Real patients. Real results.

For over a decade our patients have shared how acupuncture, functional medicine and Chinese medicine helped them feel like themselves again. Filter the stories below by what brought them in.

These are individual patient experiences shared in their own words. Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. For serious conditions such as cancer and MS, our care is supportive and works alongside — never in place of — your physician's treatment.

"While going through chemo I had severe hip pain, then ended up on oxygen unable to breathe. Gene introduced me to moxibustion for my lungs — after that visit I was no longer on oxygen. My quality of life has been restored to a degree I thought I'd never see again."

"I sneezed and slipped a disc — I could barely get out of a chair. Dr. Gene spent a tremendous amount of time with me. After just one treatment I felt better, and after a couple of months I'm almost back to 100%. No drugs, no shots, no surgery."

"I had severe anxiety with shortness of breath, palpitations, disturbed sleep and dizziness. After treatment I've returned to full functionality and ease. Dr. Healy takes an overall approach that brings complete healing, not just treatment of symptoms."

"Insomnia and anxiety from Tamoxifen, plus tendonitis and shoulder pain from a torn rotator cuff. The impact has been amazingly beneficial — I'm sleeping 5.5–6.5 hours regularly, my anxiety is greatly reduced and my shoulder pain dropped from an 8 to a 2."

"Such a loving, talented doctor with a terrific staff. He cracked the code in many areas for me — lowering high blood pressure, clearing serious sinus congestion and more. My advice is to start here; Gene will direct you to another physician if necessary."
