I met Darren in 2012, when I first moved to Charlotte. I was impressed by his spirit of learning and inspiration for Traditional Asian Medicine. Darren studies and works to improve himself and genuinely cares about his clients. He was kind enough to share his office with me when I started seeing patients. Darren came to our place and helped a client with serious plantar fasciitis, and it was an instant success! I highly recommend and continue to speak well of Darren.

I have been a patient of Darren Holman for at least fifteen years. During that time, I have found him to be an intelligent, compassionate, competent professional. I have RA and there have been times when Darrens acupuncture applications have kept me walking and out of pain. I highly recommend him!

I have never been to an acupuncturist before but knew there were great benefits. I tried it to address few allergies for my kid with Darrens help and feel so glad and fortunate to be in the right hands. Not only is he very very knowledgeable and passionate he is very upfront and will say it like it is. I have already recommended him to everyone I know and if you are on the fence then I hope this helps you.

Endoscopy and colonoscopy all to tell me they didnt have any answers besides putting me on medication that had no end in sight. I decided to try something different so I came to Mr. Acupuncture.
