Testimonials

“I had the pleasure of meeting Jim Chialtas when I went to his office on Laurel St. for my first visit / initial assessment. Jim was extremely knowledgeable in his field; spent quality time with me and was professional and very thorough. I learned a great deal and went away with a sense that he could definitely help me. I would recommend his services to those who want to improve their health and their quality of life using a natural and scientifically proven approach.”
-Heather S.

“I have had the pleasure of receiving acupuncture treatments from Jim over the past year several times. I always leave his office feeling more relaxed and have MUCH LESS pain in my neck and shoulders on a daily basis, as well as less headaches. I have a very labor heavy job, so my visits to Jim assist me in providing better service to my clients. I can also say that I have not been sick or had allergies in the past several months - perhaps the acupuncture has helped in keeping me well too!  Jim is very professional and personable. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to feel better - physically and mentally!”
-Leslie G.

“I've consulted with Jim for assistance with some of my most difficult cases and he's always been able to assist me with a patient. I've studied with him and trust that his work is of the highest quality and his compassionate care is most surely the finest you could find.”

"Jim is more than a great acupuncturist -- he's a great caregiver! He has helped me with everything from anxiety to insomnia to ear aches. I was really nervous for my first visit but he made me feel right at ease. I can't say anything better than that the man is a MIRACLE WORKER! Love him!"
-Suzanne B.

"Jim provided me with excellent acupuncture treatments when I was suffering from secondary infertility issues. Prior to Jim I had tried many other treatment options that simply did not work.   I am happy to say that I am feeling 100% better and as a bonus am 3 months pregnant. Amazing!"
