Fantastic - my pain and hot flashes have subsided and I have the tools to manage relaxation thanks to Dr Brown
I was very impressed by the clarity, structure and details of the summary of my first appointment. It was the most professional summary of a medical meeting that I have read in any hospital. What particularly impressed me was that it set out precisely how this first session had been designed to "break me in" by conducting it in a chair instead of more formally lying down and with fewer needles than subsequently. Mr Brown cleverly interspersed medical questions with some remarks about Somerset. This limited distraction was vital to me as I am chronically needle phobic. In this way, by partly taking my mind off what might have been an ordeal, Mr Brown ensured that I underwent no strains, mental or physical, from the treatment.
Dr Brown is excellent at his job. Very professional and polite and takes the time to explain things properly. Could not wish for a better DR
I am grateful for the support offered by Dr Brown to manage the pain I suffer from cutaneous Breast cancer. Being of eastern Asian origin, I particularly appreciate his understanding and skills he offer in Accuponture.
It’s always a pleasure to see Dr Brown. He’s professional, empathetic and warm, and always communicates with clarity and kindness. He recently taught me how to self administer acupuncture needling. His instructions were easy to follow and his supportive guidance gave me the confidence to do this at home.
I was unsure how acupuncture could help with my hot flushes and sleep issues but after the second appointment, I have noticed a real change in both.
Very professional and friendly. Has really helped me to manage my symptoms, highly recommend.
Dr Brown is excellent at pain management using acupuncture. He provides a holistic approach to manage pain with detailed assessment and pain free acupuncture . Great he showed me how to self needle in feet reducing the time to see him face to face . He is supported by a strong admin team for booking appointments. A very happy patient.
Very happy with results from acupuncture . Made to feel comfortable throughout the process
