Many people, you are probably one, are searching for a sensible holistic and personal approach to their health care. Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine offers a long history of safe and effective therapies for your health concerns. Each system of medicine has its uses and we would not want to be without the advances of modern medicine.
But modern medicine is often at war with itself. One study will support a therapy or a drug and another disagrees with it. That's the way science works and unfortunately for us we get stuck in the middle. We become confused even when it comes to simple lifestyle choices like diet and exercise. Traditional Chinese medicine offers clear and easy to apply health guidance tested over the past two thousand years.

Michael is simply the best acupuncturist I have ever seen. I’ve been seeing him steadily for over 17 years. Every time I have a problem, he makes it better. He has been instrumental in managing my chronic pain and making my life livable. Not only is he an amazing provider, he’s an amazing person as well. He is thoughtful and well educated and goes the extra mile for everyone. You would look a long time and not be able to find someone betterThen Michael. He has treated my whole family.. He is particularly good with the unusual, often able to diagnose and figure out what’s wrong even when my

Michael was literally a miracle for me. If you are looking for a provider that will really take the time to know you and all the details of your pain and lifestyle - he is the one. I went from debilitating fibromyalgia, where I could barely get out of bed and needed morphine just to function at all, to being morphine-free and reclaiming my life. And I give a large amount of the credit for this to Michael. He is not only an exceptional acupuncturist but is extremely educated in the science of our bodies - from mitochondrial health to gut flora and beyond...I can't possibly put into one review how

I see Michael for acupuncture and cupping treatments. I haven’t found anything else that takes care of my pain and discomfort like a visit to see Michael does.
He always takes the time to find out what I need as a patient, he always asks about my family like he cares, and his online scheduling is so convenient.
I have had 2 of my 3 children treated by Michael for sports injuries and he makes them feel comfortable before he ever starts treatment. My kids leave saying they feel even better than before they were hurt.
I will continue to recommend Michael and his care to those I feel could benefit

I met with Michael Pope for consultation and treatment relating to severe muscle tightness and pain in my quads and IT bands on both legs. Also, severe burning and pain at my outer hip area on both sides. Michael provided the best healthcare analysis and consultation I have experienced. The acupuncture treatment (only one so far) freed my upper legs muscles and the tightness has not returned. The hip pain had to be treated in an urgent care situation and I am on prescription anti-inflammatory for that (for now). I highly recommend Michael Pope. This was my first experience with acupuncture. The
