Oro Valley Acupuncture

Saw the ad, checked the Google reviews. No business mention on Yelp. I arrived at the office for my appointment on time and remained there as a gentlemen patient was making multiple appointments all the while, the small waiting room was filling up with 4-5 patients. I was acknowledged and a couple of patients were taken back after Mr. Appointment Book was finished, two patients remained and I was taken back to a treatment room to wait - for another 30 minutes. By this time, I get it; you're busy - I'd walked past the multiple patient boards which also provided a clue in case I didn't already feel like I was in a clinic not an acupuncture setting. Kari arrived and after a very brief conversation says she thinks it would help if I came twice a week to the tune of $2200. UP FRONT. When asked about insurance, she demurs, saying oh you talk to them since you know them best. Uhhhh baloney. If you're In-Network, its your distinct responsibility to 'talk to them' and submit the bills. If you're out of network, it's mine. I did receive a treatment but in a different room than the first - this with partial height walls!! I got to hear my neighbor tell the same story twice about fracturing his ribs - all while I'm mid treatment which is supposed to be healing and quiet. And unlike any other practitioner I've been to, Kari doesn't take a pulse. This did not feel like caring, attentive acupuncture; lots of regulars (Mr Appt Book and Fractured Rib among them) and upsells to ozone or electronic acupuncture. Felt like a cash grab andwas more like an ER, triage here, put them there, treatment here...next!!Hard pass.

I use OV Acupuncture weekly. They are fantastic. I suffer from severe RA. My RA is now in my neck. It was so bad I ended up in the ER. I reached out to Kari, and she got me in right away. I am going, to be honest: after the first treatment, I was nearly back - I couldn't believe it. By the third treatment, back-to-back days - I was me again. She is a godsend. The whole staff cares about you as a patient and treats you with the utmost respect. If you need to reschedule an appointment, they will do so. I can say that they are incredible. Mega stars.

I have gotten much relief from their office of acupouncture for my feet. Everyone there are as helpful as Kari. I give all a 5 star rating. Ruth Hoffman

Thanksgiving Day 2023 I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy after spending 4 1/2 hours in the Oro Valley Hospital ER. The following Tuesday was my first appointment at Oro Valley Acupuncture. Just TEN sessions later, I no longer show any of the symptoms that I initially had. My face is again symmetrical, my smile is not lopsided and I am no longer gnawing the inside of my left cheek. The minor discomfort of acupuncture needles was nothing compared to the discomfort I felt before acupuncture treatments. I strongly recommend exploring the benefits of treatments at Oro Valley Acupuncture.

Very effective treatment in a comfortable environment. The staff genuinely cares about your health and Kari addresses your concerns head-on. I saw her for golfers elbow, did her treatment plan and was back playing pain free. They offer additional more modern approaches to help your healing progress, such as ozone, O3-Reboot Therapy at no additional cost. Highly recommend this gem.
