Henry Fusco, OMD LAc

Dr. Henry is a gentle and intuitive acupuncturist. I’ve been going to him for 3 years and he helps me manage my energy deficiency from an immune disorder. He offers great quality and a reasonable price in Clairemont. He is very engaged in your care, and has a great personality. (And a great sense of humor when you need it)

I was suffering from recurring boils in both armpits. I tried two different western doctors both dermatologists and both told me there was nothing i could do to prevent them from recurring. I even got surgery on one of them but it didn’t help. Unofficially, i diagnosed myself as having Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I had tried many different things and that only marginally helped.
Dr. Henry was fantastic. He treated me lying down and face up so i felt like i was getting two treatments for the price of one. He is a great listener and you can tell that he cares a lot and wants to work with you in solving the problem together, not just on his own. When i went his office was not very busy and he takes or makes the time to really care for each patient.
It seems to me his goal is not necessarily to keep you coming back, but rather to help you heal you to the point where you don’t need to keep coming back to be dependent on him or his treatments. it’s been a couple months since i saw him, I only needed one visit and my HS is apparently gone.
after the acupuncture treatment he recommended me this Yincare product as an ongoing topical treatment at home.
i made some dietary changes (removing pepperoncini, spicy mexican carrots, pineapples, and balsamic vinegar and drinking some barley powder green drinks) after consulting with Dr. Henry as well as using the yincare and I’ve been HS free for awhile now. I’ve also stopped using the yincare for about a month and remain HS free for now.
Now i can still eat those foods, i just eat very little of them each sitting and no problem. Also not dependent on the barley powder but it’s there if i need it.
highly recommend, seriously changed my life.

I was recommended to Henry by a coworker in 2000 for ulcerative colitis. At the time my insurance did not accept him but i just paid out of pocket because I was in the middle of a major flare up and desperate. He was very nice, very gentle, and literally one hour after the treatment I had a very positive result (a normal/​no blood in stool BM for the first time in months! Incredible). I was nothing but impressed. The only reason I did not continue seeing him was b/​c of insurance. When I started a new job and had different insurance, I looked him up and have been seeing him on a regular basis ever since 2005. I ask Henry for help with two auto-​immune problems and anything associated with them: pain, inflammation, and plenty of other complications. He is just wonderful. He often has many helpful suggestions that do not always involve herbs. He also can appreciate the role of Western medicine and is not the type of practitioner to immediately discredit a doctor or therapy because it’s not considered «alternative» (I have come across this attitude at times with a few non-​traditional practitioners). Henry truly cares about his patients and it comes across in every single visit with him. If he doesn’t think he can help you he will tell you rather than lead you on and take your money. I just have nothing negative to say — no suggestions except for please don’t retire soon and continue to let Chloe hang out with me in the treatment room! (his dog — a little lovebug).

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Fusco after mysteriously injuring my foot which resulted in bruised & swollen second toes, restricting my range of motion. After it spread to the next toe, I consulted an emergency physician who scheduled me for blood tests (gout & infection) which proved negative, as he thought they would.
After my first visit with Dr. Fusco, the swelling went down and I regained my range of motion allowing me to walk without pain. The cause remains a mystery, however the symptoms have not returned… Thank-​you

As a licensed massage therapist in San Diego I have been a patient of and refer clients to Dr. Fusco without hesitation, for 15 years. Those clients have received benefits from his treatments for knee pain, digestive problems, sinusitis, stress reduction, and more. Dr. Fusco takes the time to listen. He is patient and kind. He has the expertise to treat appropriately with herbs and acupuncture. One of my clients lives in NYC and calls Dr. Fusco for consultations and herbal remedies. I highly recommend Henry Fusco for his healing ability and intelligent approach to making this Eastern medicine a viable Western treatment for anyone.

I’ve been going to Dr. Henry Fusco for over 12 years! I’d been having a lot of sinus infections and allergies for many years and was getting ready to have sinus surgery when a coworker suggested going to her acupuncturist before having surgery, I had a couple of acupuncture sessions and immediately felt better, I ended up not having the surgery AND I have NEVER had another sinus infection again! Throughout the years I keep going back for allergy ‘tuneups’ and my mom goes to him with her many aches & pains and we always find relief with the acupuncture treatments!

I found Dr. Fusco after I broke a small bone in my toe. The podiatrist wanted to remove it and I decide I didn’t like that idea (I really like my feet bones, they really get me places). So I went in search of an acupuncturist to help me deal with the pain and hopefully to help my foot heal. Dr. Fusco was able to help me with that and I’ve been going to him regularly now. My husband is also an acupunctuer convert thanks to Dr. Fusco’s down to earth manner. He’s always got time for you!
