Review from Nancy K.
Brighton, MA
Patricia is wonderful. She is caring, compassionate, and she really listens to her patients in order to determine the best treatment. Her office is conveniently located in busy and bustling Porter Square, but it is like a little peaceful oasis inside. The treatments feel great and Patricia really helped me overcome some serious health issues.
If you are considering acupuncture treatment, run, don't walk to Patricia. -

Acupuncture Alternative Care
by Patricia Crawford
117 Elm Street
Somerville, MA 02114

First off, she offers six different services, each of which I'd love to try! These services include: Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Allergy Elimination, Jaffe-Mellor Technique, Neuro-emotional Technique,
and Electrodermal Screeing!
From the moment I was referred to her by Massage Therapy Works in Somerville, I knew it was going to be a great experience because her lovely garden has a small Buddha sitting quietly at the foot of her stairs.
When I entered, my entrance-screening consisted of questions to help her understand why I was coming, what I wanted to get out of the sessions, and how she could help- She is truly a healer!
Finally after my first, second, and third treatment, I decided that this was going to be my first "real" commitment to healing my body and taking care of myself. So ladies and gentleman if you are in need of some serious TLC, call Patricia Crawford, Licensed Acupuncturist for a consultation and Acupuncture treatment because she will help you to
feel better!!! -
Review from Lucy L.
Cambridge, MA
Patricia is the best! I was feeling really, really sick one Sunday afternoon. I felt like I was coming down with the flu. I called Patricia and she told me to come right over. I firmly believe that her treatment headed off what could have been a really nasty bug. She has treated me many times since and I am always better for it.
Her office has always been immaculately clean and Patricia herself has always been caring and concerned about my good health. -
Review from Sarah M.
Somerville, MA
I have to say Patricia Crawford is amazing. She knows what she is doing. It is nice and small she has two rooms. So she gives her attention to her clients. I have gone in for knees that would not let me walk to a back that would not let me breath. Both times I walked out not really remembering why I went in the first place because my pain disappeared. She is very friendly and helpful. I would and do recommend her. If you not sure if acupuncture is right for you just give a call and she will answer ALL your questions. She is very accommodating. Please call or go in if you are in the area. She is right across from porter shopping area. Take the red line or the 87 bus. It does not hurt to ask.
