Dr. Sullivan's compassion and bedside manner is by far the best I've ever had in all my life! She truly cares for all her patients, and it's 100% from her heart. She loves what she does, and all her patients. I've recommended her to family, and my PT because she's honestly that great and I trust her 100%. Thank you!

Ms. Heather is absolutely brilliant at what she does. I was trying to recover from knee surgery and nothing seemed to help in the recovery until she realized that what was holding me up wasn't my knee, but rather my quads. She started to work on my quads and almost instantly my body's recovery process kicked in. I play goalie on an ice hockey team and due to my injury and subsequent surgery was having a hard time on the ice. Now, because of Ms. Heather I'm back in net, pain free, with better range of motion, strength and leg endurance.

I recommend Ms. Heather to everyone for her brilliant diagnosis, caring style, genuine interest in her patient's health and comfort and for her passion for what she does. She is fantastic!

I not only had a wonderful experience at Sullivan Acupuncture, but have become a regular client of Heathers. Heather is knowledgeable, personable, caring and wonderful. I have been seeking treatment for difficulty with fertility and have seen some pretty amazing results. Heather is there for you via text, call or email between appointments for any questions or advice you may need.

Whatever it is you are struggling with, if you think acupuncture could help, Heather will not disappoint. And if your insurance doesn't cover acupuncture, she is very reasonable cost-wise!

Heather Sullivan is a compassionate and knowledgable professional is every regard. I started seeing Heather a couple of years ago for one issue and have voluntarily continued to see her monthly for my balancing "tune up." I feel great. Over the course of time, I have learned a great deal about the positive healing effects of acupuncture in conjunction with traditional western medicine.

I can't speak highly enough about Heather and Sullivan Acupuncture. She exhibits such knowledge and professional expertise. On my first visit to her in February with horrible sciatic pain, she put me at ease, describing her background and answering my questions as I had never seen an acupuncturist before. Heather was never challenged in my ever-changing issue throughout my time to recovery, even referring me to additional chiropractic therapy and getting me an immediate appointment to supplement my acupuncture. Finding Sullivan Acupuncture was truly a gift. I fully and confidently recommend them!

I was having stomach and digestive issues for years that no doctor could "diagnose." I had never done acupuncture before but was willing to try anything. Heather was very thorough in explaining everything and offered several different "natural" products I could try. After leaving each session with her, I felt so relaxed and calm all over. I have given her name to several friends and they have been very happy with her also!

I have been going to Sullivan Acupuncture for a few years. Heather is great! She has a gentle touch. My carpal tunnel syndrome has been relieved by receiving acupuncture on a regular basis. Acupuncture has helped me to push back carpal tunnel surgery too. Heather has also treated my husband and myself for pinched nerves in our necks. Acupuncture is a wonderful type of complimentary medical treatment and Sullivan Acupuncture is a terrific place to receive acupuncture treatment. Give Sullivan Acupuncture a try, you will be glad you did.

Heather was able to stop the migraines which I've been suffering from for over 15 years. Prior to her treatments i had been to a Chinese Accupuncturist whose treatments do not compare to Sullivan Accupuncture and only offered temporary relief.

Acupuncture was recommended to me by my doctor due to allergy/sinus swelling that was extremely irritating causing horrible neck pain and discomfort. It caused the main nerve in my face to swell, thus creating BP. Yes, I could have gone to any “acupuncture salon”, but I took my time and did some research and found Dr. Sullivan in Gurnee. Like most, I was a bit skeptical at first, but then within the first 7 days of treatment, I was a believer.

I had tried so many other crazy treatments the first 2 months I was diagnosed, had I known of acupuncture treatment soon, I would have seen her immediately! She is such a wonderful person, taking the time to listen and understand what is really going on. I have never felt rushed or pushed along. It is such a soothing and extremely relaxing experience.

Her offices are so clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend her acupuncture practice to anyone with any allergy/sinus swelling, neck, leg, back or body pain, aches or nerve issues and definitely Bells Palsy. The first session is a bit strange getting pinned, but after that you hardly feel anything. When you leave you feel so refreshed and healthy. It is such a struggle when you are sick and I wish someone had recommended this to me months sooner. So worth the time and money. Life is too short to be in pain!

I have been a patient of Heather’s for over a year. She is helping transform my life through acupuncture, cupping, nutritional and lifestyle coaching! I am happier and healthier than I have ever been in my life and I’ve lost 30 pounds! With her calm, attentive nature Heather takes the time to listen. She openly shares her knowledge to educate and help me achieve my goals.

If she doesn’t know the answer she makes the extra effort to find the answer. Heather goes above and beyond to focus on my individual needs with genuine personal attention and concern.

Heather is most compassionate and treats the mind and body. I have been twice now and gained a lot of understanding the connection between the pain I am experiencing and holding onto things from the past, Acupuncture is healing and Heather listens and knows what to do. She is such a great healer!

Never tried acupuncture until today and wasn't sure what to think but I'm amazed now. Never been able to have a massage without being in pain until now. Went in for shoulder pain but the level of relaxation I'm in has me hooked for more! Heather rocks!
