Patient Testimonials:
"Thanks so much for being such a patient listener and amazingly skilled practitioner. I literally would not be here without your healing hands. Thanks again and a thousand times over!"
"Your enthusiasm and positive energy are as important as your skill and knowledge as a traditional chinese practitioner. I can never thank you enough..."
"Thank you for all of your amazing work. You were not only an amazing practitioner, but also a therapist, confidant and friend. Thank you for making our miracle happen."
"Thank you so much for all you did. From being so flexible to calling me on your vacation. You are wonderful!"
“Kerri is an EXCELLENT acupuncturist. I have been going to her since 2003, when she worked elsewhere. I followed her to her own business in DC. If you have any doubts about acupuncture, don't! I have found the healing powers to be therapeutic and soothing. She has helped me with such issues as sinuses, back pain and overall anxiety. Where "traditional" medication failed, she came through. Is it the answer for everything", "no". But if you have though about what it might or could do for you, I would highly, highly recommend her services. She will spend time with you on your first visit, ask numerous questions to determine the best course of treatment (if you think the first thing she will do is stick needles in you without doing all of this, think again), and may even suggest that acupuncture may not be your best option...she is THAT honest.
I have been highly pleased with her service, her professionalism, her punctuality and most of all the results.”
“I've gone to Kerri for accupuncture sessions for the past three years. I truly look forward to my appointments, as she provides great insights into general health and wellness, nutrition and western medicine. It's a pleasure to be able to chat with her, and she takes more time to talk in each appointment than all of my western doctors combined. I highly recommend Kerri, she's the greatest!”
"Kerri is an amazingly intuitive acupuncturist. I would highly, highly recommend her. She listens, is thoughtful in her approach, clearly skilled, gets results and is better than average---an extraordinary practitioner."
"Kerri listens to your problem and gives you treatment recommendations that make sense. She explains acupuncture and the expected results in terms that we lay persons can comprehend. The results have always been positive and often very dramatic. I refer Kerri regularly and everyone has been very complimentary. She is also very punctual which is important to busy people.”
“Kerri saves me every year from the worst effects of seasonal allergies, and she has helped me tremendously with on-going auto-immune thyroid problems. She's a fun person but a serious medical professional. I don't hesitate for a moment to refer her to friends.”
"I had terrible foot pain after my back surgery and Ms. Westhauser relieved my pain and I am grateful."
"My shoulder pain was much improved after seeing her."
“Kerri is amazing. She is professional and listens to each of her clients needs, and takes them into consideration. Her treatments were life changing for me. I cannot recommend her enough.”
"I saw Ms. Westhauser for about six months and I noticed that my headaches were less frequent than before."
"My menopausal symptoms of heat flashing were horrible. Ms. Westhauser helped me so much....not only with acupuncture, but with nutritional help too."
"I had hip pain that I could not resolve and I didn't want to take any more pills. Ms. Westhauser changed all of that."
"We had twin girls with her help. I changed my diet and my attitude about the whole process with her help."
“I went to Kerri, because I was dealing with infertility. In addition to helping resolve the infertility, she helped me deal with the accompanying depression and anxiety. I always left Kerri's office with a real sense of well-being and peace. She has an extremely comforting and caring presence and is a wonderful listener. In addition to the interpersonal skills, she also "knows her stuff." She was very open to using her Eastern methods in conjunction with Western treatments. She gave excellent advice about lifestyle and diet that related to both reducing stress and optimizing chances for pregnancy. (Less than two months after beginning treatment with Kerri, I became pregnant.) I highly recommend Kerri for any looking for an acupuncturist for infertility or for any other concern. I have already recommended her to a number of friends.”
“I can't say enough good things about Kerri Westhauser. I went to her to use eastern medicine in support of western medical treatments. She really knows what she's doing, is always on schedule, listens to her patients, and gives very helpful advice. I have been very happy with her services and would not hesitate to recommend her.”
"I was treated by Kerri for fertility. I found her after seeing an accupuncturist from China for 2 months and feeling frustrated with the lack of communication. He never explained what he was doing, or why, in contrast to Kerry. I found her approach to be much more thorough and informative: she asked me a lot of questions about my cycle patterns, varied her treatments based on where I was in my cycle, ,and gave nutritional advice as well. I also found her style calming. I also appreciated that she did not ask me to come in when she felt it was not necessary. I am now 3 months pregnant and hoping for the best. My only caution is that her schedule gets very booked up, and I encourage patients to proactively get on her schedule ahead of time."
"I'd like to put in a plug for Kerri Westhauser, an acupuncturist with offices in Bethesda, Dupont Circle, and Falls Church. She treats a lot of infertility patients, and is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and caring. She specializes her treatment of patients depending on where they are in their cycles (including coming in on a weekend to see you if your egg retrieval is on a Monday, for example), and helped me tremendously. I got pregnant during my first IVF cycle seeing her, after two failed IVFs and two failed IUIs previously. She is genuinely interested in helping her patients in their struggles with fertility, and seeing her and hearing her words of support was kind of like having another person on "my team." I had never done acupuncture previously, and was scared of wiggling with the needles in, but she is very calming and talked to me to distract me, until I realized I was fine and could relax on my own. A true professional!"
