I moved to recently to San Diego but my health issues naturally followed me from Arizona. Someone whom I trust recommended Sustain Community Acupuncture and they have been very effective in keeping my pain manageable. I see no reason to go anywhere else.
Ive gifted sessions to my friends and family members on more than one occasion. They still come diligently to get back in balance when anything feels off. Lovely tea always available. LOVE
This place is amazing!! I cant even say enough good things about this place! Very affordable and worth considering as a monthly routine to keep yourself happy and healthy. The office is very welcoming and calm and the receptionist was very helpful and extremely nice. Ive never had any issues regarding payments or billing or scheduling. Everyone is helpful and always welcomes patients with a smile. One of the benefits of Sustain Community Acupuncture is that you have the option of having your treatment in a room with other people in a quiet, meditation-like music, and big comfy recliners with clean sheets over them. I find it relaxing and, since I got such great results. I continue to seek acupuncture for general health and well-being. You wont be disappointed by trying acupuncture. And I am sure you wont be disappointed if you go to Sustain Community Acupuncture! Very affordable and worth considering as a monthly routine to keep yourself happy and healthy.
Ive been to many acupuncturist places and Sustain Community is by far my favorite!! The staff here is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful/accommodating to the patients needs. Ive been treated with various health issues and have all been resolved after a few sessions. The atmosphere is also extremely inviting - the rooms are dimmed, relaxing, and just makes you feel so calm and at peace when you walk in. I absolutely love this place and highly recommend!!
Ive been coming here on and off for 4 years now. Ive always been somewhat apprehensive about acupuncture but Dia is phenomenal! She is calm and patient and really listens to whats going to with me to ensure a successful treatment. Im very sensitive to needles so she uses baby needles on me too! Ive also trusted her knowledge and expertise in Chinese Herbs to amplify my treatment. This place is amazing. They accept ALL insurance but if your insurance doesnt cover it, their prices are very affordable!
After experiencing some amazing results for chronic arthritic pain in my thumb joints in just 8 sessions about a year ago, I became a fan of acupuncture and herbal healing when it is effective. Dave McKinnon is my acupuncturist. Hes skillful in the practice and is always a good listener. He adjusts my treatment (I go about once every 6 weeks for what I consider maintenance) each time, depending on issues or problems I may be having. He is knowledgeable about the capabilities, as well as the limitations of acupuncture. He gives great suggestions about healthy eating and provides competent assistance for herbal medicine, if indicated.The office runs beautifully. Ive never had any issues regarding payments or billing or scheduling. Laura at the front desk is helpful and always welcomes patients with a smile.One of the benefits of Sustain is that you have the option of having your treatment in a room with other people (quiet, meditation-like music, and big comfy recliners with clean sheets over them), which brings the cost of a treatment to $35. I find it relaxing and, since I got such good results initially, continue to seek acupuncture for general health and well-being and, so far, to keep the painful arthritis at bay.You wont be disappointed by trying acupuncture. And I am sure you wont be disappointed if you go to Sustain Community Acupuncture!
I got a last minute appointment with Nicole for muscle pain/tension in my neck and shoulder that had been going on for nearly two weeks. I’ve had lots of acupuncture before but this was my first time at Sustain, and it did not disappoint! Nicole is down to earth, compassionate and most importantly skillful. She helped me relax by focusing on deep breathing during the treatment (I let her know I’ve been under an unusual amount of stress lately), and I immediately noticed I had a greater range of motion in my neck when we were done. The next day I was still feeling good and had lasting improvement in my neck and shoulder region. I already scheduled a follow-up and would highly recommend seeing Nicole at Sustain! Prices are reasonable too if you don’t use/have insurance coverage.
Im a big fan! Ive been getting acupuncture for years, mainly for the arthritis/tendinitis in my thumbs (mouse hand) but also for various other ailments (knee pain, neck stiffness, dry eyes, whatever). This is my first experience with community acupuncture, and I really like it! Dave is so caring and you can tell that he really wants to help you feel better. And he knows just where to treat for what ailments. Other places just always did the same treatment every time, but Dave changes it according to what your specific problem is at that time. When Im lying back in the reclining chair, stuck with needles, Im the most relaxed ever! I sort of go unconscious for a while, like the deepest sleep ever, and wake up completely refreshed. The treatment does work to keep the pain in my hands at bay so that I can function at work. The price is more reasonable than other places Ive been and they accept insurance. Im definitely hooked!
Ive had four sessions here so far for a muscular trauma in my back, and Dave has been beyond helpful. What I love about Dave is that he makes you feel very comfortable not only while in the chair or on the table, but also when youre sitting down to talk with him about what may or may not be working. For example, I was feeling like having needles directly on my injury werent helping a whole lot, so he very nicely shifted my healing process in a different direction. The last session I had was THE best Ive had with them so far. Theyre very flexible, accommodating, and incredibly down-to-earth. These people genuinely care about your health and are always willing to go down whatever direction you feel is best for you. This is a wonderful business staffed by professionals who know what theyre doing and know how to make you feel relaxed and how to get the most out of every treatment!
Loved my first month of doing acupuncture!! Over the past few years my body and mind has been overworked due to stresses at work. The Doctors were able to pin point my injuries and always feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders each visit. They give advice in areas of health, nutrition, and exercise too which has helped prevent most of my common injuries. The staff is also well versed and experienced in the field of Acupuncture. I’d recommend anyone, especially veterans, to give this a shot.
Dr. Maile is my absolute favorite Acupuncturist in a long line of great Acupuncturists that I have worked with over the last twenty years. She listens to her patients with an amazing eye for details. Her warmth, kindness, and humor are what make her a wonderful doctor. Her knowledge of Chinese medicine has helped me to weather chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, and many other issues. The front desk staff, Jackie and Sean, is welcoming as well as capable. Sustain keeps me healthy. Thanks guys!
Maile is Amazing! I was searching for an acupuncturist in San Diego & was referred to Sustain. I feel so fortunate to have met Maile. She is extremely knowledgeable, and at the same time made me feel completely at ease. If you have ever wanted to try acupuncture do not hesitate- this community focused clinic is the perfect location.Thank you to Sustain for providing a healing environment that is also affordable- allowing more people access to alternative therapies.
Ive been going to Sustain Community Acupuncture for various issues for over 3 years. What really happened was I went for one issue (hormonal acne) and it eventually cleared up, but I loved my experience so much, I was like, what else can we work on?! Ive worked with several of the practitioners (Maile, Dia, Synthia) here and have really loved all of them. Booking appointments is easy, prices are reasonable and the effects have been noticeable and real for me. I highly recommend anyone considering acupuncture to try SCA!
I came here with severe pain on the right side of my face (level 8-9 ) that prevented me from talking, eating and drinking. Dr. Maile is awesome. After 2 visits, the pain went down to a level 4-5. I highly recommend this place. People say parking is a problem, but so far I have not experienced any of that. I would give this place and Dr. Maile more stars if I could.
I love Lidia! Acupuncture has helped my back and carpal tunnel issues drastically. I feel 100% less stressed when I leave and my muscle pain is almost nonexistent.
After years of anxiety test and prescriptions I was referred to Sustain. I was first off immensely impressed by the detailed and precise pre exam questionnaire. I was seen by Dr.DAVE and he did in about an hour what modern medicine failed to do for a reasonable price. I would have paid a million dollars because thats how I feel like a million dollars. I went to thank him and I said verbatim Anything short of putting an alter in front of this establishment and bringing sacrifices would fall short of me expressing my gratitude..thanks for restoring my sanity I will definitely return.10/25/18Ive been seeing DOCTOR DAVE for a few months now....still satisfied. Like I said I cant put a price on what I feel while there and even more when I leave. I feel a peace that surpasses all understanding......
I love this place! Its comfortable, affordable and convenient. Dr. Maile rocks! She is both personal and professional.... I always leave feeling so happy that I took time to take care of myself. Thanks SUSTAIN!!! :)
Great local place for acupuncture. Dr. Dave was very attentive to my needs. The office is very welcoming and calm and the receptionist was helpful and extremely nice.
I love this place , the minute you walk in they make you feel very welcome. I am definitely coming back for follow up sessions , i am battling Generalized anxiety disorder and this place really helps me !
This is a wonderful caring place. Maile is a fantastic acupuncturist. The front desk staff Sean and Jackie are always very helpful.
I have been coming here for 3 years for different ailments and Sustain has been successful in alleviating the problem every time. Very knowledgeable and customer service oriented staff. Prices are very affordable. I highly recommend
Great atmosphere. Bad parking like all San Diego. Dr D. was most helpful and skilled. Walking better for the first time in nearly a year.
I was little scary because this was my first time doing acupuncture but I felt so good when I talked with them. The service was great, thank you.
This place is great they make you feel very comfortable. I have felt an improvement in my ailments. I plan to continue going! Highly recommended!
I decided to try acupuncture for my lower back and hip pain. I am so glad I did. After 2 sessions, my pain is less and I wake up a little less stiff. Thank you!!
They have an acupuncture clinic for Military, Vets, First Responders and “Teachers!” Call first though, as a courtesy and to schedule. Did it last week. And scheduled again for this week - I got issues! Dave’s the Man!
These guys do an incredible job here. They literally take pain and stress away in one accupucture session!
Great place, very kind staff, clean facilities, nice decor
Great experience, clean and frienfri service.
