Liver Disease

Dr. Maureen Rozenn is amazing and has been such a benefit in my life.  Before seeing Maureen I was a complete wreck.  I had so many health issues including liver disease. My doctors offered me no guidance, just drugs. I was at my lowest low.  Then I met Maureen and reluctantly scheduled an appointment for acupuncture.  Almost immediately, my skepticism turned to belief after my first visit.  She presented a professional yet calming atmosphere.  I quickly discovered that she was gifted and had a keen understanding of the human body and spirit. I left feeling there was help and hope for me.  That was over a year ago and Maureen’s diverse skills continue to benefit my health.  My liver function is optimal. My depression and anxiety are tremendously improved.  In fact, my improvement has been so great that my husband recently began seeing her for treatments too. I am grateful to have Maureen and her wonderful staff in my life.  Pam C.–Santa Cruz

So I was getting Western treatment for Hep-C and knew the side effects were going to be nasty. I started going to Maureen for help with that. Long story short… With average once a week treatment from Maureen I was able to finish the interferon and am still virus free. Her treatments reduced the side effects. I was able to stay active. I have seen her for a number of other issues and she has helped me with all of them.
One of the first things you sense is that she truly is in to what she is doing and she is very results oriented. Phil M.—Scotts Valley

Fertility

I contacted Maureen after learning of my miscarriage with my first pregnancy.  She was very helpful and reassured me that we could work together to cleanse and heal my body in preparation for a future pregnancy.  I had never received acupuncture before, but her gentle approach and knowledge about fertility put me at ease right away.  In combination with acupuncture and chinese herbs and Maureen’s expert guidance, I am currently in my second trimester!  Sarah R.–Santa Cruz

I highly recommend Maureen as an acupuncturist.  I am currently seeing her for fertility and anxiety issues.  She is thorough, listens intently and is so encouraging; I feel so confident that my husband and I will definitely move forward on our fertility journey with ease.  Her treatment rooms are quiet and comfortable; I never feel rushed.  I feel that for women’s health and fertility you can’t make a better choice than Maureen.

Irregular/Painful Periods

I felt so much better after my appointment with you yesterday.  I think the treatment you gave me really helped.  Today I feel a shift and the world’s worst period has started to subside.  Thank you for your gifts of healing, I so appreciate all that you do.  Anonymous

Pain Relief

In a short time, Maureen has relieved my degenerative L5 lower back pain significantly.  She has also helped me with migraines, neck pain, allergies and more.  I’m a huge fan – she listens on many levels and is informative and understandable.  Along with her extensive education and experience, I also trust and appreciate her intuitive sense.  Maureen has a calming presence and good humor.  I agree with other review about not ever feeling rushed, the focused individual attention and soothing environment……I recommend her highly to anyone for anything – everyone for everything!

I had muscle pain for 15 years and tried everything, including  hypnosis, massage, rolfing, and Western and Eastern medicine and everything in between with no luck. Until I found Dr. Rozenn.  In desperation I decided to try acupuncture one more time.  She has changed my life!  She is an extremely talented acupuncturist (and I have been to enough different ones to know a good one) and extremely professional.  She operates her clinic on time and is absolutely respectful of her client’s issues.   I would recommend her to anyone. Pam D.–Santa Cruz

I’ve been seeing Doctor Rozenn for many years. Her treatments are so effective, I will drive all the way from Oakland to visit her Santa Cruz office! Her treatments for my occasional neck spasms, deliver instant relief of pain with improvement in range of motion right after a visit. I also like the convenient, online appointment system – you can also call in and talk to the nice and friendly staff.  Dave B.—Oakland

Amazing!  An acupuncturist who listens and is extremely educated from both an Eastern and Western perspective.  Dr. Rozenn has been helping me heal chronic pain from multiple old injuries I got as a competitive ice skater.  I’m actually able to move with ease again! Lisa B.—Felton

Digestive Problems

Dr. Rozenn an amazing acupuncturist. I started seeing her 2 months ago for a chronic digestive problem. I had been diagnosed by three different GI specialists as having IBD, microscopic colitis, ulcerative colitis and Chrones. I was only getting sicker on corticosteroids and antibiotics, and my symptoms were limiting my activities and impacting my quality of life. Within two visits, I started to improve. Now, 7 treatments later, following Dr. Rozenn’s nutritional advice, taking 3 Chinese herbs and a tincture, I have found complete relief from my symptoms. Dr. Rozenn is calm, astute, supportive and thorough. I  find her rich background of information and skill lead her to take the right steps in treatment. I feel safe under her care and blessed to have found her through my primary physician’s recommendation!  Susie T. –Boulder Creek

 Chronic Illness

Brilliant! Dr. Maureen Rozenn truly stands out among the rest.  Her eclectic background allows her to access each patient’s individual needs. I recommend her to the seasoned veterans of acupuncture as well as first timers. She explains the entire process to you and the only surprise you will encounter is the relief you will feel being under her care.  Therese P.– Santa Cruz

Maureen has made me a believer!   She is by far the best medical professional I’ve ever seen. She truly listens to my body and has taught me how to do the same.  I never feel rushed or uncomfortable during an appointment and she has helped me overcome a chronic issue that I’ve battled for over 10 years. She is the best! Haylee W.–Santa Cruz

Dr. Rozenn helped me clear up a longstanding condition when I was facing surgery. Also, when I was coming down with the flu, her treatment stopped me from getting sick. She is very thorough and a great listener. She also works well alongside conventional western healthcare and always encourages me to listen to the advice from my primary care physician. From my experience, she is a very dedicated, effective, and conscientious healer. Valerie M.—Santa Cruz

Insomnia

Having suffered from chronic insomnia for eight years and tried many, many avenues of help, I would like to thank and compliment Dr Maureen Rozenn (Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Santa Cruz) for having used her knowledge and skills to cure me of this debilitating problem.   She gently guided me through  Eastern medicine’s idea of treating insomnia through understanding better digestion and lowering stress.   Within a week of her treatments I was sleeping six to eight hours nightly.   I feel a different person and would like those who also suffer from insomnia to know about this course of action.   Thank you, Dr Rozenn! Jan G.– Santa Cruz

Enthusiastic!!!

maureen knows her shit! she has helped me to understand and learn to control my pain and depression in a way i didn’t think was possible. she is always supportive and honest. i highly recommend her for any little problem one may have. Brooke D.–Soquel

ok, so: i had a pair of really great acupuncturists back east before i moved to CA, and i’m still blown away by how awesome maureen is. how awesome is she? she’s so awesome i’ll be driving all the way to SC from the mission once a week over the summer for the sole purpose of staying in treatment with her, even though SF is crawling with acupuncturists. if i weren’t such a slacker (and if it wouldn’t be weird), i’d be baking her cookies on a daily basis. seriously: daily.

i first started seeing maureen last november, after being out of acupuncture treatment for 4 months because of moving across the country. when we first met, i was at a point where the state of my health (mental and physical) could really only be termed “acute crisis”: i couldn’t even get through the (incredibly thorough) health history forms without verging on breaking down. six months later, the differences are stark – and she’s been incredible with helping me deal with some other chronic health problems that have resurfaced since then as well.

i could go on and on, but i’ll leave you with this: my favorite thing about maureen is the fact that she seems *really* to enjoy educating people about acupuncture and about their bodies. she doesn’t mind answering questions, no matter how many i throw at her (and i am just full of questions); watching her test out points (and resultantly getting to observe some fascinating cause/effect relationships in my own body) is probably one of my favorite things about my appointments at her clinic. she doesn’t give orders and absolute pronouncements about what you should or shouldn’t do/eat/drink/whatever; rather, she’ll explain how X can affect your Y (by Z mechanism), suggest that you might want to consider doing ABC, and then let *you* figure out that she’s right through your own trial and error (and oh, she’s always right…even when you and your rock-n-roll lifestyle really hope that somehow, she’s not). she can recommend both eastern and western supplements, is a rockstar about all things female health related, and will research an answer for next time if she doesn’t know it off the top of her head. the students who help run the clinic are really nice, too.
