Read our Patient Reviews

I have been a patient of Dr. Skelton for almost 15 years. I have had neck and shoulder pain for years. Acupuncture controls this pain.
I have had acupuncture before by others but no one else has provided relief in such a short time. Your style is much more gentle and you just seem to know where to treat me.
Everyone is so kind and caring from the doctor to the receptionist. Dr. Skelton is open to trying what is best for the patient. He listens and lets the patient be proactive in their care.
This was fantastic! Thank you. Your showed me how to get well. You were honest with me and encouraged me to engage in the process of finding my health again. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
