Ben Dierauf is a master at acupuncture treatment. I came in with lower back pain as my primary concern, and within only two days of treatment I felt tremendous relief. Ben also addressed lesser pain areas and a long standing smoking addiction, and I’m thrilled that I’m on the mend in all areas where I sought relief. I highly recommend Ben and his practice, in a very comfortable and safe environment.

I began seeing Benjamin for acupuncture treatments after he was highly recommended to me by a friend of mine. I was very interested in trying functional medicine to help me heal from some recent health hits (surgery, shoulder injury and covid). I was weak and nowhere near my normal self. Benjamin listened to my experience with great presence and sought to understand my issues. He ran a comprehensive panel of tests and provided me with a plan to address all my deficiencies and imbalances. All of this, while receiving amazing acupuncture treatments along the way (OMG, he’s amazing with acupuncture). After only a few months I am feeling like myself again and I have a plan to move toward optimal health with ongoing support. Honestly, I wish I had done this sooner and I recommend it for anyone in midlife. Find out what’s going on with your body and seek balance instead of developing a chronic condition. Benjamin is so skilled and a gift to our community.

I owe Benjamin a debt of gratitude. Recently I had an extremely painful episode of sciatica, and was referred to him by a friend. After my fourth visit I was completely free of pain. Benjamin is not only an extremely knowledgeable and experienced acupuncturist, he is compassionate, with a warm, calm demeanor. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

New patient here, with much thanks for pain relief of an acute muscle problem. I've used acupuncture in the past for low back pain, but this was a new more challenging problem. Very thankful for the kind, caring and professional treatment I received from Dr. Dierauf over two weeks and four sessions.

I've never had cupping or guasha (scraping) which definitely helped with pain relieve. Highly recommend.

Benjamin has been my acupuncturist for over 10yrs. He is a great healer, he is kind, responsive, thorough and knowledgable in acupuncture and herbal medecine. I really appreciate his continued care.

I have a few medical conditions that led me down the path of looking to acupuncture for the first time in my life. After much research, I reached out to Benjamin and he kindly corresponded to me several times before I ever walked through his door. He put my mind at ease, and I recently learned that after about 3 months of intense acupuncture therapy, some of my most troubling medical conditions are in complete remission! He is a master of his craft. I find Benjamin calm, caring, and stunningly effective. Despite only knowing him for a short while, he makes me feel like we are old trusted friends.

I have used acupuncture as a tool for health and preventive medicine for years. Benjamin is definitely one of the best acupuncturists that I have worked with. His ability to calmly and compassionately listen to me is invaluable. I can stumble into Benjamin's office feeling out of sorts, in pain, and fatigued and leave his office feeling like myself! I have been treated for PMS, adrenal fatigue, Fibromyalgia, insomnia, stress, and complications from a teratoma. With Benjamin, I have benefited from acupuncture, herbs, mineral heat lamp treatments, and cupping. If you want to feel better, don't wait, go see Benjamin!
