Ted is a lifesaver! I had tried getting relief from my peri-menopause and hip pain for years. I was so frustrated with not having any luck or improvement with my regular practitioners, ibuprofen, massage therapy, or yoga stretches, I tried acupuncture. Wow! After my series of visits paired with an herbal prescription, my mobility greatly increased and the hip and menstrual pain is so minimal and infrequent. Plus, I rarely use ibuprofen anymore! With his love for & dedication to the art of acupuncture and his professionalism & down to earth nature, I highly recommend Ted for pain management. Thanks Ted!

Ted has always been great with his customer's needs and provides great service. He treated my carpal tunnel symptoms two years ago. I have been able to maintain it on my own through continuous use of the herbal ointment that he prescribed whenever I experience pain. It works magic! Thank you, Ted.

What stood out most to me about Ted is that he took the time to understand what was going on with me and didn't rush to prescribe a treatment. He is a high-touch, personable doctor who takes pride in his work and truly cares for his patience. I will absolutely go back.

I first went to Ted with chronic migraines. Within six weeks, they were gone. That was almost 10 years ago! Since then, he's helped me with Lowe back pain from my years of long distance running. We've worked on neck and shoulder pain. I am currently experiencing frozen should symptoms in my right shoulder and I have more mobility than I've had in months. I've also experienced relief from pre-menopausal symptoms. I can not recommend Ted highly enough.

Ted is amazing! He always knows exactly what treatment I need. I feel so much better when I leave. He treats my health issues holistically and spends time understanding what is going on before and after the treatment. He's very knowledgeable about Eastern medicine and uses that paired with his overall healthcare knowledge to treat his patients.
