It has been pleasure to be your Acupuncturist during my 14 years in operation here on Nantucket.
I am extremely appreciative of your continued patronage and sometimes find it hard to believe I have been an Acupuncturist for now 19 years!
For the last 5 years, I have continued to charge the same rates for my services in spite of rising expenses.
As much as I would like to maintain my rates for another year, I find that I must increase them to provide continued quality services to my valued clients.
