Karen McVey, LAc

Karen is amazing!!! Great acupuncturist. She always knows what to do. I see her for my migraines and just releasing the tension in my muscles. Always excited to see her not just for her healing capabilities but just to talk to her. She is a natural and an amazing person to be around. Great sense of humor and I love her stories. I highly recommend her.

Update: I was recently in a car accident and Karen has been phenomenal in helping me get better and know how to deal with it all. She’s an amazing problem solver, who really understands and remembers every patient deeply and knows just what to say and do to help you, guide you, support you. She’s an amazing acupuncturist and healer, plus she has a wonderful sense of humor, and she’s very intelligent and intuitive.

Karen is an amazing and very professional acupuncturist and herbalist. Her compassion and willingness to really listen create an atmosphere of real trust.
I have had several acupuncturists in my life, and believe in its power to heal me. I am so happy to have found Karen and would highly recommend her.

I start seeing Karen about four years ago because I develop diabetics, we have had the ability to get my disease under control and keep it control. The treatment that I received have cause me to be very relaxed and stress free. She is very flexible with her pricing and I see her about once a month. She is good at what she does and I recommend people to her.

I love Karen. She is helpful and honest with her patients. I was feeling really wiped out before my wedding and she worked me into her busy schedule and gave me an acupuncture treatment and a complimentary facelift with microcurrent as a special treat. I felt great for my wedding and looked gorgeous!

Karen now offers a «surgery-​free facelift» with a device called the Bio-​Ultimate Gold. It uses a microcurrent to tighten facial and neck muscles. The immediate results are pretty amazing: firmer jawline, reduced «jowls» and double-​chin, and my eyes and eyebrows have lifted. After only 5 sessions ($ 300), I can see a big difference. The best part is, it didn’t hurt at all, didn’t leave any scars or swelling or redness (like chemical peels can), and the appearance continues to improve for up to a week after the session. After the first set, I’ll only need to go back every couple of months for a touch-​up. I didn’t want to do botox or fillers – I don’t want to look strange or modified. Just fresher. I LOVE THIS MACHINE!!!

I have had acupuncture done by a few of the bay area’s best and paid for it too, I can say Karen is most different. I mean one visit she really fixed the chronic pain I had in my arm. I tried everything short of rolfing, and nothing helped more than a few minutes at a time. But when I told Karen about it she simply said «no problem I’m sure I can help that out «, and she did. A needle and a little rub with some salve and wow! I mean I suffered with this pain for years and its still gone 3 months later. Now I don’t know what she can do for you but if you hurt somewhere and cant seem to get rid of it then PLEASE go see her. The other part one needs to know is she is the least expensive acupuncturist I’ve ever visited and even does barter, how can you beat that!
