Patient Testimonials
This was my first acupuncture experience and I could not have asked for a better one. Dr. Alatan was very professional, gentle and thorough in explaining the treatment. I'm happy to report the session was painless and very relaxing. I would highly recommend Dr. Alatan.

I really enjoyed my session with Dr. Alatan. Not only is she highly skilled in acupuncture, she is also extremely kind and makes you feel comfortable right away. Her calmness is infectious, I was instantly able to relax. In addition, the facility is immaculate and beautifully decorated. I can't wait to go back!

Great practice! Claire Alatan brings hope in me. My Doctors couldn't control headaches, pain and Cholesterol problems for years..I am so glad I came to her. In two months I was well and enjoying my heath to the fullest. I am so grateful. Thank you for the amazing treatment.

Claire was very nice, professional, and easy to speak to. I felt comfortable and relaxed by her presence, even though I am typically nervous about needles and haven't gotten an acupuncture in almost 10 years. I appreciate how calmly and carefully Claire worked, and the treatment went so well. I would definitely go and get acupuncture with Claire again in the future.

I am very grateful to Dr. Alatan for her excellent knowledge, and skill in acupuncture treatment of my sciatic pain in my right leg. After about six months of intensive treatments by her, I have completely restored the activities that I value most. I had suffered from sciatic nerve pain in my right leg about two and half years ago at age 76. I had tried all kinds of treatments but the pain persisted until I discovered Dr Alatan accidentally. To show my sincere appreciation, and to help more persons who are suffering in pain now, I am happy to share my experience.

I went to Claire recently as I have Ulcerative Colitis and was flared up. Her treatments put me into remission!! If acupuncture didn't work, I would have to take steroids, see the doctor more often, and perhaps have surgery to remove part or all of my colon. So when you think of all the costs and inconvenience of the alternative, Claire is a blessing! In general, I like Claire because she has a lot of additional training and in-depth knowledge. She also has a wonderful bedside manner - gentle and careful in how she approaches everything, including letting me know when she is about to put each needle in. As someone who's been to quite a few practitioners, I would highly recommend Claire to my friends & family.

I've seen Dr. Alatan for a few months for a variety of conditions i.e. neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, finger pain, muscle tightness etc. I had been to other acupuncture clinics and had little result. Since I've been coming here, I've seen great improvement from every treatment. Not only my physical pain was improved a lot, I also feel much happier as a result of the therapies. I will continue to come here for my health and I highly recommend Dr. Alatan to everyone! I also like to add that I am almost 100% recovered now with every condition that I had. Dr. Alatan is a very humble practitioner and she helped me build my confidence in other aspects of my life.
