Summit Acupuncture, Philadelphia

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

I offer Acupuncture and other adjunct therapies such as gua-sha and electric stimulation. This practice stands out mostly because the type of Acupuncture I use is extremely fast and effective. Most patients are so happy to see such improvement after the first treatment. It’s also a semi-private space which makes the cost per treatment much more affordable.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

I’ve always wanted to help people and run my own business. Acupuncture is the tool I use to help people and it fulfills me to see patients feel more themselves after the treatments. The space I found in Old City is a dream workplace and I think the patients will appreciate its’ simplicity as well.

What do you love most about your job?

I have the tools to dramatically improve someone’s life and that is huge. I love watching patients shed their pain, headaches, etc and start to live life without those restrictions.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?

Generally speaking my favorite reaction is when a ‘non-believer’ of acupuncture comes in for treatment and gets great results. The fun part about acupuncture is that you can think whatever you want but it’s going to work for you anyway. The look of surprise on ‘non-believers’ faces when their pain melts away is priceless.
