Testimonials:
In addition to being an incredibly knowledgeable and talented acupuncturist, Annie Van Dusen is a wonderful practitioner to visit if you have a history of being needle-phobic. I have been squeamish about needles all my life starting with a fainting episode after a vaccination in grade school, so I avoided acupuncture until I found Annie. I was having severe allergy symptoms, including early stage Rosacea. Annie was wonderful, patient and encouraging. And the treatment was successful! My allergy symptoms and the Rosacea have been resolved. A great experience!
