I have been going to Seitz Acupuncture for so many years that I have lost count. Dr. Seitz's treatments for my teeth grinding/jaw issues positively impacted my life ... and my dental bill. My dentist was very impressed with the results. Most recently she treated me after some cosmetic surgery. I saw surgery scars change within hours of acupuncture treatment. My surgeon was amazed. The office is located in a quaint area of Banker's Hill. It is quiet and peaceful. Dr. Seitz plays relaxing music and ensures that you are comfortable throughout the treatment. Although it is a longer drive now that my office moved from Hillcrest to University City it worth the drive. Go see Dr. Seitz. She will change your life. She changed mine.

I hadn't slept in 12 years and within only a few sessions with Dr. Seitz, she had me on natural herbs that help me sleep like a baby. I honestly never thought it would be possible. Her location is perfect and extremely tranquil. Having a session is such a peaceful escape and working with her is wonderful!

Dr. Seitz is warm, personable and caring. She's located in a charming converted two story Bankers Hill house, which makes for a private and comfortable environment. She provides her own unique intuitive insight with aromatherapy and lovely music. I found her to be knowledgeable and professional, and enjoyed how she finished the acupuncture treatment with massage. I will definitely return.

Dr. Seitz is the BEST!!! I'm so incredibly happy to have found her - she feels like a doctor, a mentor and a friend all bottled up into one. She explains what she's doing, answers my questions, and gives great guidance all with her extremely calming personality. The facilities are clean and quaint, comfortable and calming. I highly recommend her to anyone!

Five stars-Top one percent of my experiences as I reflect back over 15 years of frequently using acupuncture for health and lifestyle challenges. I so appreciated the professional manner and ability to dispense concise, thoughtful information- it's clear to me that Dr. Seitz is one of a select group of acupuncturists that brings grace and respect to patient practitioner interaction. Until I experienced Japanese style treatments, I was very confused and sensitive to the differing pulse diagnoses and corresponding instant cliched rhetoric that really didn't fit my sense of what I was experiencing at all. I am grateful for the high level treatment experience.

Dr. Seitz is WONDERFUL!!! Her skill of being able to know what her patient needs is uncanny. I can't recommend her enough!!!
