Turning Point Center, LLC

“Hi, I’m Dan Close and I came to the Turning Point Center because I have seasonal allergies.

Ever since I came to Eugene in 1974 I had severe allergies in February, March, April, May, and June. I attempted to manage these allergies through a variety of procedures: Medicine, avoidance, over-the-counter medications, masks, everything.

My wife had been telling me for years that I should try acupuncture but I was just a little nervous or leery about that. One day she persuaded me to go see an acupuncturist… I heard a good report on Tom Williams, and the Turning Point Center was so close to the University that I came over. I think this is my fourth or fifth year, having my seasonal allergies treated.

It’s an unbelievably effective treatment in that you come prior to the onset of the major allergens from the trees and grasses and you sort of build up the ability to counter them. I don’t know how. I’ve never really figured out how it works. But what’s interesting is you come for a period of time and you kind of build up and then go away for a awhile. I usually come three separate sequences of time: in the middle of February, late March to early April and then mid-May to June. That seems to be an effective way to treat my seasonal allergies and I would encourage you to do the same.”

“After I was hit by a car door while riding my bike, I came to Tom because of the persistent pain from liver lacerations and crack/bruising of the ribs. It was five months after the accident and the pain would not go away. Tom was very straight with me about what he could provide, how it would help me, and where he was not sure if it would help.

I went through three months of treatment and did not have any pain to speak of when doing day to day activities. I returned a month and a half later because a little pain had returned. Tom taught me how to use moxibustion, which again alleviated the pain (and helped in a different ailment that had bothered me for years prior). Tom and his group did an amazing job with my physical ailment. I would recommend Tom to anyone, even if there are no ailments, just because of the good feeling you have after visiting the office.”

“I love the way I was treated at Turning Point. I was treated like my concerns mattered. Turning Point staff has been nothing but professional and courteous! My experience with the medical field has been negative. At the first accupuncture treatment I was able to sleep soundly and when I got up, I was able to move better and pain free! Each treatment was beneficial to continue with freedom of movement and pain relief. Doctors prescribe pain relievers that have an adverse effect of not being able to think clearly or work properly. Accupuncture is a form of pain relief without negative effects. I feel more energetic and content! Thank you Turning Point! “

“Tom takes time to listen and is present with you. He cares and is attentive. The office staff is warm, caring and reliable. Tom is one of the few acupuncturists in town who does Japanese style acupuncture. It is gentle and effective. You’ll be glad you chose Turning Point Center.”

“I had suffered for over a year with chronic neck and shoulder pain. Tom and the staff at Turning Point were wonderful! I had tried everything with no results. Tom’s clear explanations and warm, caring approach helped me so much. Thanks for everything!”

–Rebecca Easton, Eugene, OR

“Tom and Janeen are both well-educated and experienced practitioners who listen deeply to my health concerns and treat me with utter respect and kindness. I recently had a series of acupuncture treatments for shingles that helped immensely, and I have seen Tom over a number of years for different health issues. His gentle and compassionate spirit is very soothing, and brings healing to my body and mind. The Turning Point Center staff, as well, offer caring and knowledgeable support.”
