Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Sarah: There are several good acupuncturists in Asheville, NC (over 50). Your in-laws could probably get good treatment from any number of them. With so many qualified acupuncturists here, it really comes down to who they will feel comfortable with. Here are a couple of names of practitioners that are highly skilled, but also provide a professional office (which helps when someone has never been to an acupuncturist before). James Whittle, L.Ac, Blue Ridge Acupuncture Clinic, 959 Merriman Avenue, Asheville, NC 828-254-4405 - James is a superior herbalist. His office is fully staffed. I believe he specializes in cancer treatment. Susan Paul, L.Ac, PRN, Asheville Family Acupuncture, 70 Woodfin Place, Asheville, NC 828-236-1704 - Susan may be a great choice for you. She is a former nurse practitioner and may help allay any hesitancy your in-laws may have. She is a trained herbalist (trained by Ted Kapchuk), but her specialty is definitely acupuncture. The best is probably Whitney Williams, Balance Acupuncture. She is actually in Black Mountain, the next little town over from Asheville. I'll give you her number just in case your in-laws are willing to drive. Whitney has superior skills all the way around, but what makes her truly great is her ability to be compassionate while maintaining professionalism. I believe this is what makes her so popular and her patients so willing to follow her protocols. Her number is 828-669-8800. I hope this information is helpful.
