"I came to Emily after exhausting all other resources. I had a bladder problem where I had tenderness and frequently had to urinate. I tried herbs, changed my diet, began exercising and tried homeopathy. None of those things improved the problem. Then I went to Emily for acupuncture. She tried a variety of treatments on me and before I knew it the problem went away. Emily is very skilled and is also very personable. She really cares about her patients and I very highly recommend her."

"I have been receiving acupuncture for over 20 years.  Fortunately, my initial experience was with an extremely competent individual in Hawaii.  As a result, my belief in acupuncture is absolute--but not in all who practice.

My particular condition is trigeminal neuralgia, a very complicated nerve affliction of the face. Emily’s web site cited this as a specialty, which is not to be taken lightly by a person with acupuncture experience.  Previously I had tried three or four professionals here in San Francisco without much success.

Not only has Emily successfully treated me, her dedication, willingness to listen, and her analytical acumen in pinpointing problems makes her an exceptional professional in her field.  This saved me from having to consult a neurologist who would have experimented with severe drug therapy.  She has subsequently treated me for colds, flu, and neck pain, including providing a wide range of herbs.

I recommend her without reservation.  Her personal demeanor is in total conjunction with the nature of her practice--just meeting her once will convince you."

"San Francisco Acupuncture has had an enormous impact on my life. Emily is a warm, caring and compassionate   acupuncturist  who makes your ailments, injuries and concerns paramount in her practice. She amazes me with her talents to heal and cure the human body by understanding it on a much deeper level than most traditional medical professionals. As a fitness instructor, I rely on my body to function injury free and perform all types of movements. Regular acupuncture treatments with Emily have enabled me to achieve this. I strongly recommend her to my clients."

"Dear Emily - I wish to thank you for the acupuncture services provided since you have been in the financial district. I have had acupuncture treatment from two previous practitioners and did not realize the level of their service until you treated me.  As you know I am an avid golfer and play tennis for a league which both require rigorous levels of physical output mostly on weekends and I frequently engage both sports in one day. You have incorporated this ancient form of natural medicine into your therapy which allows me to recover/heal from strenuous output with a minimal amount of setback due to injury.

I hardly notice the treatment that you administer and your bedside manner and diagnosis is more than intuitive; it is a gift that you possess by observation and touch.  It is normally not my nature to endorse someone in such a manner but I am happy to do this and encourage anyone to try your service especially after going to another acupuncturist. In my opinion, there is no comparison."

Kind Regards,

"Emily Mooney is an outstanding acupuncturist who has far exceeded my expectations. I saw immediate results from my very first session with her. She treated my repetitive stress injury in my right shoulder, forearm, wrist and hand. She continues to be concerned with how I am feeling and adjusts each treatment to my current needs. She's professional, compassionate, friendly, and very knowledgeable of Chinese Medicine. I highly recommend Emily."

"I had never been to an acupuncturist before but I had a new puppy I adored and allergies caused by her that were making it very hard for me to breathe.  I wanted to find a solution to the allergies that was maintainable and less invasive than multiple medications. In addition, I did not want to encounter the standard western medicine solution to this problem which would be to get rid of the puppy - this was not an option for me. Emily was a life saver. She saw me the same day I called which was a huge relief as I was getting very scared by my asthma. She listened attentively to my issues - both medical and emotional at that point. While receiving no promises, I felt encouraged that this might work. Next, the needles - completely painless.

In addition, I had sprained my ankle a few days before my appointment so she went to work on that as well.  She left me with the needles in place and heat on my ankle. At that time, I had the most restful, sound sleep I had had since before I brought the puppy home. This is what I looked forward most to in my visits.  Once I was in Emily's hands, I completely relaxed.  I never would have imagined sleeping with needles in me but I couldn't really feel them.  And, the good feelings didn't stop there. She proceeded to give me one of my best back massages/poundings in order to loosen up my congestion.  She did this at every visit and it was amazing. I would recommend her services to any one.  She is good for the mind and the body.  My breathing improved dramatically as a result of the herbs and the acupuncture.  My ankle healed in record time time and, each visit was enjoyable.
