Real patients and colleagues in their own words…

"It is hard to fit so many good thoughts about your work into just a few sentences. Both Kristen and Tony have been of great help to me both personally and professionally. I have observed the effectiveness of their work and have received acupuncture from each of them with considerable success."

“I had the opportunity to work closely with Kristen Burris during a month-long rotation at the San Diego Hospice. She worked exceedingly well with Western-trained physicians. She never offered to treat anything outside her scope of practice, and was genuinely helpful in offering possible treatment solutions to patients with difficult treatment dilemmas. She demonstrated this on me with a very short acupuncture treatment for a left trapezium spasm from which I have been completely cured.”

The first time I stepped into the American Acupuncture Center, I immediately felt the healing begin to take place. The Burris' peaceful clinic is a reflection of who they are: highly-trained professionals who care intensely about the physical and emotional well-being of their patients. I continue to trust both Kristen and Tony with my medical needs, which have ranged from arthritis and dry eye to pregnancy and migraine headaches. They are both as knowledgeable as they are tender. Having lived in many different parts of the country, I have yet to find two acupuncturists who are as skilled, as successful, and as passionate about Oriental medicine as Kristen and Tony are.

After years of dealing with infertility, I was lucky enough to find Kristen and Tony Burris. My weekly acupuncture treatments not only helped me to mentally deal with the stress, anxiety and feelings of hopelessness that come with infertility, but also helped us achieve our goal of finally becoming pregnant! I saw Kristen and Tony throughout our entire IVF process and we had success on the first try. Undoubtedly, their care and dedication to my treatment helped prepare my mind and body for a successful pregnancy. Because I had experienced several miscarriages, I continued to see Kristen through my first trimester and am now almost 7 months pregnant. I highly recommend their services to anyone interested in alternative medicine, whether for infertility or any other reason.

Going to get help for low energy and soreness, this acupuncture center has been a tremendous help for me. They recommended me going for three weeks, so my body can adjust to the acupuncture's relaxing, (compared to other acupuncturists) treatment. I have taking their suggestion in receiving acupuncture for three weeks now and do feel that their practice has helped my energy and body aches to seem much more less. I do recommend the treatment they offer and I personally am so glad I have stumbled across this acupuncture center.

I believe one of the main reasons my wife and I could have our child was because of the American Acupuncture Center. Thank you 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!”

“What I found when I came to the center was much more than I was searching for! Kristen and Tony Burris are much more than good acupuncturists. The knowledge and touch they have for healing the whole body is awesome! Not only have they helped me with replacing estrogen with herbs to balance my hormones, but the treatments that I receive to support this change are wonderful. I have never felt the calmness, peacefulness and serenity from anything else in my life. I only wish I could get a treatment everyday! I wholeheartedly recommend American Acupuncture Center to anyone who has an imbalance that has not been remedied through other channels or like myself wanted a natural remedy to balance my body and enrich my spirit.”

“Thank you, Kristen, for being a wise, generous and nurturing healer. I know that God uses you to touch many lives and I am grateful to be one of them. It would not have been possible if wonderful people like you had not opened your hearts and spoken the truth to me—so I am eternally grateful.”

“Your deep compassion and insight into other’s suffering is quite apparent. Keep up your marvelous work that is guided by a very acute intuition.”

“I have scleroderma, polymyocytis and celiac disease. When I arrived for my first appointment at American Acupuncture Center, I was suffering from mild depression. I was very hopeful when the depression subsided entirely and I began to take better care of my body, mind and spirit. The idea in Chinese medicine that the entire person needs to be treated and not just the symptoms is what appeals to me. Through the treatments and the insight of American Acupuncture Center, and your effort, you are opening the door to better health.”

As a television news anchor, my station expects me to be at my best every time I'm on the air. I rely on my voice like a quarterback relies on his arm.

So when I'm fighting a painful throat or laryngitis, I take the battle quite seriously. And I trust the team at American Acupuncture Center to reduce the swelling, relieve the pain, and restore my voice.

We aren't all professional athletes, but we all rely on our bodies to perform. And AAC treats healing like an Art.
