned about the well being of each of his patients. I had been in allergy meds for a long time and wanted to be clear of them. He started me on a acupuncture and Chinese herbal program, which was successful. As someone who had been in allergy meds for several years, I couldn’t believe that I didn’t need to be on them anymore. He also tried to treat my PMS, but I found this to be a miss. On more than one occasion, I called him for an urgent last-minute appointment from bad migraines and he would fit me in early the morning before he had any other patients or at lunch. His availiability is difficult because he is so popular, so you need to book in advance. But he will try to fit you in if there’s an urgent issue that needs to be addressed, such as my migraines. My husband and I also worked with him when we were trying to conceive. Kelly took it upon himself to provide the best care possible and I felt as if he had a genuine, personal interest in helping us conceive. We finally did conceive and Kelly was genuinely happy for us. I continued seeing Kelly during my pregnancy and his work helped me through aches and pains. I actually think that seeing Kelly helped my son to be so healthy. I sent him and his wife a birth announcement as well as some questions about some Chinese herbs that I had. His wife was so nice to call me and congratulate me and give me instructions on the herbs — especially what not to take during nursing. Unfortunately, I no longer had the time to see Kelly after having my son as I live in Arlington and Kelly’s office is in DC. However, I did stop by his office when I was four months along with my second. I was suffering through terrible allergies and although my OB said that claritin was safe to take, I did not wan to take unnecessary meds during my pregnancy. I happened to be in the city and stopped by to ask him if I could have some herbs for my allergies. Kelly was so happy to see me again and hugged me. He gladly provided me with the herbs for my allergies. I wish he had an office in VA somewhere as I would happily go back to see him!
