Reviews
I have been working with Dr. Tirtha Mendake on my sprain ankle and have definitely noticed improvement. Would recommend!
Dr. Mendake always listens to what is going with me, physically and emotionally. You can tell she really cares about her patients and how she can tailor the treatment to provide maximum comfort. She also will give advice for things you can do at home, like diet adjustments. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mendake, especially if you are new to the world of acupuncture.
Very thorough and treats every issue you have.
Attentive and very thoughtful in her approach. Dr. Mendake is the best!
Excellent care.
Dr. Mondale was thoughtful in her treatment, and attentive to all of my health and wellness questions and concerns.
