Uptown Acupuncture

It’s always tough moving to a new town and finding new doctors. That’s one reason why I hadn’t seen an acupuncturist in a few years since moving from Seattle. However, when the frequency of my migraines increased in 2014 I knew I had to seek a solution and based on positive Unilocal reviews I discovered Michael at Uptown Acupuncture. Boy am I thankful I did. Since the summer of ’14 when I first met Michael my migraines have decreased from monthly to every 3 – 4 months, or longer, and I credit a maintenance program of acupuncture every 3 – 4 weeks. He’s super affable, the office quiet and calming, and he won’t try to sell you extra services, like weekly treatments, if you don’t need them.

Michael at Uptown Acupuncture has treated me for over 4 years now. He is very friendly, professional, and knowledgable. I’ve been very satisfied with his services and treatment.

Michael Lay is a wonderful doctor. I originally saw Michael for migraines. After one month of treatment (4 visits) the migraines were gone. I now see Michael once a month as a preventative measure, but I’m staying migraine free! Thank you Michael!

Highly recommend Michael. Exceptionally knowledgable in his work. Friendly and honest.

I came to Michael for a minor hand injury that wouldn’t heal on its own, and after visiting two different doctors that had no solution, I turned to acupuncture. Michael has a nice comfortable office and very competitive pricing, and even though I’m no acupuncture guru, he seems extremely knowledgeable in what he does. Acupuncture was the natural push my hand needed to start healing and I would definitely recommend trying it.

Michael is great!

I have seen Michael a number of times over the past year. He is thoughtful and genuinely motivated to improve your health. Importantly, I have seen results from the treatments I have received here. A big plus is that he takes a number of insurance plans so I can focus on healing opposed to being concerned about coverage. My experiences here have helped expand my view of medicine. Highly recommend checking this place out…

I am in the physical rehab field and have worked with many acupuncturists. I have found Michael and uptown acupuncture to be the best, hands down. I see the results of Michael’s work in my clients. I had to use his services recently for my own injuries, and found him highly knowledgable and professional. His office is comfortable with a great location. I send both clients and family to Michael, and that’s the best compliment I could give.

I really wish I could post this review in a place that the entire world could see it, well OK, perhaps just all of the U.S.
I am 37 years old and have suffered from chronic lower back pain since I was 24 years old. Degenerative disk disease, to be specific. Since my first diagnosis in the late 90’s I have tried all sorts of physical therapists, personal trainers, pain medications — both prescription and over the counter, cortisone injections, and radio-​frequency ablation. All of these various treatments have given me very tepid result in the area of pain relief, so I finally decided (2 weeks ago) to try acupuncture as many folks have suggested.
After my first treatment, for the first time in what seemed like ever, I was pain free IMMEDIATELY after jumping off of the table. I was a little skeptical about the results, but now after my second and third treatments I am completely sold. The relief that Michael has given to me is nothing short of a miracle. Yes, even after three treatments I am able to sit, walk, stand, exercise for long periods of time with NO PAIN.
So, if you’re in the market for an acupuncturist, look no further! Michael is a kind, considerate professional, who is empathetic to his patients.

well, coming up on my 11^th treatment next week and have a) reduced my visits from twice per week to once every other week, and b) 99% pain free. The pain that I have experienced has been muscle fatigue pain from standing 9 hours in the kitchen cooking, and not the nerve pain that I had been experiencing these many past years.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not doing back flips, else I’d land in the hospital because I know my physical limitations, It is just so nice to be able to do the little things that I like to do. I can go back to the gym, I can ride a bike (stationary at the moment), I can go for long drives, and walks in the park! :0)
I think you get the picture!

I am highly embarrassed that it’s taken me this long to Unilocal about how awesome Uptown Acupuncture and Michael Lay are. This is long overdue.
After having been to several other acupuncturist I can assuredly say that Michael Lay gets results that others cannot. I have been a patient of his for about 4 years and whether its my regular appointment or a specific treatment the results are always excellent and very effective. Michael is the perfect combination of professionalism and kindness. He listens to concerns and shares his knowledge and treatment plan clearly and thoroughly. Most importantly, I trust Michael’s work and am proof that his treatments are incredibly effective. If you are seeking relief from a chronic condition, wellness treatments, recovering from a sports injury or any other type of medical treatment go see Michael at Uptown Acupuncture. He really is the best.

I’ve tried many many different treatments and therapies and drugs to elevate my lower back pain, including steroid injections. None of the things I tried helped the way Michael at Uptown Acupuncture has. I’ve even tried other acupuncturists that didn’t help. Michael knows what he is doing. Highly recommended. Uptown Acupuncture is worth its weight in GOLD!
