“I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how totally impressed we are with what Tony has done for us. Just as he knew he would, Tony has converted one of the biggest skeptics, my husband, to a believer in acupuncture. He will no longer suffer with those debilitating episodes with his back that long again. Although he has yet to experience a set back since he has last seen Tony, now he knows exactly how to treat it! I must admit, I was waiting until allergy season really hit to see if the treatment Tony gave Josh really worked. Now that the pollen levels for grass (one of his biggest triggers) have reached the extreme levels, Josh is almost a normal human. He is just a little bit stuffy. Given the fact that he is now taking NOTHING for his allergies, this is huge!! He was taking Singulair, Claritin and pseudoephedrine daily, with little relief. He is outside playing golf almost daily, and without having to deal with such severe allergies, his is having a great year! We have literally spent thousands of dollars trying to treat his allergies, and we were considering spending thousands more on allergy shots. I’m so glad that I called you instead!!! Thanks for everything!! ”

“I came to Tony Burris mainly due to carpal tunnel syndrome. I had been told by my doctor that I should have surgery. Tony took the time to listen to me, uncovering other areas along with my primary illness that he could help me overcome with acupuncture. Tony was quite kind, gentle, professional and dedicated to helping me. I never felt any pain. My carpal tunnel disappeared after a few treatments. I strongly encourage you to make Tony your acupuncturist. Be prepared to be amazed!”

“I was so pleased with the results I received from Tony Burris. I am a very conservative western medical gal. I found myself in such chronic pain three months after a shoulder injury that I could only survive the day on heavy pain medication. I was willing to try anything. You were so kind and positive. Acupuncture made me nervous. I thought it would hurt. You were very informative and gentle. After two treatments I felt measurable improvement and by the fifth treatment I was almost pain free. Thank you for your knowledge and helping me through a tough time.”
