Jessy is an excellent health care provider. She makes an effort to truly understand her patients, and is a great and attentive listener. She maximizes patient comfort and is extremely knowledgeable at what she does. I have been seeing her for a couple of years now, and I always look forward to our sessions together due to her gentle, caring and effective approach to treatment.
Jessica has been treating me for over seven years and seeing her regularly has become an important part of my healthcare program. If I am struggling with muscle pain or mobility issues, the cupping treatment at the start of an acupuncture appointment is immensely helpful. I value her thorough check-in at the start of every appointment as I know she is building a treatment specifically for me on that day. I come away from every appointment more grounded, focused and energetically balanced. And if I have a health issue or wonder, Jessica shares thoughtful suggestions and recommendations. I would love to have a weekly acupuncture treatment as Jessica is an incredibly helpful practitioner!
Our entire family (husband, myself & 2 teenage daughters) have seen Jess on a regular basis for over 5 years. We feel tremendously lucky to have met Jess, she’s extremely professional but also kind and caring. Our daughters are competitive athletes and need regular treatment – Jess always goes out of her way to help accommodate their constantly evolving schedules and talks to them both about their treatment, suggests preventative exercises, etc. Jess definitely goes above & beyond and truly cares about her patients.
I have been going to Jessica since 2017 for acupuncture and cupping. She has a thoughtful and calm bedside manner. She has helped me both physically and mentally over the past 7 years. She remembers my unique issues and quite often suggests other avenues or practitioners. I see Jessica monthly to keep my body and mind in balance.
That last treatment you gave me… I cannot even begin to tell you the difference it made, and the flow that made it’s way back immediately. My breathing much better right away, and maintained. You are a very gifted practitioner, and I am so very grateful for you and that expertise!
I am so glad to have found Evolve, Jessica Is such a fantastic person and makes me feel special on every visit. I have changed a lot since my first treatment and I am loving life and myself again. The treatment room is so relaxing and comfortable. free parking [out front]. I would totally recommend visiting evolve and experience it first hand.
Wow it was so good to meet you yesterday!! I have been doing research about the spleen function & what happens when it is under distress. All of it makes so much sense in terms of what I have been eating, doing, how I have been living! I have all of the obvious signs. Thank you so much for seeing it. I can now work at addressing it. Much gratitude & light.
Dr. Jessica McDonald has been friendly, compassionate, and professional making a difficult process easier. I started seeing her while experiencing on-going pain; it is my belief that without her assistance I would not be pain-free today. I have continued to see her for various other complaints. Dr. McDonald is always available to answer questions or concerns and is a true professional. I would strongly recommend Dr. McDonald to friends or family. She is an excellent acupuncturist that truly cares and goes above and beyond.
TRY IT! You will not be disappointed.
My experience with Jessica has been a journey back to health. I had a variety of symptoms causing me to be feeling not well. Jessica’s diagnosis seems to be accurate and her treatments on point; I no longer feel low energy, tired, hot, sick. My symptoms also included emotional distresses that were seemingly challenging. The treatments Jessica administered over the months of working with her helped me to become calmer. I’ve been more able to deal with my emotions from a clear perspective. I would say Jessica has established a treatment to de-stress and to help regain health of those physical burdensome related to stress. Thanks Jessy!
I was recovering from surgery and had issues with my neck and back and overall aching and lethargy. After several sessions with Jessica having both acupuncture and some cupping my body generally felt looser and I had fewer aches. This also helped with my mental state, as I had been feeling quite down after the surgery due to the tiredness and aching I was feeling. One very notable area where I have felt tremendous improvement is in my hands. Jessica focused on them at one of our sessions and after a couple of days I felt so much improvement and continue to do so.
