Jon,
Working with you on my digestive issues over the past six months has been a wonderful experience during a very difficult time. Throughout all the doctors (primary and emergency care) that I have seen, I always knew that working with you would lead me in the right direction. Your dedication to healing is an inspiration, as is your calm nature and keen ability to listen. Thank you for all of your help!

I’ve seen a number of acupuncturists over the years, and Jon E. Walker is one of the best. I saw Jon E. for a variety of lingering health issues, and the improvement was amazing. Jon E. has a wonderfully holistic approach to acupuncture—combining dietary suggestions, herbs, and acupuncture. He also has a great manner about him—easy-going and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Jon E.’s acupuncture practice.
