Jul 20, 2021 Report

After 4 acupuncture sessions, 3 FM tests, and various supplements, I discontinued treatments from Sharon due to surprisingly aggressive and off-putting communication. Our rapport was very positive until I asked for clarification about an upcoming test, mentioning that there had been delays with two of the previous tests due to miscommunication. Actually, I had asked for clarification in a preceding e-mail, but she had ignored that question, so I followed it up by explaining why I was asking for clarification. In response, Sharon sent a multi-paragraph e-mail, in which she told me my listening/comprehension

Can't recommend Sharon at Blossom Health enough! I was nervous for my first acupuncture session EVER, but Sharon made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process; from the intake to the procedure itself she walked me through the entire process so that I always knew what was going on. I left with all my questions answered, a new outlook on Ancient Chinese Medicine, and a sense of calm when I left.

Very professional and knowledgeable. What impressed me most was the flexibility with her schedule to see me on short notice. I was experiencing very bad lower back pain and after 2 treatments I was feeling so much better. I learned a lot as well. Can't recommend enough A+! Thank you!

I came to see Sharon at a very dark time in my life. After more than four years of infertility issues, and two failed IVF attempts, we were completely destroyed. I lost all my hope. No one can imagine how hard it is unless one went through the same.

Sharon is much more then just your "typical" Acupuncturist. She talked to me a lot about the meaning and benefits of Functional Medicine, as well as the importance of diet and the effects of stress on fertility. She is also very knowledgable about functional blood chemistry and she recommends supplements and diet to correct imbalances

I was set to have an initial appointment with Sharon. After a phone conversation, something seemed off. I didn't feel right. She was aggressive. But I'm a RN so I'm used to aggressive people in the medical field. I wrote her an email to cancel the day before the appointment. I blamed it on my doctor wanting me to see someone else and tried to end it by saying I'd pass her card to my coworkers. She wrote me the most incredibly rude email right back. In my 20 years as a RN if a doctor or any other professional is this rude before you even meet them you need a new provider

I can't say enough positive things about Sharon. I started seeing her when I was around 12 weeks pregnant and I was having terrible migraine/sinus headaches as well as other ailments throughout my pregnancy. She helped with my stuffy nasal passages and keeping my energy up during the pregnancy as well. I saw her through out the entire pregnancy and am still seeing her for my postpartum recovery. She is really great at researching different options and going above and beyond to help her patients. I would highly recommend her.

I've been having coccyx pain for 6 months now and exhausted many forms of treatment so I decided to try acupuncture. Immediately upon talking to Sharon you know she has a lot of knowledge about not only acupuncture but also general well being. After talking to many doctors (I've seen 4 so far) who were unsympathetic and unwilling to do any extra research for me, it's so nice talking to Sharon. She's willing to listen to all your symptoms, give each one weight, and consider many treatment options. After having three sessions with her I already feel like I understand much more
