    Stephanie S.

  • "Dr. Oliphant consulted with me about the range of possible causes (including the scary ones), and agreed to apply acupuncture in case it were a treatable imbalance. Since that treatment, symptoms have not reappeared. I still have questions to answer, but for now, with what I know, Dr. Oliphant's acupuncture restored my arm and shoulder."

    Mark C.

  • "I've only had 2 sessions but ao far he has been able to resolve severe back pain almost completely (honestly I blame myself for not resting enough) and he was able to completely knock out a growing migraine 6 out of 10 on arrival and 0 pain when I left. Truly the best acupuncturist I have ever seen."

    Jess N.

  • "Michael is fantastic ! This was my first exposure to acupuncture and now I'm hooked! It has improved my exercise endurance and form and best of all- my results ! I've referred lots of people for different ailments to try it ! There is always room for a combination of western and eastern medicine! And this advice coming from an MD:)) I love it and you will too!"

    Juanita M.

  • "If I could rate him 1,000 stars I would! My daughter was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis when she was 10. The inflammation in her joints was so severe that she ended up in a wheelchair...From the very first appointment he said, "I can help your daughter" and he did! Once a week I take her for accupuncture sessions and EVERY SINGLE TIME she has left better than when she walked in. He is kind, compassionate, and beyond knowledgeable. The steroids have slowly been decreased and hopefully, if everything continues as well as it has been (and I believe it will) she will be free of all medication very soon."
