 Trustindex 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.

 Trustindex 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!!!

 Trustindex 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.

We offer functional medicine testing for food allergies, mold, heavy metal toxicity and Lyme disease, so we can find the root of your problem instead of guessing.
Acupuncture became widely known in the U.S. after President Nixon’s 1972 visit to China. In China it has been practiced for more than 2,000 years.
A World Health Organization review of controlled clinical trials found acupuncture proven effective for 28 conditions, including low back pain, headaches, nausea and allergies, and promising for dozens more.
Ozone therapy has an outstanding safety record. A survey by the German Medical Society for Ozone Therapy of more than 5.5 million treatments in over 384,000 patients found side effects in fewer than 1 in 100,000 treatments.
Nikola Tesla patented one of the first ozone generators in the United States in 1896, and he later founded the Tesla Ozone Company.
Ozone was in American medicine even before Tesla. New York chemist Charles Marchand sold Glycozone, an ozone-treated glycerin, to doctors, and his book on its medical uses was already in its eighth edition by 1894.
