Patient Testimonials
Julianna F.
My experience with Dr. Jackson has been beyond my expectations so far! I went in with pain in both my hands and came out with no pain in one, and reduced pain in the other, after one visit. The next day both my hands felt so much better. I was able to do my everyday things; like washing my hair, brushing my teeth, etc. without much pain… something that almost brought tears to my eyes because I’ve been in pain for months, and have seen three or four doctors with no results. Dr. Jackson‘s first visit and evaluation was very thorough and helped me feel really comfortable throughout the whole session. There was no pain from the needles, and the space and experience was very relaxing. It was also great that my insurance covered my visit!! I have booked a second appointment and I’m looking forward to continued healing.

I cannot say enough about the healing hands of Dr. Jackson. My father, who is a natural skeptic by the way, and who has been unable to stand upright or walk more than five feet without a walking stick or walker, was able to stand fully upright without pain or falling within a few hours after his first acupuncture treatment with Dr. Jackson. He had visited an Orthopedic Surgeon, Neurosurgeon, and done several months of physical therapy but no one was able to do what Dr. Jackson has done for him so far. He has had several sessions of acupuncture now, and since he started, you can visibly see the changes in his demeanor, the distance he is able to walk, and how upright he is able to stand without any assistance. I honestly never thought I would see the day this would happen. I am so grateful and so excited for his progress, and it has all been possible by the very capable and knowledgeable Dr. Jackson. Seriously, if you have ever considered acupuncture or haven’t tried it for your chronic condition, I would highly recommend trying Dr. Jackson before anyone else. She’s the real deal.

I had bloodwork done last month, and I had a virtual doctor’s appointment on yesterday. Well, [my primary care] doctor told me that I don’t have diabetes [which I was previously diagnosed with]. She said that I don’t have to take the Metformin medication and I told her that I stopped taking that [already], and she said “good”, and that whatever I am doing, keep doing it because it’s working. My blood pressure has been normal as well. Thank God for healing my body. Thank you [Dr. Jackson] so much for everything.

I’m really enjoying the [cosmetic] services. Dr. Sayles is patient, kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and amazing with her skills. She listens carefully, addresses everything I tell her, and explains her treatments before, during and after. I’m really looking forward to the next treatment, and the difference it is making in my appearance. My husband keeps complimenting me all the time. Amazing results, it works!
FAQs
-
An acupuncture needle is thinner than a strand of hair, and very flexible. Most of the needles will not be felt at all and patients are often surprised by this. If there is a sensation, it should only be for a moment and quickly reside. Our goal is never pain, and if anything feels too uncomfortable, we will promptly adjust for a more relaxing experience.
-
The main side effect of acupuncture is relaxation. The area around the needles may become red (due to increased blood flow), but this quickly fades.
-
The number of treatments will vary from person to person depending on the specifics of their case. Conditions that are chronic tend to require more time to resolve compared to conditions that are more recently acquired or acute. The amount and type of treatment needed will be discussed with you after an initial assessment.
