I have been working with Mackay for years. He listens well, explains what he is doing carefully, and keeps learning new things!

I have been seeing Mackay for over 10 years to help deal with many issues such as my adrenals and other stressors and he has helped me immensely! I highly recommend 5 element acupuncture with him!

I recently went to Mackay Rippey, because my lower back was bothering me. Now I feel much better than I ever expected.

1st time ever going to a acupuncturist and I'm so thrilled with the outcome with 6 of the 8 visits been feeling much better! Dr. Rippey. You are Stellar to my darkness.

I want to share my experiences with Mackay...first a bit of history...l am an older man who has years of neck, back & spine injuries. Prior to acupuncture I have also been to 3 or 4 pain center's & multiple visits with Dr's from Alb to Syr. I finally managed to have several years of acupuncture treatment from a wonderful & helpful Dr who unexpectedly away passed away. After several weeks of misery & searching l found Mackay in the phone book. To my good fortune he quickly scheduled me an appt & l have now been with him for several years. He quickly learned & understood my history as well as my needs... especially: 1)my desire to come off of some costly & dangerous medications 2)provide me with some relief of never ending pain & discomfort 3)provide me with flexibility in scheduling 4)applies a variety of acupuncture modalities including cupping & electro etc 5)he is extremely interesting & knowledgeable & carefully explains every procedure & treatment before we start 6)he frequently attends conference's & is current & updated within his profession 7)thorough follow up with all visits. In closing, as of yesterday, I will now be taking Tylenol & a muscle relaxant on an as needed basis only. So as for Mackay & acupuncture👍👍👍👍👍Griz Less

I am so impressed by the enthusiasm and dedication to helping clients that Mackay displays. He has taken the time to become familiar with my multitude of physical ailments as well as my mental and spiritual standings. This very attentive and caring provider has been paramount in treating my chronic pain issues. Because of our sessions I'm no longer requiring daily use of opiates just to get by. I've found hope again and I attribute my emotional and mental improvements to the successful sessions I've been experiencing. The main reason I began seeing Mackay was to treat chronic pain associated with multiple fractured ribs. My ribs have become extremely brittle and they frequently break just from coughing or sneezing. The last "confirmed", radiological testing, showed 11 fractured ribs, with18 total fractures and 5 of these ribs have torn off my sternum. The cartilage on my rightside has degenerated to the point I had 2 ribs removed because they had become entangled. I have no stability in my chest and there is no signs of healing. My acupuncture treatments has improved my pain tolerance or have decreased my pain to a point that narcotics are no longer required on a daily basis. I no longer live in fear of becoming a hopeless addict. As I extol the successful treatments, I feel it's necessary to praise Mackays genuine desire to treat my whole being. I have a plethora of medical aliments and Mackay has gone above and beyond in trying to treat them. He puts in the research and time to develop care plans to address these issues. It's so uncommon to find a provider that cares for my whole being. As we do our sessions I'm freely encouraged to discuss my thoughts and beliefs which allow a view into my emotional and spiritual status. Every session I have has been garnered to alleviate my pain and to address other issues. Nothing in life is a guarantee so my results vary session to session. However I've never had a session that did not help to some degree. The most important development of my experiences with acupuncture sessions with Mackay is TRUST, I know he will provide his best efforts to help me and other clients as well. With the knowledge that results will vary depending on numerous factors. My most comforting thoughts are in knowing Mackay won't give up trying to achieve the best outcomes available. Less
