Patient stories
"Stephanie is amazing! Thursday morning before my treatment, I couldn't even stoop to get in and out of my car without shooting pains down my spine. I couldn't imagine that I would be able to play two full days of competitive grass doubles volleyball over the weekend with no pain or restricted movement. After 17 games and about 8 hours of driving, my back feels great and I feel tremendously grateful! Thank you so much!" -- Emma K.
"I had injured my knee from running and was told by an orthopedist that it would require eight weeks of physical therapy at a minimum. After receiving this depressing diagnosis, I decided to give acupuncture a try for the first time. It took only one session with Stephanie, and the condition disappeared. It is truly remarkable to me that this common running injury (a strained IT band) could be healed so quickly, and I enthusiastically recommend Stephanie to all who suffer sports-related injuries or aches and pains of any kind." - Jennifer M.

I tried to get pregnant for 17 months, and after a failed round of IVF, I contacted Stephanie to include acupuncture in my FET cycle. I went for 6 weeks pre-transfer. The treatments were as good for my mental health as they were for my physical health, as it was a very stressful time in my life and acupuncture provided a healthy outlet for me. The day of my embryo transfer happened to be on a Saturday, and Stephanie rearranged her personal schedule to come in on the weekend so that I could receive my treatment. Well, it was all worth it because 8 days later I tested positive! I am now 19 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl. I attribute my success in large part to acupuncture, as it was the first and only cycle I had tried it. Stephanie is caring, sensitive, and extremely professional. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone. Thank you, Stephanie, for helping make our dream come true. - L.F.S
I received acupuncture from Stephanie in preparation for a surgery I was going to have. She worked on me up to the day before in effort to support my immune system, to help me be calm, and to have as little pain as possible during my recovery. My recovery was quick and with minimal pain, so much so I did not need to take the heavier pain relieving medication. During my recovery I continued to see Stephanie and found that her support and acupuncture were truly helpful physically and emotionally. - Mary Jean
"I have benefited greatly from Stephanie's intuitive care. As a dancer with a history of back and neck issues, acupuncture is the only treatment that has made a profound difference in easing my pain and relieving my muscular spasms. Stephanie finds the trouble spots and works her subtle magic. More than once she has helped me through "crisis" in those areas and it feels wonderful to have a go-to person. I would recommend Stephanie Ellis wholeheartedly to anyone!" - Maureen K.
Stephanie has become my primary care doctor. When I am ill or injured, I call her right away to schedule treatment. She has helped me in many amazing ways, including helping me recover from a terrible injury to my right hand in 10 days! She has also kept me off antibiotics for my life-long chronic allergy/sinus condition for nearly a year. She is extremely knowledgeable, intelligent and gentle. Stephanie is also a good listener. I recommend her highly and refer her to many friends and students. - Rhonda N.
I started seeing Stephanie in December looking for treatment for my chronically swollen knee (on and off swelling for years, especially post-procedure last year). Stephanie listened to my symptoms, evaluated my swelling, recommended a supplement, and provided weekly treatments - and within a few weeks I was seeing results! My knee is still "cranky" but it does not swell nearly as badly as it had been. I am more confident and in less pain while running, and my day-to-day movements (walking and stairs) are markedly improved. Stephanie is kind, the office is clean, and I always leave feeling incredibly relaxed. Thank you Stephanie! ~ Vanessa
My sciatica problem in my left hip got worse over a period of three months.
I went to physical therapy for another three months with no improvement at all.
I finally went to see Stephane and at my third session, she hit a very sore spot on my right hip. The next morning, the pain had been reduced by 95 percent. The following day there was a 98 percent improvement and has remained so for six months. Stephanie worked wonders with me and I thank her every day! - Phil K.
