Dr. Horner: I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the acupuncture treatment plan you have developed specifically for my needs. After three years of very aggressive but unsuccessful [acupuncture] treatment in Dallas I have found that your minimalistic approach to acupuncture has been perfect for my sensitive system. I feel stronger and my allergy symptoms have shown dramatic improvement. You were right in your evaluation that in my case less was better. I have more energy and my immune system seems better than ever. For the first time in five years I have made it through the holiday season with very few allergy symptoms and I have felt great under the usual stress of the season. Thanks again for the time you have spent working to tailor your treatment to my specific needs. – J.D.

“I am a 68 year old university lecturer who was first referred to Kristen Horner for ear and facial pain by my family doctor. At my first visit, I was greatly impressed by the fact that Kristen spent about an hour discussing my medical history and existing overall health situation. In addition to the facial pain that I was experiencing, my family doctor had earlier diagnosed some fairly severe intestinal pain and discomfort as symptoms of a very low-functioning gallbladder. At the time, he had recommended that I give serious consideration to having my gallbladder removed. After the consultation with Ms. Horner, she began acupuncture treatments which included treating the intestinal problems and also, suggested that I consult with my cardiologist about the possibility of changing my cholesterol medication, which ultimately did occur. Since that time, my gallbladder has returned to near normal function and I have had very occasional and mild intestinal discomfort. She has also successfully helped me in coping with life-long allergy and bronchitis problems. The thing that has impressed me the most is the comprehensive approach and treatment that she has taken to alleviating my health problems at each office visit. In addition, she is not reluctant in referring me to other health professionals when she thinks that it is necessary. She is a highly skilled and professional person who has greatly enhanced the way that I view handling health issues.” - E.S.

My knees had become very stiff. They did not bend well, and they did not straighten out well. I moved awkwardly and slowly. After acupuncture treatments, I experienced significant improvement. It feels like my knees have been oiled. They move much better than before. The chage is marvelous. - S.B.

“In 2009 I spent 6 months seeing multiple M.D.s to diagnose what appeared to be Lupus or symptoms resembling those of Fibromyalgia, but none of these doctors could diagnose what I had. One even told me, “I don’t know what you have but when it does turn into Lupus I have a great drug for you.” Each office visited simply ended with, “Come back in 6 months.” In addition to my myriad physical symptoms, the feeling of despair and having no one who could care for ALL of my issues was crushing. I would try different health regimes (strict diet, particular exercises, supplements) but none were sustainable in a busy life. I was completely overwhelmed with the task of having to care for my own health. I have now been seeing Kristen for a year and I feel so much better. Almost immediately I felt the difference of being in the care of someone who was concerned with not just one system or symptom, but my entire self. With patience and adherence to the simple instructions from Kristen, I have been relieved of nearly all my pain and feel more “whole” than I have ever felt. Kristen is truly a gifted healer and gives of herself to her patients like no other health care practitioner I have met or even heard of. I am so thankful to her and to Traditional Chinese Medicine for helping me live a normal and healthy life. Now, not only am I feeling worlds better, but I am enjoying a healthy pregnancy under Kristen’s care.” – A.F.

“All my life I have had pain from skeletal and joint problems – with osteoporosis, scoliosis, a slipped disc, and fibromyalgia. I had great help from yoga, chiropractic, massage, and a rheumatologist, but still endured almost constant pain. Finally, I added acupuncture with Kristen Horner and was amazed at the relief I received from the painless sessions. I have been impressed with Kristen’s professional and empathic approach and by her knowledge and expertise. I have much less joint and muscle pain now and have been able to arrive at a maintenance level schedule. Although I still have some pain, I am much more comfortable that I ever have been before. When I first came to Kristen, I had lost hope of ever being pain free. She has restored that hope. I am truly grateful and I heartily recommend her.” - P.H.

“I did a lot of research beforehand and I am so happy that I decided to call Kristen! I have had problems with fibromyalgia which was also causing my anxiety and depression, IBS and PMS with severe cramping. I have tried medications (all had uncomfortable side effects to say the least), chiropractors and was even contemplating surgery. Within a month I had complete relief from my PMS and my IBS. I have been going to see Kristen now for 3 ½ months, and my fibromyalgia pain is no longer bothering me. My anxiety and depression are much better as well. I can finally sleep better at night and I have a lot more energy during my day, which is very important so I can keep up with my toddler. Something that I was not intending to fix with acupuncture, my bunion on my left foot has completely gone away as well! I am so glad I did not spend the money on a podiatrist before going to see Kristen. I also take herbal supplements that have made a tremendous difference overall. Even my 2 year old daughter takes the herbal allergy medicine which has no side effects like her regular prescription drug does.” - D.E.

“I belive that acupuncture has helped me with my sciatica, back pain, mental stress, and ability to walk. I think it improved my problems better than medications or chiropractors have. Kristen’s herbal medicine has helped my bladder problems and chronic yeast infections.” - M.S.
