William is the Best! Its amazing what happens to my body after a little needling session.Once I came in head held low and actually left with a spring in my step. He also makes great salves that work better and smell better than most pain relievers.

Very creepy vibes from my first acupuncture experience. From not leaving the room while I undressed, strange touching of my toes before leaving the room, in a very unprofessional looking room that looked like his back little office; his computer desk, tons of boxes, books, & other junk. The walls are very thin, so as you are trying to relax to his movie soundtrack playlist... You can hear the office neighbors chatting away. Trying to manipulate you by scheduling more visits without even asking you. Then get hostile when asking to bill your insurance, wants your cash right after the visit because you agreed to his price over the phone when he quoted you. Stay far away from William Duarte, this guy is a very unprofessional Creep!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Duarte (William) for over two years and have received services for mainly acupuncture, but also, counseling, massage and supplements. William truly has a gift and is incredibly tuned in to what my body is feeling and needs. As much as that, William puts his care for his patients above all else and I feel that every time I go there. I consider him a friend and valuable component to my health, and I am very grateful to have found him.

I have not been to Kirkland Whole Life Clinic, but I have practiced yoga under the direction of Sonia Weirich, so this is an endorsement of Sonia as a practitioner at the Kirkland Whole Life Clinic. Sonia is a very gifted yoga instructor. Her focus on the breath has been fundamental in shaping my own yoga practice. Sonia offers insightful meditations and focuses for each practice that are centered around aspects of the breath and parts of the body. These meditations can be taken off the mat and into daily life. (I often found myself thinking about these meditations for weeks after the actual practice.) Sonias instruction has helped me to find peace and calm both on and off of the mat. I have recently moved away from the Seattle area, and I am very sad that I cant practice with Sonia any more. Having been to numerous yoga studios in the Seattle area and beyond, I can say with confidence that Sonia is one of the best instructors out there for students or clients seeking a whole person approach to the practice of yoga.

When I walked in I was in a lot of pain in my neck and shoulder making breathing and moving difficult. Dr. Duarte was very attentive was able to isolate what the issue was and with some targeted massage, acupuncture (first time for me) and stretching, I left feeling so much better - like the pain was never there. I highly recommend this place-easy to find easy to park.

I dont even know where to begin on how satisfied I am with the services I received at Kirkland Whole Life Clinic. I had been suffering from Sciatica for over a week and when all attempts of my traditional medicating and waiting it out failed, I contacted Whole Life Clinic and Im so glad I did. Shannon, the office manager, was very educated on the services William (Dr. Duarte) provides and he got me in right away! I had never tried acupuncture before, but was desperate and hopeful for relief. William went over everything with me and walked me through every step and made me feel so comfortable. He made it very clear he was here to help me and never tried to sell me on anything or make me buy unreasonable/affordable package deals or anything. He even mentioned he hoped he wouldnt see me frequently, because then that meant I was doing better. His goal was to get me back on track and then just come in for maintenance appointments. Two days after my first visit, for the first time in almost two weeks I didnt wake up in excruciating pain. After the 2nd appointment I could finally walk! I am such a believer Im telling everyone I know that suffers from back/nerve pain to try this out! If you are afraid to go because of the scary word needles, dont be - I was so relaxed I actually fell asleep! I am so glad I found Kirkland Whole Life Clinic and will be forever grateful for them giving my quality of life back!

I have been a patient of Dr Duarte for almost three years now following a car accident and after trying MANY physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors and several doctors of allopathic and naturopathic medicine, still in pain, only to then be referred to Dr Duarte for Acupuncture and I couldnt be happier! He is compassionate, humble, humorous and truly has the well being of the patient in mind, not the typical doc office experience. Plus the treatment ACTUALLY works. Very happy with the results and am still coming for treatments even though my PIP claim has ended because it works for so many things! Thank you so much!! Couldnt be happier with the service

For years I have been dealing with chronic neck and shoulder pain as well as low back/hip pain resulting from stress and carrying around two heavy kids. I am a believer in yoga and have been practicing yoga for years mainly as an aid to relieve stress and help me relax, but also as a means to build strength and flexibility. Weekly yoga sessions with Sonia were helping me maintain a sense of well-being, but my neck and shoulder and low back/hip pain persisted. Seeking other help, I enrolled a monthly deep tissue massage program with Lindsey. These monthly massages provided me with relief from my pain, but the pain would always come back. Seeking additional help, I began to see Dr.Duarte for acupuncture on a bi-weekly basis. I don’t know what the magic solution was, but I am now pain free. I now no longer do yoga, get massages or acupuncture for pain relief, but as tools to facilitate a balanced state of well-being. Thank You Kirkland Whole Life Clinic practitioners!

I went to Kirkland Whole Life Clinic on the recommendation of my brother who goes to Dr. William Duarte for acupuncture. William has helped my brother a lot with his chemo side effects. I went to William to help with stress and tension. He is extremely knowledgable (which makes sense since hems been doing this for 35 years!) and after one session my stress headaches had gone away. My second session was probably the most relaxed Ive been in a long time. Im really looking forward to my next session.Not only is William great, the entire staff is kind and knowledgeable. I whole heartedly recommend Kirkland Whole Life Clinic.

I was struggling for months with a severe flare-up of sciatic hip, leg and foot pain caused by inflamed vertebrae in the lumbar spine. My PT suggested I try acupuncture. I researched local providers and was impressed with Dr. Zangs credentials. I could not be happier that I chose ACI Clinic and gave this a try. After the first treatment, much to my surprise and delight, my pain level decreased significantly, so I decided to try a series of treatments over the next month. At the end of the month, my sciatic pain is so negligible that I barely know anythings amiss. Even my early morning pain has disappeared, which I never expected. Also, my previously numb lower leg has regained nearly normal sensation. My experience with Dr. Zang has far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend the ACI Clinic.

Ive had sciatica for at least 10 years. I tried every option to ease the pain in my back and left leg, all to no avail. I finally tried accupinture on a cruise ship, and was amazed at the relief I got. DR Zang was recommended as my follow up course of action when I got home. After 10 treatments, my pain is signifigantly less. I also had a frozen shoulder which DR Zang has completely cured! Im a strong advocate. If you havent tried accupuncture, I strongly reccommend it!
