As always, Dr. Dilks provides amazing care. I leave every appointment feeling better, physically and mentally, armed with information, and sometimes herbs, to continue my wellness journey beyond her office.

This was my very first time getting acupuncture. Although I wasnt nervous Dr. Charlotte would have made me feel at ease if I was. She took her time to
get to know me first before anything else. She was sincere in asking about my symptoms and explained what and why she was doing what she was doing. Ive never felt so heard and taken care of than I did that day with Dr. Charlotte. I would highly recommend her and Emerging Energy Acupuncture if you are looking to receive acupuncture treatment.

Sarah was really unbelievable for my first visit,. I have been going to acupuncture for well over 20 years, Sarah nailed it on my first visit. The heat that came out of my body was amazing, the anxiety level decrease sustainably. I can't wait for my next visit. Sarah Karsmarski would be a 5 star, but I'll save that for next apartment. Good job Sarah!!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Mary Claire for over 10 years. She is so thorough, kind and understanding. She treats me with respect and compassion, never making my concerns seem trivial. The procedure is never uncomfortable and always makes me feel on top of my world when I leave. I have even brought other family members to her for treatment. She is, by far, the best practitioner in this area.
