Here is one for Erik-I first walked into the clinic with an injury which resolved quickly with Erik's attentive treatment. I feel like a discerning healthcare consumer in that after working in western clinics for ten years-I had the opportunity to work for a series of acupuncturists. I developed a criteria for choosing care to include-10 years in practice, can read Chinese, works with a colleague-as opposed to renting space in a ""health studio"", has an herbal pharmacy, returns call backs within 4 hours, is currently also getting acupuncture, can handle it when I cry, and knows some knock-knock jokes. I recently sought some more acupuncture for lifestyle stress issues-meet with alot of acupuncturists in Portland-and wound up at Erik's doorstep again-convinced I'd found the best-about 2 months later-even though the stresses are the same my reaction to the stresses have totally shifted and I am healthier than I've ever been-so if you have ever even remotely thought about trying acupuncture this is the place-act now-while memberships are still available!
Pros: Competence, caring, totally exceeds my expectations on all levels-1 stop shopping-absolute integrity-the Chez Panisse of health care-probably the best wellness investment you can make for your family
Cons: Can't think of any and I'm a tough sell-oh I thought of 1-it's not free
