let me preface this by saying\r
i didn't ""believe"" in acupuncture before i met oliver.\r
\r
now\r
i have been away from portland for 4 months.\r
some of the things i miss most:\r
good food, biking, friends, better weather and the guys at inner gate acupuncture.\r
\r
in two weeks i will be back in portland and i can guarantee that i will be back to visit erik and oliver within a week.\r
\r
as a waitress, they are the most accommodating clinic i have ever encountered.\r
they understand that my hours are ever-changing and often unpredictable and are, in turn, flexible with scheduling. \r
\r
they work hard at helping me with current issues (like a busted elbows from a bike accident) while also focusing on long-term concerns. i can already feel pain relief and hope for my ever-present knee joint pain i experience from riding a bike as my sole form of transportation and running around on concrete floors daily as a waitress. \r
\r
i trust both erik and oliver with the most trivial and serious of my health concerns. but i also trust they will refer me to other, more relevant clinics if needed. it is clear they are driven by an investment in my health.\r
\r
before i last left portland, i had the chance to book my mother for an appointment at inner gate. knowing my mother is as hesitant as i once was to trust in acupuncture, i could do nothing but cross my fingers. she went in doubtful and frowning. after her session, she came out smiling. within a half an hour of leaving the office, she was begging to borrow my phone to call the clinic and inform them that--for the first time in months--she could move her arm more fully and freely. she already has plans to book another appointment with the clinic next time she visits.\r
\r
now, having seen two skeptical people fall in love with a small, quiet, hidden-away acupuncture clinic, i can do nothing but give my highest recommendation. i hope to see you there!\r

Pros: fantastic atmosphere, great location
