Hopewell Medical Acupuncture Center

Little gem of a place; I can't believe I walked by it so many times when visiting a doctor in the same complex so many years ago and never tried it. But, better late than never! I've tried quite a number of acupuncturists around the area and these guys definitely stand out.

Originally, I thought I'd give them a try partially because they were much closer to my house and partially because our new insurance is awful and many providers, including my prior acupuncturist, have trouble working with it. My initial set of treatments were similar to my experiences with other acupuncturists: mild relief but nothing too lasting. I was happy because I was at least getting some relief and it was getting covered successfully by my lame insurance.

I mentioned this to Dr. D. and he was clearly less satisfied than I was. He said he wanted to switch gears and started doing things that were different than any other acupuncturists I've been to: something closer to dry needling (pi jing?), acugraph, energy balance electrodes, etc. The first time with the new protocol I immediately felt my body moving and functioning in new ways. On my most recent visit, I had the most profound relaxation imaginable. Normally, I leave an acupuncturist super relaxed, but then halfway through driving home I'm back to normal. This time it lasted well into the next day. Unlike my normal self, I was the most hyper-relaxed unproductive useless lump of goo imaginable the entire rest of the day; it was lovely (luckily I have a flexible schedule and could just veg the rest of the day). I slept phenomenally that night.

He has a picture of Dr. House in the treatment room. I think it's fitting. I mean, not at all the bedside manner or temper or anything like that. But, he's clearly there for the thrill of the puzzle and figuring out how to use all the tools he's amassed to help people. He's not trying to just get people in, get people out. Rather, he sees you as a challenge to bring well-being to. Even if you're content, he's not satisfied until he's really got you to well-being.

I had the most amazing TuiNa massage. I feel like a new person.

Dr. Dawson is great! I love the feeling I get after coming in for an acupuncture treatment at Hopewell Medical Acupuncture. Always energizing, invigorating and fully contributes to my overall healing. 5-stars at least!
She has helped me a great deal with overall energy and specifically with the healing process of my torn ACL.

Dr. Long - I would give her 6 stars if it was an option. She has helped me resolve two different health issues which have been chronic for the past several years (Sleep disorder and Weight Loss). I've seen two M.D. Sleep specialists and a health coach, with zero positive impact, until now.

After two weeks working with Dr. Long and following her advice on some minor lifestyle changes - I saw major improvement! Life altering improvements. (I'm going to skip details since we're talking about Wight Loss, after all)

She has a very great demeanor, gets to the root of the issue and suggests a plan. She is supportive and positive. I highly recommend her!
