It's kinda like magic!

by threecup at Citysearch

If you have been thinking about getting acupuncture you should really give it a try. I have seen both Emily and Sarah for various types of issues. They both made me feel very comfortable and I could tell they really care about helping me. I was treated for back pain, anxiety and poor digestion. I love getting such quick and lasting results without using prescription medication. It's nice to get treatment without having to go to a "doctor's office." I always keep them in mind when I feel just a bit out of balance. I always feel so much better after my acupuncture treatments.

Give it a try! Good luck! Cheers!

• Pros: They are open Monday-Saturday, on the Yellow MAX line and always on time. They always find time to fit you into their busy schedules!
• Cons: Can be difficult to park in the middle of the day. There is a parking lot around the corner though!

So sleek.

by RileyFrancis at Citysearch

At first the set up of Sarah and Emily's acupuncture clinic seemed a strange. But after becoming accustomed to the layout, it proved the perfect use of the charming Gotham Building in the beginnings of North Portland. I have been treated by Emily for some neglected injuries for over three months now and it has been a fully positive experience. She is compassionate and thoughtful, and her understanding of the human condition extends far beyond her knowledge of needles and meridians. Get out of the doctor's office and into Acupuncture Northwest.

Life Changing

by JohnsLanding4 at Citysearch

I would stop going to the dentist before I would stop going to Sarah and Emily. Whether it's a mood or a muscle... they make me feel better immediately, and the results have changed my life over time. I started going for anxiety and they have treated me for things that I thought were just apart of life. I truly cannot say enough about them... right down to Julia who works at the front desk; I am so grateful for all they do.

AMAZING

by m098 at Citysearch

Sarah is simply the best acupuncturist I have been to in Portland. I am an athlete with lots of chronic and nagging injuries and she has worked her magic to help me heal on the inside and outside. I love the fact that she respects my desire and need to lead a very active lifestyle and doesn't tell me that I "have to" or "need to" quite doing what I love. I always feel comfortable talking with her, and I feel like she really cares about me as a person. GO SEE SARAH, you'll be happy for it!!!

• Pros: Caring and resepectful practitioner
• Cons: None

Completely amazing results!

by Clairst at Citysearch

Sarah listens very well, and knows what to do to help her patients. The issues I wanted help with are much improved, along with a side benefit of improving my sleep, digestion and a few other things. Awesome!! The facilities are always meticulously clean, and everyone always has a great, positive attitude. Highly recommended!!

Wonderful Healers!

by rhodie1211 at Citysearch

Emily is truly a miracle worker! She is so kind and compassionate and truly cares about her clients. Adults and children alike feel so relaxed and peaceful in her presence.

I have suffered from severe eczema my entire life. In the last 12 years, I have been treated by 10 different dermatologist, with little success. At times the rash was so painful and itchy, I would wake up crying in the middle of the night. After only 2 visits with Emily, my rash went away and I felt amazing. I have been going weekly now for 7 months and the rash has not come back. She has also treated me periodically for asthma, stress, back pain, and menstrual cramps with the same amazing results!

In addition, Emily has been treating my 3 year old daughter for allergies and chronic bronchitis. The results are so phenomenal, that my daughter never has to take cough syrup anymore and rarely has to take any allergy medications. She really looks forward to her acupuncture visits and can't wait to go show "Dr. Emily" her latest dance moves, draw her pictures, or sing her the songs that she has learned in pre-school. She even role-plays being Emily with her friends and pretends to poke them with "prickers and thorns", and "magic stickers." She really LOVES Emily and I believe Emily loves her too!

Even Julia at the front desk is amazing. She is so accommodating in making quick appointments when you need one and is always friendly and welcoming when you get there. She is very sweet and patient with my daughter and has even watched her for me a few times so that I could really relax during my treatment. I am so appreciative of these two great ladies and can't say enough good things about them.

I highly recommend Acupuncture Northwest to anyone suffering from any type of stress, pain, or other or chronic problems. You will feel immediately welcomed, comfortable and cared for, and will leave your first visit feeling much better than you did before you arrived.

She is AMAZING

by djtg at Citysearch

Never have I come across anyone in the health care world that is as caring, compassionate and so willing to go the extra mile. From the moment I walked through the door, Sarah made me feel at ease and was confident she could help me work through my stress. She never wavers in her resolve and her ability to listen is refreshing. There is no doubt in my mind that she has helped me manage my daily stresses and put me back on the right track.

Unbelievably Positive Experience.

by gfogg at Citysearch

I approached acupuncture with skepticism and apprehension, but I had no choice; I was desperate. I had been in great hip pain for three days (unable to sleep and needed crutches to get around), and my doctor couldn't see me for another day. Pain medication was ineffective. I called Sarah; she had no appointments available, but made time because she could tell the pain I was experiencing. After one session, my pain was relieved by 80%, and I didn't need my crutches. After another session the next day, I was 95% better. She is the finest healthcare provider I have encountered in my 61 years. Great listener, exudes competence, compassion and confidence and provides results, all at a fraction of the cost I would have incurred otherwise. My wife calls her a miracle worker, and I agree.

BEST acupucnture in PORTLAND!!

by pizaput at Citysearch

Sarah is the best. I came to see her barely able to walk and after 1 treatment was off my crutches!! After 2 treatments was 150% better. It was almost like magic. I cant even imagine if I had not gone into see her the process I would have gone through. She knew exactly what was wrong with me. She is so kind and patient. We are now continuing to work on the underlying problem with my muscles to get me into tip top shape so that I don't hurt myself again.
