Meeting Point Community Acupuncture

I came here the other day with some bad neck/​shoulder pain. I made a one hour appt. for tuina (massage) with Crystal Greene and she is AMAZING! She does some really great acupressure stuff on specific points and she was able to get my shoulder to finally release. Not only did it help, but it felt wonderful. I highly recommend her for massage.

I’m a big fan of Meeting Point Acupuncture and have been a patient for several years. Jessica is wonderful and pays close attention to my needs before each treatment. The space is extremely comfortable and relaxing, so I feel that I get the most out of the time I spend. The prices make it accessible to everyone. I really wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Love this place! The acupuncture that Bre has given me has made my knee pain disappear. Not to mention that it’s a very relaxing experience. I’m hooked!

Every time I’ve been here, I felt so relaxed during my session. I like the ambience (music, scent, comfort of the reclining chair and kindness of the knowledgeable staff). I will be back!

I love this place!!! I go to Golden once per week to keep tuned up and I feel better than I have for years. I went the first time with a problem with my fingers and hand, it was a wonderful experience and I tell everyone I know about them and now I have 5 friends going whenever they can! 10 stars!!!

I’ve been coming here for over a year off and on and always feel better when I do. The care is great; very professional and compassionate acupuncturists. And it’s always nice and cozy. Such a great place for healing to take place.

I’ve been going here since I moved to Denver and the people working with me are great! I actually get treated by almost all of the practitioners for pain because of my hectic schedule. They are all very helpful and genuinely care. I like that they take notes on how you are feeling every-​time I come in so they can adjust their points. I go for mostly low back pain and stress! It definitely helps me;)

I came to Meeting Point with a nasty headache and desperate for a good night’s sleep. It had been at least a week since I slept through the night, and none of my usual tricks were working.
I was welcomed and given clean water to drink out of a ceramic cup, not a disposable one. What a refreshing surprise! I filled out my paperwork and was taken back to the treatment room, which was not fancy but felt really comfortable and cozy, like a friend’s living room.
I was impressed and relieved to see the «cell phones off, please» signs, but a couple of other clients were using their cell phones in the treatment room. I am EMF sensitive and always appreciate a little break from the constant buzzing when I can get it. A small disappointment.
The practitioner Jamie had a comforting presence. He asked me a lot of good questions about my immediate problems and also about the «big picture» of my health.
I like the community acupuncture model and have gone to a similar acupuncture clinic that’s located nearer to my home in the past. But I think Meeting Point does it better. It’s worth the short drive over to Broadway.
So how did it work out? I have been sleeping better, my headache resolved, and life is easier. Thanks so much, Jamie and Meeting Point! zzzzz…

I have been treated here for plantar fasciitis, fertility, and (after successful fertility treatments) induction of labor. Jessica is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. Not only is she a calm, healing personality, she is an expert and knows precisely where to place needs to get results.
I was skeptical about acupuncture initially but am completely won over.
I love the community style treatments; surprisingly, receiving treatments in a room full of people DOES seem to make them more effective.

I’ve been seeing Jessica for a few years and keep coming back when new ailments pop up. She is extremely caring and you can’t beat their prices. I recommend her to all my friends when they ask for a great acupuncturist. Definitely check them out!

I just had the most amazing acupuncture treatment on Tuesday! Went in for pain treatment of my knee and leg and restless nights of sleep I have had in the past couple of weeks. That evening I slept like a baby! Thank you for a great treatment

Everyone who has a job must consider this approach. I have quite a few symptoms. Here’s is what happend after my 1^st appointment: watery eyes, chest congestion gone right after my first 45 min. Increased energy as well.
I went in as I have been gluten free for 3 months due to food allergies. I explained my gluten withdrawl symptoms to Ramona, which have caused so many issues, I simply can’t list them all. The major withdrawl symptom I came in for, I prefer not to share. However, I do feel an improvement. I am hoping the Pros here can help me more with respect to my concerns. I will for SURE be back. So give MPCA a try.

A great find and affordable treatments. I really appreciate that Meeting Point offers a sliding scale on acupuncture — what a gift.
Only downside is that some of the easy chairs are worn out and uncomfortable, so sit in a few before you hunker down and get comfortable.
Other than that — I truly am a fan.

I’m brand new to accupuncture. This place is a good place to start. Jessica and Ramona are caring and attentive. The community room is inviting and relaxing. I didn’t know what to think about this before I showed up, but it works. I look forward to the treatments, and usually fall asleep while I’m in there.

I’m a straight up, tossin and turnin, anger inducing insomniac. Add in a dash of anxiety and a pinch of back pain from a spinal fusion, and you’ve got yourself a superbly ridiculous sleeper.
I’m not one for pills, and let’s be honest, I can’t Jameson myself to sleep every night if I want to lead a healthy and functional life. A friend suggested accupuncture. I asked her if she wanted to pay for it for me. Working service industry doesn’t always have its financial perks, or supportive insurance.
After nosing around the internet, I came across community accupuncture at Meeting Point. $ 35 for the initial consultation and a sliding scale of $ 20-​$ 40 each additional visit was a world cheaper than many other places on my Google search.
The price is not correlated to the service, however. Jessica, Nate, and Ramona are not only friendly but very knowledgable, thorough, and attentive to any need. Although you are in a room with five other people at a time, it is an extremely peaceful environment in which I’ve never feel neglected or weirded out by others’ presenses. I don’t go as often as I should, but on the weeks I attend I notice a definite change in sleeping patterns and anxiety levels.
Cheap and good. Good and cheap. Give it a whirl.

I’ve been here a handful of times recently, for my breech baby. I’ve worked with Ramona and Jessica, and absolutely love this place. I’ve been to a handful of acupuncturists since I was young and I have to say they’re really good at what they do!
My family and friends have already began coming and have also been really impressed.
I continue to go weekly, since I can actually afford it, and continue to experience wonderful outcomes!

I went here last week after trying another acupuncture clinic that is about twice the price.
I called on Wednesday to make an appointment for Friday, and Nate informed me that they were doing free initial appointments on Thursday only. Bonus! I rearranged some things and was able to come in Thursday.
I can only review this based on comparisons to the other place because that is the only other experience I have with acupuncture, and I don’t know what a ‘normal’ experience consists of.
Being antisocial in general and self-​conscious periodically (and currently), I was apprehensive about the community room. I’m not big on spilling all of the details on my bowel movements, period clots, and why I’m angry while other people a few feet away are trying to sleep. Thankfully, and maybe unfortunately, Nate did not talk to me very much. Perhaps this was because it was free, but it spared me from having a bunch of strangers visualize what the contents of my toilet look like on a regular basis, so I was cool with it. The intake process lasted about 7 minutes as opposed to the hour or so at the other place. He felt my pulses but didn’t look at my tongue, which I thought was The Thing To Do in acupuncture.
The other major difference was that the recliners only allow for needles to be put in on the front of the body and face. At the other place, I was on a massage table where I started out face down with needles in my back, shoulders, neck, and scalp and then basted for a while before flipping over and doing the front. I really do prefer to have both front and back poked, so this was a big drawback for me.
One thing I was worried about was being able to fall asleep in a room full of others. This was not a problem at all, and I actually fell asleep more easily than I did at the other place. However, I am a very light sleeper, and my nap was over permanently once a couple of other people came in and sat in the recliners next to me.
It took me a bit longer here to get his attention with my ‘meaningful look’ signaling it was time to get the needles out of me than it does at the other place, where I am given a handheld pager thingy that brings the poker guy running to my aide.
The one thing that made me super self-​conscious to the point where I will probably not go back regularly is that, when I was done, I sat waiting for Nate to finish up with the other people and tell me what to do next. He had spoken with the people who got done before me afterwards and went over a treatment plan with them, so I figured I’d at least be told something. After a while, he looked at me and said, ‘Are you okay?’ Embarrassed, I took that as my cue to leave and went up to the front desk, where the very nice woman asked if Nate had told me… something. I told her Nate hadn’t told me anything.
She gave me a slip of paper with the practitioners’ schedules on them so that I could make an appointment later because I told her I felt too strange (common for me after acupuncture) to figure out when I could come in next. I may make some appointments to supplement my treatment at the other clinic, but I won’t make this my primary place. I like being poked in the back too much and HATE feeling like an idiot. I’d rather pay more and go less often and not have to worry about those two things.

I had rotten, rotten headaches for years. I went to many different doctors and tried many different treatments. Pretty much all of those also made me feel rotten, just in different ways. My best outcome was to feel pretty solidly zombified on various drugs. All because that’s what my insurance covered, and I didn’t think I had the $$ for acupuncture.
By the time someone told me there was an affordable acupuncture clinic in town, I was ready to try small animal sacrifice if it would help. I’m not really into woowoo treatments (I say that affectionately), so I was definitely a bit skeptical.
NO MORE. My headaches are COMPLETELY GONE (it’s difficult to explain how much that means to me). It’s the best. I was a little leery of sitting in a room full of people stuck full of needles, but it’s actually strangely relaxing now. And Jessica is just great.
I got a huge part of my life back. This place is fantastic and deserves my very deepest gratitude.

I was recommended to Meeting Point Community Acupunture by one of my dear friends. The first time I was there was a Wednesday afternoon in Oct 2010.
Since both of us are new to this place, we are required to fill out some forms, perhaps that is mandatory for new patients alike. If I am not mistaken the person who took our appointment is Jessica Hardy. I like Jessica since she is friendly, nuturing and accommodating. Its like she has this aura that I like.
Before, she starts with the Acupunture session, she asked me some questions based on what I wrote in the form. If the needle is in your skin, and you can feel pain, Jessica, make sure I am not in pain at all. So she retract the needle, and make sure its in the proper spot. The community room, is filled with inscense and calming music for the patients to relax while having their acupunture session done.
My acupunture session was about half an hour. After the acupunture, I feel slighlty disorientated, by means its a norm for some people to feel this way. I dont mind returning to Meeting Point Community Acupunture when needed. The price is indeed affordable.

I have no fear of needles. None. Stick needles in me all day.
Ok, maybe not all day, but I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, so I could handle it for a good while I bet. I digress.
The reason I had to stop going to acupuncture was because my new insurance doesn’t cover it and what good are needles in my face if I don’t have enough money to cover rent that month?
Imagine my joy when I learned of this place that charges on a sliding scale ($ 35-​$ 55 for your first time, $ 20-​$ 40 thereafter) depending on what you can pay. My joy was bountiful, palatable almost.
Here’s the «catch»: It’s community acupuncture, which means you get your body stuck in a communal room on a recliner with several other people receiving treatment at the same time.
This initially made me a little uncomfortable, but once I got settled in, I had no problem passing out for almost 2 hours.
Upon arriving, I was welcomed by Jessica, who cheerfully helped me with paperwork and showed me back to the room. My acupuncturist was Melissa, who is a newcomer, but not any less knowledgeable, kind, gentle and friendly. It’s almost unnerving to be surrounded by people that love their job so much and are such genuinely happy people.
But not totally.
I sat in my recliner and talked with Melissa about the things I wanted to get treatment for (weekly migraines and almost daily headaches, neck and back pain) and she set about placing needles and explaining why she was putting needles here and what different points they are for.
A little heads up, the room is very, very warm, but I’ve found that I tend to get very cold during acupuncture, as do a lot of other people apparently, so after a few minutes of discomfort, it actually ended up being the perfect temperature. They also play the sounds you would expect to hear at an acupuncture clinic, but a friend who can’t stand pan flute told me they will let you listen to your iPod if you keep the volume down so it doesn’t disturb other patients.
All in all, this was a great experience and I can’t wait to go back again this Saturday.
