I am so glad that my first acupuncture experience was with Alvaro. Admittedly, I was skeptical of the efficacy of acupuncture to manage chronic pain. I live with daily pelvic pain that began eight years ago. I tried pelvic floor physical therapy for several years without success. At the recommendation of a close friend who lives with similar pain and is also treated by Alvaro, I made an appointment. I realized the potential of Chinese medicine as an effective and practical treatment option several days after my third treatment. After years of not being able to move or lay in certain positions without significant low back pain, I am now able to do so with little to no pain. I have full confidence that Alvaro fully understands the treatments he offers and knows how to apply them to his patient’s specific needs. His office is very clean and welcoming, and he has created a calming, comfortable atmosphere in which to treat his patients. To those trying acupuncture for the first time: Alvaro is incredibly attentive to his patients' needs and will do his best to make you comfortable. If you do not experience improvement right away, stay with it. I did not feel improvement until a few days after my third appointment. Everyone responds to the treatment in their own way, at their own pace. Also, I would not let a fear of needles deter you from seeking this type of treatment. I generally do not experience pain with needle placement, but some areas are more sensitive to others and I may experience slight, short-lived discomfort. The benefits of this therapy far outweigh any temporary discomfort that could be caused by needle placement. Acupuncture is a great alternative or supplement to conventional treatment methods and Alvaro is an exceptionally skilled acupuncturist.

I have suffered from severe pelvic pain from endometriosis for over a decade and was at the end of my rope. I started acupuncture with Dr. Toledo and after three sessions I feel like a different person and regret all the time I suffered without acupuncture. I have already suggested to several close friends that they also seek treatment with him. I am blown away with how well my pain is finally being managed.

After having been diagnosed with a tear in the meniscus in my left knee, I decided to try acupuncture - a first for me! Alvaro Toledo came highly recommended by others. I can tell you that it was a most satisfying experience. He is great- very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He makes you feel very relaxed. After a few visits, I am now totally free of pain.
