Bravo to Dr. Marlin Wilson for his wise knowledge of his trade. He helped me with my anxiety that was getting out of control and causing me much grief. Just one session of acupuncture and some herbs and I was a new person a day later. Much appreciation to Dr. Wilson.

Dr. Wilson is the best doctor I have ever visit. He helped me with my issue and especially my daughter. I even couldn't believe that would happen as official medicine (the best neurologist in BC) couldn't. For the first time for last 3 years she didn't have seizures whole week (before - every day several times even with several medication taking together). During next 2 months it became clear that acupuncture can help. She is planning to visit him time to time (and I hope it can reduce doses of harm medicine or even complitely to recover her). Thank you, Dr. Wilson for your knowledge and help!

I'm not sure if the doctor was having a bad day in particular or if there's something more nefarious lurking underneath, but my whole interaction with him was WAY off. I was looking for an acupuncturist for some muscle issues I've been having so I walked into his office. He's slightly tucked away in China town, but convenient. The turning point was when I actually met with him to ask him a few questions. He did not look like he was in a good state at all. He was definitely "spaced out." Both his eyes were completely bloodshot, his clothing was disheveled, and his general demeanor was one of chaos. I am not being disparaging when I say this, but he does not look well AT ALL. In speaking with him, he didn't seem to make much sense, but appeared keen to have me come back. I get that this is Victoria BC, and many people engage in recreational use of whatever they have a penchant for, but I wouldn't trust my health to somebody like this.

I consulted with Dr. Wilson a few weeks ago. He's a pleasant gentleman, but I had a really bad experience with the dietary regimen and supplements that he provided.

I suspect it's likely because he didn't take a history. All he really did was take a photograph of my tongue and check my radial pulse. Subsequently, he escorted me upstairs where acupuncture needles were inserted. This treatment was fine.

I followed his dietary advice (take Apple cider vinegar in between and honey before meals, as well as the herbal medicine). This is what really screwed me up I think. I became so sick on this regimen that I had to stop and go see my naturopath. She was floored when I told her about my experience. Anyway, I won't be returning to see Dr. Wilson.

I suffered for 6 years with severe EMF sensitivity and no one could help me. Marlin just needed to look at my tongue and he knew exactly how to treat me. I have been going weekly for 5 weeks and he can tell from my pulses and tongue how I am progressing with the needles and herbs but I KNOW I'm so much better and so does everyone that knows me. He combines a lightness and deep caring with huge amount of knowledge and interest in the workings of our energy systems. I suspect there's nothing this guy couldn't fix. The BEST!!!!! Thank you SO much!

Marlin is amazing, he can usually tell what my chief complaint is before I even sit down. I have even become so relaxed during sessions that I have been known to fall asleep. He knows so many amazing things, he's even be able to stop my horrible over active periods using moxibustion treatments, it worked so well it's absolutely amazing. I always leave so relaxed and refreshed when I walk out of there it is amazing.

Marlin is a knowledgeable, talented, gifted-healer. He is empathic, intuitive and fun. In addition to acupuncture, he uses musical therapy, massage, herbs and other tools to assist in your healing. He keeps my stomach and digestive system in balance as well as treating anxiety and headaches among a number of other ailments. I always float out of there at the end of my session.
