"Kay is an outstanding acupuncturist. I have gone to her for about five years and I am still amazed how she can "fix" problems that come up in my body and always able to explain what is going on and often why. I had tried several acupuncturists before I found her but going to her has stopped my search for a good acupuncturist. She is one. Also try her facial rejuvenation program. I use that instead of facials."

"I happened upon a workshop flyer for Kay Madsen at my hairdresser's. Although I couldn't attend that event, I was drawn to her practice by her flyer questions, one of which was "do you have symptoms that no one seems to know how to treat?"
I came to Kay initially to help me with a strange eyelid rash and to transition off of hormone replacement therapy. Since that initial visit, she has helped me with those problems, as well as to heal an impinged shoulder and tennis elbow. And we are now working on my thyroid nodules. If I show up with a cold, she treats that, too! (But I have very few to none of those anymore!)
Kay uses a combination of Chinese herbs, acupuncture, diet recommendations, and shares a massive amount of information and education about Chinese medicine! I am at a point where I use NO prescription medicines. My lab results are great. I feel healthy and able to help myself when certain symptoms arise. If not, I have absolute trust that Kay will be able to help me with whatever comes up.
Kay has rocked my world and changed it for the better. I recommend her to everyone."

"I was in a car accident years ago, and had a flare up of the pain when I was critically ill last year for an unrelated issue. No one believed me that my back pain was back, and insisted it was all in my head. I started seeing Kay, and she explained to me the processes that my body was going through, and that indeed the back pain had returned. To say that acupuncture has been a great success for me is an understatement. When I first started seeing Kay, I was in pain most of the day. Now, I finally have relief. I no longer have to take many doses of pain meds to get through the day. I was hesitant at first, because I do not like needles, but quickly found the acupuncture needles are nothing compared to Western medicine!! I have benefited from acupuncture for back pain and migraines. I would recommend Kay's services to anyone that is looking to seek relief."

"I have been treated by Kay for several conditions. Her thorough knowledge of acupuncture, but more importantly, her ability to explain it in terms that can be understood by all, have been invaluable. I have gained a deeper appreciation of the benefits of Eastern medicine. I just wish it was incorporated more readily in combination with our western medicine!"
Ann McCord, Physical Therapist
"I've been a patient of Kay Madsen's for many years now....she has treated me for a variety of ailments/issues to include chronic sinus problems and more recently a hip injury. Last summer I tore and injured my hip muscle and suffered in pain for approximately 3 months. In September Kay began a rigorous treatment plan which included acupuncture, electrical stimulation, heat application and Gua Sha. After two sessions, the pain had decreased and my range of motion improved to the point I could return to a low impact exercise program. I was so elated that just over a month of treatments I was back to normal and could resume my normal activities; this is VERY important to me as being physically fit at all times is expected as a Naval Officer. Kay Madsen is a caring professional whose gentle touch and approach makes acupuncture pain free. She is empathetic towards today's working professionals, and is flexible with her schedules & accommodates the patient's requests however possible. She is the TRUE epitome of a professional practitioner!!!"

"I decided to try acupuncture treatments after my gynecologist told me there was nothing she could recommend to help me deal with my debilitating hot flashes and night sweats. After three years of suffering, it was time to seek an alternative to Western medicine. Although I was apprehensive about the acupuncture process, my first visit with Kay Madsen changed my mind. Kay is very thorough in her diagnosis of my physical symptoms and does an excellent job of addressing my questions about acupuncture. I particularly appreciate the way she explains the procedures she uses to treat the underlying causes of my problems. After just a few treatments I noticed a reduction in my symptoms and an improvement in my general health. By the end of one year of treatment I was no longer experiencing night sweats and my hot flashes were reduced to infrequent occurrences with minor discomfort. Regardless of how I feel when I go in for my appointments, I always leave feeling energetic with an improved sense of well being. During every appointment Kay demonstrates the knowledge, training, and experience that justify my complete trust in her abilities as an acupuncture practitioner."
