Acupuncture RI Dr Sara Ryan

I highly recommend Dr. Andrew Payne. I have gone to a few other acupuncturists in RI before for lower back/hip pain with little success. I felt like they were just going through the motions. Dr. Andy really focuses in on your specific issues and uses a variety of techniques to address them. I had a recent flair up and felt 80% better after my first treatment and the flair up was gone after the second. I have never had so much success with any treatment. He also has a calming, caring and relaxing presence. I am so happy to have found him!

Dr. Sara Ryan is nothing short of wonderful! After struggling with infertility, I decided to give acupuncture a try. I saw an improvement in my treatment cycles after starting acupuncture and it has also helped my anxiety significantly. Dr. Ryan checks in on your progress or next steps at each appointment and tailors that session to what is needed. Beyond the medical piece she is such a caring, compassionate person who wants success for all of her patients! I highly recommend acupuncture RI.

I have had acupuncture in several different states and over the course of many years, and Dr. Sara Ryan and Andrew Payne are by far the best. I suffer from vertigo and nerve pain (amongst other symptoms due to a chronic illness) and both Sara and Andys treatments allow me to continue to work full time and live alone. Both are incredibly kind and caring people and masters of their crafts. The office staff are great, too, and lovely to speak with on the phone when you need to get in an extra appointment! :)

Dr. Ryan is the best! She is extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and gives the best treatments. I started going in July 2020 when I was very depressed and anxious. Acupuncture was one of my last choices of treatments… and it worked! I have been going ever since. I always feel fantastic after my sessions and Dr. Ryan can help with so many things. I ended up hurting my knee this year and she used acupuncture to help it heal. It’s so easy to schedule and the office is really easy to contact. I can’t recommend Acupuncture RI enough. I don’t know where I’d be today without it!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Sara Ryan. I was struggling with infertility, and I started seeing her for acupuncture treatments. She always made me feel very cared for, and always answered all my questions. I did up getting pregnant within a month of seeing her, and I credit a lot of it to her.

I highly recommend Dr. Payne--especially when you discover that Western medicine is not helping address your medical issues. Last fall I had a major surgery to remove a portion of my intestines. After surgery I had difficulties with pain and digestion that were not resolved with medication. I went to Dr. Payne to try acupuncture--and it was a grand success! Dr. Payne is gentle, thoughtful, kind, patient and most of all skilled. He has taken the time to research best acupuncture points for my symptoms--and tried various combinations to effectively treat them. Thanks to treatments with Andy--I am finally eating again-and not in pain.

Faith and I could not be more pleased with Dr. Payne. Dr. Payne possesses the unique blend of compassion, caring and outstanding clinical ability.I have seen a dramatic reduction in my lower back pain as well as greater movement and flexibility in my everyday activities.Faith have seen a dramatic reduction in the hip pain that she presented to Dr. Payne.I would very highly recommend Dr. Payne….he is one of the BEST.

I have seen Dr. Ryan weekly for a couple of months now. I had never had acupuncture treatment prior so I was not sure what to expect, if anything. Dr. Ryan has been fantastic to work with and sincerely cares about her patients well being. I find her to be articulate, informed, and above all, easy to talk to in a therapeutic setting. The sessions are always prompt, relaxing, and hygenic.

Dr. Sara Ryan is so kind and professional. I came to Dr. Ryan after I broke my rib and pulled my back. I had never done acupuncture before, but Dr. Ryan made me feel comfortable and at ease about the process. She took time to listen to my symptoms and examine my back, and then she used a combination of acupuncture needles and a stem machine to help me heal. After my first session, my pain was really reduced and after my second session I felt almost completely healed. I am a huge fan of Dr. Ryan and highly recommend her to others.

I very much enjoyed meeting with Dr Ryan. She was very attentive, understanding, and knowledgeable. She made me feel quite comfortable during my visit and addressed any concerns regarding my treatment. The office is quite comfortable and I feel very relaxed when I leave. The treatments have really helped to minimize my discomfort and always look forward to my visits.

Dr Ryan has helped me tremendously. I am going to her for fertility acupuncture. She listens, advises and is supportive. Her treatments help with the anxiety and stress that go along with the fertility process. she is a true gem.

Dr. Payne is an incredible acupuncture practitioner! From the very first session, he understood and identified the underlying pain trauma in my back and created a tailored approach to allow me to heal. I vividly remember emerging from the first full session overwhelmed with emotion and free of pain that had been impacting me for over 10 years. Aside from the treatments, Dr. Payne was also very conscious of following up with me to make sure I retained healthy habits and continued to improve my wellbeing. I would absolutely recommend his services!

Dr. Sara Ryan has helped me tremendously. I have been a regular patient of hers for the last 7 years. Her office is warm and inviting, filled with plants and a relaxing vibe. She really listens to my symptoms and tailors my treatment for current ailments. You can tell she really cares about her patients. She has a great sense of humor and makes me laugh. I always feel better after seeing her- she has helped me treat chronic Lyme disease and back pain, among other things. She is friendly, cheerful, intuitive, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking the healing benefits of acupuncture and/or the general improved well-being that comes from moving your chi.

Dr. Ryan helped to relieve low back and hip pain I had for over 5 years. I had tried physical therapy for years and didnt see much improvement. In just a few visits I noticed significant improvement. Dr. Ryan is a very empathetic and warm person and makes you feel comfortable even if youre new to acupuncture. She was also very flexible in working with my insurance and trying to find out if it covered acupuncture. I highly recommend Dr. Sara Ryan!

Dr Ryan is an amazing Acupuncturist and person. Over the last year of working together, my personal wellbeing and spiritual growth has improved significantly. If youre thinking about trying Acupuncture in RI, this is the place to go!

I have been going to Dr. Ryan on and off for about 4 years. She has treated me for everything ranging from infertility to foot pain. Dr. Ryan is wonderful and really takes time with each and every patient. She answers all your questions and eases any concerns you may have. The atmosphere in her office is calm and relaxing. I highly recommend Dr. Ryan for anyone seeking a way to treat their pain or health concerns.

I have seen Dr. Ryan on and off since she was first recommended by a friend in 2005. She is both professional and very personable, and is a knowledgeable and skilled practitioner of acupuncture and oriental medicine. She goes above and beyond and I have been very pleased with the treatment she has provided me. I recommend her highly.

I am a week away from my 60th birthday, and have seen many skilled and compassionate people to help me sustain and improve my health. There is not a single one among them who has helped me more than Sara (Dr Ryan).She was referred to me by a friend who has lived with severe rheumatoid arthritis, whos health and quality of life have been dramatically improved with her care. I really couldnt be more grateful for the deep concern and highly skilled healing treatment she has given me during that time - and I am about 6 years past the surgeons prediction for when I would need another surgery for polyps in my sinuses. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU (a thousand times!)

Ive been seeing Dr. Ryan for 8 years and I cant recommend her highly enough; Id say she is the best Ive ever experienced. [Ive also used acupuncture when I lived in Texas, Washington DC, and Honolulu.] The process, itself, I consider to have kept me balanced and relatively free of colds and with a healthy immune response. Sara is my go to needle lady! From a very happy client, Dede

Andy provides the most amazing treatments. He takes the time to actually listen to what is going on. He is empathetic and truly cares about the outcome. Whenever Andy treats me, I feel worlds better. He is a truly knowledgeable and caring practitioner. If you are anywhere near PVD, you will benefit from one of his treatments.

Dr. Sara Ryan is a blessing. Shes patient, kind, gentle, a great listener, and a true healer. I’ve been a patient of hers for 5 years now for back/hip pain and general wellness treatments. Every session brings relief. Thank you, Sara, from all of my heart.

Dr. Ryan listens to your concerns and tries to be solution oriented. She will work with you whether your goal is pain management or fertility acupuncture. Their office is flexible with scheduling and try to accommodate your needs.

Andy is amazing! It is a blessing that I found Willow Tree Wellness to treat my anxiety and overall mental wellbeing. I appreciate Andys knowledge of holistic medicine. I have had great relief since starting my treatment.

Sara Ryan is a very passionate and helpful acupuncturist. She treated all my muscle pains, and made me relaxed. I am looking forward to visiting her practice sometime soon.

Craig H.I have been battling chronic illness and pain for many years. In that time Ive tried many therapies, conventional and alternative, and very little has offered relief. So when I first went to see Sara (Acupuncture RI), I didnt expect much, and was worried that the needles might cause additional pain. When I related these fears to Sara, she couldnt have been kinder. She really listened. She asked questions that would pinpoint the nature of my problems. She told me that we could go as slow or as fast as I wanted, and if at any time I experienced discomfort to let her know and she would back off -- but she was pretty sure that it would be painless. I laid back, breathed deeply, and tried to relax (I even closed my eyes). After a moment this of self- preparation, I told her I was ready -- she could put the needles in. At that point she let out a laugh. I already did, she said. When I opened my eyes Sara had an impish grin. She had finished setting the needle points in my legs and was about to start my torso! I never felt a thing. As my treatment progressed, about fifteen minutes into it, a deep, intense relaxation overcame me -- a warm, sleepy sense of well-being. I even nodded off for a few minutes.But did it help my pain? Yes! After a few sessions I noticed my pain had eased -- it was much more tolerable, almost like someone had turned down the volume. I noticed also that I had cut way back on my pain meds. After a few weeks my pain was nearly gone. It had shifted from a constant companion, in the forefront of my mind at every moment, to a low-level discomfort, gradually fading until it was barely noticeable It still returns once in a while, and when it does I know to go back to Sara for a few sessions, a tune up. Though, I admit this is something I enjoy, as over time I feel like Ive become friends with Sara. I really enjoy our time together. Her clinic is bright and clean, and the atmosphere is professional, warm, and nonjudgemental -- a wonderful experience from start to finish. I recommend her highly.

After attending Willow Tree Wellness I find my mental clarity to be better and am free of knee pain. Acupuncturist Andrew Payne is a very knowledgeable and kind healer who is genuinely concerned about his clients well being .

Dr. Ryan is amazing! She is a wonderful doctor, listener, and acupuncturist. The atmosphere is so safe and welcoming, and I always feel better after sessions with Acupuncture RI. Thanks !

I’ve been going to Sara for over a year now. I am a survivor from Cushing’s disease and my body still reeks havoc from the damage that was done. From day one Sara sat down with me, listened and took notes trying to help me alleviate my pain throughout my whole body. She’s been very helpful to get me back on track - I can now go to work full time and fulfill my duties there without any complications. I’m so thankful I have found Sara and her knowledge of Chinese medicine.

I was taking Gabapentin for nerve damage on one of my quadriceps, but I was experiencing some side effects so I decided on trying acupuncture for the nerve pain, and after seeing Dr. Ryan for about a month, I no longer had any nerve pain and stopped taking the medication. I have been seeing her for other medical reasons, and she consistently cures any pain that I have.

I am also doctor. When I was doing Masters of Public Health, she served me like as my primary care physician. She is cool and open to any kind of conversation, so I was able to discuss my pain, insomnia, stress, fibroid uterus, nasal polyp, eye strain. She counsels also for my life situations-I asked a lot of things about my living situations even may or may not be related to health. It was very supportive to have her during my semester. She also takes insurance for Brown students, which was extremely helpful. Ali, the old therapy dog, always positive and he was a healing for me and probably many of the patients. As a person with medical background, I have been very comfortable for me to have her to access whenever I had some concerns.

1st experience having acupuncture and cannot recommend Dr Sara more highly. She is very knowledgable, with a warm, compassionate & empathetic manner. The office environment & sessions are very relaxing & effective.

Dr. Ryan is the best! She was so helpful and patient and listened to everything I said in order to help me... I never felt rushed! She was very easy to communicate with via email and answered me promptly and squeezed me in if needed. I would highly recommend her!!

After trying all sorts of interventions to try to get pregnant (medical and naturopathic) sessions with Sara did the trick! Three babies later, she gets all of the credit. Her office is a sanctuary and her work is painless and effective. What more could you ask for?!

Every time I see Dr. Andy I feel so much better walking out than when I walked in. I have a bad back and a lot of body pain and Andy fixes me right up so I feel like a million bucks after. And it lasts, which is something I dont experience with other wellness doctors. Not sure how he does it but hes magic!

Ive seen Dr. Payne elsewhere and I would highly recommend his services. I went in with pain in my back and I walked out without pain for a few weeks. Amazing.

She is my mommy and she treats me whenever I have pain. She helps my legs when they hurt and also helps me sleep with acupuncture. It doesnt hurt me. I love acupuncture!

The treatment rooms are amazing. Sara is amazing, her receptionist is wonderful. The treatment rooms are clean and neat.

Awesome place to find some serenity and heal! Strongly recommend you try it out! She has helped me work through a lot that traditional medicine has not been able to alleviate!

Never been, but Im impressed of what others stated in their comments. Dr. Ryan seems to have great core values. I may visit some time in the future.

Dr. Ryans office is very welcoming and friendly. Im always greated with a smile from everyone there. 😊

Dr Sara and her staff are great. Acupuncture has made a huge difference in my life.

Dr. Ryan is knowledgeable, helpful and a calming presence. I cant recommend her enough!

This is my favorite appt to go to. You get so Zen, its like eating and edible.

Dr. Ryan is one of best around. Our family have been patients for years...
