Very impressed! Great acupuncture, well organized front desk. Liz is fantastic, and I'm not a fan of needles. Finally got some relief from back and neck pain. Looking forward to a few more sessions!

I highly recommend Oliver Leonetti at Innergate Acupuncture! I have seen him for the last 12 years for various ailments - ranging from nagging sports injuries to digestive issues to insomnia/anxiety, and he always provides the highest level of care that truly lasts. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and skilled, but he is super kind and caring and always take the time to truly listen. I always feel better after leaving my appointment. I honestly do not know what I would do without Oliver or Innergate Acupuncture! Also, I've seen several of the acupuncturists there, and they are all fantastic as well.

I can't recommend these guys enough! I have a 10 yr old competitive skier who was having some knee pain & had never had acupuncture done before...not only did these guys gently ease him into the entire process - they also helped him get back on the ski hill after the first couple of treatments I was super impressed with their professionalism & how both Liz and Casey approached his injury - now my little guy looks forward to going to his acupuncture appointments! Yay! Thank you a zillion times over for taking such good care of my little guy.

I used to think acupuncture was sort of hokey. Not total witchcraft, but definitely not the magic, cure-all that people said. Well, folks, a few months in and I can report that I'm a changed woman! Well, really, it only took one session. Terry took my whole health history into consideration and helped with everything. Anxiety, sleeplessness, colds, ankle injuries, back pain--you name it. I've come in with problems and always left improved. I'm sure all the acupuncturists are lovely, but I want to stress how awesome Terry is. She takes my concerns seriously without making me feel like I'm at a stuffy doctors office. She approaches her work with humor and friendliness and is spot on with her treatment. Terry has made me feel comfortable from the get-go and has made my weekly appointments something for me to look forward to. My friends all have heard me rave about her, so I'd say everyone I know should go see her, but then I may never be able to squeeze in my appointments again! Just kidding, of course. Also, big props to the front desk staff too. They have been super kind and helpful when guiding me through insurance issues or unexpected after work traffic. I'd highly recommend Inner Gate SE to anyone with any ailment!

Wow such an amazing place! I have been going here for a while and every time I leave happier, healthier, and less stressed. Terry is amazing and is so attentive, kind hearted, and genuine! I always feel heard and listened to by her and she always does her best to access every thing plus more. I absolutely love her and highly recommend this place.

I've been going to Inner Gate Acupuncture since I moved to Portland in 2016. When I first started going, I was in treatment for a previous injury involving disc herniation, torn psoas and groin, and back pain. Later, I fell at work, and suffered a cervical spine and shoulder strain/sprain. I began seeing Oliver once a week at that point, and he was honestly, the only reason I felt better every week. I moved to Austin, and miss them every day. This office sincerely has every part of my big ole heart. Oliver's knowledge was able to tackle to injuries as they would mold and morph, and he constantly gave relief. I never left there feeling the same - always better. Plus, they all have you laughing or smiling every time you're there. They're considerate, attentive, and insanely intelligent. I don't write reviews, but I feel as if someone changes your life, you should say something.

I have been seeing Erik for acupuncture for about six months - initially coming for plantar fasciitis. I was impressed at the holistic approach he took - looking at the entire body not just in the main area I was experiencing pain. My heel problem is now gone and I've continued to come in regularly to deal with other issues - and also just to feel better. I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed after an appointment. All the staff are friendly and professional, and Erik is a joy!

Kristina H.

I've been meaning to write this for some time and am finally getting to it! This place is saving me - Erik and his staff are incredible - truly an oasis of healing. I have been dealing with a few issues and each is being addressed with great care and expertise. I actually feel better when I leave (and days after - a miracle!). Erik listens with depth and really tackles everything down to the finest point. I ask a million questions and he has answers and then some. I can't recommend this office enough. They are compassionate and kind and fun (an added bonus!).

This is an excellent place to come for accupuncture. They treat you very well and the accupuncturist I use, Terry, got me through my sciatica which had plagued me for three months before I went to see her. She really cares and spends time listening to you and understanding the problem you are experiencing. Her technique is excellent as well. I highly recommend her. The office staff is always helpful as well. I have never waited very long for an appointment so the scheduling is on time as well.

I want to share my experience at Inner Gate Acupuncture because It was better than I could have ever imagined. I am a collegiate football player that suffered from severe lower back pain. I had worked 6 months with our team trainers to alleviate my pain but had no success. When I returned to Portland my brother encouraged me to try acupuncture due to the success that he had with it. Extremely uncomfortable around needles I trusted my brother and tried it. The first session Erik was extremely accommodating and I barley felt the needles. Before I started sessions, I was running a mile 3 times a week and every time I would experience extreme pain in my lower back after one lap but would push through the pain. After 2 sessions I could run 2 laps before the pain set in and after 6 sessions, I could run a full mile without experiencing any pain. The results that I got were remarkable and I am so grateful that I gave acupuncture a try. I hope my story will encourage everyone that reads it to give acupuncture a try and see if it is right for you.

I am so thankful to have found Terry for acupuncture. She is incredible at what she does and and truly listens. I really can’t recommend her highly enough. The facility at Inner Gate is very clean, staff is friendly and organized and they are taking safety precautions during this time of Covid.

D1 football player suffered a shoulder dislocation from season. Got in with Erik Isaacman and really helped with my range of motion and imbalance. Great people at the front desk and did all this during COVID. Highly recommend them!

I have been seeing Erik for a knee problem that I thought there will be no solutions left but a surgery. After having PT twice a week for almost two months with not much improvement, I decided to see Erik as the ultimate alternative before contacting a surgeon. I can't say enough how Erik's treatments helped managed my pain and get rid of some. His care is absolutely amazing; he is a healer! Not only that, but his ability to connect with each patient, his responsiveness to feedback, professionalism and friendly manners makes him a perfect partner for the alternative care.

I see Tanya, who is wonderful! Their whole team is organized and its a great facility. I feel very cared for during my visits.

I had not used them for acupuncture but the over the phone staff was so nice enough to give me information on an alternative acupuncture location that is covered by my insurence. Wonderful people there!

Allison Shutt

February 19, 2020.

My previous acupuncturist is no longer covered by my insurance, so I had sadly had to find replacement. I do believe in divine timing, as the need to find a new acupuncturist brought me to someone who is not only acutely precise with their craft, but also carries a wealth of knowledge about muscles, movement, injury and repair. As someone who puts their body under a lot of physical duress and stress through high intensity physical activity, coming to see Erik has proven to be exactly what I needed!

Teri Augustyn

October 6, 2019.

I’m so happy I started coming to Inner Gate Acupuncture! After trying everything for my neck/jaw pain, it wasn’t until I started coming here that I found any long term relief. Terry has been wonderful. She always knows exactly what to do and she’s spot on with her treatment. She always listens to my concerns and answers all my questions. I never feel judged or rushed and she’s fun to chat with too! I’ve seen Erik and he’s awesome as well and so is the front desk staff. This place is the best!
