I will forever be grateful for acupuncture saving my life as now I am no longer a smoker. I had tried everything, even hypnotherapy, and never could quit smoking. Coming to this clinic was the best health decision I have ever made.

I am so grateful for the pain relief I have received since starting acupuncture at Emend! I had a bad prognosis of a significant disk herniation pinching on a nerve in my low back, it was debilitating. I highly recommend Erin and her clinic. She will fix you up!

I was referred to Dr. West by my OBGYN because our baby boy was in breach position. I never thought I would do acupuncture before because of my fear of needles, but what a different experience than I had anticipated. Not only did our son turn after just 3 treatments, preventing me from having to have a csection, but I actually enjoyed it!

Dr. West has the wisdom of a healer, the heart of a teacher, and the demeanor of a counselor. Instead of merely treating symptoms, she truly performs an ongoing evaluation of all the facets of health, physical and emotional, to effectively address the underlying condition(s). And she does this so genuinely and thoroughly that I am made to feel like I am her only patient! After dealing with digestive distress for almost two years, seeing countless healthcare professionals who prescribed countless tests and medications to no avail, I am finally finding relief -- and hope!!! Thank you, Dr. West! You are truly one in a million!

I started seeing Erin after having issues with my neck and back from work. I have had acupuncture treatments in the past and knew what to expect, but Erin still took the time to explain everything and offer other supplemental treatments that I might benefit from along with my acupuncture. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and I've never felt pressured into "extras". Her office is a calming space allowing for deeper relaxation. As a nurse, I can't say enough good things about Erin!

Working with Dr. West has been fantastic. When I first started seeing her I had very low energy and wasn't sleeping at night. Within the first few sessions my sleep and energy both normalized. I'm a regular client of Dr. West and see her regularly to help maintain my overall health.

Dr. West is a compassionate doctor who uses her expertise, coupled with her compassion, in order to effectively treat each patient individually. She uses her unique gift of spirit and knowledge to observe a patient's body language and eye movements, listening carefully to the voice of her patient in order to map their internal landscape and address specific ailments and disorders of the human body. Her treatment rooms are impeccably clean, manifesting peacefulness. I am beyond impressed-blessed.

I began to see Dr. West because I was searching for medicine that would aid my body and kind in hearing themselves from chemo, radiation and what doctors thought may be an auto immune. Dr. West calmed the inflammation in my body with needles and cupping. She also prescribed herbal medicines and supplements. I have experienced a steady improvement in health. I didn’t want the bandaid to cover my symptoms, but, I am building a healing from within where I am learning to trust my body again!
