Report
I've been going here on and off for years. Over 10 years ago, Scot cured bursitis in my shoulder with a couple of treatments. I'd been getting steroid shots into the shoulder joint when it got bad for two years before seeing him. Since, no problems, and I am very active (weight lifting, martial arts, general silliness). Recently, I lost hearing in one ear after a diving incident. I'd been deaf and on steroids for 6 days, thought to try acupuncture, and about 4 hours after treatment, the hearing started coming back. He's also helped with other injuries and issues, but those two were incredible successes

Scot has been an integral part of my wellness journey! I was a little hesitant to try acupuncture, but Scot calmed my fears immediately. He has a demeanor that makes you feel safe and cared about. His practice is very professional and makes scheduling (and remembering!) appointments easy. The individual rooms are private and very relaxing and the time I spend having treatment is priceless. I highly recommend Scot and Balance Acupuncture!

Unfortunately I was not able to be seen in the clinic BUT that did not stop one of the practitioners from speaking with me on the phone and walking me through every thing that I needed to do and could do for my pregnancy. He was extremely kind and even gave me products to help me despite me not be a paying patient. He had no obligation to help me but he still voluntarily took the time and I am extremely grateful for all of the help he provided and the kindness that him and his front desk staff showed me.

I have been one of Scots patients for several years now and am so appreciative of all that he has done to help me with my chronic pain and difficult digestive issues. Scot is extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring, kind, resourceful, helpful and is an excellent listener. I have been to eighteen different practitioners over the past six years and Scot has consistently provided excellent care and insight into what could be causing my health issues. I always get relief after my treatment sessions and also have a sense of hope that someone cares, understands and is committed to helping me
