Doctor Godinez is marvelous with her work. From start to finish she provided excellent patient care. Dr. Godinez offered a holistic approach to treatment with basic education of treatment, lifestyle change recommendations (i.e. Diet) and prescribed herbs aside from the needling practice. During my appointment, I truly cherish her offerings of comfort and reassurance before placing any needles. Talking to me through the process helps me anticipate where i will feel pinches and avoid any peaks in my sympathetic nervous system. By far an excellent doctor, I trust her dedication to my wellbeing unconditionally.

I had the good fortune to find Dr Godinez and have sought her care and treatment for the past several months. I can attest that she is a true professional. Whether it is for acupuncture, clinical diagnoses, treatment, or filling a proper prescription, she can be counted on for her competence – and always with a caring and warm, friendly smile. On each visit, she has taken the time to fully understand my medical issues, asks questions, conducts a thorough physical assessment, and discusses treatment options she can offer. I can highly recommend her if you are interested in trying alternative therapy.

Dr. Godinez absolutely saved me. I’ve had herniated discs in my back for years and after tweaking something while training I was in bad shape. Before getting treatment from Dr. Godinez I could not bend over and struggled to put my shoes on everyday. After multiple treatments of acupuncture and cupping as well as a lot of advice from her on stretching, therapy and how to treat as well as care for different muscle groups I quickly improved. I am pain free now and able to train harder than ever. I’m forever in Dr. Godinez’s debt! I’m so grateful for her support.
