"I have seen Dr Oliphant for a host of situations, each time coming away from my acupuncture sessions feeling a lot more comfortable, notably relaxed, and, in some cases, completely pain-free."

Stephanie S.
"I sought help from Dr. Oliphant for a condition I can only describe as nervous fluttering in my left arm that persisted nearly two years after my recovery from a frozen shoulder. After one treatment, the fluttering was no more, and six weeks later, it is still gone. The relief is profound."

Mark C.
"Dr. Oliphant is a fantastic acupuncturist. I suffer from chronic hip and back pain. As well as live a high stress life. His expertise and deep knowledge has helped me along the road to recovery."

David C.
"I've been working with Michael for a while and he's helped so greatly with addressing the issues that I've brought with me. He listens, he explains, he adapts to changes in what I need. I feel heard and very well taken care of. I am so grateful for every treatment."

Megan M.
"As a health and wellness provider myself, I don't just go to anyone when it comes to a provider. Dr. Oliphant helped me sleep better, have less stress, strengthen my immune system, and have less soreness in my neck."

Thomas W.
"Dr. Oliphant knows his stuff and is always able to help my pain/issue and I leave completely relaxed and refreshed. If you're nervous about trying acupuncture, go to Yin and Tonic."

Jessica N.
"Dr. Oliphant listened to my story with a lot of patience and asked some really insightful questions. He then outlined his plan for treatment that session, and was very reassuring and attentive about managing my fears and expectations."

Kathleen E.
"Ive seen all manner of massage therapists, body workers, osteopaths, naturopaths, medical doctors, and chiropractors - all with varying degrees of effectiveness and none ever really "sticking." With Dr. Oliphant I feel that I am finally addressing the deep cause of the issues, vs the symptom, and am on my way to lasting healing."

Cristie C.
“Receiving acupuncture and care from Dr. Oliphant has been life-changing for me. He has helped resolve both physical and mental ailments I have suffered with for years. He is very knowledgeable and will listen with care. I highly recommend visiting Dr. Oliphant!”

Kathryn M.
"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."

Mel D.
"[Dr. Oliphant] is warm, welcoming, and genuinely interested in helping you feel better. He checks in with you to make sure you’re feeling comfortable with the care. He’s very knowledgeable about Chinese medicine and the herbs that are used. I began feeling better after just a few visits. Michael is wonderful and I will definitely be seeing him whenever I need a tune up!"

Heather M.
"Dr. Oliphant is a wonderful acupuncturists. He has help with with chronic pain as well as stress. His knowledge is deep and he applies it with your best interests at heart."

David C.
"I have been seeing Michael at Yin and Tonic for over a year. I have only good things to say. He is always helpful, calm and gentle with the acupuncture treatments. He treated me for infertility, using specialized protocols depending on what my body needed at the time. The treatments worked and I am now pregnant! I highly recommend Michael for acupuncture!"

Trisha O.
"I started seeing Dr. Oliphant about a year ago and every time I leave there I feel a million times better than when I arrived. Dr. Oliphant knows his stuff and is always able to help my pain/issue and I leave completely relaxed and refreshed. If you're nervous about trying acupuncture, go to Yin and Tonic. I told Dr. Oliphant it was my first experience with it and he made me feel at ease and I haven't stopped going since."

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."
