Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Mom. I know how well you look after your patients, which is why I really wanted Mom to see you. Since seeing you last week her arthritis pain has lessened significantly and she is feeling really motivated to actively manage her own health through nutrition and acupuncture treatment. You really have given her hope.

I have been totally amazed with the treatment I have received. I have been in pain for the last 6 months or so and regular medicine didn’t work. After my 1st treatment I was astonished with how good I felt.
I would recommend this course of treatment to all of my friends!
he weekly acupuncture treatments I took from Melissa Carr over a period of 3 1/2 months helped to relieve the severe pain of a herniated disk. At the onset of this condition, I could walk only a few feet at a time, and that only with the help of a cane, bent forward, and medicated with painkillers. Improvement was gradual and I believe the acupuncture played a significant role in my recovery. Now, six months later, I am pretty well back to normal, though I am careful not to carry anything very heavy.
The marathon went really well! I ended up breaking all my personal records. 3:43:07 for the marathon. I think I placed about 700 among 4000 participants. Thank you so much for all your help. It’s awesome to feel healthy!

Melissa has in-depth knowledge of the body and a sensitive understanding of how pain can affect physical and mental health. I felt comfortable and trusting of her techniques. In addition to the acupuncture treatments, her nutritional advice has aided in improving my well being as a whole. My pain has decreased significantly, my migraines occur less often and I am thankful for Melissa’s dedication in her practice that has led to my improvements.

Informative and helpful advice/sessions. Very relaxing!! I am experiencing immediate results. I had originally gone in for acupuncture and am now receiving many forms of treatment and well-rounded advice in addition to acupuncture.
The acupuncture treatment was very helpful. It addressed an acute condition/pain which disappeared within the first 4 sessions. It also helped with other longer term issues (insomnia, muscle tension). I enjoyed the holistic approach and the variety of treatments (acupuncture, herbs, cupping). Very nice atmosphere at the office!
I used to catch 5-10 colds every winter season. Melissa helped me boost my immune system with Chinese herbs and offered suggestions for dietary and lifestyle changes. This year was the first that I didn’t catch a single cold!
I am writing you because I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate how you have helped me with my health over the past two years. Even though I came to you initially for your qualifications as an acupuncturist, I was pleasantly surprised when you began my treatment by focusing on all aspects of my health and wellbeing. While I believed I was on a good vitamin regime, I quickly realized that my hodge podge of supplements was wasteful and ill-conceived. Reducing my vitamins and minerals to a few key products saved me money and time, but most of all I have a renewed energy, the likes of which I have not felt in many many years.
Of course, I have also enjoyed and benefited from my acupuncture treatments for both general maintenance and acute issues.
I am confident that the ounce of early intervention that you provide me is saving me from a pound of painful problems in the future. Thank you very much for your support and expertise in keeping me at optimum health and performance.
It is important to know that I do not hold this opinion alone. Many of my friends and clients who have come to you for ailments ranging from mechanical knee problems to painful digestion issues share my gratitude and feelings of good fortune to have you as our first stop care provider.
I look forward to continuing on my path of good health and offering my friends and associates the opportunity to benefit from your skills and talents as a healer.
Thank you again for your contribution and service.
The course of treatments was very satisfying, as the aches and pain I had were quickly diagnosed and remedial treatment was articulated and conducted in a very positive and sensitive manner. I was very pleased with the whole process, as it clearly worked, and that was the relief of a number of years of nagging and continuous discomfort.
Your acupuncture sessions have been surprisingly effective. The sharp pain was immediately negated and there was just some residual dull pain which was addressed with succeeding treatments. Thanks!!
A few months ago I began seeing Dr. Melissa Carr as I had been suffering from back and pelvic pain and wanted to give acupuncture a try.
Not only was I pain-free within the first 3 days of my first visit, but I have been pain-free since that time. Dr. Carr is a total professional who took a thorough medical history, but also explained in detail how acupuncture works and how it would help me. Her patient rooms are clean and Dr. Carr follows strict hygiene protocols. Acupuncture turned out to be painless and very relaxing…I look forward to going as I can have a 45 minute nap!! Dr. Carr also prescribed a herbal tea to help me with my pain and it is actually not bad, although she had warned me it would taste awful.
Dr. Carr’s office is welcoming and her staff friendly. She also has a good-sized library on wellness and natural health, which her patients are welcome to use.
I highly recommend Dr. Carr as an acupuncturist and Dr. of TCM.
