Testimonials
Posted on Mary CohenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been amazing! I originally went because I have a chronic lower back which she cured. I then was picking out flooring and took the sample and by mistake, smacked it on both my top of my feet which she proceeded to do acupuncture on and gave me a pain spray which healed my foot and alleviated any discomfort. I acquired an eye on the back heel. . I acquired a corn eye on the back heel of one of my feet which I was concerned was a calcification that would have to be removed. Dr. Gordana Smith told me that it was a corn eye and not a classification and to treat it at night with organic apple cider vinegar Put it on a cotton ball and put a Band-Aid over the acorn at night and sleep with it and then in the morning take it off and put castor oil on it during the day. I would like to report that the corn eye is totally gone. she’s an amazing woman, and I will continue to go to her for immune building as well as any ailments that I have. I am healthy and now than I have been in many years and I think Dr. Cordona Smith for all of it.Posted on Kevin SargeantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I came to Gordana with my thirteen year old son who had multiple fractures in his feet. I have seen orthopedic specialists only to find out that a long rest is our option. Gordana helped my son to heal, relax, gave us excellent overall health advice and also connected us with other health professionals that my son needed. Gordana is the most friendly, extremely positive, knowledgeable and skilled acupuncturist. She is wonderful person, works with passion and most of all is a true professional. I highly recommend Gordana and if I could I would give her 10 STARS!!!Posted on Aña OrtollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

She's given me the most positive experience I've ever had with any health professional. She listens to her patients and gives wonderful healing guidance and treatment. I wish I could give her six stars!Posted on Carmen RichardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gordana is an incredible resource for anyone looking for holistic treatment for any health issues or anyone wanting to maintain optimum health. She is a wonderful listener, looking to treat the whole person, not the symptoms. She has provided excellent care and treatment for myself and several of my family members. It is refreshing to have treatment that doesn't always require medication. If you have been wondering if acupuncture could be beneficial for you, I highly recommend you visit her. You will not be disappointed.Posted on AaliyahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Smith has saved my life! I came to see her six months ago after seeing four specialists, numerous visit with my primary care physician, and four visits to the ER. I was experiencing terrible upper back pain, chest pain, muscle spasms, fatigue, heart palpitations, weakness, and pain in my joints. I was also experiencing a lot of anxiety and brain fog. Most days I felt lethargic and I just didn’t feel like myself. Dr. Smith is amazing! She listened to my symptoms and showed me genuine compassion. From the very first appointment she told me that she suspected Lyme. She sent me for bloodwork and she was 100% right! She implemented my health to recovery with a new diet, gluten free, sugar free, dairy free. I was able to start on Doxycycline right away. I also continued to see Dr. Smith for acupuncture and 4 weeks later I felt a big difference. It has been a long recovery but I know treatments are working. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Smith! And I still can’t believe she is the only doctor that was able to help me and the only one that got my diagnosis right. I am grateful for her knowledge, her compassion and tough love. Grateful forever!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
