Dr. D is remarkable. I highly recommend a visit. While the diplomas and certificates that line the walls reinforce his commitment to learning and dedication to his craft, it is his demeanor, willingness to listen (before acting), approachable explanations, and no pressure sales environment that continue to make me feel comfortable and supported.I especially appreciate that no matter how I show up; depressed, in pain, in good spirits or with questions, its all good.
Ive been seeing Stuart for a couple of years - hes a great guy, and his service is superb! One of my most profound experiences with his treatment was after some abdominal surgery, and I was just unable to get my energy back - after one treatment, I felt remarkably better, and my quick recovery from the surgery was certainly helped by having my energy back. He has also been very helpful in treating the occasional back and neck pain. Id recommend him without hesitation...
Stuart is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive with a great treatment-table-side manner. He is always teaching and learning in addition to healing. I originally started seeing Stuart because of headaches. He was able to help with acute pain as well as helping to reduce the number and intensity of my headaches. Hes helped me with a number of other issues that Ive struggled with for years that have confounded my Western doctors. He looks to the simplest, least expensive, least invasive solution first which I appreciate. I also appreciate that he believes his job is simply to bring the body back into balance.
Stewart is great, such a nice guy, really cares about your problems, and is very flexible with scheduling and cancellations. Hes the gold standard for how a practitioner should run their practice. And of course hes excellent at acupuncture too!
Stuart is not only my acupuncturist, but has become a friend. He always sits and listens to how I am feeling, and treats based on that. He calls himself my cheerleader. He is there to make me feel better, and just to smile. We talk a few times a week, even on weeks I am not doing acupuncture. He just wants to make sure I am doing well. I see him for a myriad of things, and he always makes it better!
After just a few sessions with Stuart (acupuncturist; Awakening Acupuncture) the pain in my shoulder dissipated. After the first session, I had the first pain-free night of sleep in over a year. This was my introductory experience to acupuncture, and I would tell anyone that it was well worth my time, and I am not planning to go to anyone else! Thanks Stuart, for using your knowlege of eastern medicine to help me.
