Patient Success Stories
Nothing gives us greater pleasure than seeing the joy in our patients faces as they make progress in their healing journey. Whether it be recovering from illness, injury or trauma, getting feeling back in their hands or feet, walking without pain for the first time in years, having pain-free periods, getting relief from headaches, or getting pregnant - ultimately they are thrilled to be able to do the things they haven't done in ages. Here are just a few of their stories, in their own words.
"Dr. Summers has made a huge difference in my life. Her treatment program completely eliminated my long standing shoulder pain. I had been to so many doctors and treatments over the past 7 years for my shoulder and no one could fix it. I couldn't fully raise my arm and was in constant pain but she knew just what to do to fix the problem. I am pain free and can finally sleep well again. I am back to playing sports rather than sitting on the sideline. Dr. Summers and her staff are super helpful and her clinic space is clean and comfortable. I can't say enough positives - 5 stars all the way.​

"I've suffered from migraines my whole life and tried everything for it, even acupuncture. Fortunately, I saw a talk by Dr Summers and I decided to try acupuncture again. The pain was so intense, I had to do something. Dr Summers was nothing like my other acupuncturist! She combined acupuncture with other treatments and my migraines are now almost gone! I'm a total believer now.. don't just live with the pain, go see her!"

"I had PCOS for years: weight gain that wouldn't come off no matter what, acne, irregular menstrual cycles, hair growth. It took forever to get diagnosed by my PCP and endocrinologist, and I was so frustrated. They put me on metformin and some other meds which caused more side effects than it helped. They told me I wouldn't be able to get pregnant. I had lost hope that anyone could help me. My friend recommended Dr Summers who did some acupuncture and prescribed some herbal formulas. Just a few months later, my cycles started regulating! I'm not on any herbs or medications anymore and my cycle is totally regular, my acne is gone and I am starting to lose the extra weight. I have hope again and am SO grateful that Dr Summers took the time to listen to me and believe that things could change. She is really the best!"

"Scottsdale Medical Acupuncture is AWESOME! I had chronic bad back pain and sciatica from a sedentary job. I've struggled for a long time and when I booked in, I had thrown my back out again and could barely walk, the pain was so intense. Dr Summers took me in right away and was very patient. After the first treatment, I already noticed a difference and after a few more I could see significant improvement and reduced inflammation. I'm not done all my treatments yet but I'm 90% better already. Dr Summers is so knowledgeable with so many ailments, all without the use of drugs. I have already booked additional sessions for stress and hormonal imbalance. Her office is brand new and clean, very upscale and elegant. Each treatment room has new equipment and full privacy. She truly wants to see her patients feel better and it shows. I'm so glad I found her. I'm a patient for life here!"
