I have had chronic neck and lower back pain for years that woke me up out of my sleep a few times every night. Last night, after my first visit to Dr Rene, I had the first pain-free, full-sleep night in a long time. Thank you!

ELIZABETH B.

Dr Rene is unlike any other doctor I’ve met. He really takes his time to get to know you to understand you and your history and get to the root of the problem, and his recommendations have been spot on. Thanks!!

DEVIN T.

Dr Rene has helped me completely transform my health. When I first came in, I was tired and stressed, getting sick all the time, and my joints were really starting to hurt. The acupuncture really helped me feel a lot better than I thought, a lot faster than I thought. I feel like a whole new person!
