Chinese Herbal Medicine

I was in a car accident while on vacation which gave me a terrible bone bruise on my knee. It hurt to walk or just bend my knee. It wasn’t getting any better until it was treated with acupuncture by Monica. I’ve been treated by Monica for other things and already was impressed by her thorough approach to treating her patients.

Her evaluation is focused on you and your needs and she does everything to get you back to the place you want to be. After every treatment, my knee felt significantly better and within a few weeks, I was back to normal. She advised me on things to do on my own to speed up recovery, and paired her acupuncture with electrostimulation therapy. She also recommended some amazing Chinese Herbal Medicine pads to help with blood flow and overall recovery.

Her realistic positivity is so helpful in the healing process, and I was so amazed at the recovery my knee has made within a few short weeks of seeing her. Monica is dedicated to her patients and her work, always explaining her overall process so you understand her approach. I truly feel like I have found an advocate with Monica. Thank you!!

I came to Monica with shoulder and bicep issues, after explaining the sensations I was having she quickly got to work. Not long after nearly all the pain was gone! I have returned for a similar service several times and am glad to report I no longer have shoulder or bicep pain.

I've suffered from chronic neck pain for many years. Since all my previous treatments didn't seem to help, I decided to try acupuncture. After a few treatments with Monica, I began to feel better. I continued to see her for several months. My neck pain has diminished; I have more energy and a more positive outlook toward my health and well being. I not only like Monica's holistic approach, but her gentle and caring nature with a keen ear for listening. I was extremely afraid of needles and now I look forward to my treatments! Thanks Monica!

I suffered a rotator cuff impingement, and physical therapy wasn't helping -- in
fact, it seemed to make it worse. I decided to try acupuncture, and the results were
really surprising. After 3 treatments, I recovered movement in my shoulder, and the
pain greatly decreased. Six treatments later, my shoulder feels fantastic, and it functions
normally again. It's been a great way to heal and recover.

I went to Monica for gastrointestinal problems which I had experienced for several months. I had relief in the 1st session. I have received several treatments since that 1st visit and I continue to improve. I also had neck pain from a car accident from years ago. She was able to completely remove the pain and stiffness in only a few visits. I highly recommend her for whatever ails you.

In my opinion Monica is the absolute best acupuncturist out there. I have seen her for a number of different reasons over the years and she has helped me a great deal.

For example... I had years of infertility, saw other acupuncturists and even had a failed IVF. After seeing Monica for just 3 months, my menstrual cycle completely changed, I felt better, had more energy and GOT PREGNANT after having a frozen embryo transferred!! I have referred many friends to her for fertility issues and they have all had success. She is not only great at what she does, but she is so dedicated to her patients. A few months into my pregnancy, I began to bleed heavily and e-mailed her on Christmas day to let her know what happened. She immediately called me back, left her family dinner (on CHRISTMAS!!!) to meet me at her office for a treatment. And thanks to her, I had a healthy little boy. Seriously I can't recommend her enough. 

In May 2008, I started receiving fertility treatments from Monica. I was only starting to get serious about fertility treatments via acupuncture. All I knew was that my husband and I had been "casually" trying to get pregnant for years and thought that a pregnancy might be off the table for us.

In early May 2008, we began the fertility treatments. Monica also worked with me to develop a plan to monitor my temperature daily and to chart my cycle using web based charting tools she had access to. July 1, 2009, we had a positive pregnancy test. I genuinely believe that Monica's treatment had a direct impact on my ability to get pregnant. I continued to see Monica sporadically throughout my pregnancy to help ensure the pregnancy went well without complications, which it did. At the end of my pregnancy, my due date came and went and I was getting antsy, so again, I turned to Monica for treatment to help induce labor. Sure enough, 24 hours after treatment, my water broke.

I would strongly recommend Monica as an acupuncture service provider. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind and compassionate.

After experiencing post uterine ablation syndrome for several months, I sought out acupuncture treatment in hopes of relieving the painful episodes that were occurring on a monthly basis. I have been receiving regular acupuncture for six months now and I am experiencing significant decreased pain. Given the promising results, I plan to continue acupuncture in hopes of reducing my pain further!.
