Patient reviews
In the best hands.
After my shingles diagnosis, my doctor strongly suggested acupuncture for nerve pain due to the severity of my case. My dermotologist insisted that acupuncture has helped many of her patients in the past but did comment that that is important to find a well-trained acupuncturist with experience with shingle's patients. Not being a fan of needles, it was a tough decision but had amazing results. Sarah was extremely professional with exceptional training and offered both Chinese and the smaller Japanese needles along with other modalities. I credit her treatment for my complete recovery from shingles pain.
It is five years post treament for shingles and by choice I am still enjoying the benefits of acupuncture for general health reasons. It is my pleasure to give Sarah Dufresne the highest recommendation for her outstanding skills and her compassion for her patients. I am pleased that she has become an integral part of my care team.
I'm always in the best hands with Sarah. She's informed and experienced. I feel completely resourced when I leave. Did I mention the flower essences!
Sarah is a miracle worker. She helped me so much with pain control as well as significant digestive issues. She is very holistic in her approach, I highly recommend her and am very grateful for her knowledge and services.
This was a wonderful experience. Sarah is thorough and knowledgeable and her expertise is a blessing! I left feeling invigorated!!
Acupuncture first-timer and Sarah made me feel so at ease. Looking forward to my next appointment!
