Jeannette Painovich, DAOM, LAc

Dr. Painovich is the best! I have seen her on and off for many years. She was actually recommended by my primary doctor. She is patient, asks many questions and really listens. Her treatment has allowed me to stay off medication for chronic health issues. She explains her treatment and lets you know what to expect. Dr. Painovich has also successfully treated me for a sports injury. Again, keeping me off anti inflammatory meds and getting me back in the game. Her office is a relaxing space and everything is perfectly clean.

I recommend Dr. Jeanette Painovich to anyone looking for an approachable and experienced acupuncturist. I’m a bit of a «sensitive» patient and she always takes my fears into consideration. I have had a very difficult year in my personal life and she has been a life saver for me… dealing with my physical issues and well as emotional. She is always on time and yet seems to have all the time I need when I see her! A rare combination in a doctor!

I’ve only seen her once, today, but felt the need to review as I saw someone posted that they didn’t like her bedside manner. I have to completely disagree. She has a great bedside manner. She will definitely ask personal questions, as all doctors should, and be completely honest about her opinion. I really appreciate the honesty from any doctor, in fact most of the time I wish they would be more opinionated. Truth may hurt for some, but if you are seeing a doctor to truly improve your health then you should be willing and open to hear what they have to say.
I had a neck strain — her acupuncture immediately increased my range of motion. The pain is still mostly there. We will see how I feel later today or tomorrow. I’ll adjust my review when I know her better.

I specifically told Jeannette what kind of treatment I wanted. She told me to «trust her» and what she pleased not caring about how I felt. I got no pain relief and ended up having to go to a chiropractor the next day and the pain was gone right away. She charges too much for as little as she does. DO NOT go to her and don’t trust anyone who says «trust me».

I had terrible headaches almost every day for months back and forth to the dr’s (they just gave me meds with side effects) than my sister in law found dr. P ainovich shes a MIRACLE WORKER. after two session and herbs .I have had no headaches for almost 2 weeks. I feel like she gave me my life back… I am telling everyone i know about her. again its a miracle

Dr P doesn’t deserve less than 5 starts.
I currently pregnant with my second child, my first pregnancy was perfect. But this pregnancy has been a pain, after the first three months I was done with morning sickness, and had a week or relieve, then I started having back pain, getting worse everyday, ob said is normal, I knew it was normal!!!, then the back pain went down to my pelvic area, it was soooo painful, it was hard to walk, to sit, to stand up, to sleep, the pain was keeping me awake at night, so in the mornings I had bad headaches, I swear to God that I felt miserable, when I told my OB, all He said was: «This is part of your pregnancy and its gonna get worse, deal with it», and then one of my friends recommended yoga and acupuncture. Its still hard to find prenatal yoga with my work schedule. And then I found Dr Painovich, it was very easy to make an appointment., Eden, her receptionist was very helpful and polite, she answered all of my questions.
Dr. Painovich is the best, I highly recommend her, I was afraid of the idea of having needles all over me, it wasn’t like that, She made me feel very comfortable, and She answered all my questions before the treatment. I felt the difference after the first treatment. She relieved 90% of the pain, and of course she wasn’t going to relieve all the pain, cause I’m still pregnant. Im so thankful that I found her, thankful that instead of taking pain medication or to suffer by living in pain all the time, I chose her. Im planning to see her twice a month, she is also going to treat me for my fatigue.
Dont hesitate to give it a try, you wont regret it.

I have been a patient of Dr. Painovich for eight years and I trust her with my life. She has helped me through everything from menopausal symptoms to colds to frozen shoulder to anxiety attacks. She is caring, honest and sensitive to my moods and stress. I have referred many friends and colleagues to her and without exception their response is the same as mine. If you are looking to try acupuncture and herbs, but are nervous about it like I once was, she is the perfect doctor for you!!!

I have had such amazing results with Dr. Painovich. I went to her originally to treat a problem with my feet. Unlike some of my western docs (who I also love and adore), she didn’t just treat my feet — she found out everything that was going on with me. She has now addressed issues in my knees and back as well. I love that I have someone I can see and trust who can help with just about anything that is bothering me. She has always been very straight forward with me so I knew what results to expect. She is also considerate that my treatments are not covered by insurance — she lets me decide how long to go between appointments so it fits not only my treatments but my budget and time. I trust her completely and can’t say enough great things about her, her staff, and the process itself.

While Dr. Painovich is very well-​versed in her ability to diagnose and treat issues in connection to acupuncture and Chinese herbs and their use, her ‘bedside manner’ is somewhat lacking, in my opinion. She is not very friendly… somewhat ‘blunted’ in her manner. It made me a bit uncomfortable at times and at one point downright nervous! Twice I left my appointments in tears, and not from the treatment! I was a patient of hers for several months. I did begin to feel some improvement overall with her treatments and the herbs she prescribed. However, at my last appointment she made what I thought was an inappropriate comment regarding another health professional that I was seeing and had a lot of respect for, and recommended that I see someone else that she knows. While that in and of itself is not unethical, her suggestion of how I pay for this other professional was completely uncalled for and made me quite angry. She made comments about my mental health that were completely inappropriate and untrue, and that did cause some distress. I will not be returning to her and will be finding someone else to treat me instead. It’s unfortunate, because her credentials and talent are impeccable, but her communication skills and sensitivity are sorely lacking. Perhaps it’s just a matter of us being two different personalities, but if you can’t connect and feel safe in the environment where you’re being treated, then you need to find someone else that you can connect with. Perhaps others may connect with her better that I did.
