Have a look at what our patients say about Dr. Tricia.

"Great prices, flexible and easy scheduling. I learned a lot about my body in the consultation and I felt like Tricia totally understood my problems and how to address them. I've been there about 6 times now and highly recommend going 2-3 times a week for at least 5 sessions and keeping track of how your body and mind feel during your treatment and between sessions. I've had pain issues since a car accident in 2020 and also due to the physical aspect of my job. I've tried pretty much everything to ease my pain and improve my mental health. So far acupuncture has been a great addition to my routine. And it costs less than what my copays were for my back doctor and the procedures I've had. I've been traditionally treating specific back problems for 3 years and after 2 sessions with Tricia she had figured out where most of the problem was coming from. Since then, I've seen so much improvement and my back feels better than it has in years. Even if you have tried acupuncture before and wasn't impressed, try this place. It feels so good and she finds all the right spots for pain or any other ailments you have."

"​Tricia is amazing. She helps me with some issues in my neck but the overall positive effect from the treatment is amazing."
​- Jessica C.

"I have seen Tricia nearly 40 times. She is very intuitive in her assessment, and locates the problem area immediately. There is no pain with the needle insertion, most of the time I don't even feel it. She is a highly skilled practitioner, who truly cares about her clients. She has a great variety of appointment times, which can be booked on-line. I highly recommend using her talent and skills. Thank you Tricia !!"

"For 13 year I've been struggling with a host of symptoms, that I now know are related to chronic Lyme disease. Seeing Tricia has been the best thing that's ever happened to me. When teams of doctors offered me nothing more than anti-depressants, she offered real, lasting relief.

She is an absolute delight to work with. She's super friendly, funny and approachable, and she's very good at what she does. If you're worried about acupuncture being too "wooey," she might be a very good fit for you.

I've been working with Tricia off and on for four years, seeing her as often as once a week and as little as once every six months. She has helped me with sleep issues, headaches, digestive problems, neck and back pain and other mysteries that none of my "real" doctors could do anything about. When I first saw her, I was complaining of lower back pain because my hips were crooked in both directions. The first treatment made me really mentally foggy so I wasn't sure about going back, but after 3 more treatments my hips had straightened out and I felt like a new person. She goes above and beyond to care for her patients and I'd recommend her to anyone in need of real relief."

"Tricia is awesome. She has helped me with a severe back injury, and poor circulation in my leg. She is very through in her assessment and treatment plan, she explains everything in great detail. She is very easy to talk to, and makes you feel at ease from the very beginning. I don't know how acupuncture works, but I can't argue with the results. Thank you Tricia !!"

"​I went to see Tricia to try acupuncture for a tweaked neck (it was my first time getting acupuncture). She made sure I understood what was going to happen, showed me the needles, briefly went over how it works (she was more than willing to elaborate on any areas I had questions about) and then asked what my major issue or reason for coming in was. All I can say is when I left my neck felt better than it had in a really long time, I was thoroughly impressed."
​- Rachel S. 

"I cannot thank Tricia enough for helping me especially most recently after foot surgery. I wasn't regaining feeling in my foot after surgery until Tricia treated the incision sites. The very next day, I noticed the feeling had returned to my foot. i also had an appointment for an ultrasound due to persistant stomach pain that my PCP thought was from my gallbladder. I saw Tricia the day before the ultrasound and never needed further treatment. The pain has never returned. I highly recommend Tricia to help with any of your healthcare needs or even just for calming and relaxation."
​- Linda R. 

"​I have been seeing Tricia for acupuncture for 3+ years now, and I can't say enough about how her treatments have helped me. She has an intuitive sense about her that carries over into her treatments, and she is always spot-on with her choice of where to put the little needles. I am always impressed by how my back and neck feel after I leave her office. Her space is peaceful and calming, and I usually end up taking a nap right on the table during my session. I'd highly recommend Tricia and her acupuncture services if you are looking for a skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly practitioner in the Harvard Square area and beyond."
​- Angela 

"Tricia made this skeptic a believer!

I have MS and was having a terrible winter with muscle spasticity in my legs causing me great, constant pain. I tried all that conventional medicine had to offer - including Vicodin - to no avail. I didn't really believe in acupuncture but decided to give it a try after my MS specialist suggested that I give it a try. I can certainly say I'm glad that I did. Tricia was very professional, the treatment pain-free and very relaxing, and the results amazing. My legs are now loose and pain free.

I cannot recommend Tricia highly enough."
​- T.R. 

"Tricia has been my acupuncturist for almost a year now. She is really friendly and caring in her approach, which is calming... especially before getting needled. She's always willing to answer my questions, which is great because I ask so many.
Just yesterday she cleared my sinus congestion. I wish I could have kept the needles in to prolong the welcomed effects!"
​- M.M. 

"​Wonderful experience! I was wowed by Tricia's ability to discern both the physical and emotional aspects of my concerns. Her treatment is second to none, I leave in a state of bliss."
​- Noyac 

"​I've known Tricia for years and she has treated me for a wide ranges of problems resulting from a very serious bicycle accident. I'm a healthy athlete today thanks to her work."

"I started seeing Tricia Beretz for a number of symptoms that I hadn't been able to get full relief from using more traditional channels.  I have quite an aversion to taking a lot of medication, but I also hate needles, so acupuncture was always something I thought of, but was too scared to try.  I finally took the plunge with Tricia after a friend recommended her.  I still don't fully understand how it all works, but the results speak for themselves.  My treatments with Tricia have given me immediate relief from chronic jaw pain that I have suffered with for years.  The amount of time in between sessions that I am pain free increases each time, and when it does creep back up it is much more mild and manageable than before.  Additionally, Tricia has helped reduce my back pain, both chronic and acute.  She even squeezed me in when I had an acute flare up and reduced the pain in my back enough that I didn't have to miss an important meeting at work.  In the past I would have been out of commission for at least 3 days.  Maybe even more importantly, Tricia's acupuncture sessions have helped me learn to become comfortable being in a relaxed state and have therefore helped me manage my mood and anxiety.   Experiencing relaxation on the acupuncture table has also improved my meditation and yoga practice.  I have noticed improvement in other areas too including digestion, muscle tension, and sleep.  As an added bonus, my skin has never been clearer.  I wish I had discovered acupuncture earlier, even if for the sole reason that I don't walk around with a face full of acne anymore. Tricia has been very patient with me and is always cognizant of my fear about needles and discomfort with relaxation. She explains everything very clearly and answers all my questions.  She's really cool and nice to be around.  I highly recommend Tricia to anyone who has any physical, mental, or emotional ailment, as well as to anyone who just wants a little help relaxing."
