What Our Reviews Say

I have been seeing Nikki since 2017 and she has helped me in so many ways! I first visited her clinic with chronic back pain that wasn’t responding to other treatments. After working with her I found tremendous relief. Since then, she has helped me deal with the pain of a broken rib and during COVID I had some anxiety issues and found acupuncture was such a relief.

I've been visiting TCM EastWest for acupuncture for about three years now, and it's made a real difference. I initially came in with persistent arm and shoulder pain, and the ongoing relief was noticeable after just a few sessions. Since then, I've continued periodic treatments as part of my regular health maintenance and de-stressing. The care is professional, consistent, and genuinely effective. Highly recommended.

Had my first acupuncture experience at TCM EastWest. It was so great! Nikki accessed the pain I’ve been having in my ankle from basketball. She explained the meridians and placed needles appropriately to help target that area. I left the appointment feeling great! Thank you!
