Recommendations for good ones. My mom just quit the one that she was going to up the road- because the lady was P-S-Y-C-H-O. And she would like to find one down here.

That new rubdown place in the Waldorf mall claims to do acupuncture but I don't think I would trust them.
I think there's a lady in Huntingtown that does it as well.

Have you been to either of these people?
I am asking because I want someone who is not fake- and who also might have some knowledge on some auto-immune diseases.

Caution: Acupuncture - Insurance
A word of caution regarding Acupuncturists who accept insurance. I've heard that the insurance companies will only reimburse the practitioner for 15 minutes of their time.
A typical appointment takes around an hour, so people who accept insurance may make up for it by scrimping on the amount of time that they spend with each patient.
I've heard that, for the most part, practitioners feel that accepting insurance might compromise their ability to provide their patients with quality care and elect not to accept insurance at all.
Just something for you to consider...

Definitely not the case with John Hanson. I have often been there for over an hour at a time. He does not seem to watch the clock, and will continue to work with you until results are positive. He shared with me that most acupunturists are told in training not to accept insurance because of the high cost of maintenance and they traditionally do not make as much as doctors (who can fit in many more patients in an hours time!).

Joe, sounds like you found a good one!
I know of a guy who saw someone in Waldorf and walked out with pins still in him.
Seems that the practitioner placed the pins, had an assistant remove them and nobody asked the patient how he was feeling afterward. 
It was the guy's first time and he didn't know what to expect, but I set him straight!
