Report
Karina is a truly gifted acupuncturist, although she is much more than that. She treats you from a completely holistic point of view using her knowledge of anatomy and nutrition to get you well, and she does it in short order. When I first went to her it was because I had trigger finger. The excellent hand surgeon I was seeing told me they would try up to two injections of the steroid and if the second did not fix the issue he would remedy the problem with surgery. Before I went for the surgery I asked Karina if there was anything she could do. She said yes and after ONE!! treatment the trigger

Dr. K is a caring and skilled care-provider. She possesses a perfect balance of skill, intuition, and warmth which is hard to find in many doctors. I have been to many acupuncturists and feel that Dr. K has a healing touch that I have never experienced. I would recommend her 200% if you want to achieve health from a holistic approach and are looking for a care-provider who practices informed consent, trusts the client's innate wisdom of their own body, and has a high level of education and practice experience.
