Testimonials

Kara changed my life. I thank her so much. She told me my diagnosis wasn’t a death sentence. She also advised me on herbal medicines and diet changes that were specific to my condition. She was so confident that I could be well. She was right! The doctors have been shocked by how well I have been doing this past year, and my blood work is great!” MW

Through acupuncture, natural supplements and dietary recommendations provided by Dr. James Pedersen, my rheumatoid arthritis has been in remission for nine months. Prior to seeing Dr. Pedersen, I was having significantly painful knee flare ups every three months. Now I am not on any RA medications and I feel great. Dr. Pedersen is a very good listener and extremely knowledgeable in alternative ways to achieve optimal health. I highly recommend Dr. Pedersen for a healthier you. AG, Geneva

Dr James Pedersen is by far the best acupuncturist I’ve been to and I’ve been to several in spite of doing my homework. I’m glad I finally found Dr Pedersen. He spends and takes valuable time to gather information to treat you in the best way possible and with results. NT, Geneva
