Spruce Acupuncture - Dr. Sharon Huppe, DACM, LAc

I really liked Sharon's approach of combining acupuncture with traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Sharon is very knowledgeable and approaches the problem holistically making the best effort to find the root cause. In my case, given the tricky nature of my condition, Sharon thoroughly researched the best course of treatment and ensured that I am comfortable with the treatment every step of the way. I was very pleased with the treatment Sharon provided and highly recommend her.

I have a very complex nerve issue, trigeminal neuralgia, that causes extreme burning on my face and affects my nose and mouth. I'm in pain 24/7, but thankfully Sharon helps its severity. She is very thorough in her approach; interviews you prior to treatment, and keeps you calm as she strives to manage or relieve your pain. She's an excellent listener and you always walk away feeling much better than when you arrived. I highly recommend her for her compassion, abilities, and expertise.

I recently went to see Sharon to resolve a back strain I sustained while playing golf, and being over-zealous at the gym too soon. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and owner of a sports med clinic across the bay, I hold high standards when looking for another physician to work on me. I'm a total needle-phobe and I still get squeamish about points I know are sensitive, but Sharon has great technique and I honestly didn't feel any pain (at the same points a dozen other acupuncturists failed me on). She's a good communicator if you get anxious and is patient and respectful of your time and your space. Spruce is a hidden gem in the East Bay. Sharon got me back to working out within two weeks and a few visits. Location is great downtown, close and easy parking. Inside decor and atmospherics are nice and feel of quality. Scheduling online is easy to use, clear and simple. The treatment room is comfortable and clean. Get in with her while she still has some openings! You will get more time and attention than anywhere else.
