Testimonials

What Our Patients Say

"I had been suffering from diabetic neuropathy in my feet for over three years, and the burning sensation was unbearable at night. My doctor told me there wasn't much they could do beyond medication, which wasn't helping. After just six weeks of acupuncture treatments at Acupuncture North Clinic, I noticed a significant reduction in pain. "

— Michael R., Northfield

“As a busy executive, stress was destroying my health—high blood pressure, tension headaches, anxiety, insomnia—you name it. I was skeptical about acupuncture at first, but the team at Acupuncture North Clinic made me feel so comfortable from day one. Each treatment room is private and peaceful, which really helped me disconnect and relax.”

— Jennifer L., Winnetka

“I had pain in my neck and left arm along with tingling and numbness in my hand. After visiting Dr. Kuan three times at Acupuncture North Clinic, the pain subsided tremendously. He is extremely thorough, passionate about his work, and truly cares about helping his patients feel better. I highly recommend him to anyone suffering from pain.”

— Philip D.

“Kuan was very professional, respectful, and asked detailed questions to fully understand my issue. What started as back pain evolved into leg pain. He accurately determined that it wasn’t sciatica, as previously thought, but related to the piriformis nerve, and adjusted the treatment accordingly.”

— Anna M.
