I decided to look into Acupuncture as an alternative treatment for the severe nerve pain I was experiencing that was triggered by the long term use of a medication I had been taking, as well as other pain I had previously. The first time I met Dr. Gifford at Atlantic Acupuncture I could tell she is a healing soul, and dedicated to helping people like me to improve our health status and embrace hope and joy along the way. I was impressed with the beauty and peaceful calmness of the Atlantic Acupuncture Clinic on the first day, where I received a thorough review of my health history and a high tech assessment providing identification of any problem areas as well as a baseline from which we can track improvements over time. I am so impressed! Now I have an individualized plan targeting my needs/priorities and let me tell you I began feeling better day One! I am so encouraged because I have a team of staff cheering me on, and a awesomely skilled professional providing guidance, direction, recommendations, training and oversight.. Thank you Dr. Gifford! Although we are tackling my “pain” with multiple modalities (Circulation Therapy, Jade Massage, Acupuncture, Qi Gong), it is my WHOLE being which is benefiting ..as I have also seen an improvement in other conditions (decrease in symptoms of depression and anxiety, visible improvement of varicose veins, and more) I am also noticing an uptick in energy level. all in a short period of time..! I can’t wait to come back and give an update on this..! ( Oops.. forgot to tell you there is an APP used to help you stay engaged with your targeted exercises and stress reduction activities etc.. it has kept me on track.. creative and effective) Did I mention that I highly recommend Dr. Gifford and Atlantic Acupuncture! Blessings!

Dr. Gifford knows her stuff and even better gets to know you and your needs quickly. She takes her time with you, using the methods that work best with your needs, and works quickly. No need to fear acupuncture, it's my first time and I'm enthralled with the practice. She is very good at what she does. Everything is clean and everyone wears their mask. You go home feeling totally relaxed. My favorite thing, though, is seeing people come and go with smiles on their faces, especially the couples.

I highly recommend the Jade massage table. I haven't felt this relaxed in months. They are very friendly and knowledgeable and the place is so comfortable and clean.

I have been going to Dr. Gifford for about a month for migraines and other pain. So far I've had a huge reduction in all my pain. Not only that, she is great to work with and it's just an overall pleasant experience with her, her staff and the environment. I highly recommend you try her out...I'm glad I did (and I was a skeptic!).

Wow, what a place to get top of the line service. Dr. Gifford makes you feel like a new person. She gives you top notch EVERYTHING. It's truly a remarkable place. A whirlwind experience. Absolutely loved everything about my experience. Guys the inside of the location is beautiful and her office manager is great also. What an AWESOME EXPERIENCE can't wait to go for my third treatment.

My husband is a stroke survivor with residual deficits on the right side as well as his speech; we found Dr. Gifford when she had an office in Bel Air, Maryland and started Acupuncture treatments along with the herbal foot soaks. These sessions were so relaxing for Brian and truly helped his well being during a difficult time in his life. Highly recommend all that she offers her patients and wish we could see her more often.

One of the most thorough acupuncture experiences I have ever had. My issues were carefully discussed and I felt very comfortable leaving my treatment in the DOC's hands. I will be continuing to see her for as long as I am on the peninsula. This is a true treasure to have here in the Ocean Pines area.

I had the good fortune of meeting Dawn Gifford while in the area visiting family. She is very knowledgeable and you can tell she genuinely wants to help her patients. She exudes a positive energy that is both uplifting and comforting. Her new office space is beautiful and it is easy to see how much thought she puts into every detail of your treatment. I had a facial rejuvenation treatment as well as the herbal foot soak and acupuncture. It was a great way to be introduced to Chinese medicine. If you are fortunate enough to live in the area (or if you are visiting from out of town like I was), you owe it to yourself to stop in to meet Dr. Gifford and her wonderful staff.

Dr. Gifford is awesome! It’s unfortunate that the VA only approved a certain amount of visits for me, but the work she did in that small of a time frame, helped me! I learned to relax and remove the body! Moxa is some great stuff! Thanks Dr. G!

Had my first Jade massage experience last night. The difference just after one session is amazing. I was very curious what this would be like and it's like a giant set of manly hands wearing heated gloves firmly supporting and massaging your back. I will definitely be back for more sessions.

Great service and experience. Dr. Gifford is an amazing professional. I saw results very soon after I started my treatment. I love that she offers a holistic approach to treating illness and to maintaining the wellbeing.

Dr. Gifford is amazing!! I am now 30 weeks pregnant with our little foot soak/acupuncture baby!! I highly recommend Dr. Gifford. She is truly amazing at what she does and is very knowledgeable!

Dr. Dawn is Wonderful! I started seeing her for chronic headaches & fibromyalgia in February. She makes you feel comfortable immediately on walking in her office & my treatments have not only helped with my head & body aches, I've relaxed & feel less stressful.
