Channel Acupuncture's Online Review Report Card

Matt Pesendian is an excellent acupuncturist and holistic wellness expert. His treatments are effective and efficient. After one treatment, I was able resolve a swollen jaw that could not close, another time I could not put weight on an arm from tennis use and two treatments later I was back to myself. The treatments have also supported me through a period of grieving. As a patient, I can feel Matt's holistic and heart-centered focus. He is also a true professional and makes me feel very comfortable in his treatment setting.

Went in for support with throat cancer recovery and walked out with my whole body on the road to recovery. Matt saved me B.

Absolutely outstanding practice. Came in for acupuncture for neck relief and received the works! Thanks Matt, I will definitely be back on the regular!

I am thankful to have been referred to Channel Acupuncture by Ridley-Tree Cancer Center and my oncologist. Matt is very knowledgeable, calm, patient, informative and truly amazing! My experience was really wonderful in that at first of course the thought of needles was like "Yikes!" but Matt talks you through it and answers your questions. The environment is very calming and extremely comfortable so much so during my treatments I would totally fall asleep each time. I leave each appointment wanting to jump, dance and praise how wonderful I felt. Thank you Ridley-Tree Cancer Center and Matt Pesendian.

Matt is an amazing healer, mentor and acupuncturist. I would recommend him to anyone with ailments you need addressed.

On rare occasions one is fortunate enough to receive treatments from a practitioner who is not only highly skilled in their trade, but also proceeds with a deep and genuine level of empathy. My experience with Matt Pesendian exceeded previous levels of skill and empathy received from other acupuncturists. It is a relief and deeply nurturing to be in Matt's compassionate care.

I was experiencing devastating symptoms after a series of major health issues. There was no answer in Western medicine so I went to Channel Acupunture from a friends recommendation. I appreciated the way Matt listens and asks questions to help him get the best response. The very first treatment gave incredible results. The next treatments were more uneven but after about two months I was symptom free. Now I go Mose as preventative medicine. Matt is highly professional yet relational. Wish there were 6 stars.
