She is so amazing. She Listens and she patiently addresses concerns and she educates thoroughly! I felt so relaxed and almost fell asleep on my acupuncture session. She also puts this infrared lamp on my body during treatments that felt so divine. I went home and I fell asleep like a baby! I highly recommend Melissa Carr and her gentle approach!

What patients said about Melissa

Geri Gemos · Google · 30 Jul 2022

I have been to only one appointment so far and have already referred two of my friends. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Carr. She is so knowledgable about her work and has a wealth of information to share. She takes the time to understand the issues at hand and makes a plan to tackle them. Her bedside manner is incredible, meaning that she listens! My first acupuncture treatment on my extremely sore shoulder worked wonders. I can not wait to see what appointment number two will bring. It is very refreshing to have a caregiver be so interested, attentive and actually wanting to help.
