Copley Acupuncture

Marcy is the best. She takes the time to figure you out and create a plan that works.

Marcy White is truly amazing. She is literally changing my life. And I am not exaggerating or being dramatic!
I came to her about 6 weeks ago for a longstanding issue. Acupuncture had been helpful for me in the past and I wanted to try it again. However, something was always missing from the process. until I met Marcy! While I saw improvements before, they were NOTHING compared to the progress I am making with Marcy. I am essentially pain free and feel liberated, honestly. Taking medication is not an option given some horrible side effects I experienced and thanks to Marcy, I feel like I can manage any pain/​discomfort with acupuncture and dietary changes. Amazingly, I have experienced little to no pain since I started seeing Marcy. I started out going twice a week and now am going weekly given my progress.
As others have written, Marcy is not only extremely intelligent and knowledgable, but she is also kind, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor! It is a joy to be able to meet with her. She explains everything to you in a helpful way and does everything she can to make you feel comfortable and more at ease. I barely even feel when she puts the needles in (except that one in my head). Lol. But, it was actually kind of a funny experience and we laughed about it. And that was my first session! That should tell you how wonderful she is and how trustworthy she is-​I had no hesitation about seeing her again.
The office is warm and inviting, exceptionally clean, and just a very calming place to be. I find such peace when I have the needles in and feel so much more relaxed and in balance afterwards.
I have recommended Marcy to a few friends and will continue to do so. I am SO grateful to have found her!

The other reviewers aren’t exaggerating: Marcy White is amazing.
I came to Copley Acupuncture in hopes of improving my sleep. But to my surprise, sleep wasn’t the only thing acupuncture helped. After my very first visit, my persistent cat allergies were significantly improved. Those improvements have remained, and over several more visits, I’ve also begun sleeping much better and feeling more relaxed. I truly feel significantly healthier since I started acupuncture treatment.
The actual process is totally relaxing – another surprise. On your first visit, which takes about 2 hours total, Marcy reviews a detailed health intake form with you and learns all about your body. Once she’s gotten a bead on your issues, she has you lay on a comfortable massage table in a well-​heated room, usually with socks off. The needles pinch a bit going in, but after a second, you can’t feel them any more. Marcy will leave you with the lights off, soft music playing, and a heat lamp keeping your feet warm for 20 – 30 minutes while the needles work their magic. I’ve come close to falling asleep during treatment.
Marcy herself is really fun to talk to and does a nice job bridging the Eastern philosophies behind acupuncture with concepts from Western medicine. I’m still not sure I totally buy into the ideas behind acupuncture, but there’s no denying it’s helped me feel better, and I appreciate how knowledgeable Marcy is about the history and application of acupuncture. She’s always happy to explain why she is doing something.
Acupuncture with Marcy is not as expensive as I had feared, especially after a discount for my health insurance. I’m able to pay by credit card and instantly receive an email receipt. Honestly, I would still go even if it cost more, because it is so relaxing and it has helped me so much.

I can’t say enough about how fantastic Marcy is. I started seeing her in February after becoming completely frustrated with my doctor not taking my concerns seriously and wanting to prescribe medication after medication. After just one session I felt a million times better and after 5 weeks, I was a brand new person. She has improved my quality of life immensely.
One of the greatest things about Marcy is how at ease she puts you. I feel like I’m meeting a friend for coffee and getting an awesome little treat at the end. You can tell her anything without any judgment and you can tell she wants to do anything she can to help you.
I see her about once a month now and I look forward to each and every session. I would recommend her to anyone.

I started seeing Marcy for acupuncture almost 2 years ago for migraines, neck/​shoulder pain, and some other health issues. I loved the experience from the very beginning and would never go anywhere else in Boston. I have returned time and time again for various complaints and ailments and her treatment has always helped.
The bottom line: Her treatment is effective.
What’s even better than that? She really cares about you and your health, like really. I wish western medicine could only be so enlightened!
She takes a holistic approach, trying to understand you and your body in the context of your life circumstances. She understands how it all fits together and explains it to you, which is really cool. While she doesn’t do herbs, she offers guidance on supplements, herbal teas, and other ideas to support your body’s recovery, health and wellness (but she can also refer you to one). She takes her time with each patient, asking a lot of questions and you never feel rushed. I always feel like the most important person when I am in her office, even if I haven’t been there for months.
The office and waiting area itself is amazing. You can read and drink hot tea while you wait. It’s very comfortable visually and physically in the waiting area and both treatment rooms. She is very professional, trustworthy, and extremely caring… plus way knowledgeable about her stuff! Her hours are flexible and she can usually get you in really quickly!
I fully recommend Marcy White if you are considering acupuncture for the first time, are looking for a new practitioner, or just moved and are trying to find the right person for treatment. Her office is very centrally located and easy to access wherever you live in the boston/​metro area.
In my opinion, this is one of the best steps you can take for your health.

I highly reccomment Marcy. If you’re interested in talking to someone with a holistic and practical approach to your health, she’s your gal. She is a great listener and you never feel rushed. I was able to discuss all of my health concerns in a very respectable and professional atmosphere. I went to see her about 5 times; each visit was completely worth it. After each visit I felt better. I haven’t had to return yet –I’m healed.

Copley acupuncture is amazing! I seriously feel as though it changed my life. I work on the computer a lot, and thus have had some major wrist and back issues. Acupuncture and cupping have made a major difference — when I leave I feel like I have just had a massage. I have sent friends who have had migraine trouble and they too have had great results. I have also gone in for ear and sinus problems and headaches — all with great results.
Marcy’s office is very convenient to the T, the hours are flexible (after work), and the office is very relaxing and clean.
The other great thing is that acupuncture is covered by my FSA/​HSA — so I can use pre-​tax dollars.

Marcy White is excellent. I have worked on several medical conditions with her with great success. She uses Japanese acupuncture needles which are thinner than the Chinese ones, so less pain! She is very professional but a lot of fun as well. Her office is very clean and she is very careful to maintain a hygienic atmosphere. She doesn’t prescribe herbs, but she can make a referral to a good herbalist.

Marcy White is terrific — she knows various ways to approach a problem and always seems to be in search of more learning, which keeps her very current and knowledgeable on the latest techniques and protocols.
I started seeing her when I quit smoking (and its been none months) and she helped me tremendously (I’m still smoke-​free!). I’ve since worked with her to improve my sleep and a myriad of other things to improve my overall health.
Her office is clean and comfortable, and treatments are affordable. She practices various/​a combination of styles, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean acupuncture, as well as other alternative treatments.

Marcy White,
.,
.,
., is my hero.
After a back surgery for a herniated disc in 2003, I could find no relief from pain. I tried modern medicine, and nothing helped. A friend recommended that I try acupuncture, and since then it has become a monthly routine.
Marcy really took the time to get to know me in an extended first appointment. Thereafter, I started hour-​long weekly sessions, and eventually, graduated to once-​a-​month treatments.
Marcy uses all of the traditional tools of acupuncture, and she takes the initiative to change her treatment plan based on what my body is telling her and what is happening in my life.
The office is easy to get to (near the Copley Square green line stop), and the ambiance is wonderful. Marcy provides an assortment of teas to sip, and plays relaxing music during the session. She also gives a discount for Blue Cross Blue Shield and Harvard Pilgrim insurance holders, but even without it, her prices are more than reasonable ($ 75/​session). You can even prepay online at her Web site (
) if you like.
Marcy has changed my life. If you’ve ever considered acupuncture, march right down to Copley Acupuncture and meet this young, vibrant, very cool and extremely knowledgeable woman.
