This was my first experience with acupuncture, and unfortunately, it was not a positive one. My appointment was scheduled for 10:00 a.m with Marina Doktorman. At 9:15 a.m., I received a phone call that I was unable to answer, followed by a text message informing me that the practitioner would not arrive until 10:30 a.m. I was simply informed of the delay without being asked if that time still worked for me or if I would prefer to reschedule. I arrived at 10:20 a.m., as I always try to arrive a few minutes early for appointments. The office was still closed. At 10:32 a.m., I sent a message explaining that I could not wait much longer because I had to go to work. The practitioner arrived around 10:38 a.m., and I then had to wait while she opened the office and got everything ready. Another patient, whose appointment was at 10:30 a.m., was called in before me. At that point, I asked to cancel my appointment because it no longer made sense for me to stay after such a long delay. I ultimately stayed, but I was already disappointed with the experience. Since this was my first acupuncture session, I expected a brief explanation of what to expect, how the treatment would be performed, and how long each step would take. Instead, I received very little information, which left me feeling anxious throughout the session. I also explained that my main concern was muscle tension in my shoulders and trapezius. In my experience, those areas did not receive the attention I expected, and I did not notice any improvement after the treatment. The appointment description also stated that a light massage was included, but that part of the service was not provided. Finally, after the session ended, I discovered that one of the acupuncture needles had been left in my body, and I had to remove it myself. That was particularly concerning. I paid $145 for a 60-minute session, and considering the delay, the lack of communication, the experience during the treatment, and the fact that I left feeling exactly the same, I was very disappointed. This review reflects only my personal experience. It may have been an off day, but based on my first impression, I would not return or recommend this practice.

I spent the last 15 years trying every kind of allergy treatment and acupuncturist out there so you don’t have to. Pulse Acupuncture with Dr Marina Doktorman is the only practice I have returned and have been happy since last year when I discovered this place. Here is the truth: not all acupuncture is created equal. I have been to places where the staff is fresh out of school and doesn’t even place the needles correctly (do yourself a favor and avoid those VC clinics with multiple locations).. This doctor has 24 years of experience, is a true professional, and knows exactly what she is doing. Her treatments are fast, easy, and highly effective. What actually shocked me the most is that I saw after my appointment at the end of the day she is still studying and learning new ways to stay up to date with latest research to help her patients. I have seen enough this doctor knows multiple treatment methods and is the absolute best at healing allergies, pain, sleep problems, and skin issues. I'm so glad I found this doctor.

Working with Dr. Marina has been a game-changer for my health. I originally came to her seeking support for type 2 diabetes, chronic headaches, back pain, and rotator cuff discomfort — and I’m truly amazed at the progress I’ve made. Dr. Marina takes the time to listen deeply and tailors each acupuncture session to what my body needs most. Not only have my blood sugar levels improved, but my headaches are far less frequent, and both my back and shoulder pain have significantly decreased. I feel more mobile, balanced, and energized after every visit. Her calm, welcoming presence and deep expertise make every session feel like a reset — physically and mentally. The clinic space is peaceful, and she creates an environment that supports real healing. If you’re struggling with chronic health issues and looking for someone who truly understands how to help, I can’t recommend Dr. Marina enough. She’s exceptional.

Dear Dr.Marina Doktorman, I hope this message finds you well! I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact your acupuncture sessions have had on my life. Your expertise and care have helped me find relief and healing in ways I never thought possible. When I first sought acupuncture, I was struggling with a combination of issues that affected my overall well-being. Chronic back pain was causing constant discomfort, and my restless nights were dominated by persistent night sweats. Additionally, I was battling frustrating skin issues that seemed to resist all other forms of treatment. From the very first session, I knew I was in good hands. Your thorough understanding of my concerns and willingness to explain the acupuncture process put me at ease. The ambiance of your clinic created a serene and comforting space, setting the tone for a transformative healing journey. What amazed me most was the efficacy of acupuncture in addressing my various health challenges. The impact on my sleep was nothing short of miraculous. After a few sessions, I began experiencing deep, uninterrupted sleep, waking up refreshed and energized—a change I had been longing for, but never found through other methods. Furthermore, the improvement in my skin condition was remarkable. Acupuncture seemed to trigger a healing response, and gradually, my skin issues started to fade away. I couldn't believe the visible transformation, and it did wonders for my self-confidence. As for the night sweats and back pain, they became less frequent and intense with each session. Your targeted approach and skillful needle placement directly addressed the root causes of my discomfort, providing much-needed relief and easing the burdens I had carried for far too long. I cannot stress enough how appreciative I am for the positive impact you've had on my life. Your dedication to helping your patients achieve better health and well-being is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking holistic and effective solutions to their health issues. Once again, thank you for your expertise, kindness, and genuine care. You have not only been my acupuncturist but also a catalyst for transformative change in my life. I am forever grateful for the healing journey we embarked on together. Thank you Dr. Marina Doktorman! Special shoutout to Olga for being so welcoming!

Marina is amazing! She truly understands what she’s doing and how to help. I had terrible back pain and sciatica when I was pregnant to the point that I wasn’t sleeping at night. She was able to provide me relief. I felt like a new person walking out of her office.

M.D., the acupuncturist is one of a kind! I’ve been to several people and she is outstanding. She’s kind, thorough, professional and never makes you feel hurried. Her technique is wonderful and effective. She talks to you & explains carefully what she is looking to achieve. She doesn’t mind going the extra mile to assist you with your issue. I also appreciate that she is always professionally developing her craft. She is constantly learning new methods & techniques that she studies, sometimes here, sometimes abroad. I highly recommend Marina Doctorman as a first class acupuncturist, plus!! E.M.

This place is awesome! Such a relaxing experience. Marina addresses all my concerns and always makes me feel comfortable. The treatments I received here have solved several of my health issues in just a few sessions after years of OTC medication. I would definitely recommend Pulse for serious health concerns and even if you just want some stress relief or add a new beauty treatment to your regimen! A+ for Marina Doktorman.

I was a patient of Marina Doktorma for about two weeks (October/November 2020), receiving acupuncture treatments for lower back and knee pain. Marina is a true professional. Before beginning each treatment, she explained the treatment options and made sure that I was well informed and comfortable before beginning. She was very gentle as she administered the treatments, (I feel asleep a few times) communicating with me throughout the process. In addition to the premise being very clean, relaxing music made for a very calming experience. Without hesitation, I would return for future treatments if the pain returns. Kenny.

I do recommend everyone to go and see for themselves how amazing her techniques.
