Six Fishes is a wonderful neighborhood practice. I feel very lucky to be treated by their expert staff! They have helped me navigate physical and mental health challenges. Highly recommended, especially if you've never had acupuncture and want to try it.

Very unprofessional customer service when it comes to being flexible about appointments. There were several occasions where I needed to cancel, due to unforeseen circumstances, and was lead to believe it was impossible to reschedule my appointment leading to a charge for a service I never received. So very unprofessional!
