“I don’t know how else to say this: Dr. Mercer has changed my life! Before coming to see her I would get debilitating motion sickness all the time. Since coming to her I can ride in a plane, boat, car, and train, and even read! I no longer need to avoid travelling and have since been able to go on a dream vacation that I never would have considered a year ago!”

"I first started treatment with Melanie back in 2009 when I was going through some difficult personal health issues, and still see her today, though for different reasons. I found her to be professional and thoroughly knowledgeable in all aspects of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, including herbal remedies. Perhaps more importantly, she's the kindest, most compassionate health care provider I've ever encountered. You never feel rushed or get the sense that you don't have her full attention. She's a great listener who's quick to smile and somehow puts you at ease even when discussing the most personal details of your health. Melanie has helped me with many issues and I can't recommend her highly enough."
