I have suffered from chronic back pain for many, too many, years. Treatment in the past have included those usually most typically "prescribed"; prescription, massage therapy, physical therapy and well you get the point. While beneficial; they always provided temporary relief. Recently I started exploring and researching for alternative and found an article regarding acupuncture. It pecked my interest and I subsequently made an appointment with Justin Mao at the Chrysalis Natural Medicine Clinic.

All it has been AMAZING - after my first acupuncture treatment I immediately felt the most comfort I had in YEARS. Most importantly everyone there; Justin, Mr. and Mrs. Tillotson and the office staff members, have always been pleasant, thoughtful and displayed true compassion. My only regrets: That I had explored natural intervention many moons ago. Love it - acupuncture has been relaxing - ASTONISHING!

I am so thankful to have had Justin treating me with acupuncture and Chinese herbs both during my pregnancy and postpartum. He is so knowledgeable and thorough in his treatments and is always there to answer questions and provide additional resources. If you are suffering from any type of issue, I suggest connecting with Justin to figure out the root cause so you can find relief. Too often doctors want to just prescribe the same meds to everyone, but here you'll receive individualized care and the benefits of acupuncture are amazing!

The staff members are extremely friendly and helpful too. This is a wonderful place to improve your health and well-being. I saw Naixin years ago, and I'm so happy Justin is able to continue offering treatments!

I am so glad I found Chrysalis Natural Medicine Clinic. Justin Mao has greatly helped my mother who suffers from heart and abdominal issues. Her health has greatly improved since under his care. Justin Mao is very understanding and listens to all concerns. I highly recommend him. Staff is courteous and professional.

Justin is amazing! I have seen many doctors over the past 3 years and was not seeing the results I was hoping for. I was telling someone my story and they recommended Chrysalis Natural Medicine. Justin has been helping for over 6 months now and has been very successful. He listens to all of my complaints and explains everything perfectly. He has helped me with digestion issues, anxiety, and pain. I highly recommend Chrysalis Natural Medicine and am looking forward to getting acupuncture done next week.

I have been getting acupuncture treatment from Justin for a short time but it has made such a difference with my pain. He makes adjustments to the points to make sure I am really getting the best results. He always says if I don't feel like I am improving we will switch it up until we find what works. I am so thankful that I finally made the appointment and that I am not living in pain everyday anymore.

Justin is amazing! He is professional, very knowledgable, informative, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. I have been dealing with digestive issues for years; and was bounced between multiple doctors and specialists. Justin talked about the root cause of my symptoms, and explained the whole treatment plan going forward. After 2 sessions I've already noticed significant improvements! I'm very happy with the results, and have no problem recommending Justin to my family and friends.

I am very healthy but have high ldl and total cholesterol. Traditional dr has been pushing statins for years- i took them for 2 months but didn't like muscle aches and concerns with long term brain issues. I've read many books on cholesterol and it's uses in the body. Dr. Tillotson doesnt treat cholesterol (bc that's not the problem). He works with you on diet, inflammation issues and overall health.

Much of what he does seems to be trying to fix what traditional medicine has broken. Be prepared to change your diet, habits and way of life- otherwise things won't improve. Work with these folks and get away from traditional "medicine" and within a few months you will see drastic improvements. I've referred my sister and niece to their practice- that says a lot.
