“Stephen takes the time to truly listen, and is able to get to the source of my illness or pain, rather than simply treating symptoms.  He's also very understanding and supportive of my process.  I've been to many doctors that have made me feel like what I'm feeling is in my head.  Stephen is different.  He cares about my health and wellbeing and is incredibly knowledgeable.  Being a bit apprehensive about needles, Stephen put me at ease with his kind demeanor.  What I most appreciate about his style is that before using needles, Stephen presses various points and asks what I'm feeling.  Not only is this an indication of the result of the treatment, it's empowering to be part of the outcome.”  –A.

“After a 30+ years of pain, numerous doctors, many types of healers, multiple diets, and too many herbs and and pills, Kiiko Matsumoto Style of Japanese Acupuncture has worked where everything else failed. The pain is much less, emotionally I am happier and my partner says I am so much nicer to be around. My severe endometriosis has stabilized and not grown in the more than a year since starting acupuncture. Where many doctors have given up trying to treat me or tried to force me to take medicines my body did not react to "normally", Stephen is willing to "think outside the box" when treating my unusual body.” –E.

"Stephen is a mad genius." –V.

“Stephen’s treatment style is intelligent, gentle and witty but most importantly after years of seeking relief from fibromyalgic symptoms from traditional and non-traditional practitioners I am pain free. Acupuncture is the best!” –M.

“I can’t believe how quickly my menstrual cycle became regular and easy after seeing Stephen. It hasn’t been like this since before my two kids were born. I highly recommend Stephen for women’s health issues.” –B.

"I started going to Stephen for acupuncture in February of 09 for amenorrhea. Every session I had with Stephen he would be so intuned with my body. Even if I didn't tell him about a new "problem" he would always figure it out somehow. As soon as Stephen realized my diet had something to do with my lack of period and problem skin, he told me. Unfortunately I didn't listen to him, and 6 months later I realized he was right all along. I was so impressed with his knowledge. Stephen also is amazing because even though I wasn't initially seeing him for my acne and digestion, he was definitely working on it. It is easy to take Stephen for granted and not realize all the magic he is doing because he is very humble. Stephen is the best Acupuncturist I have ever been to. He is so knowledgeable not only about acupuncture, but all other health related issues. He also researches everything, so I always knew I could trust him. Stephen is gentle, and genuinely cares about his clients. Also, when I go to Acupuncture I never want to feel like they are pushing herbs, or trying to make more money. Stephen is quite the opposite, he is fair, and will only recommend something, he leaves the rest up to you. If you want success in acupuncture, go to Stephen!"– S.

“Stephen helped us when "medical science" could not. After years of my son suffering with leg pains, and going from one doctor to another doctor, each with a different diagnosis and more testing, acupuncture was suggested as a last resort. For the first time in many years, my son has been without pain. I cannot tell you the joy that brings me as a parent who has watched her son wake up many days suffering with chronic leg pain. Stephen reminds me that there are decent, honest people who work in the healthcare profession. He listens to and cares about his patients. He puts the "human" in humanity. I have a lot of respect for Stephen as he truly has made a positive difference in our lives. Thank you." –B.

“I decided to try acupuncture for painful knees and shoulders. After treatment, not only did I feel physical relief from pain, I felt as if I had been on a vacation…total relaxation.” –R.

“It is a wonderful process. We were skeptical about Acupuncture, but he discussed our problems, and put us at ease. His sincerity and technique were wonderful. We were amazed by how much better we felt after seeing him. Truly amazing!” –E. & W.

“As an acupuncture student, I am very selective about who I go to see for a treatment. There are a lot of acupuncturists out there, but only few possess the true knowledge and skill. I came to Stephen because of the elaborate Japanese style acupuncture that he practices, and the good recommendations that I got from other people. Throughout the course of the treatment, Stephen was very attentive, caring and created a comfortable atmosphere. After 4th session, I began to see improvements in my health, and with each consecutive treatment, there was an even more dramatic change. I am extremely grateful to Stephen for his help and would highly recommend him. Stephen is a very talented practitioner, and he makes acupuncture a true healing experience.” –M.

“I would like to thank Stephen of Axiom Acupuncture for helping me to progress toward the healing of aches & pains I have been experiencing for quite some time. I have seeked chiropractic care over the years and I must say that the results from just my first 3 sessions with Stephen has made a huge difference in how i feel already. I am new to the whole technique of acupuncture and was a bit unsure as to how it would affect the way i was feeling, and now i am completely convinced that it works and would recommend it to anyone dealing with aches, pains or stress.” –A.
