It has been pleasure to be your Acupuncturist during my 14 years in operation here on Nantucket. I am extremely appreciative of your continued patronage and sometimes find it hard to believe I have been an Acupuncturist for now 19 years! For the last 5 years, I have continued to charge the same rates for my services in spite of rising expenses.
