The results of Quinn's treatments have been almost immediate.  The pain I have experienced has diminished in half or more.  I have more energy and feel more alive.  The time he gives to my emotional state has also been helpful.  I have had acupuncture before, but Quinn seems to go deeper in his treatments and as a result, is more effective. I have had 5 treatments with Quinn and my health has definitely improved my quality of life.  I am not in so much pain and have more energy.  His manners and demeanor are good.  He is a gentleman, just as you would expect from your doctor.  He is very knowledgeable, calm, gentle, does not rush, and is respectful to his patients.   Quinn is good and effective at what he does.  I tell all my family and friends about him. The cream he gave me for the arthritis in my thumb works instantly to relieve the pain.

Dr. Quinn Akira Takei is excellent!  He is kind, great listener, and caring, professional and highly competent at what he does. I recommend him to others because of the results!  I was having severe bowel problems- ‘dysmotility’ and non-functioning.  After suffering more than 20 years and seeing many medical doctors with no remedy.  Within several weeks of acupuncture my bowels started working again.  Dr. Takei accomplished in a couple months what the other doctors did not with all the meds, enemas, and various therapies over a 20 year span.  I am so grateful!!!
-Shellie B.

 

 

The Center has decreased the frequency and intensity of my daily headaches.  I have been able to concentrate more on school and work instead of my daily pain.  My practitioner, Quinn, gave me the one on one attention and listened to my physical and emotional pain that all play in a role in my headaches.  The environment is extremely relaxing and I recommend others to Quinn because the treatments have truly helped me live a healthier life.
