Frequently asked questions
Jonah K.
Dr. Nirali Patel is both a very skilled acupuncturist and a wonderfully caring woman.
She absolutely wants the best for her patients and takes the time to make everyone who comes into her clinic feel seen and heard. I consider myself very lucky to have met her and my debilitating back pain has been unquestionably helped by her treatments.
Within the first month of treatment (acupuncture and cupping), I had seen significant improvement in my neck/upper back muscles. Dr. Patel is not only kind and welcoming, but she really listens to her patient's needs and is thorough in her patient education. I highly recommend anyone her services!
