Merulli Acupuncture

I was hesitant to try acupuncture, but Desiree made me feel very welcome and comfortable. She is an active listener, and clearly she truly cares about her practice and her clients. The treatment rooms are very comforting and she has many ways to alter the temperature, etc, to make sure you have a relaxing experience.

I had an acupuncture session with Desiree today, and I absolutely loved it! Her website offered the convenience of booking online, so I was able to do it last night after hours. I went in this morning because I have a sinus infection, and I was looking for immediate relief. I went to the doctor yesterday, and I was prescribed antibiotics, but as we all know, it takes a few days for that to kick in. As soon as I walked into her office, I was greeted with the friendliest welcome. She sat with me and took her time getting to know my symptoms. The treatment itself was very soothing, and I feel it really helped! I also got a scalp massage with a Unilocal coupon, and oh my gosh… it was great! I had a headache, and it immediately relieved me! Unfortunately my insurance didn’t cover acupuncture, but that won’t stop me from returning. Thanks Desiree! This was a great experience!

Desiree Merulli could tell me that my parakeet died, a la ‘Dumb and Dumber’ and I would have responded calmly and coolly.
She could tell me that fire ants had invaded my home and that a new strain of killer bees built a tank-​sized nest outside my deck and I’d be totally chill. Some people just have that demeanor about them, and if somebody is going to be sticking very small sharp objects in you, I think it should be a requirement to have this kind of bedside manner.
Her office is on the 16^th floor downtown, and is almost comfortable walking distance from my work. I went to see her for a couple of things and know that I’ll have to go back a couple of times to see quantifiable results.
She was extremely thorough in her questionnaire, and we talked at length as well. And, she accepts Cigna and Aetna.
It’s a small office, not meant to hold multiple patients. Not that people go to get group acupuncture or anything (well, unless you go to the center in Columbia City). I laid down on a comfortable bed and was ‘tenderized’ on top for a while with needles, then later flipped over to get the other side – including my ears.
If you’ve never had acupuncture, it’s kind of strange how relaxing it is. I was in there for an hour and it felt like 2 minutes and 12 hours simultaneously. I had a choice of essential oil (peppermint) for the after-​treatment, which woke me up enough so I could get to my car. Satisfy your needle needs here!

Sounds like a lovely place, looked at the website for services provided. Attempted to contact by email with no return correspondence.
