What a wonderful wellness center. Jessica Fritz is my doctor, and Im pleased to write that she has helped me relieve pain and anxiety. Her recommendations for herbal therapy and self care have also served me well.

I have been treated by Dr. Fritz for several years for a variety of complaints. She is accepting of my Vegetarian lifestyle unlike some Western physicians. She is aware of my aversion to chemical dugs and her herbal remedies and tinctures have solved my sleep and allergy issues. Her thoughtful demeanor is reassuring and I always feel better after her consultation and treatment.

Dr. Smith was amazing. We came to see her so she could treat our son for lower back pain and mental clarity. She was able to identify and explain the process. She made our 16 y/o son comfortable every step of the way. My son cant wait to come back. He feels better already. Will become a routine in overall well-being. Thank you

I started going to Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness about 5 months ago because I wanted to be proactive about treating my carpal tunnel. I work as a social media manager, so I am constantly typing and using my hands. Through my research I found that acupuncture can help with carpal tunnel symptoms so I gave it a shot...with some skepticism. To my surprise, I started feeling improvements in my wrists and fingers after the second or third treatment. I have been going back since. Dr. Amanda is super friendly and informative and always makes sure my experience is comfortable.

Ive been receiving acupuncture treatments here since March 2021. Started for knee pain and carpal tunnel pain on Port and starboard sides. Added seasonal allergies and menopausal hot flushes. Knee pain is improving. Rarely use either wrist brace. have not had a pm hot flush in almost 30 days. Uninterrupted sleep is wonderful. Staff is courteous and professional. Treatment rooms including the head pillow super comfy. Punctual, accommodating, and customer service oriented. Magnolia Clear Sinus herbal product works for my allergies without the drowsiness. Highly recommend Drs. Carter and Spafford and Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture. Youll be glad you were treated here.

Dr. Amanda Carter is Amazing! Feeling great after Acupuncture & Cupping as soon as I started to get up from the table. I’ve suffered from neck and back pain for years and this is the first Acupuncture & cupping treatment that had such an impact so quickly! Best acupuncture physician!

Dr. Frtiz has helped me with my pain and to get more balanced. Her herbal therapies are awesome and I feel better than ever!

I have been suffering from pain in my shoulder, back, and ankle for years. Many surgeries later the pain was still bothering me so I decided to begin acupuncture and cupping treatments to address my pain. Dr. Smith has done an exceptional job treating the specific areas I mentioned above. She took the time to ask questions pertaining to my issues and created a treatment plan unique to me. Dr. Smith has allowed me to return to my hobbies and everyday life without having to think about my pain every minute of every day while also providing an exceptional decorum during my assessment and treatment. I highly recommend this doctor to anyone looking to get away from pain management programs, both mental and physical. I will continue to have my treatments for the long-term future. Thank you Dr. Smith.

I’ve been going for close to 2 years now to treat my anxiety, and I have nothing but good things to say about this place! Acupuncturists are super easy to talk to and create a calming environment.

When you walk in, the atmosphere is so peaceful and tranquil. It doesnt feel like a doctors office. Everyone Ive met there was so informative and nice. The office itself is so clean and inviting. They offer a great selection of holistic wellness. Highly recommend. 💕

I have been seeing Dr. Amanda Carter for almost 2 years. When I started looking for something to help my neck and back pain that has been an issue for years and I was literally desperate for some relief. I started with the package for injury and went every week for 7 weeks and then weaned off to a once a month maintenance. I get the acupuncture and cupping session. This is the best money I’ve ever spent and I only wish I had this done years ago. Amanda is kind and thoughtful. Her expertise has help me lead a more fulfilled life and enjoy my hobbies! I can go in if I have a need for other things such as stress, anxiety and/or insomnia or I need some relief. Literally her door is always open and her exact words are “I’ll fix it! Love those words. If you’ve never tried acupuncture or cupping you should definitely try it and do yourself a favor and trust Amanda. She will listen to your needs. If life gets crazy or I push myself to far guess what no worries my appointment with Amanda is soon! Love her.

At a young age, I normalized a large amount of anxiety. (Lots of us have!) Amanda saw this and intuitively and precisely needled the optimal acupoints on my body. While laying there, I grounded, calmed and eventually relieved of years of pent-up stress. Ive had good acupuncture before and Amandas treatment showed me a new level of quality and results. I want to call her magic, but Ill just call her love.

I highly recommend this place. If you need treatment come and give them a visit. They are wonderful!!! Very professional and caring. It has really helped me with all my issues.

I used to be afraid of the concept of acupuncture. Then one day I watched someone get a treatment and decided I needed to try it. Not only am I thrilled with the results but I am hooked. The best part about it is it works great as a Maintenance treatment but is also amazing when something hits suddenly. Last week I slept funny and couldn’t turn my head. I saw Dr Smith mid day and when then treatment was done I was 90% better. 100% by the next morning. Simply amazing. In addition the staff at Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness are friendly and inviting and made me feel right at home.

Dr. Carter was amazing! I had my first acupuncture and cupping appointment and I already booked the next two! I feel better already. I am curious and excited about the potential benefits these treatments will bring to reduce my pain and stress.

I love this place. Dr. Smith’s professionalism and radiant positivity would be enough to make me look forward to each visit but these things are coupled with her knowledge of my ailing conditions and precision in which she promotes healing. I have informed her that she is a miracle worker and she has rid me of some things that I have been dealing with for at least a decade. I highly recommend if you are on a journey to or just want to maintain healing and well-being

I went to Lakewood Ranch acupuncture to try out another alternative for overall health and wellness. I meant Adrianne Smith she is kind and very patient with you while she is listening to you about your health and giving you different alternatives in your journey to wellness and overall health. I’ve been going here for a couple of months, and Im thoroughly enjoying it. I recommend trying it out. I wish everyone the best for in your journey to wellness and health.

I was referred to this business by one of my co workers. I love the cleanliness and the friendly workers there. Dr. Smith is excellent at her job. She has a plethora of knowledge when it comes to this field. She’s a kind and lovable person and I AKWSYS look forward to her greeting me at the door with her beautiful smile. I feel like a celebrity when I’m in her care. The only drawback is...she always want to entice me to get that B12 injection...I love ❤️ her , but I’m staying away from that 😊! I live going there!

Dr. Russo is an amazing acupuncturist. I had the best results seeing him. His technic and knowledge of the field is great, barely felt the needles. Besides his effective pain free acupuncture treatments, he is the one to go to if you would like to add herbs and supplements to your treatment protocol. I experienced the best results seeing him, I am in my best health I have ever been. I am forever grateful.

I love love going to acupuncture with Adrian. I suffer from anxiety and this acupuncture helps me immensely! I go twice a week and it really helps keep me stay calm and functioning like a normal person! Try it the atmosphere is calming and the doctors are so nice and it really works. Almost a miracle.

Im fairly new to acupuncture & cupping. I wish I had discovered the benefits long ago. The results have been amazing. My back stiffness and minor pains are gone. Im more relaxed than ever and have been sleeping great. Dr Carter and her staff are so professional and easy going. I would recommend Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture to anyone who is looking for a new way to treat, heal, and balance your body, mind, and soul. ♥️LRA

Dr. Smith has treated both my daughter & me. She is kind, understanding and explains the process as you go. We both feel great! The office is calming and clean. Would highly recommend!!

What an amazing place to go! Very relaxing and calming. You immediately feel stress relief the minute you walk into the room. Just all around good vibes!

Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness definitely deserves a 5 star review or more. Everyone there is very welcoming and professional. They all excel at their jobs. I always leave the office more relaxed and calm then when I walked in. I look forward to my visit every time I go. If you are looking for a place to get acupuncture I definitely recommend Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness!

Fantastic place and staff !!! Very happy I found this place.

LWR Acupuncture has helped me tremendously! I have Fibromyalgia extremely bad and coming here has made the world of a difference for me. I recommend LWR Acupuncture for anyone and everyone experiencing any kind of pain. I had never tried Acupuncture prior to this and now I cannot live without it. The staff is extremely kind as well. I know that when I come I am always treated with the upmost kindness. Thank you LWR Acupuncture for all that you do! You all are the BEST!

Dr. Smith and her team are well equipped to handle any ailment you may be experiencing. She is amazing! I had never had cupping or acupuncture and was facing removal of my gallbladder. Happy to say I still have my gallbladder and no issues with it.. Only problem is I love the treatments so much that I just want to keep coming back for more. Thank you for all you have done. Your office and team rock!

If you have ever thought about acupuncture and cupping, just take the plunge and DO IT!! It is a wonderful experience that you NEED in your life. You immediately feel calmer when you walk inside. It’s a very nice office and so clean. I was having many issues with anxiety, stress, depression and neck/back problems. They have truly lessened so much because of Dr. Smith. She has been so wonderful to me and helped me more than I could’ve imagined. Dr. Smith is very knowledgeable, caring, calming, gentle, a great listener and wants to help you feel your very best. I’m so very thankful to have found Dr. Smith!! Thank you so much for helping me get my life back on track. I’m feeling really good and excited to begin a brand new school year with my 1st graders. Don’t hesitate ~ make your appointment today with Dr. Smith. I know you’ll love it as much as I do!!

These ladies are the absolute best!! Very professional, friendly, clean and relaxing! Doctors offices are famous for having people wait. These ladies have their scheduling perfected! No wait time! I suffer with Migraines and Dr. Carter has helped reduce them. It’s the best thing to ease your stress levels.

Best place to go for acupuncture. Very professional and knowledgeable. Treatments are very helpful for many different conditions. You will feel welcomed the minute you call and walk in to the office. Highly recommended.

The facility was relaxing and extremely clean. Dr Smith is professional and personable. I felt that I had her full attention while she worked with me and she cared about my progress. I was seen at my appointment time and never felt rushed during the visit. My questions were answered fully. I highly recommend the practice. Rae Levene

The staff at Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture are incredible. They are professional, kind and are always concerned for the physical & mental wellness of their clients. Dr. Carter is fantastic and I always, always feel better & sleep better after a visit with her.

Each time I walk into the office, I feel a sense of peace and tranquillity. It is very clean and welcoming. Amanda has helped me with many different problem areas. She is very professional, compassionate, understanding, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture!

Dr. Smith deserves 10 stars!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️She is not only caring but extremely knowledgeable with getting the help our daughter needed to find relief when it came to her constant stomach pain. This was our first experience with acupuncture and it comes out to be the best thing we could have done to help our 11 year old daughter from suffering with pain.We spent over a year in and out of ER’s and even admitted to several different hospitals. We saw two different GI Drs and were given many different medications to try and NOTHING seemed to help her. If anything all was making her worse off. The pain many days was off the charts. It broke my heart watching my daughter suffer and nothing seemed to help.One day I came across Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture online and started reading all the GREAT reviews. We decided to give it a try and within the first few visits started seeing improvement. The atmosphere here is super clean and relaxing as soon as you walk through the door. We just finished 10 sessions and I could honestly say I have my confident daughter back like she was over a year ago. Eating and acting like a normal kid again!We will be continuing with Dr. Smith and are truly BLESSED 🙏🏻 to have found this wonderful place!Obviously we would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Smith!

I have suffered foot pain for most of my life. I have high arches and stretched tendons in my feet coupled with a mild birth defect that has made long walks and standing all day difficult to say the least. Then I decided to try some focused acupuncture on my feet. 5-6 weeks in I cant even begin to tell you what a difference it has made in my day to day ability to walk comfortably. Dr. Adrianne Smith has been a blessing. Her knowledge of Eastern medicine and ability to target the pain areas are beyond amazing. Until I began these treatments, my only other option was a surgical procedure where an orthopedic surgeon wanted to break my foot, heal, and toes to cut and reset the ligaments in my feet. I am SO happy to say I rejected that option and went with the now proven and relaxing option of acupuncture at Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness. I even used to wear a brace on my right foot for added support and that has ended. All I do on my end is rest my bad foot on a heating pad a few times a week at her suggestion. So if you thought acupuncture was just to treat your head, neck and back, think again.

Great acupuncture place. They are professionals, they listen to your needs and work with you. Clean place and I just love going there on every single appointment. If you are looking for an acupuncture place, this is where you need to go.

I have been going to Dr.Smith for a year now and cant thank her enough for all she done. I came with a lot af stress and anxiety which she manages to take away every time. I was skeptical at first about acupuncture but now I couldnt imagine not having my bimonthly visits. This experience has really changed my life.

I have been seeing Dr. Carter and Dr. Spafford for nearly a year now and couldnt be happier with the service I have received. They are both extremely kind and caring individuals who actually care about your well being and whats going on in your life. They go above and beyond the standard of care. I always leave there feeling relaxed and happy! Thank you!

For my first time ever I tried it and I have scheduled my next appointment already. This was an amazing experience they also asked about my medical background and helped me with suggestions for my issue. Can’t wait to go back next week and I’m telling a friend!!!!

I have been going to acupuncture for the past few years with Dr. Carter. It is an amazing experience, as it is so relaxing and healing. I originally went for my ankle injury from running which was healed pretty quickly. If you have any stress or anxiety then you are going to love it. I look forward to every treatment and it helps me in so many ways. The B-12 shot gives me energy as well.

Tranquility abounds at LWR Acupuncture and Wellness beginning when you enter their establishment. The trickling sounds of water in a fountain and the smell of essentials from a diffuser allows you to relax and know that healing awaits. Professional. Clean. Relaxing. Healing.

If you’re looking for an amazing acupuncturist and just person altogether then Amanda is your girl! She is a very passionate and loving person who will give you 100% of her heart and healing. We have built a very close relationship over the years and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for an acupuncturist.

The office is peaceful and very clean. The staff is both professional and knowledgeable. Treatment is personalized and detailed. I was so impressed I could not wait for my next appointment. Highly recommend Amanda Carter.

Dr. Smith is absolutely wonderful. She provides such a warm and comfortable experience! She has a great memory and ALWAYS remembers the issues I tell her about. After our sessions, I have felt immediate relief with my lower back pain and TMJ. She isn’t shy to share knowledge about what she is doing and how it works. I truly look forward to going and am always happy when I leave!

Dr. Amanda Carter is amazing! She’s knowledgeable and very patient. I look forward to my appointments and always feel better after my session.

I have been a patient of Dr. Carters for a little over a year now. My bi-weekly appointment is a time of relaxation I truly look forward to. Dr Carter remembers what we discuss and where we left off. Their suite is easily accessible, clean, and well kept. I highly recommend the cupping treatment - you will notice a difference almost immediately.

Dr. Amanda is fabulous!! The office atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. She provides treatments for a wide variety of conditions. She has cured my sinus infection in one or two treatments. Dr. Amanda has really helped me with my stress, gastrointestinal, and autoimmune problems.

Dr. Fred Russo was amazing. I suffer from plantar fasciitis as well as arthritis in both wrists. He treated both, which relieved the pain and gave me tips to help at home. I can’t wait to go back for my next treatment!

We were so lucky to have found Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness for our 15 year old daughter! We wanted to take a more natural approach to treat her chronic fatigue syndrome and are so pleased with the results. Dr. Courtney is so sincere and full of wisdom! This experience has truly been life changing for us! Highly recommend!!

I highly recommend LWR Acupuncture. Dr. Carter and her staff are knowledgeable in all areas of Chinese medicine. The second you walk in the front door your senses will be filled with relaxing scents, your body surrounded by chakra crystals and healing plants, and eyes relaxed by calming earthly tones along with the sounds of Tibetan and crystal singing bowls. Each Doctor is unique and special in their own way offering different services and advice on self-care, nutrition, and holistic well-being. 💯

Dr. Smith is brilliant!! She is so friendly and immediately puts you at ease with her calming demeanor. Dr. Smith is an intuitive listener and was able to pin point each of my needs, some that I wasn’t even aware of. Her treatment was extremely effective and I highly recommend her and her services.

Dr. Smith treated me with the best care. She was caring and gentle with all procedures. You can tell that your health and happiness is her number 1 priority. I recommend her to all my friends and family.

Dr. Spafford has been great. I go for acupuncture weekly and I find it to be very helpful. Everyone is so friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness.

I highly recommend Dr Fred Russo. He got my stressed and low-functioning digestive and nervous system back in order. Thank you

Dr. Spafford is by far one of the most caring doctors I’ve ever seen. Not only does she provide me with superior service, she actually listens to my concerns and addresses them, not matter how minor. I feel that I get personal attention every time I visit the office. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs acupuncture. You will not be disappointed!

Im beyond happy with Dr. Amanda Carter! I’m so glad that I found her. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. She’s very knowledgeable and educates her patients and she really pinpoints what needs to be the focus for that particular session. Her acupuncture treatments have helped decrease my stress level immensely. Her office is very soothing and every session I’ve had has really calmed me down and she always has my “shamans” music ready for me! I feel completely relaxed when I leave. I highly recommend Dr. Carter.

Fantastic...Im new to acupuncture and these physicians are wonderful. Courtney is terrific and has been sooooo helpful. She truly listens to you, and by listening she knows exactly how to best treat what you need. Ive started going and havent stopped. The office is professional, welcoming, and serene...and Courtney and Amanda are both amazing.

Dr Carter is a great Acupuncturist she is very knowledgeable and does an amazing job my wrist got sprain/fractured from a car accident. Well she got my wrist back stronger than ever and she always listens and makes you feel comfortable. Her suites are very clean,stress free and relaxing I enjoy my time there. I totally recommend her to everyone!!

After years of fighting an infection and tired of trying new medications and treatments my last hope was acupuncture and herbal medicine. Dr. Adrianne Smith was absolutely phenomenal! She was so kind, understanding, and present when I was opening up about my struggle. After couple treatments and following a new diet plan recommended by Dr. Smith I started seeing changes! Finally Im healed!Im so grateful, I cant thank Dr. Smith enough for all that she has done for me!

My family has been coming to Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness for over a year. Experienced and friendly staff. The treatments have been helpful in relieving muscle pain and soreness. I highly recommend.

What an amazing place here! I can’t speak highly enough about the excellent care and professionalism of Dr. Amanda Carter and Dr. Courtney. Such kind people and I always feel better after leaving here. I get really bad neck pain and migraines and they have helped this tremendously for me. I was a little scared to try acupuncture because I thought it would hurt but I was pleasantly surprised how gentle it is and how relaxed I always feel. I even fell asleep! The atmosphere is also very clean, relaxing and healing too. Thanks so much!

I started acupuncture treatments at Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture a couple of years ago after hearing about a friends success combating migraines. I recently was struggling to kick a virus and the acupuncture and cupping treatment provided instant improvement. Dr. Courtney Spafford listens and seeks out the best treatment options for whatever challenge I am facing. I am truly amazed by the results and thankful for the genuine attentiveness to wellness. Supplement recommendations are also provided if desired but there is no pressure to purchase anything from their office. I love the positive environment - having a knowledgeable resource to living healthfully and happily.

I have been going to see Courtney for about eight months and I love her. She is caring and passionate about what she does. She knows what you need. I am very grateful for all that she has done to make me feel better.

Dr. Courtney Spafford is an excellent practitioner, she is personable and knows a whole spectrum of herbs, supplements, cupping and the best acupuncturist I have seen. I highly recommend her and this practice, the care and experience I received was top notch. You will be very impressed with Dr. Courtney and her level of expertise.

I have had CHRONIC shoulder pain since a sleeping injury in 2014. I have paid thousands in treatment with massage and other remedies and still the inflammation never went away. After just a few acupuncture visits I have noticed a tremendous healing take place. I can go days now with zero inflammation in that area. I wish I started acupuncture 5 years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain, stress and money.

I have Dr Russo treat me for 20 years he has a wonderful healing ability to know exactly what I needed. Thank you Dr Russo , you are the best, the pain has not been back since.

Dr. Smith has been a wonderful help in my healthcare, she is a very highly trained practitioner with a lot of knowledge about pain relief. She really pays attention to the patients concerns and has a very calming demeanor. I actually look forward to visiting the office and always leave feeling relieved and relaxed. I highly recommend this office!

Dr. Amanda Carter is absolutely wonderful, very knowledgeable, kind and caring. She really listens and cares about your well being. The office is a very calming environment, they treat many conditions. I highly recommend Dr. Carter & her practice!

Dr. Dean does an amazing job. Before I came in I was scared of needles and after one needle I loved it! He is very gentle and gets the job done well. I am 11 and he was very kind and good with me. Over all my experience was awesome! I definitely recommend getting acupuncture from Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness.

I highly recommend this practice! As a healthcare practitioner, I am very discerning with whom I trust my care. Dr. Carter is an expert in her craft and I feel wonderful every time I come in for a treatment. She explains to me the science and philosophy of the treatments rendered when I ask, and I truly appreciate learning. Also, the atmosphere of this practice is extremely serene, relaxing, and professional - a true sanctuary for wellness!

Dr.Smith is an excellent practitioner, she is caring and listens. I have been to several DOMs and no one compares to her level of skill and passion. Her knowledge of herbs and acupuncture makes her well rounded and able to approach my issues in multiple ways.

Dr. Smith has been treating me for over a year now. I initially came to her because of low back pain and within a couple of weeks I was feeling all better. I continued to go her because she was also helping me deal with school and work stress that was affecting my sleep. I now sleep better than I have in years. I have since moved out of state but when I visit, I make sure to go see her. I trust her with all of my needs and would recommend her to everyone!

On Thursday December 12, 2019 I awoke with a horrible sinus infection and migraine. I called and talked to a very companionate person who understood my pain, I was booked for an appointment that very evening!! I’m so glad that I found Dr. Smith. She was so sweet and thoughtful. I walked out feeling so much better. If your thinking about acupuncture don’t hesitate to try them !!Lisa MohlerParrish

I began seeing LWR Acupuncture for shoulder and back pain. The services provided have been nothing less than stellar! I cannot imagine living life without acupuncture and cupping. When I leave, I am pain free and relaxed. Thank you Dr. Carter for being amazing!

Dr. Amanda Carter, AP is a whip-smart physician I was lucky enough to study with and be treated by throughout my own acupuncture schooling. Amanda is compassionate, knowledgeable and confident: exactly the type of person I want inserting needles. Amanda and Matt are the obvious choice for Lakewood- area acupuncture physicians: you will not receive their level of care and camaraderie anywhere else.

Excellent, Excellent! Dr. Dean is very professional and personable. He educates while treating you. I felt comfortable with Dr. Dean and his staff the very first visit.He makes you feel like you are the only patient he has to take care of. I definitely felt better after his treatment.

Dr. Russo is very caring. He listened to my concerns and was able to help with my pain.

It is an awe-inspiring thing to meet a person who is doing the thing he was born to do in this world. It is even more awe-inspiring when that person uses his gifts to improve others lives. Dr. Dean is that person. He is a natural born healer who has improved his skills with intensive training. And, on top of that, he is a genuinely caring and good person. Dr. Dean has an arsenal of skills that have taken me from sleeping 3 hours nightly to sleeping 6 or 7 hours a night, he has helped my dry eyes and my plantar fasciitis, and he has given me serious help as I have given up sugar in my life. I have enthusiastically recommended him to family and friends who love him as much as I do. Dr. Dean is a blessing; I am so thankful to have met him.

Because she listened carefully to my full explanation of issues in my life, Dr. Adrianne Smith was able to see an emotional component that my MD had not. Her treatments made a big difference in regaining my health.

The first time I went I couldn’t move my neck. Had gone to the Chiro and massage with zero results. After one treatment with needles and cupping, I could move without problem. Ever since then, I have felt so much better and look forward to my treatment with Dr. Carter.

Doctor Smith has been great and has been able to help me. All the Doctors are very nice and welcoming.

Dr. Carter is caring and compassionate. She listens and always works toward what is best for your overall health. You will be thrilled with your results. I can’t imagine not having her as a part of my healthcare team!!

The acupuncturists here are great! I have recommended all my friends and family to go here and they have all had great results! They are very thorough and extremely knowledgeable in their field of medicine.

I have known Dr. Carter since she was a student and personally oversaw much of her education. She was a phenomenal student and is now a sophisticated practitioner. She is my go-to physician when I am in pain because she works swiftly, compassionately and with a deep knowledge of both Eastern and Western medicine.Dr. Jonathan D. Wald, AP(Former Academic Dean, East West College of Natural Medicine)

Acupuncture has helped my chronic migraines. Dr. Dean listens and REMEMBERS what we have discussed. He has provided me with a wealth of knowledge. I definitely recommend.

Dr. Amanda Carter is extremely professional, yet shows kindness and compassion at every turn of my treatment. Since beginning receiving acupuncture with Dr. Carter, I have been relieved of so many different ailments! My energy is so much greater; my extreme anxiety is almost non existent; chronic migraines have disappeared, and I have an overall sense of peace and well-being. I only wish that I found Dr.Carter sooner, but know now that treatment from her will be an integral part of my life. I cannot recommend her and her practice enough!! Coming to Dr. Carter was the best medical decision I have ever made!

I am a 33 year old female who wasn’t looking for anything particular when I first arrived at the doors of this Acupunture office. I had heard of acupuncture several times for stress relief among other benefits, so I figured I would give it a try. Dr. Carter was so welcoming and such a joy to speak with. The office is ran so efficient. I receive a text message reminding of my appt the day before. I never have to wait when I arrive, they always take me right back and get me started. The office is so inviting with a lovely fountain with trickling water and essential oils diffusing. This alone will calm a stressed person.My first appointment was full of treatments for stress reduction, low energy, low back pain and shoulder pain. I also received cupping and a B-12 injection. I return every two weeks now ! I love how It makes me feel.Since I’ve been getting regular treatments I don’t experience many highs and lows with stress anymore my energy is great and my back pain is non existent.

I am had inner ear symptoms since February of this year. I had been putting off going to the ear nose and throat doctor because the symptoms came and went, scheduling and fear. After the first acupuncture treatment I notice a small difference. After the second, life became busy and I did not pay attention. Until one day it hit me, my dizziness in the morning us gone and a clogging sensation is gone too. I was hesitant but thrilled. I asked myself what has been different. Acupuncture. I have had 3 sessions in total. My balance, and clogging sensation is still at bay. I even had a cold, which tends to bring on the symptoms. I am very thankful 💕

Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness is amazing. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The treatments I receive have made such a difference for me. With the help of Dr. Carter and her staff, I’m living my best, healthiest life.

I tried acupuncture for the first time and was shocked that it did not hurt at all. Dr. Adrianne Smith walked me through the process in great detail and listened to my concerns attentively. I came in with severe neck pain and walked out the first treatment almost completely relieved! I would recommend Dr. Smith to anyone suffering from pain.

Lucky me to have found Dr. Amanda Carter at LWR Acupuncture. I was skeptical of its benefits but when traditional medicine failed me I opted to try this approach. It has been a wonderful experience, it has alleviated my pain symptoms, cleared my head, and allowed me to sleep well at night. Dr. Carter is kind and caring and can sympathize with the mentally draining effect of chronic pain. The office environment is clean and welcoming, and I look forward to my visits. Do not be afraid of the needles! I highly recommend this practice.

I have been a patient of Dr Carter’s for over 2 years. She has helped me through some very hard times In my journey to discovering my autoimmune issues. She goes above and beyond to help each patient as an individual and varies treatments in occirdance with needs. I depend on her to do away with my night sweats and my many aches and pains. I also credit her with helping me sleep much better. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed. I have referred many people and they all agree!

Take the time and do something for yourself by visiting Dr. Courtney. You will not want to leave.

I have been seeing Dr. Carter for the past 2 years. She is very knowledgeable and extremely professional. She treats all of my healthcare needs. She uses very thin needles. No discomfort! I am so relaxed when I leave her office that it takes effort to drive home.

As someone who physically works for a living, Dr. Carters homeopathic treatments cure my ailments in a safe, natural and fast manor. Its refreshing to know a doctor that is not pushing drugs and synthetics down my throat to get rid of pain. Thank you for all your help and gentle care!

Dr. Dean is a master of Zen. He listens, truly cares, and it is amazing how he is able to treat aches and pains of the body with relaxing, mind-clearing techniques. Dr. Dean gives wellness a whole new meaning with results I actually feel - improving my quality of life at home, at work, and my game on the court and on the courses. Thank you Dr. Dean and Lakewood Ranch Acupuncture and Wellness.

When I first came to see Dr. Carter my appetite was out of control and I was very low in energy. Her ear acupuncture protocol cut my appetite in half and now I have to force myself to eat. Every time I saw her she gave me be complex injections for fatigue and on my energy continues to climb and is better every week. She is kind caring, compassionate, and ethical. I highly recommend her!!

I have autism and very bad anxiety. Dr. Carters treatment helped me very much. I felt so relieved after receiving my acupuncture treatment. Thank you so much Dr. Carter.

Dr. Spafford is amazing! She really listens and remembers what is going on with me from visit to visit. She addresses my issues with care and concern. I highly recommend her!

This place is amazing! The doctors are knowledgeable, professional, caring and accommodating. I highly recommend!
