Testimonials

“I was skeptical about acupuncture; however, I was willing to try anything to make my pain go away. My brother recommended that I try acupuncture. I have been going to see Dr. Shakir for 6 weeks now and my migraines and knee pain have definitely improved. Dr. Shakir explains the treatment process in a manner that is both respectful and skillful. Her knowledge and expertise will definitely direct you to a path of healing.”
