Where do I begin... I just can't say enough good things about Mend Acupuncture. The office is always clean and I never have to wait for a room. Rob is always so professional and kind to greet you at every visit. Dr. West is an absolute Gem of a human being and so amazing at what she does. She takes the time to listen to every concern and uses her vast knowledge and skills to treat every concern with care and respect. They don't treat you like an everyday patient or customer, they treat you like family. There is no place like Mend Acupuncture and I feel so lucky to have found them. Dr. West is extremely knowledgeable. When I describe a particular ache or pain, she immediately knows what and where the problem is. She has made many recommendations for exercise and supplements to assist with my overall health. Both Dr. West and Rob are very friendly and compassionate and have created a very warm and welcoming environment. They are truly wonderful people. Acupuncture has made a tremendous difference in my life and I thank Mend Acupuncture for that!

Dr. West and Rob are some of the most genuine and caring people I have met. Dr. West makes every treatment unique and makes you feel very comfortable throughout the entire treatment. I originally came to her office with some lower back pain, along with some other areas of concern... and I would say it was after my second treatment that I really noticed a difference in my back pain! I am a nursing student who often carries a lot of tension in my shoulders/neck and every treatment she helps me to do what feels like “resetting” my body and release that tension. When I first started getting treatments I was having some anxiety and headaches with occasional migraines... and my anxiety has completely diminished with my treatments, and I get way fewer headaches and I can’t remember that last time I had a migraine. The treatments are so relaxing, I fall asleep almost every time, and get upset when it’s over. Although her treatments are just amazing in general, my favorite aspect is that Dr. West truly cares about your entire health and well being physically, mentally, and spiritually. She thrives at providing holistic care and I appreciate her concern about my overall health rather than just providing the treatment. I highly recommend Mend Accupuncture!

We are incredibly grateful for Dr. West. After suffering two miscarriages I went to see Dr. West for fertility acupuncture treatments. I was able to get pregnant within weeks of starting treatment. Dr. West and her staff provided an amazing support and care during the first trimester of the pregnancy. I felt incredibly welcomed at every appointment. Dr. West take time to really get to know her patients, and is always available to answer any questions. Highly recommended!

This clinic is AMAZING! I had been doing artificial reproductive technology for almost 2 years without any luck. I had given up, but went to see Dr. West and within 2.5 months, we are pregnant!! She has renewed my faith in my body and my husband and I are thrilled! I should have started with acupuncture and herbal medicine before!

Dr. Hill (or West, now) was always genuinely interested in my well being, not just at the office, but outside as well!

I had been struggling with horrible sinuses for a year and a half as well as anxiety my whole life. I was always on and off allergy medications, nasal sprays and even antibiotics, but nothing ever seemed to work. I had never had Acupuncture done before, and although I was a little nervous about what Acupuncture entailed, it was not scary at all! Acupuncture is super relaxing and a great time to re-center your mind, body and soul! When I first met Dr. Erin West, she was super friendly, inviting and truly wanted to help get me back on the right track to feeling better. She instantly made me feel welcome and just after my initial visit, I knew this is where I needed and wanted to be! I have been seeing Dr. Erin West for a couple of months now and I absolutely LOVE Acupuncture! I feel better and better after each visit and it is just such an amazing feeling to finally be feeling better. I have to give a huge thanks to Dr. Erin West because I truly would not have been able to do it without her! I tell her all the time that I wish I would have met her years ago because she has truly helped me SO SO much and I will forever be grateful! I highly recommend any and every one to see Dr. Erin West because not only is she amazing and super knowledgeable at what she does, but she is just an absolutely amazing human being! Dr. Erin West truly cares about you as a person and your overall well-being and it is just a breath of fresh air to have finally met someone like that! Thank you Dr. Erin West for all you have done for me and continue to do, I am so thankful for you! As well, thank you Rob for always working with me and my work schedule so that we can find the perfect times for me to come in for Acupuncture! Such awesome people at Emend Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and just an overall great place and relaxing atmosphere to be! :) Brittany

This clinic was a life saver while I was going through IVF. After the first round of hormones, my body stopped having a period and I developed a cyst. My fertility specialist told me we have to wait for any further treatment until both of those resolved. I say Dr. West and within 2 months, everything was back to normal and now I am pregnant! This is wonderful integrated medicine and I am so glad I came.

This is the most caring doctor I have ever met. She treats your whole body and was great at fixing my constant headaches and neck pain that no other doctor could fix.
