I highly recommend Michael for all your Uptown Acupuncture Testimonials needs. He’s incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and truly takes the time to listen. His expertise with athletes at all levels is impressive, and he always seems to know exactly what’s needed. Whether you’re a competitive or recreational athlete, or just a parent chasing kids around, you can trust Michael to help you get back on your feet (literally!), feel great and perform at your best.
Caroline O’Connor
Former world number 18 women’s tennis player and number 4 doubles team.
I have been a patient of Michael’s for almost a year. As a former professional athlete I have been exposed to many exceptional medical professionals—and have to say that Michael is one of the best. At one point in time I could barely move because of back pain and within a couple of treatment sessions, I was quickly on the mend. Whenever I have pain due to tight muscles he is able to calm it down and get me back to my regular activities. Michael is so knowledgeable and I’m thankful I found him!
