Eric is absolutely fantastic! I went to see him for muscle knots and shoulder pain. I actually found Eric because he specifically works with muscles & trigger points and uses an acupuncture style called dry needling.
When I arrived Eric made sure I was comfortable and explained everything in clearly. He was very straight-forward and there was no sales pitch. The treatment was great and I felt relief immediately afterwards (along with a bit of soreness). I've only had 2 treatments but the neck and shoulder pain are gone! I feel like a new person! Highly recommended, I would recommend Eric for anyone

Eric has been my #1 go to when the inevitable body pains flare. I’ve had a couple bouts of severe shoulder pain and low back pain from yoga and cycling that he’s had 100% success in helping me walk out in less acute pain than when I walked in. Sweet relief! His needling is spot on and the electrical stim takes it to another level in a great way. I have referred many friends and patients to him who have experienced similar relief. If you’re in pain, I highly recommend a visit with Eric to get you moving in a new direction.

I have become extremely familiar with dry needling over the last 4 years as I have found it to be the 1 and only technique to get immediate pain relief from a chronic lower back injury I have been dealing with for over 6 years.
People will tell you it can be painful, but I promise you, if you have lost hope in your chronic pain ever going away, dry needling is a technique you should most definitely try. There will be a short term pain and discomfort, but it is well worth the long term relief you will get from it.
This was my first experience using Eric for dry needling and I can honestly say

Dr. Eric is such a wonderful and compassionate acupuncturist! I have been going to Dr. Eric for a few years now to help with my chronic digestive issues, stress relief, and overall wellbeing. I always feel so much better after an acupuncture session with Dr. Eric. He is super knowledgeable in all areas of health and wellness. He gives you plenty of time to share your health concerns and offers treatment plans that truly work. My digestive issues have improved, sleep is better, my anxiety has lessened, and my sense of peace has returned. I highly recommend Dr. Eric as an acupuncturist. He is the

Eric is a kind and highly knowledgeable healer. I came to him desperate for help and with little hope after every doctor I went to had no idea what was going on. He patiently and kindly listened and gave me a thorough treatment plan, which I followed, and after giving my body time to respond, I healed. I am still so grateful. I have lived in many major cities all over the US and have yet to find anyone as good as Eric.

I'd scheduled a consultation with Eric for my girlfriend, we're visiting the US during a family vacation and she has recently developed some kind of chronicle pain in her knees, and acupuncture therapy has been one of the best treatments she tested so far. Since Dr Eric had such great recommendations and reviews, we decided to schedule an appointment trough the Internet. I've never been more mistreated or offended during a clinical procedure in my entire life.
I drove my girlfriend to Eric's office and, upon her arrival, he said that she didn't had an appointment. He asked for the online confirmation

Eric is fantastic. His treatments leave me refreshed and rejuvenated. He has spent extensive time in asia studying with masters over there and he brings this knowledge to us know. He is fantastic with women's health. He is a great listener, which I find super important in a health provider, and many times he has taken the time to listen to whatever it is that is going on with me in a calm and gentle manner. I never had any pain with his needling technique. There are so many acupuncturists out there it's hard to know who to trust, however, Eric is one of the gems!

I could fill this entire page with good things to say about Eric!
I had a debilitating pinched nerve in my neck that I got from sleeping on a nasty foldout bed. I thought it would go away eventually, but after nearly a week of suffering and being unable to move, work, play...I went to Eric. I wish I had sooner.
He squeezed me into his schedule the same day after hearing my sob story. :-)
His demeanor is amazing. He very calmly explains everything he's doing and creates a very welcoming and fun environment.
