WAY Wellness Center 1360 Old Freeport Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15238

"I came to WAY Wellness Center with an open mind, curious about acupuncture and Chinese medicine but without any prior experience. I was wanting a change in my life and this was something I decided to explore. Trying something new can be intimidating, but from the very first interaction, Daniel Johnson made me feel perfectly at ease. An extra bonus on top of the acupuncture itself is his guidance, which has been transformative. Each session provides things to think about, practical ideas and 'homework' that I've been able to apply in my daily life. The deeper benefits of these practices really come from the commitment you bring, and for me, it's been one of the best gifts I've given myself in a long time. I'm genuinely grateful I stumbled into WAY Wellness Center and decided to explore this modality."

"I been in chronic pain a little over 20 yrs now. I had a pain pump implanted in 2007 which has given me slight relief. I started accupunture for the first time a few months ago. Prior to see Daniel Johnson my acupuncturist my feet up to the top of my ankles were actually in atrophy. Daniel has actually practiced Chinese medicine to point where he can feel where I am hurting just by passing his hands over my body and he must be able to tell there is blockage there. I can actually feel the chi passing through his hands (I tell him he has manic hands) but when he placed the needles you can tell he hits the exact point from the way it feels. I have been headed to be in a wheelchair 24- 7 for the past few years. After Daniel has been working on me for the past few months I have been able to use my wheel chair less and less. You have let him know what differences you notice after he's worked on you,but he listens to you and tell he tries to fine tunes his treatment plans. He cares about you don't just get a generic treatment that would make you feel good for a couple of hours. He wants and tries to find where the root of your problem is coming from, just as much as you want him to find it. If you are in pain and get get any relief, I highly recommend you give Way Wellness in Fox Chapel and make an appointment with Daniel Johnson ( magic hands) he's definitely the Real Deal."

"Honestly, Dr.Bastress and the Way Wellness Center have changed my life. I was treated for my seasonal allergies and after one treatment I was able to enjoy the outdoors again, I could go to the park with my daughter without fear and tissues tucked in my pockets. I could enjoy the summer more than ever before. Since I was about 11 summers were rough, I stayed inside a lot more than I wanted to. I traveled with lemon water and licorice root - didn't work. I changed my diet completely for years - didn't work. I popped Claritin and Zyrtec like candy for years - didn't work. I tried exposure therapy and cut grass myself (got hives on my eyes) .... didn't work. I will swear by this technique that Dr.Bastress uses and continue to venture into their other services such as acupuncture and massage therapy as well. So happy I found this practice."

"Dr. Rob is an amazing practitioner! I've seen a handful of acupuncturists throughout the years with varying degrees of success, but Dr. Rob is incredibly skilled. His diagnostic process is spot on, he listens to both what the body and the person is saying to develop an effective treatment plan. I initially went to see him for some sleep issues and depression and within a month he had me feeling like a different person. He is more than happy to discuss and explain any of the modalities and treatments and he does so with an absolutely charming disposition. He also is incredibly honest and provides opportunity for you to weigh in on your progress and treatment plan (ie he won't tell you to come more than necessary). He is also very present during consults making sure he takes the time needed to answer questions and make you feel like you are getting his full attention. The practice has easy online appointment scheduling which is an added bonus and ample easy parking out front. The office itself is clean, comfortable, and welcoming and while I've had minimal contact with other staff those small encounters have been pleasant. Note that if you have mobility constraints to access the office requires navigating a few stairs down (with handrails) once you enter the building. I'm not sure if there is an alternate entrance. Go ahead and schedule for anything that ails you!"

"I couldn't be happier with the care I receive from Daniel and his team at WAY Wellness! They are always accommodating to see me based on my schedule and needs. Daniel is incredible - truly a healer in every way. His knowledge, skill, and compassion are unlike anything I've experienced. He listens and provides a level of comfort and healing that always exceed my expectations. Daniel has helped me with pain/injury, stress/anxiety, and overall health. I am forever grateful for him and his team!"
