Patient Testimonials
Here are a few things our happy patients have to say about community acupuncture and our Tucson clinic:
"I came in with deep pain in my right shoulder, and hoping acupuncture could help. Josh calmly listened to my issues, and then after I got comfortable in a cushy recliner, he put in the needles—something I've had a lifelong fear of! But, the way he gently put each needle in, I didn't even feel it, and within a few minutes, I fell asleep into a deep slumber. When I awoke, not only was I rested, but my shoulder pain had decreased so much that it wasn't even noticeable. Thank you, Josh, for helping ease my pain, I will definitely be back!" –J.R., May 2010
"Big thank you! I went in last week with a majorly tweaked neck that had been spasming off and on for a couple weeks. Larry hooked me up one day, Keith needled me the next and—magic! Totally liberated neck. Awesome. Thank you!" –J.A., January 2010
"I have wanted to tell you for quite some time now that I think you are really great! You show such kindness and concern for your patients. I am thrilled that you chose your office to be here in Tucson. I love the community setting. I have been getting acupuncture treatments for 20 years. I have seen doctors in California, New Mexico and Arizona. I like your set up the best. You have a really nice place. Keep up the good work!" –E.J., April 2009
"I just want to say that I LOVE the Community Acupuncture Clinic! I truly look forward to my treatments and for many reasons—the genuine caring and compassion of [the practitioners], the friendly welcome each and every visit, the healing energy of the community treatment room and last but certainly not least—the incredible acupuncture talent and individualized treatment focus by both practitioners. I have been so pleased with my results and feel so blessed to have such truly dedicated professional acupuncturists in such a holistic, energizing, and holy setting. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" –S.M., January 2009
"I have my 'quality of life' back thanks to you guys! So glad I found you!" –N.B., January 2009
"Regular acupuncture visits keeps my energy balanced. I've had various reasons for needing acupuncture—from neck pains, dealing with the dry heat of the summer in the desert, to periods of intense grief. After each session, I return to my center, more balanced, clear and energized. [The practitioners] are attentive, gentle, compassionate and professional and the staff, friendly. The price is affordable. I also enjoy the community atmosphere and the music that is played. The ambience makes me feel at home right away, despite the fact I was at first a little squeamish of needles." –D.C., January 2009
"I highly recommend Tucson Community Acupuncture for their skill and caring. The quality of the treatment is exceptional. I have tried quitting smoking several times over the past six months and believe the multiple treatments I had at TCA have helped me finally kick the habit. I would go in feeling sick, stressed, and really wanting to smoke, and come out feeling centered, stronger, and ready to focus on something more healthy. The NADA protocol ear seeds helped me all day at home as well. I will continue to entrust TCA with my health care needs as well as that of my family." –L.T., November 2008
"When I first read about the Community Acupuncture Network last summer, I knew that I found the wellness approach I've been seeking for years. And I was pretty sure that there was no way Tucson would ever have such a practice. That is, until I did a little research and discovered TCA had almost literally just opened its doors. From my very first appointment, it felt very much to me like a homecoming. Larry and Keith are compassionate practitioners, well-schooled in this healing art. [They] don't just listen to my ideas, they trust the wisdom I have about my own body and my own challenges to optimal health. While it may exist, I've never experienced that kind of trust within the confines of so-called traditional western medicine." –S.E., January 2009
"I came to TCA for the first time with chronic sinus congestion. After three treatments, the congestion was completely gone. The treatments are so relaxing and enjoyable, the clearing of my sinus seemed like gravy. I would recommend TCA without hesitation to anyone wanting to try the benefits of acupuncture." –R.D., January 2009
"I never had allergies until I moved to Tucson (I'm from 'back East'). Each year they were getting worse. This wasn't fun at all, since one of my top two hobbies includes gardening and walking/hiking... I came to [TCA] because I'm on a fixed budget and one night we won free tickets to Laffs. (Their office is conveniently located on Broadway). While waiting outside of Laffs my husband and I stopped in to check out this new, different 'clinic'. We were hooked. Set up our first appointments, and I've been breathing free and easy ever since... I also have degenerative spine and neck problems, and bursitis, but with [TCA's] help, I've been able to get out of bed in the morning rather than try to literally roll from side to side until I could crawl out. I've been to at least 3 other 'top notch' acupuncturists here in Tucson during my 22 years here. NONE of them have been able to 'hit the right spots' as Keith and Larry do. I highly recommend them!" –B.R., April 2009
"I wholeheartedly recommend Tucson Community Acupuncture to anyone who has even a mild interest in acupuncture. The staff are awesome and I love the concept: the idea is to offer acupuncture at a low cost (there's a sliding scale starting at $15) in a community setting. You stay clothed—everything is done in the head, arms/hands, and lower legs/feet—and sit in a room with up to maybe a dozen people, all in well-spaced recliners. Everybody gets individualized attention from the acupuncturists and then are left alone; the lights are low enough and the chairs far enough apart that you don't feel as though you're in a fishbowl. The energy is nonetheless enhanced by the other people in the room. It's a very mellow, positive environment. If you're new to acupuncture, this would be a particularly great place to start, both because of the low cost and the completely non-clinical feel of the place. You can schedule online or over the phone. Check it out and support a community-centered local business!" –Yelp Review, March 2009
