Neil S. Bernardi-Wright, L.Ac., FABORM

I was referred to Neil by my primary care physician for extreme hot flashes. My hot flashes were so severe that I was losing sleep and it was impacting my ability to concentrate at work. I have been under Neil’s care for about two months and this has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I no longer have hot flashes. I am able to sleep through the night and my focus at work is on what is relevant –no longer getting distracted by fairly embarrassing moments of red face sweating. I look forward to my acupuncture appointments as Neil is a great listener and practitioner. Acupuncture with Neil is now part of my health care regimen. If you have any questions about acupuncture, my recommendation is to meet with Neil and try it!

I was referred by my OB GYN who practices in the same office as Neil. I came to him for back pain and anxiety. After two epidurals for back pain I was left with a serious case of anxiety and my back still was not healed. Neil worked on me and after several visits my anxiety is almost gone and my back is on the mend. He is a great listener and he took the time to talk to me about probiotics. He even convinced me to try raw saurkraut and it works. If you’ve found this page and my review and are considering acupuncture I highly recommend Neil. Acupuncture is now part of my health regimen for life!

Neil is an excellent acupuncturist who has successfully seen me through both of my pregnancies. His treatment was also able to make a flu go away during my 1^st pregnancy several years ago that knocked several (non pregnant!) colleagues out of action for several days.
His treatments have also helped to reduce cold symptoms and helped me to sleep better. He is very kind, gentle and attentive. Listens well and explains his treatments. Thanks, Neil!

I was referred to Neil by my physician for intense hot flashes I was having about every 2 hours. I would perspire profusely and at times I would be so warm I felt nauseated. I also would wake up in the middle of the night with my sheets soaking wet which disrupted my sleep. I did not want to use hormone therapy so despite my being jumpy around needles I decided to give it a try. It was the best decision I could have made. My intense hot flashes are gone! After the first treatment my hot flashes significantly decreased in intensity. After two I sessions I had one mild warm flush to my face every other day. Today I rarely have any warm flashes. Working with Neil has changed the quality of my daily life. I do feel so much better.
Neil is such a calm, kind practitioner who spends time listening to your health issues. I have received excellent care in such a nurturing environment. I look forward to my acupuncture sessions because I leave refreshed and stress free. Going to Neil for acupuncture has been a wonderful gift.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NEIL BERNARDI-​WRIGHT!

I just recently began my journey into acupuncture. I have to admit that I wasn’t sure what to expect and it took me a while to even sign up for a consultation. I’ve spent several years suffering from back pain with no real fixes along the way. Neil has truly been great. He is always open to questions and provides me with tips I can do myself at home to help alleviate my pain and try to strengthen my body as a whole. I felt like he really wanted to know about me as a person when taking on my case, rather than just reading off the survey forms. He’s always open for questions, and even if I don’t have them, I appreciate that he’s constantly checking in. This has helped me start to find how acupuncture fits into my life and my pain management/​treatment along with the exercises and stress relief I’ve been working on.

After just 3 months of seeing Neil regularly for infertility treatments I am pregnant! I am so grateful and can’t say enough about how wonderful I think he is. He has great bedside manner and he always takes the time to listen to what is going on with me. I am so relaxed when I leave his office that I have learned to book my appointments later in the day so it isn’t a problem if I get nothing else done that day :)
If you have been having a hard time getting pregnant, or even if you just need some balance restored in your life I highly recommend giving Neil a call!

I’ve been going to Neil regularly for 13-​years and have been (obviously) very happy with his services. I had chronic colitis and sinusitis for years, and acupuncture has pretty much kept me disease free. He has also helped keep my immune system stable. He is a good listener and has great advise — plus he is very personable.

I can’t say enough good things about Neil. He is simply the best. He is patient, intuitive, knowledgeable and very caring. He really listens, and spends the time necessary to plan the best possible treatment at each visit. He has helped improve my health on all levels. If you are looking for an acupuncturist in Los Gatos, or in Santa Cruz (he has an office there as well), please do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with Neil. You won’t be sorry. :-)

My accupuncture experiences with Neil has been stellar. He is extremely knowledgeable about accupuncture. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking accupuncture. He is very kind, takes time to understand and know his clients and each session is customized for the health concerns I have at that time. I am delighted to have him as my partner in improving my health. He is the best!

The acupuncture experience with Neil is great and he is warm and welcoming.
