What Our Clients Are Saying

"Linda is a caring professional who combines the many facets of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture to create results. My work with her helped me avoid surgery. I recommend her whenever I can."
- Cynthia V. Mitchell, M.Ed., Business Mentor and Health Advocate

"In the past I was so accustomed to visiting the physician’s office if I had an ailment, until I had some devastating experiences with feeling as though I was just a test for prescription drugs. I had always been very skeptical of trying anything outside of the box when it came to health until someone recommended Acupuncture. In November of 2014 I decided to give Acupuncture a try so I went to Linda Marino for my migraine headache, which I have had for 8 years now. I was really nervous about having needles in my skin, but the feeling was amazing, almost like you were floating. I felt so relaxed and actually fell asleep during my treatment! After that experience I have been for treatments a dozen times for different aches and pains, such as low back, shoulder pain, and TMJ. I believe in Acupuncture completely and recommend that everybody tries it at least once for a great alternative."
- Sandy M., Goodyear, Arizona

"Like most people, I relied on western medicine (drugs to mask a problem and more drugs to mask the first drugs) all of my life. After dealing with the pain (and drug side effects) from a ruptured disk for over two years, I decided to try something different. Ms. Marino is a very professional, caring and dedicated individual that takes the time to understand your personal problems. She makes you feel like you are the only patient she sees. And the results are amazing, in just a few visits, the discomfort I had lived with was gone. After only two visits, my neck pain was gone. I have more energy and feel better than I have in several years thanks to Dr. Marino. I highly recommend to everyone that they find out first hand, how Linda Marino can help them."
- Esther S., Goodyear, Arizona

In 1982 I developed severe sciatic pain and I was introduced to acupuncture. The pain was very limiting and prevented me from conducting my daily activities. It also made it difficult to sit, stand and get in and out of a car. I developed this condition for unknown reasons and initially sought treatment using conventional medicine. I received several nerve blocks, cortisone injections, took anti-inflammatories, and had regular massages. I found myself constantly going to doctors to find a solution to alleviate the pain, but nothing helped long term. Finally after 6-8 months of conventional treatment I inquired about acupuncture for pain management and went for my initial treatment. After the first acupuncture treatment I noticed changes taking place that were lasting. I began going twice a week for a few weeks and was please to find my symptoms were subsiding without any flare-ups. I continued the treatment until all my pain was totally gone. Then shortly thereafter, I developed arthritis in my toes making it difficult to walk. I immediately went for an acupuncture treatment and within a couple of treatments the pain was completely gone. It has now been 33 years, pain-free and neither of these conditions have reoccurred since.

In 1992, I became chemically sensitive and was unable to leave my house without implementing extraordinary measures for a 6 month period. Conventional medicine gave me a diagnosis of “Environmental Chemical Sensitivity”, and was able to make minute changes in my condition using allergy injections and homeopathic remedies. However, I was unable to leave my home with ease until I saw an acupuncturist who treated me with acupuncture, nutritional supplements and herbal remedies. From that point on, I knew that in order for me to have any quality of life, I would have to use acupuncture and natural medicine the rest of my life. Instead of relying on others for help, I decided to rely on myself and become educated in natural medicine. When I was finally able to leave my home with ease, and tolerate the environment outside the home and I began to feel healthier and whole again, I enrolled in a 4 year program to seek a degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. I vowed that my mission in life would be to help others to obtain a better quality of life and regain their health.

Since I have experienced firsthand the difficulties and pitfalls in obtaining answers for severe health conditions that are not easily treated or even diagnosed, I have made it my priority to provide patients with the best and most comprehensive care possible.

I would love to help you and your loved ones get the care that you need. Call us to schedule your first consultation.
