"My husband and I have been going to Chip for nearly 10 years He saved my husband from getting surgery. We had two doctors tell us he needed surgery and then he will only regain 80% of filling because his sciatic nerve; as soon as Chip began to work on my husband a warm feeling went down his side all the way to his heal. Now he can feel everything and this to us is amazing! As for me I was taking Methotrexate for my Rheumatoid Arthritis which is a cancer medicine. He was able to get me off that medicine nearly ten years ago and I have not been on anything else since.. Yes I have flare ups; but not like I did before. We are so grateful for this Dr. and his Staff! Thank you Chip and Staff for all you do!"

"Dr. Chip is awesome and so is everyone that works there. I had spent 8 plus years going to the V.A. Hospital for trigger point injections. I would receive between 24 to 40 injections from my neck all the way down to my buttocks. None of the shots worked any longer than 2 weeks tops. I finally got the V.A. to send me to an Acupuncturist. I was sent to Ancient Art of Healing which is ran by Dr. Chip. It has been almost 2 years since I have been to see Dr. Chip and I have never felt better. I have been able to walk without pain for the first time in over 20 years. The pain from the herniated disc in my neck and back has gone away. The people on here that are complaining and writing bad reviews, I guess that they were expecting a miracle the first or second time getting the acupuncture. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Maybe they just needed a few more appointments to experience the full benefits. Sure acupuncture is not cheap and some insurances won't cover it but Dr. Chip will work with you. I have finally played golf again after almost 5 years. As far as being political, I wish that Dr. Chip would have been political with me... I love a good debate! Thank you Dr. Chip"

"My grandmother, who is 80 y/o, has been having sitting issues and went to Dr. Beardsley for acupuncture. Her first visit was unpleasant because the entire time she was bombarded by political opinions from Dr. Beardsley. Not only that but nothing felt better so she decided to try it again but this time brought forwards her questions and concerns to Dr. Beardsley. He rudely opened the door and told her to leave because she was asking for reassurance. This was extremely unprofessional. As a Doctor you should want to make your patients feel comfortable and WANT to reassure them, not tell them to leave and talk about politics in a place of business (relaxation). She's very upset this happened and hurt by this place of business. if anyone is choosing to come here, don't. You will not be treated with respect and have political opinions crammed down your throat. Fair warning ahead of time."

"Dr. Beardsley and staff are amazing. He has truly healed myself and family members of many illnesses all thru natural medicine and acupuncture. Can’t rave enough about this Dr and practice."

"Skill a decent human being does not make. After several appointments (all of which I paid CASH for) I was greeted angrily with a man spouting negativity about his dealings with insurance companies, spewing figures in the thousands of which he was owed by OTHER patients insurance companies - a completely separate matter for what I was there for.....to FEEL BETTER. This man's emotions (not to mention beliefs) are totally off kilter and I wish to forewarn anyone who visits this office. The assistant even apologized to me for the abusive and harsh demeanor after I was left in the lobby reduced to tears! I was utterly stunned and shocked by this behavior...and doctors are supposed to take an oath to "do no harm"..."
