This was my first acupuncture experience that I purchased on groupon, so I really don't have anything to compare it to. I went twice because I wanted to believe in the healing power of treatment and Victoria was kind on my first visit and let me borrow a book. I was a little put-off by the lack of professionalism and the utter mess that office was, but decided to write it off as "artsy". However, the second time I visited, the sheets on the table were disgustingly dirty and Victoria burped twice in my face while we were talking. I spent a lot of the session listening to a recording on headphones (that were prob not cleaned before my use) which I could easily listen to something like this for free on you tube. Sorry--- no amount of healing is worth paying for lack of cleanliness and professionalism.
