"I feel better than I have in many years! I went to John Walters at HealthPoint Oriental Medicine for fibromyalgia and chronic pain. I had been having so much pain that it was difficult for me to play with my small children. He was very earnest at helping me find solutions for my condition, including acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and other body work. After only 2 months, my general pain level is greatly reduced, my sleep is more sound, and my mind is more alert. He has really helped me get the quality back in my life. Mr. Walters is very courteous, conscientious, and encouraging. I would highly recommend Mr. Walters and this clinic." ~ Karen B.

"After a few treatments at HealthPoint, my shoulder felt remarkably better and has continued to feel better for more than a month now. I would definitely recommend John Walters." ~ Dennis D.

"I have received acupuncture in the past and Mr. Walters' treatment was among the best. John Walters is very knowledgeable, thorough, and a gifted practitioner of Oriental Medicine." ~ Paula D.
