Success Stories

I am so happy to have Dr Erin West in my life. She is competent, caring and compassionate. She is very easy to talk to and she listens. Dr West’s treatments are helping me manage several issues and I always look forward to going to her peaceful, comfortable office. As a person who-for years- loved getting acupuncture and other Eastern Medicine treatments when I lived another state it has been a big relief to me to find her when I moved to AZ. And I have to add how nice it is be greeted by Rob, Dr.West’s husband, at the front desk. Rob handles all the admin, will greet you with a smile, and make sure you are comfortable before your treatment. This family business is a treasure.

I was originally skeptical about acupuncture and the whole process. But Dr West has put all the skepticism aside. Her ability to target certain areas of your body and really listen to you is astounding. She helps you, relaxes you, listens to you, and most importantly heals you. I’ve had chronic neck and jaw pain from a car accident back in 2010. She has helped alleviate the constant pain I was suffering. She continues to help in identifying other ways to live a healthier lifestyle to alleviate other issues I was having. Take away the fact that she’s an amazing doctor … she’s also a wonderful human being. You will leave there feeling at peace. I’m so thankful I found her place and tried acupuncture. Who knew that getting acupuncture would actually be relaxing and healing. I do now. (:

Excellent experience with every visit!

I am so thankful for Dr. Erin. She has done wonders for my body. A car crash almost six years ago and covid making the injury last longer than it should have, made me unable to use my right shoulder due to pain. Erin started working on me over a year later, and months after having covid, got me functioning again. Due to her treatment I wish I had seen her before having a neurologist suggest and have nerves cut to stop the pain. Erin healed the surgery and healed the actual problem. Cutting nerves is not the solution. I wish I had never had it done. But its all fixed now.

I have been receiving treatment from Dr. West for a little over a year. As both an acupuncturist and the owner of her clinic Dr. West brings a level of expertise, and personal care that sets her apart. What stands out the most is Dr. West's genuine interest in understanding your specific needs and concerns. Her deep knowledge of acupuncture and holistic health is evident in every session. She takes the time to thoroughly explain the process, ensuring you are comfortable and aware of what to expect. The treatments are highly effective, and I have not only noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms but also a complete cure. Dr. West's gentle approach and careful attention makes each session not only therapeutic, but also deeply relaxing. As the owner Dr. West's commitment to providing the best care is evident in every aspect of the clinic. The environment is impeccably maintained and her team reflects the same level of care she embodies. If you're looking for an acupuncturist who truly cares about your well being look no further than Dr. West. Her expertise and dedication makes her the best in the field. Thank you Dr. West!

Dr. West has superior knowledge about her craft. She understands my body's changing needs. She especially helped me manage my asthma symptoms and seasonal allergies. I highly recommend Dr. West for all your health and wellness needs.

Dr. West has been my life saver. I’ve worked with her the past couple of years and she has got me through balancing my hormones, my fertility journey/pregnancy and helping to manage pain!! Her hands are like magic! I absolutely love her. Rob (front desk) is so kind and helpful with booking and always goes out of his way to accommodate me. It’s a relaxing and comfortable space and i look forward to going there every visit!

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am that life led me to seek acupuncture and that Dr. West is the provider I found. Dr. West helped me understand and address some chronic health issues that I had been battling for 10-15 years. You do not have to suffer or feel alone in your health journey; Eastern medicine has so much to offer. As a practitioner, Dr. West is kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly listens with an open mind and heart. She is easily one of the warmest people I have ever encountered. Rob at the front desk makes you feel welcome the second you walk in the door. The treatment rooms are impeccably clean and comfortable. Careful detail was clearly taken to create the best possible experience for patients. I highly recommend Mend Acupuncture!

I don’t know if I can even put into words how amazing of a person and gifted clinician Dr. West is. I’ve battled chronic migraines for 15 years. Saw a neurologist and had injections, Botox, many different medications with no relief and no answers. I started Acupuncture with Dr. West in March and the results have been life changing. I’m forever thankful I was referred to her practice. She is so thorough, knowledge, patient, kind, empathetic and truly gifted at what she does. The techniques she uses is effective and she is so gentle! The office is always on time, clean, greeted by the best! Appointments are always booked and organized.

Been going here for a long time and it has helped in so many ways. Better sleep, better health and lowered my weight and neck, back and shoulder pain. Dr Erin is very compassionate and explains things so well, and takes the time to talk with you really does care about her patients and your well being. I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you Dr Erin and Rob!

Dr West and her husband Rob are exceptional providers at Mend Acupuncture. Dr West is very knowledgeable and provides treatment according to her patients needs. She is professional while displaying compassion and understanding to all. Rob runs the front office and is attentive and helpful. When you arrive he will greet you with a smile and will answer any questions regarding appointments, insurance and services offered at the office. I would highly recommend contacting Mend for your health needs.

Dr Erin & staff are just incredible. My husband and I struggled to have children for nearly 7 years before we decided to try doing IVF and using a surrogate to carry for us. After doing lots of research we kept hearing that acupuncture (when done right) can absolutely affect blood flow and success rates for implantation. Well 6 years later we now have two sons. Dr Erin worked her needle magic for both our transfer preps and during pregnancy to help our surrogate get her body best prepared to accept our embryo and to allow the embryo to implant and thrive. They were a dream to work with and became a key part of the team leading to our success. I highly recommend them not just for IVF/pregnancy but for all your acupuncture needs. We are truly grateful to have benefited from their expertise.

I highly recommend Dr West. She is an extraordinary practitioner and I trust her completely with my health care needs. I was rehabbing a broken ankle, and acupuncture progressed my healing faster as a compliment to my PT. Acupuncture made a huge difference in my ability to walk. I also worked with Dr West to calm my nervous system and address f/f states. I had amazing outcomes.

I have been working with Dr. West for about a year. I have taken time to review her background, education, experience, her reviews, and the success she has had with her patients. Her track record is impressive, and I would recommend her to even my closest friends and family.

My experience with Mend Acupuncture and Dr. West has been incredibly positive. Dr. West has facilitated my healing journey post fertility treatment. In addition, her technique and expertise has allowed for stress reduction and better sleep. As a new acupuncture patient, I was not sure what to expect. My expectations were exceeded after my first session. I hardly felt the acupuncture needles, in fact they have almost an instant calming effect promoting deep relaxation. After each session, I wish I can stay on the table so much longer. Dr. West pays close attention to individual needs and strives to maximize healing each and every session. She cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to create a nurturing and safe environment. Office manager, Rob West, provides outstanding customer service and always makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. Patient care is priority at this office and no matter what the health struggle, I highly recommend Mend Acupuncture. 10/10!!

I have been going to Dr. West for over a year now and I can't emphasize enough how wonderful she is! She is so knowledgeable in her field and has helped me feel more connected to my body. Her treatments have significantly helped my back pain. Not only is she good at what she does, but she is as sweet as can be! She genuinely cares deeply about her patients and takes the time to get to know them. I am so grateful to have found her as she is not only my acupuncturist, but she has become a friend. I highly recommended Dr. West! If you go to her you will not be disappointed!💖

There are not enough kind words to describe Dr West. She is incredibly compassionate and thoughtful, pouring so much of herself into the healing of her patients. Her treatments are worth every penny, she has helped me with both my mental and physical health while pregnant and in between pregnancies. She is not only a highly trusted doctor, but also now a dear friend. Could not recommend her more.

I have experienced the very best care and healing from Dr West at Mend Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. Her professionalism and medical knowledge has relieved my pain, reduced my inflammation and increased my circulation. I am a 68 year old female with an apprehension for needles and many severe conditions but now finally my body is responding from her treatments. I am so very thankful. And kudos to Rob, the cheerful office manager, who has all the organizational skills that contribute to the success of the patients well being.

Dr. West is a beautiful combination of a wise healer and a trusted counselor, treating mind, body, and spirit. She is an empathic listener and puts her all into providing a comprehensive and effective treatment plan. Because of her treatments, I no longer live with the stomach pain I had experienced for 3 years!

I have been a devoted patient of Dr. Erin West at Mend Acupuncture for the past 7 years, and my experience has consistently been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you step into the clinic, the warm and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a positive healing experience. Firstly, I must commend the incredible front desk staff, particularly Rob, for making scheduling and checking out such a breeze. His efficiency and friendliness contribute to the overall smooth running of the clinic. It's rare to find a front desk guy that not only handles administrative tasks seamlessly but also exudes a genuine commitment to patient care. Dr. West herself is a true gem in the field of acupuncture and holistic wellness. Over the years, she has played a pivotal role in my fertility journey, offering valuable insights and effective treatments to prepare my body for pregnancy. Despite ultimately choosing a different path, Dr. West has seamlessly transitioned her care towards supporting my overall well-being. Her dedication to her patients goes beyond the treatment room, creating a sense of trust and partnership that is truly invaluable. The facility at Mend Acupuncture is, without a doubt, top-notch. Immaculately clean, wonderfully quiet, and exuding an overall sense of tranquility, it provides the ideal environment for healing and relaxation. There's a certain magic to each session, and I often find myself wishing that the treatments wouldn't have to end. In conclusion, Dr. Erin West and the entire team at Mend Acupuncture have created a space where healing is not only effective but also a genuinely pleasant experience. If you are seeking a practitioner who is not only skilled in acupuncture but also deeply committed to your well-being, look no further than Dr. West at Mend Acupuncture. A five-star rating doesn't quite do justice to the excellence provided by this outstanding clinic.

I am so grateful to have found Dr. West and Mend Acupuncture. Dr. West really listens to me, which I have found to be rare as a woman patient even among female providers. When I first saw Dr. West, I had a chronic condition that had not been helped by any of the other multiple providers I had seen (both eastern and western medicine based). Now that condition has been greatly improved and I have needed her for other ailments or issues since then that she has expertly treated. I have sent both my husband and my best friend to Dr. West because I trust her implicitly. As a bonus, the office is well run by Rob West who is always extremely friendly and communicative. I highly recommend Mend for any of your health and wellness needs.

This is a long review for a good reason. If you are seeking care and hesitant about acupuncture, this is your place! After more than a decade fighting migraines, my team of doctors, including my neurologist, gave me two last "hail mary" options: chiropractor or acupuncture. Considering my neurologist sees many patients from malpractice of chiropractors, I chose the latter, figuring I wasn't scared of needles and it couldn't hurt me, so what did I have to lose? Regardless, being of a scientific background, I researched thoroughly and was happy to find Dr. West and her good reviews. It was the first time I felt both seen and heard. What unfolded over nearly two years of care was pure magic, though that isn't fair to describe Dr. West's work as magic because she puts so much effort into each patient! She never stops learning or trying - a rare occurrence nowadays. I am now migraine free AND off all medications. She also helped with many of my other ailments, completely turning around my life, and she did it with a huge smile on her face. If you would have told me all of this a few years ago I'd laugh. Acupuncture, more specifically Dr. West, literally saved my life. I would be on disability right now, but instead I am traveling pain-free. If that isn't enough, her wonderful husband, Rob, runs the office and is a delight. This duo keeps the place very clean, comfortable, and atmospheric. In every visit not only do you get top-notch acupuncture, you get rest and respite, plus a wonderful, heart-warming interaction with them both.

Absolutely love my time each week at Mend. Dr. West is so caring and kind while helping me work towards my fertility goals. Rob is always beyond helpful as well and does an amazing job accommodating needs. Cannot recommend Mend Acupuncture enough!

I have been under Dr West’s care for the last two years with consistently superior results. Ive had an auto immune disease for 50 years and Dr West’s care enables me to maintain a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle without the typical pharmas. That said, Dr West appreciates Western medicine and knows how to work as a team with traditional medical practices. Dr. West is not only a gifted healer - she deeply cares for her patients and enjoys providing care! She is also an excellent listener and an innovative doctor. Her husband, Rob, adds to the care with his skilled management and genuine interest in client needs. Dr West and Rob are the real deal!
