I can't say enough good about Ryan. He really helped my son from the time he was 17 with back pain and migraines. Not only did he help my son with his discomfort and pain, but Ryan was really easy to work with and my son felt very comfortable with him. The online scheduling always worked well and Ryan is very good with communicating.

I've been going to MCA for a few years now. Ryan is an excellent practitioner. I've been to several other acupuncturists before finding him and not only do they charge much more, but only one was close to being as good and effective as he is. I originally went to find relief from cat allergies and it was like a miracle. From my doctor thinking i had pneumonia to being symptom free. He has also helped me with sleep problems.
Awesome at any price, but with what thay charge it's an unbelievable value!!!
