Can anyone recommend an acupuncturist?

Hello everyone,
I'm a long time reader, first time poster. I checked the acupuncture tag, but there wasn't much recent. I'm looking for some acupuncturist recommendations. I don't have anything super serious beyond some shoulder issues. I just recently tried someone whom I like, but want to explore further and experience different practices. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Does this have to be near Davis Square?

Nope!

Sorry, should have specified that it doesn't have to be in Davis. I live in Davis, work in Harvard Square, so would prefer Cambridge/Somerville, but am willing to travel further.

I just started going to Lisa Farwell (http://www.lisafarwell.com) for shoulder & arm stuff. It's my first experience with acupuncture, but she’s been great so far – getting stuff to release and getting the inflammation down. And super nice to boot! She’s at Great Way Wellness, right in the square.

I am a very happy client of Debra Wood, who is in Porter Square, right near the Exchange building. (http://www.debrawood.com)

you should totally check out Justine or Jess at www.acupuncturetogether.com. They're both terrific, really effective, and very reasonable. Their clinic works on a sliding scale, so it's totally affordable.

Agreed - Justine is awesome. (I don't know Jess, but I'm sure she is too :)

NESA is actually in Newton now, just over the city line between Newton and Watertown. Directions here (http://www.nesa.edu/maps_and_directions.html).

My wife has been extremely happy with Jen Evans, on Belmont St about a mile up Highland from Davis. (Warning: annoying Flash-only website)

I have had a great experience with Lisa Desrosiers (http://www.davissquareacupuncture.com/).

Seconded, she is terrific.

Fourth-ed!

She no longer sees patients in Cambridge but I definitely recommend Emily Greenstein. http://emilygreenstein.com/

Sorry, can't offer any help, but I wanted to ask anyone who has responded if you've seen your recommended acupuncturist for treatment of fibromyalgia. I was going to start about post about this today, but now that this one's up it seems a bit silly to do so...

Amethyst Center

Patty Adelsberger at the Amethyst Center is terrific. http://www.amethystcenter.com/

I and several others I know have had great experience with her for a variety of issues, especially pain and women's health.

Thanks!

I knew you all would come through! Thanks for the suggestions.
