Review for Herban Health, East Palo Alto, CA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I have worked for about 5 years as a volunteer acupuncturist with Herban Health at the VA in Menlo Park and at Ravenswood Medical Clinic in East Palo Alto. On at least 2 occasions I have taken part in half day seminars on nutrition to educate our patients. In general I think that patients find our services very helpful as evidenced by the healthy attendance at the two clinics that I work. Sometimes I think we try to do too much in the short time we have with patients, especially the Saturday clinic at Ravenswood.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Recruit more volunteers. Limit the number of needles per patient. Limit the number of patients for the Ravenswood Clinic. I think we could provide better service if we saw fewer patients.
