"I have been getting treated by Carl for over 20 years! He embodies grace and excellence, and is a true healer. Whatever has ailed me over the years Carl has always managed to remedy it with his various treatments. From acupuncture to cupping, he can do it all and help you live happily and healthfully. Do not hesitate to make an appointment, even speaking on the phone with Carl will put you at ease, I promise!"
"Carl has been instrumental in helping me to eliminate old pains as well as assisting in greatly (like, exponentially) improving my energy during the day, and quality of my mind. My insomnia has gone away, and my overall mental and physical wellbeing has greatly improved during my few months working with him. Carl has a welcoming and comfortable office space, and his professionalism and deep knowledge of the body is clearly apparent and he was able to effectively understand my issues and the course of treatment for them. The environment was calm and soothing, enhancing the overall healing experience. I highly recommend Carl to anyone looking for skilled, compassionate care."
"Carl is the best acupuncturist, hands down! He takes his time and is very through. He asks a lot of questions and really wants his patients to feel better. I have used his services off and on for 15 years. There is no other modality like acupuncture and Carl's the one to go to."
"Carl is by far the best acupuncturist I've worked with. Knowledge, attention, effectiveness, general regard for clients, personableness, take your pick. Whatever you may find most important in your care experience, Carl will hit the marks, and make for rewarding experiences and successful outcomes."
"I started seeing Carl Balingit for an injury to my left achilles in February 2018, from "repetitive stress." I was 65 years old and had hiked Mr. Whitney four times and backpacked multiple times in the Grand Canyon and other locations. I had been treated by physicians, and had physical therapy, massage and chiropractic treatment, all which helped, but after weeks of treatment, the orthopedic specialist told me that I would never hike again. I was skeptical whether acupuncture would help, but I asked Carl whether he had treated this type of injury, what sort of treatment I would have and how long the treatment would take. Carl explained the process thoroughly and I gave it a try. Although the original estimate was less, after 10 treatments, I hiked three miles. Three miles turned into many miles. I would periodically have issues with my neck or shoulder where I would see him for a few treatments. At 70, I was still able to backpack the Grand Canyon for 3 days, without any issues with my achilles or other problems. In August 2024, I was debilitated by sciatica (a herniated disc) on my right side. Again, I saw specialists for the numbness in my left foot and left leg and back pain, along with physical therapy and other treatments. In January 2025, I reached out to Carl to see if he could help me with my sciatica, which by that time was considered long term. Since that time, I have seen Carl approximately once a week. After the first few sessions, the pain in my calf improved. By February, I was able to feel my middle toes, and as of a week ago, my big toe. Why is that important? If you can't feel your foot, you fall. I have fallen multiple times. I don't believe I would have improved so quickly in the last 7 weeks without his skill and treatments. I have recommended Carl to all of my friends for years. I sincerely encourage any person to try acupuncture, especially for long term injuries. I especially recommend Cart, who has acted in such a professional manner for years. Never has he been late, made me uncomfortable or acted other than an ultimate professional. I am disappointed that he will be relocating as I trust him with my health. He will be missed."
"Carl really helped me solve issues with tight calves and uncomfortable sensations in my Achilles tendons. If you're experiencing pain or discomfort and have not had success with traditional methods, I highly recommend Carl."
