Red Coral Acupuncture

So after sifting through many acupuncture doctors, I stumbled upon Dr. Mark of Red Coral Acupuncture. I was impressed with the reviews so I emailed him with questions. He was very detailed in his responses and quick to respond. That was a good start! I deided to proceed with an appointment and by luck he had a Unilocal coupon that I purchased.
This was the first time I have ever done acupuncture. I arrived at his location and was a bit concerned about the area but parking was more than plentiful! I punched in my code and walked in and WOW, what a beautiful office. Immediately you feel relaxed. I wouldnt mind hanging out there and reading a book, yeah the atmosphere is that great.
As I walked in, Dr. Mark approached and introduced himself. I gave him the paper work I filled out before hand. We went back to the room. Dr. Mark is a very professional, polite and friendly person. Makes you feel welcome right away. So after talking a bit about why I was there he stepped out for a minute so I could get on the little bed thing. He then came back in and started the needles. He made polite conversation while doing his work, which Im sure was to distract me, but there was no pain at all except on one spot but that is because I have arthrits and I was swollen and tender. The room was dim lighting and a very relaxing music was playing. He then left the room and said if I needed anything to call for him. (he carried a monitor).
Let me just say that if you have never done acupuncture, put it on your «To Do» list. It is amazing, I felt so relaxed and after the session my body felt great, so relaxed, no tension. The swelling in my joints went down and the pain subsided. Needless to say I scheduled a 2^nd appointment with Dr. Mark.

Mark is awesome! I had never even really heard of acupuncture, but was having some lady issues and read acupuncture could help. My doctor was doing absolutely nothing for me and so I decided I had nothing to lose and decided to give acupuncture a try. Mark got my body headed in the right direction after only 2 sessions, and after about 5 months I was pregnant, which was my ultimate goal. I can honestly say I don’t know if it would’ve happened, or how long it would’ve taken without Mark. As well as obviously «fixing» me, Mark is just a really nice person and never made me feel uncomfortable at all. I would highly recommend him!

Mark at Red Coral Acupuncture is fantastic. I went to him when I developed sciatica (pinched sciatic nerve) when I was 7.5 months pregnant with my second child and could barely walk due to the searing nerve pain. I had suffered from the same condition with my first pregnancy, and at that time (living in California) had gone to an acupuncturist and had received some relief. Based on his great Unilocal reviews, I decided to try Mark at Red Coral to see if acupuncture could help again.
Mark was great! He knew exactly which areas to focus on, and his treatments really helped to relieve the pain. Also, he gave me exercises to do at home to speed recovery (massaging the area with a foam roller, tennis ball, etc). After a few treatments and less than two weeks, the condition had totally resolved itself and I was walking normally again. Mark was even better than the person I saw in California (someone who I had found through rave reviews, and who was supposedly an expert in pregnancy issues)…I highly recommend him!

Mark is great. I initially went to him with some knee and ankle/​foot problems that occurred during some martial arts training. The problems had been checked out by an orthopedic surgeon who assured me that the structural integrity of things where good, but that the pain associated with these injuries would indeed take awhile to go away.
After successful acupuncture treatments some years back I went in search of a new practitioner after losing track of my prior acupuncturist. A close friend passed on Mark’s information and I could not have been happier.
Before and during our sessions Mark was very attentive to my questions and concerns. His approach to my treatment was superb. I very much appreciated how he balanced the understanding of both eastern and western approaches to the therapy he suggested and I always left the sessions feeling much better. Since my treatments my training has continued and the pain quickly subsided.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mark and his practice.

I went to Mark having no experience with acupuncture. I was suffering from some stress as well as a cold. He did a good job walking me through everything, and I could tell he was quite knowledgeable. The actual session put me in a deep state of relaxation, and I left feeling like a new person. My cold has been getting better and I could not think more fondly of my experience.
He also knows a lot about herb medication and gave me a sample to take home with me!

Mark did an amazing job helping me with chronic pain. He is extremely patient, kind and knowledgeable about both Eastern and Western treatment modalities. He also referred me to an Integrative Medicine MD who was actually covered by my insurance (hadn’t been able to find one of those before)! I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for high quality, professional, affordable and compassionate care.

I was not a believer of eastern medicine till i met Mark. After 3 months of ridiculous low back pain that left me unable to even tie my shoes I took the plunge! I could not have been happier! I was able to walk out of the office a new woman with no pain in my lower back. I went back for a few more treatments and i was as good as new. He is not only amazing at acupuncture but also at this eastern style Chinese massage technique he does after. Loosened up my tense hips really well. Mark is just an amazing individual at a personal level. Really calm and eager to explain everything to you and recommend the best practices! Keep up the good work!

Mark’s skills are well informed and the acupuncture I received, combined with physical therapy and massage, helped my rotator cuff problems resolve more quickly. He is supportive, easy to work with, listens well, and made sure I understood the step by step process as we progressed. I would highly recommend him to anyone who seeks his knowledge of eastern medicine and medical support.

I found Mark through my massage therapist. When she feels that the massage might not do the trick for my condition. She thinks that Mark would be a great resource for me.
My first visit to him, he spent a good amount of time to try to understand my problem. Mark also came up with suggestions treatment ideas to treat me. He absolutely had helped me eased my chronicle upper back pains. I remember my first treatment with him was so good that my husband totally noticed that I was much more relaxed and was not in constant discomfort.
Mark works hard to try to help you figure out the cause of the problem. He came up with treatment plans that he thinks will help, also send off emails with links of information to help me between my treatment.
I would totally recommend him to anyone.

Mark is the best. I get migraine headaches, which are notoriously hard to treat. Mark’s combination of dietary advice, Chinese herbs and acupuncture have helped me to get in control of the headaches. I see Mark regularly, and anytime something comes up — a cold, extra stress, stomach problems or whatever — he’s always able to help. I highly recommend him.

Mark is a caring, helpful, knowledgeable and kind. He knows how to help me and was especially great with my two teen daughters., whom he also treats. He adjusts his treatment as needed, responds quickly to questions and requests and couldn’t be a better help in our ongoing need for holistic, caring, alternative health care. I would recommend him at any time for any age. We have used him for both acupuncture and herbal supplements.

Mark is incredibly intuitive, knowledgeable and caring. He listens attentively, carefully reviews your medical history and thoroughly checks your vitals taking into account each piece as part of a bigger picture in order to accurately diagnose and begin treating your condition. He makes adjustments to your treatment along the way depending on how your body is responding, ensuring that you have the most effective treatment for your present condition and attain the best possible results. Before I started seeing Mark I lacked energy, strength and had digestive and joint issues. With regular acupuncture treatments from Mark and taking the custom-​tailored Chinese herbs he prescribed, I feel 100% healthier and have much more energy. Prior to seeing Mark, I had been avoiding doctors. I find that western doctors are too quick to prescribe painkillers and antibiotics for every minor ailment. I completely trust Mark and know he is looking out for my best interests and is solely motivated by his patients well-​being. I can only recommend trying acupuncture and Chinese medicine, before going to a general physician or living with whatever discomfort you may experience. And Mark is just the person who can help you feel your best!

Mark is a highly proficient and intuitive acupuncturist/​herbalist. He has broadened my perspective and understanding of maintaining good health with his thorough knowledge of anatomy and the interaction of body and mind. Mark is genuinely warm and compassionate in his approach. He brings his full attention and focus to his patients and I have experienced major relief from chronic discomforts and sports injuries. I always feel a general sense of well being after he has treated me.

Red Coral Acupuncture really helped me get my body back to 100%! Mark’s attitude and professionalism are really second to none.
