Being from Los Angeles, I thought I'd heard of everything. Leave it to Phoenix (known more for cowboys than TCM) to have community acupuncture and for it to be at the top of a Google search!
Being my very first community acupuncture experience, I was grateful (but a little skeptical) when I made an appointment online (they make it really easy to book yourself an appointment) hoping for some relief after recently injuring my back. I was grateful for the pricing (Hallelujah!) and for there being openings over a holiday weekend. My skepticism was only in line with what anyone might think: will this really be any good?
The experience was much better than I expected. The treatments are 5-star excellent. Mayo is super sharp and intuitively knows what sort of needling plan you'll need. This facility is super clean (even the 1 bathroom that must be shared with customers and personnel alike). The community room is dimly lit, and everyone whispers discreetly -- no one cares what your problems are, they're here to unwind and forget their own, and everyone seems to be so polite.
Bottom line is she saved my butt (literally) since it was a holiday and I had back pain. And, comparing the treatment I received here vs. the "fancy" acupuncture I'd gotten the week prior at the UCLA East/West Clinic for the same issue, I can say that the treatment at Phoenix Community Acupuncture was better. This was eye opening and you folks in Phoenix are lucky to have this quality care at your disposal.
