NOVA Acupuncture

"Claire Kim has done more to help me in the last 6 weeks than multiple “Top Doctors” in the Washington DC area were able to do in 9 years. I suffered a pelvic injury over 9 years ago and afterward, muscle pain and then nerve pain became the overwhelming features of my life. In 2000, I went to California for specialized surgery; I also tried ketamine infusions; and I even got a spinal cord stimulator. In total, I saw over 40 medical providers over 9 years, including about 10 pelvic pain specialists. My recent spinal cord stimulator surgery sent me into a spiral of increased pain, and I could not imagine having any kind of future. I had already retired early and given up beloved volunteer activities. Then, I lucked into an appointment with Claire Kim, and things quickly began to change. I am not fully recovered (it’s only been 6 weeks) but I have had full days without pain, and on most days my pain is significantly less than it was before I met Ms. Kim. Her knowledge of the nerves in the body far surpasses that of any doctor I have seen. She quickly identifies where the problem spots are and explains things well to me. In addition to having amazing skills, Ms. Kim cares deeply about the people she serves. I cannot possibly express how grateful I am to have been lucky enough to meet Claire Kim."

"Kate Pope has been so amazing. She reviewed and listened to my health issues and thoughtfully came up with a plan to treat me. She adjusted her treatment plan as needed. She is patient, kind, honest, and truly cares. The office staff has also been courteous, friendly and efficient."

"First time going to NOVA Acupuncture today. I can’t imagine a better acupuncture practice better than this one. NOVA Acupuncture is perfection in every way. The comfortable, soothing atmosphere of the office awakens your senses. Everything is so clean and immaculate. The office staff is fantastic; so kind and welcoming. Brittany at the front desk is so pleasant and helpful. Kate Pope was my acupuncturist, and as I told her my litany of pain/health issues, she listened intently and when she asked me all the detail questions I realized she’s a brilliant tactician in determining the best treatment plan for a patient. Kate is so focused on the patient and you get the feeling she really feels your pain. First treatment was amazing. Kate has such a gentle touch I couldn’t feel the needles being put in. I’m being treated for eczema, osteoarthritis, and balance issues and I can’t wait to go back."

"This was my first experience with acupuncture. Dr. Stampe took the time to understand my acupuncture needs, explained the process, and gave holistic recommendations to improve my well being in between sessions (such as information on food energies and qigong for my lower back). I VERY RARELY give 5 stars, but this place deserves it. I can't wait until my next appointment!"

"I decided to use acupuncture to help my Bell's palsy based on a family recommendation and went to NOVA Acupuncture based on reviews and a conversation with Linda. I could not have been happier with my choice. Claire has been fabulous. I credit her with bringing me back to almost 100%. My wife and sister-in-law also used her and have the same high praise. A year ago, I would never have considered using acupuncture; now, I cannot think of living without it. (Even my neurologist suggested I do it!) Five stars for NOVA and Claire!"
