This place is wonderful ~ I injured my back last Tuesday and I did two back to back sessions the next couple days, once with Sita and once with Elizabeth. Both of them have a really warm, and compassionate disposition.
I think I've only seen an acupuncturist a couple of times before this experience~ I have to say that this time around, it worked wonders! Two acupuncture sessions, a bodywork session from Thainamic, rest and lots of meditation, I no longer experience any back pain !!
The communal rooms are so peaceful: the music they play, the comfy chairs and table (I prefer the table) and

I am so grateful for Hillcrest Community Acupuncture! The space is full of positivity, healing and our community is that much better because of HCA. I've had multiple sessions with Oscar, and each time I feel cared for and leave feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. I've recommended HCA to all my friends and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a team of empathetic healers who have all the right intentions.

I always look forward to my weekly appointments with Sita. She's so kind, warm and skilled. The two community rooms are peaceful - there is always a wonderful, soothing smell and the ambient music played is just right. The reclining chairs are comfortable and the affordable price is great. The only downside is the parking lot - the spaces are so tiny! - but at least they have parking! I truly love it here.

I am a senior, who experiences many side effects when taking most medications. Acupuncture for me is my "medicine" of choice.
The treatment is painless, restful, and without negative side effects.
I have been going to Hillcrest Community Acupuncture for the past several years when I have an ailment/condition and always come away feeling better.
This acupuncture clinic is extremely professional, nourishing, and clean (especially important during Covid) with sessions easy to schedule, affordable, and given by highly trained acupuncturists.

I'm a big fan of this place because they actually make acupuncture affordable. My insurance won't cover acupuncture, but it's been something I've been wanting to try for a long time. I have very very tight neck and shoulder muscles along with knee pain that comes with being a runner. I got acupuncture from here and it was like a spiritual experience.
I had never gotten acupuncture done before, but they made me feel super comfortable and relaxed. After the session I felt immediate results in my neck and knee. I definitely need to go back and continuously do it, but I was impressed

I came to Hillcrest Community Acupuncture by recommendation of a friend for my headaches. I have never tried acupuncture before and have a fear of needles so I never really even considered it an option honestly. Sita is amazing! I have only been twice so far but she will be my go to for sure. Kind, gentle and just knows what she is doing. I am proud to say she has helped my headaches along with stopping the night sweats. What a wonderful relief! Thank you Sita! I will see you again soon!

Sita is so amazing! I am new to this location, but have been going to acupuncture for many years - and Sita is one of the best! Not only does she do amazing work, but she gives you tips and tricks to manage and help with your concerns on your own time, and these tips have been very helpful for me. I definitely felt so good leaving here. They are GREAT with following the recommended CDC guidelines for Covid-19. All chairs have plenty of distance, and everyone keeps their masks on. Sheets and blankets are all single use, and everything feels very clean - yet still relaxing. Great experience here

Hillcrest Community Acupuncture is a sanctuary!
I believe that I've received treatments from all of the acupuncturists here, and every single person is incredibly gifted. That said, I think that Oscar is one of the most talented healers I've ever encountered, an angel perhaps!
He's the kind of person that you visit for treatment of a stiff neck, and after a consultation and checking your pulses, he can say gently "is your heart also a little sad right now?" And will heal both your neck and your emotional turmoil in tandem.
You leave here feeling calm, soothed, and relaxed

I am very thankful to have Hillcrest Acupuncture as a resource for what ails me! I don't care who you get - for example, this morning I had guest acupuncturist Lilly and she was outstanding. Just what is it? The smiles, the gentle, healing touch, the welcoming aura when you finally arrive! This is a great place. You will be pleased as I was!

I've been going to Hillcrest Community Acupuncture for over a year. Prior to my first treatment I didn't know much about acupuncture but now that I've experienced it regularly, it's my go to for most ailments. The staff is welcoming and wants the best for you. Oscar, who I see regularly, is one of the kindest and gentlest souls and will do everything he knows to help you feel better whether it's a backache, sleep troubles, stress, or you need a boost in energy. Regarding costs, HCA uses a sliding scale so you can afford the treatment even if you have a tight budget.

I have been coming to Hillcrest Community Acupuncture for the last 5 years. I started back in 2014 after two years of trying everything to get pregnant. A friend had mentioned that I needed to have my cycle reset in a sense and that acupuncture helped her and a few others with it. After two months of once a week visits, I became pregnant with my daughter who is turning 4 this summer. Not only did it truly help with my fertility issues but it realigned my cycle as well.
I later began going to acupuncture for my chronic migraines. It helped more than any other methods I have tried. I just had a

Finally writing my much overdue update. I'm 44 and my husband and I wanted one more child. We'd run into issues over the years and were told by doctors it would never happen. I had more faith in my body than that. So I turned to Hillcrest Community Acupuncture. I started going to see Oscar and/or Sita twice a week for the month of November 2018. In December, Sita put me on an herbal regimen. A miracle! After 4 years of trying and having no luck (including a few losses), I was pregnant by the end of December! Our little man is perfect and healthy and thriving at 8 months old now

Wonderful healing experiences here for a year and a half. First my shoulder I injured when moving, then gastroenterinitis, then shingles, then the onset of upper respiratory infections. The rooms are large with comfortable chairs, soothing colors and music and great privacy arrangements. Love it also that we can book online.

I've been coming here for about a year now and love the change I'm seeing in my nody everytime I go. First of all you can walk in and they are always so nice. They ask you what you're in for and they sit you down on these comfortable La Z Boys. Once the needles are in they offer a blanket. Since its a community area you can stay as long as you need. It's so relaxing in there I tend to take a nap. My energy feels so much lighter each time and I feel my pain subsiding. Please try it out!

Sascha is awesome! Several months ago I came here for bronchitis and wanted an alternative treatment other than antibiotics. Great place to rest and relax while healing! The few treatment plus the Chinese herbs worked great and I am so happy not to be filling my body with drugs! I immediately felt a shift after the first treatment. Paulie the healer dog was a great addition!
Treatments are affordable as they use a sliding scale. In fact, I am on my way there now to treat the bug that is going around that it seems I may have gotten.
