I have had several acupuncture treatments to help with post chemo neuropathy as well as other post chemo symptoms. I found that Dr Brown was so kind and calming with all my sessions...I was very nervous having acupuncture! But with Dr Brown's help and reassurance I felt fine and well looked after. Dr Brown has such a positive energy that your worries are completely alleviate! Highly recommend!

FOUND ACCUPUNCTURE REALLY HELPFUL FOR MENOPAUSE SYMPTONS. THERE WAS NO PAIN OR DISCOMFORT WITH NEEDLE INSERTION. CLINCS ARE QUICK AND NO WAITING TIME SO EASY TO PLAN ROUND WORK.

I was very impressed by the clarity, structure and details of the summary of my first appointment. It was the most professional summary of a medical meeting that I have read in any hospital. What particularly impressed me was that it set out precisely how this first session had been designed to "break me in" by conducting it in a chair instead of more formally lying down and with fewer needles than subsequently. Mr Brown cleverly interspersed medical questions with some remarks about Somerset. This limited distraction was vital to me as I am chronically needle phobic. In this way, by partly taking my mind off what might have been an ordeal, Mr Brown ensured that I underwent no strains, mental or physical, from the treatment.
