Laurie Terzo, DAOM, LAc, FABORM

I didn’t think acupuncture would work, but I was willing to try anything for my headaches and inflammation and insomnia. A friend recommended Laurie, so I decided to give it a shot in the summer of 2015 after a long stretch of headache induced insomnia. Honestly, I felt better even after my first visit with Laurie. Laurie’s approach takes holistic to the next level. I can’t thank her enough for my renewed health and healthy mindset. Not only is she amazing at her work, she has a great personality and it is always a pleasure to visit her.
On the business side, I was happy that she took my insurance and that she runs a very organized practice. Never had an issue with payments or insurance. She makes it very easy.

Over a year ago, my doctor recommended me to Laurie to help with muscle tightness in my back. I had previously tried everything: heating pads, hot baths, stretches, and all kinds of massages — none of which worked very well. From the first day I started seeing Laurie, I had relief and my back was no longer hard as a rock! Laurie is not only an incredible acupuncturist, but also an absolutely wonderful person — she listens too all your concerns and requests, and I can honestly say I look forward to every appointment!

I have been seeing Laurie Terzo for the last 10 years. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write a review! When I first considered acupuncture way back when, I was very skeptical. My husband urged me to go to an acupuncturist for my shoulder pain, and since Laurie accepted my insurance and had amazing reviews and credentials, I decided to see her. Her treatment and care worked wonders, and I have been seeing her off and on through the last decade for different problems that I have had. I have also seen other acupuncturists, but they didn’t seem nearly as knowledgeable, technical or personable as Laurie.
So far, I have seen Laurie for:
— Muscle pain behind my right shoulder blade and neck
— Muscle pain in my middle back
— Pain in my sacrum area from carrying around my toddler
— Fertility and pregnancy-​related things
— Insomnia
Her treatment has made real, significant differences in resolving/​healing the above issues. She turned me from being a skeptic of Oriental Medicine to a believer in its effectiveness with credentialed and knowledgeable practitioners.
I also appreciate her conservative approach, and genuine concern for you to get better. She never advocates a «standing appointment» (ie — you need to always see her every week). Her goal is to get you better as quickly as possible, not to make money. I appreciate that very much.
A huge «nice to have» is that she also accepts insurance for covered diagnoses and processes claims when you are within her insurance networks. She is in many insurance networks, and her assistant takes the time to call and figure out your coverage for you. It was so nice and convenient! Also, I need to give a special shout out to Bianca, her assistant. Bianca is great, efficient, and proactively follows up on administrative items. I called on a Friday evening about a potential billing issue to my credit card, but I learned over the weekend that I was wrong. Bianca called ME on Monday to see if there was still any issue. What service!
Anyways, if you are looking for a legitimate, caring, effective acupuncturist, please see Laurie Terzo. Note that she normally works on only Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

I came to Laurie as I had a difficulty conceiving. Laurie was amazing! She listened to my frustrations, empathized, and every time I left her office I felt relaxed and hopeful. And guess what? Shortly after the completion of the treatment course, I got pregnant! I have a healthy boy now. And I am very grateful to Laurie! Moreover, she sent us a luxurious present (Under the Nile organic swaddle blankets) when the baby was born. I can’t recommend her enough. I am so happy that I found her!

This review is long overdue. I’ve been seeing Laurie for a year now, and I can’t emphasize enough what a great acupuncturist — and listener she is. She was able to help solve hormonal issues that all my other doctors couldn’t. What I appreciate the most about Laurie is that she looks at everything from an Eastern and Western viewpoint. If I ask her a question she doesn’t know the answer to — she finds out and gets back to me — and is so prompt over email.
I continue to see Laurie to help with other areas of health, and also as a sounding board for anything that may be bothering me health wise. I can honestly say I value her health opinion more than anyone, and I trust she will guide me to someone else if she doesn’t have the answers.
I never knew how powerful acupuncture could be. It’s really incredible, and I can’t say enough positive things about Laurie. And Kristi too — her office assistant is fantastic!

Laurie Terzo is a true healer with her acupuncture and herbal remedies. I have been consistently seeing Laurie now for about 6 months. I feel like I have overall better health, not to mention lower stress after I have seen her. I highly recommend Laurie, and so glad she works in the same building!

I’ll never go to another acupuncturist as long as I live in the city! Simple as that! Laurie is amazing and she truly cares about her clients. I’ve been seeing her for the past two years and she’s helped me feel a million times better during my most difficult transition periods.

Teresa’s right, I don’t just go around saying people are fabulous. That’s why places that don’t get 5 stars and just 4 stars shouldn’t be offended. That’s just how I am.
But Laurie’s amazing! She was recommended to me by Michelle Graves (who is also amazing) when Michelle was on leave.
I never thought about this until I read someone else’s review but Laurie really is a wonderful listener with a calming presence. I’ve had a lot of stress in my life in the past from work and a car accident. Seeing Laurie improves my pain level and overall health. But I always leave Laurie’s office much more relaxed and less stressed — I think in part it’s her presence in addition to her skills as an acupuncturist.
She takes care of muscle spasms, allerigies, insomnia, stress to just name a few. Like Teresa said, she will also offer suggestions for herbal remedies (even via email) and never pushes a sell which I’ve experienced before.
I’m torn between Laurie and Michelle because both are the best. Bonus is Laurie has night hours. I do miss her Saturday hours though because it was nice to have the option to not cram in a session during the work week.
She also accepts Blue Cross PPO.

Laurie Terzo was referred to me by another accupuncturist when I could not get an appointment soon enough. I was lucky enough to be fit in at Laurie Terzo’s office within a couple of days.
I had a persistent cough over several weeks, had tried Western medicine to no avail. One meeting with Lauie Terzo alleviated the cough and provided me with sustained relief.
She spent considerable time on in-​take and explained techniques and theories behind the acatual treatment. Her office staff was efficient and accommodating.
I would whole heartedly recommend her.

i can’t say enough good things about laurie! her space is so relaxing and i enjoy my weekly and sometimes twice weekly sessions. and the best part– she’s never messed up on my insurance! my old place used to mess up all the time so i’d be on the phone with bloody bluecross at least once a week. ICK!
appointments are super easy to make and she was appts until 7pm during the week. very convenient location and a gentle style. I love it!

my friend recommended Laurie as a great acupuncturist and also as a great person. this was a really strange statement, because 1. this friend just doesn’t say things like that, and 2. how does she know that about someone she sees for only a short time in a professional setting?
a few sessions later, i feel the same way. she’s very warm and makes you feel a partner in your healthcare. She sometime sends me home with web resources or exact quantities of supplements that would be good for me. Her office is beautiful and very serene. I’m relaxed as soon as i walk in the door.

I have been seeing Laurie for the past ~7 months. She has been a tremendous help and a very important part of my journey to get pregnant. What I appreciate most is her truly holistic approach — mind, body and spirit. She’s an acupuncturist and psychiatrist for me; using all physical and on-​physical information to assess my condition.
Laurie is compassionate, knowledgeable, accessible and kind! She is a gem.

So far, I’ve only had my initial appointment, but I loved the whole experience. Laurie was very understanding, listened well and made me feel very comfortable. She goes out of her way to keep in touch through email or phone as well, in case you need any extra advice. Her office is peaceful and serene. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking an acupuncturist! I am looking forward to my visit next week.

Laurie is amazing! She is the sweetest, most understanding person. She is a great listener and is very thorough on tracking your progess. I’m not someone who can relax easily but everytime i’m in the soothing office i become very at ease. Acupuncture is pretty awesome, i recommend it highly. Laurie is the best, and she is very talented at what she does! She also treats you like a good friend which is great.

If there were more than 5 stars, I would give a higher rating. I’ve been seeing Laurie regularly for over 2 years, and she is a true healer. She guided me into a much healthier place in my life, and helped me achieve an existence without migraines. I feel she knows me better than any physician has — attentive to my health, how it changes and suggesting what can be done. She is a very special person, in fact I would say she is a gem.

Laurie Terzo is compassionate and professional. She definitely takes more time and effort into finding out the status of any health issues I have than any «regular» doctor ever did! There is just something about her that conveys she really cares about «healing» you and is genuinely interested in any of your health concerns.
The office is very peaceful, and I always leave feeling very relaxed. Laurie Terzo is great.
(She also takes some health insurance– when I went I had most of the cost covered as my «specialist». I would still be going to her today if I had insurance.)

Laurie is incredible. She saves me regularly. Whether it is migraines, insomnia, stress… she takes care of it.
