Mobility
Rho saved me from pain and mobility issues caused by a prescription given to me by my doctor. He was concerned about me and my progress. Rho taught me so much about my body and now I am stronger than even before I started taking the prescription. I recommend him to others often. Will always go to him in connection with my regular Dr.

Compassion
Rho is an incredible practitioner. I have known him for years, and he has always been able to help. He has a wealth of knowledge that is matched with a strong sense of compassion. I wouldn't see anyone else
Laurie Ingebritsen
Critical Injury
Knowledgeable, caring, very professional and assertive... he knows his business and the art of natural therapy and healing. I've benefited from Rho's knowledge on several occasions over the years, as some of my other family members have as well, especially following critical injuries and surgeries.

Menieres Syndrome
I started seeing Rho about 10 months ago for problems related to Meniere's Syndrome. Instead of treating that directly he did a whole body assessment and tackled a number of problems that were interfering with my ability to overcome the Meniere's symptoms, with great success. I feel very blessed with the improvements I have made and how he has helped me return to living the life I loved prior to my illness. Thank you Rho!

Trigeminal Neuralgia
I have gone to Rho many times. I have a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia. It causes severe pain on one side of your face. It hurts to chew, eat, drink, smile, talk, brush your teeth, wash your face etc. Rho treats my condition with compassion and gets me back on track. Thanks for your help and understanding.

Hot Flashes
My husband and I have been seeing Rho for over 10 years. He helped my husband get rid of his snoring as well as not having to blow his nose constantly from spring allergies. I have had great success with Rho and acupuncture from hot flashes, neck pain, stomach issues and water retention. I think Rho is truly amazing and is very in tune with what he does
Teresa Espe
General Maintenance
Rho is amazing. I have had chronic back pain for nearly 20 years. Within the first visit I experience relief from my pain with each visit improving both my level of discomfort as well as my range of motion. After five sessions, over a year ago, I am no longer experiencing the crippling issues that have so affected my daily life. My wife and kids have also benefited from seeing Rho, for various pains and ailments.

Surgical Pain
Honorable is how Rho conducts himself and his business. His help has been insightful as I am currently recovering from surgery and his treatments are reducing my pain. For years I've been truly cared for as a whole person with his approach and treatment. I've had acupuncture by other practitioners and spent thousands of dollars that I couldn't notice benefits from, but I experience healing at Ancient Lake Acupuncture.
Sarah Barron
Pain Reduction
Rho has changed my life. Without him and his expertise I would not be able to live my life to the fullest. Nothing comes close to relieving my pain the way his acupuncture does.
Joe Holman
Severe Sciatica
The most amazing medical experience I've ever had! My first acupuncture experience and I wasn't sure what to expect. I went in with severe sciatica and overall tension of the body. I was also severely lethargic and never had energy. 1 hr after leaving Dr. Rho I have never had more natural energy in my life. I can feel all the tension in my lower back, neck and shoulders is all melting away!
David Angel
Chronic Anxiety
I started going to Rho in the spring. I was having shoulder pain and chronic anxiety. I am so thankful that I have made so much progress. I am feeling much calmer. I feel very positive about my experience with Ancient Lake Acupuncture. It is a soothing, peaceful atmosphere.
Nancy Knoll
Concussion Symptoms
Rho has helped me with the pain I have associated with riding horses. Riding horses I have received my fair share of concussions. Rho made my symptoms disappear and helped me with my healing process so I can get back to what I love. I also experience leg pains which Rho has treated and told me how to manage the pain. Rho has been amazing to me and my family. I always know he'll be there to help me.
Rachel Edmiston
Classical Migraines
I went in to see Rho when I had a migraine. By the time I left, I did not have a migraine, and did not have another one for 5 months.
Gayle Brown
Depression
I have been seeing Rho since I was in high school, about a decade now. He has treated my seasonal allergies and depression. Most recently I had spent hundreds of dollars on doctors in the area trying to nail down why I was suffering from severe inflammation. I had markers in my blood that pointed towards lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis but they couldn't figure out what was wrong and basically told me to come back when I was crippled. I went and saw rho and within 3 months all my symptoms subsided and I am feeling on top of the world now that I can move my hands again. He has treated my mom for several autoimmune diseases she has and has been a life saver for us. The office is so peaceful and relaxing. Rho is so kind and always has something to say that really makes you think about life in a new perspective.

Hand Pain
I was recommended to Ancient Lakes Acupuncture by a friend ten years ago to help with chronic pain from a fall to my shoulder and thumb. It was so painful and hurt even worse in cold weather so I made an appointment with Rho. After the first treatment I was instantly taken out of pain and still am to this day. Both the shoulder and thumb work perfectly. I so appreciated Rho and the relief knowing that I can receive treatment from any symptoms or accidents at any time. He is very professional and well taught. In fact I still receive regular tune ups as I call them to balance my chi- my life energy force when needed. Three years ago I had another accident on an ice rink in another state and in much pain. I could not wait to get back to CDA and have Rho take care of me. After the first appointment I was out of pain also,I have never been overcharged and was always told ahead of time what the treatment plan was, how many appointments and how much it would cost. Five stars from me!

If you are willing to invest the time and accept your responsibility for healing, understanding that the pain or ill that brought you to this doorstep most likely did not happen overnight, then you have found the perfect place to start your healing journey. I have gone from a point of total health Chaos to a place of Thrive. Rho is very intuitive and the more you can explain the sensations or issues with him about how it is impacting your lifestyle the quicker you will get resolution. As with anything worth doing, this is your health and mobility, you have to be willing to do your part of the work, and I can say it is worth every bit of time you will invest in your health. The clinic is a very peaceful, modest place that does not distract from the focus of healing. If getting your health back is important to you then I would highly recommend Rho at Ancient Lake Acupuncture.

Thank You
For many days while driving to and from work I saw a sign asking, “Are you thankful?” and each time I would think, “yes” and visualize what/who I was most thankful for at that moment, you always came to mind. I am very thankful to have the opportunity to see you. You have helped me more than I could ever have considered, both through acupuncture and your exercise class. I have learned much from you and I have learned much about myself through you. Thank you

Gynecological/
Menstrual
I definitely recommend Rho at ancient lake acupuncture! I started seeing Rho last year because I was having severe sciatic pain in my back. It was affecting my mobility, day to day life, and my job. After a consultation, it was determined that my monthly cycle was the cause of the back pain, and much more. My period had always been heavy but didn't realize that my kidneys were suffering and couldn't keep up with the blood loss. This was the reason my energy levels were very low, and why I had lower back pain. As women, our uterus has a great deal to do with our overall health. I was so impressed with his insight and knowledge.After a few treatments, my back felt better and my period was actually manageable. For the first time in my adult life, my cycle didn't dictate my schedule. There was work to do on my part for my back, like exercise and not working my body super hard in the afternoon so I wouldn't stress my organs. It was incredible the change that happened. I never thought acupuncture could change my cycle. This year I went in for my spring checkup and found out that my blood isn't moving like it should through my body. Also, I was having painful bowels. This is not a good sign. Rho was able to tell this due to my cycle giving the signs, and other things. We started treatment right away, and I can already see the difference. I have changed my diet a great deal and cut out coffee, this is my part of it. With Rhos treatment and my part done at home, which is extremely important too, my health does and will continue to improve. If you consider how much money you spend on conventional doctors having them push pain pills at you and not solving the problem.....I would rather go to Rho and feel real results

Shoulder Pain
I had very acute shoulder pain to the point I could not use my arm. One visit and Rho relieved the pain. I not only have the use of my arm back but am continuing treatment to regain strength in it. I cant say enough about the healing and caring that Rho has given me.
