For Those Who’ve Tried Everything: A New Approach To Getting Your Health Back.

I initially had a medical pulse diagnosis done at a medical fair 10 years ago. I was intrigued but did not follow up with Dr. Bob at his Acupuncture and Wellness Clinic in Poulsbo. Several years later, I ran into Dr. Bob again at another health fair and had another medical pulse diagnosis. He was describing things about my internal health that I knew were there, but had not been able to identify or resolve them with regular medical practitioners. “Enough! “ I finally said to myself. “Let’s give Dr. Bob and his wonderful team a try” at The Acupuncture And Wellness Center in Poulsbo, Washington. I’m so happy I did. Nagging stomach issues and residual pain for multiple surgeries plagued me day and night. Medical pulse diagnosis and Chinese medicine herbals to tackle these health issues was exactly what I needed. It took some commitment on my part to take the herbals 2 to 3 times a day, and report how I was feeling with periodic phone calls or visits at Dr. Bob’s clinic. I was committing to seeing this through, and Dr. Bob is such a delight to work with. His front office staff are so welcoming and friendly, making sure you know what’s expected and that you have what you need before you leave. During each session with Dr. Bob, he is 100% focused on you and your issues. There were a few times when I got a little frustrated when results were slow, but not Dr. Bob. He was so supportive and helped me understand that these things will take time to adjust and to bring all the body’s systems back into balance.

I'm here because Bob said, "I can help you reverse your heart disease and get you off of statins and Beta-blockers"...and he did! Energy reminiscent of a 30 year old, joint aches vastly diminished, improved breathing, circulation, and sleep. Lost more than 65 pounds. Sex life is ooh-la-la. Never going back to the way I was before. Yes, the diet and cost came as an initial shock. But my MDs weren't helping and offered only medications, and I knew that I was slowly dying. What were my choices? Make the money bigger than living? I went all-in. Bottom line, it works. I read all of the reviews on this site and noticed that they're either 5-star or people who's excuses kept them from doing the program and then blamed the program. The program is great. It works. It's easy. But requires some discipline not to try to cheat. Cheaters are obvious because you can see it in their health appearance. This is the best program that I have found so far to successfully recover from heart disease. What does the American Heart Association have? NADA!

I feel fantastic!!! After years of pain, from surgeries, chronic fatigue, gut problems, massive prescriptions, that caused other problems, diabetes and an inability to lose weight I am finally in a great place. I have so much energy I am exercising again, my stomach doesn't hurt. Aches and pains are massively improved. My blood sugar has gone way down. Dr Doane knew immediately what ailed me and how to fix it. I can't say enough good things. Highly recommend!!!

I was experiencing an overwhelming number of health issues when I first came to Acupuncture & Wellness Center last October. I came here looking for a health and wellness professional who would look at my body as one whole system instead of treating all my symptoms individually. I have an autoimmune disease which causes me a great deal of soft tissue pain and all kinds of systemic issues with sleep, digestion, energy levels, and mental unwellness. My body needs support beyond the pharmaceutical treatment I’m able to receive through standard health care. The care I’ve received here is just what I need to balance my body’s systems and help it function to the best of it’s ability. I’ve been treated with a high level of individualized care from the first day I came in. Following their treatment and guidance, I started to feel better within a week and since then, my quality of life has continued to drastically improve. I’ve spent a lot of money and time trying to feel better and perhaps nowhere has it been better spent than here.

I am a Childhood cancer survivor, struggled with headaches, back pain, digestion issues, anemia, anxiety/depression, and insomnia for 20 years. Western medicine helped for a while but nothing ever seemed to work long term. A family member recommended Acupuncture and Wellness because they helped with her anxiety and vertigo problems. I had a very detailed consultation and started both acupuncture and herbal therapy. I did acupuncture for about a year and a half and I am no longer struggling with headaches and back pain, and I’ve continued with herbal therapy for the past few years and have completely resolved anxiety, digestion issues, and insomnia with continued improvement in anemia and circulation. I highly recommend this practice to anyone with long-term ailments, or anyone looking to just “feel better” for any reason!

I have been visiting this clinic since September. I had a bunch of health issues that have been slowly going away with the treatment from I have been receiving. I am very happy with where my health is heading. I use the herbs daily, acupuncture as recommended as well as the diet plan I was given to reset my gut health. This was a last resort since western medicine practices DO NOT work for me. Have been on many medications as well as hospital visits that were making me more sick.. especially after getting the covid shot. I truly am thankful for finding this clinic to help with my health and will never go back to western medicine again.

Since April I’ve been a patient of the Center and can’t say enough good things about Bob Doane, his wife Anne, and the incredibly fine, friendly, and efficient staff. Had I not received my medical pulse diagnosis and started on his course of treatment, my life would be very different. I’m on the path to good health and feel so much better. What an amazing ancient practice! I can see why their office is full of awards. Go—it will change your life.

I'm feeling so much better, thanks to Bob Doane and his associates. The team there is amazing. Bob is more of an herbalist, even though I have heard he will do some accupuncture, I've yet to have him do mine, he's usually on calls and with patients. The man is a genius, he's of an older generation, not really old to me being 51, but he reminds me of my grandfather who passed 14 years ago at 84, but he reminds me of my grandfather when he was in his 70's. He's got gentle hands, and he uses them to sense your pulse in both wrists, something NO western medicine folks do. If you have trauma, like broken bones or need anti-biotics for a flu, by all means, go see a traditional western doctor, but if you are looking to heal yourself from within, to be healthy long term, and get off all those pharmacuticals that western med pushes, you want to see Bob Doane. I'll say this about price, you get what you pay for. Accupuncture should not be cheap. If your insurance covers you for a once a month visit, then you will want to find another place maybe. But see them first, I don't know all the ins and outs of your insurance. It should be noticed, they practice indirect accupuncture, if you have a headache they might put a needle in the heal of your foot or for example my left knee was bothering me and so she put needles in my elbows. My first experience with Accupuncture 30 years ago was like this, I had them from head to toe, but mainly my shins because my issue was related to my liver and digestive track. I also learned from that Chinese Medicine doctor that I needed to eat red meat and had to stop being a vegetarian. Which was difficult for a moment as I had been practicing vegetarian for almost 5 years, but he was right and I got better. My issues today are autoimmune related and menopausal. My mother had Lupus and died very young because of it. I do not want to die young since I had my son at an older age, I need to live longer in order to see him grow up. I plan on taking herbs from AWC for the rest of my life! When I first started seeing Bob, the list of ailments was SO LONG... Redness in my face and arms, really bad acne on my face, unable to sleep through the night, constant cravings for sweets and high carb- high sugar foods... aches and pains and migraines treated with NSAIDS... along with nightsweats, feeling hot ALL the time or unable to warm myself at times... just body temps all over the place... bloating and swelling of my waste, fingers, joints etc... I have only been going for a few months now and I can honestly say I feel much improved, I'm able to exercise, I don't have the cravings for sweets at night, I sleep through the night, if I do get up to P, I fall right back to sleep! I have energy througout the day and although I still need to lose weight, I feel like it is finally possible! And my skin is clear and although I have some redness from broken capilaries, I am not constantly red... I mean, folks used to say I looked flush all the time, I don't need to wear cover up anymore on my face! I do not have the bloating I used to have either and I use the bathroom regularly... I still have some issues of course but one day at a time. OH! I almost forgot, Bob does push for an almost "Paleo" diet, meat and green veggies... if you're not trying to lose weight, then he will suggest it, but doesn't "PUSH" it... my husband increased his meat eating and changed a few things, but mostly still eats the same, as we have been a meat and potatoes family for quite some time. I do need to start being more strict with my diet, and will... Right now though I am just happy to be feeling a lot better and feeling hopeful for a healthier me.

I’ve been a patient of Robert Doane for 9 years. So very thankful to have him in our backyard so to speak. My husband would always ask me, do you need to keep seeing him? My response was, I don’t feel comfortable Not seeing him. Now my husband and my whole family are patients of Bob. During our appointments we’ve seen multiple acupuncturists and doctors come in and out from all over the world to shadow and learn from Robert Doane. I was told by one of the providers from Germany you are very fortunate to have him, he’s quite possibly the best in the world at pulse diagnosis. When meeting Bob he always gives a treatment plan and pricing so there is no shock as to what you’re getting into. Payment plans are also an option. It’s hard for me at this point in my treatment to understand how Robert Doane is offering treatment so affordable. In the beginning, there is that sticker price shock but after seeing and hearing all the amazing stories it’s beyond my understanding as to why this is as affordable as it is. Robert Doane is very straight forward and confident in his treatment and is always willing to work with doctors as well. When receiving my herbs I receive a list of each herb that’s in my formula. Transparency is important to our family. If you value your health and want honesty along with it, this is the place you want to be.

Improved health in many areas: significant reduction of joint pain, improved digestion and sleep, reduced anxiety, lowered weight by 40 lbs…within four months! I feel amazing. The staff is lovely and caring.

Came to get a little pain relief. Almost 3 and a half months in and down 42 pounds. I haven't felt this good in decades. Bob, Anna, Ashley and the rest of the staff are wonderful.

I recently had the privilege of meeting Dr.Doane, who has completely surpassed all my expectations. After countless visits to various doctors, I can confidently say that this individual stands out as a true genius in his field. I am compelled to share my experience and write a review to express my utmost admiration and gratitude for his exceptional expertise and care. From the moment I stepped into his office, it was evident that this doctor possesses an unparalleled level of expertise. His extensive knowledge and understanding of medical science were truly impressive. It was evident that he has dedicated countless hours to perfecting this craft. This doctor's vast knowledge made me feel confident and assured in his abilities but more so gave me great hope! His ability to analyze my symptoms and accurately diagnose my condition was nothing short of extraordinary. -I’m truly grateful he made me believe again.

This has been an amazing experience. We new we were at a point with our health that something had to change drastically. Weight loss, energy, less pain, it's amazing. The staff is awesome too.

I've been treated by Dr. Bob Doane off and on for over 25 years. The first few times I went in were for acupuncture because I had lifted something wrong and was unable to turn my head/neck. Within a single session I had 80% of my range back, and had 100% of my range back by the 2nd session. Where I think Bob really shines is with his deep knowledge of Chinese herbs, and with reading pulses. Years ago I went to him with a top MD's working diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disorder (Wegener's granulomatosis) and which the best Seattle pulmonary specialists were unable to help me with. I could not breathe without incredibly sharp lung pain, nor could I get a decently deep breath at all. My quality of life was severely impacted and I felt like I was dying. It was terrifying. Bob did some research and began mixing up herbs. The first batch did nothing. The second batch made all the symptoms worse! But I was desperate so we kept trying different mixes. Bear in mind that this is a rare disorder. On the third try, it was like an actual miracle: I could breathe deeply for the first time in several years, and my pain was completely gone. I cannot tell you how grateful and relieved I felt. But I do feel he saved my life. I can't imagine what might have happened if I had given up after the first or second round of herbs while we worked together to find the right mix. His work is both an art and a science. Over the years I went from having to take that mix of herbs three times a day to be able to breathe/stay pain free, down to twice a day, then once a day, then finally to once a week, then once every few weeks. Herbs have done for me what modern Western medicine could not. (Don't get me wrong, I also believe in Western medicine. They both have their strengths). Decades later, I see Dr. Bob periodically and have the formula updated and tweaked. I'm in great health, and feel strongly that Dr. Bob and his skill, knowledge, and persistence in finding the right herbs to treat my rare disorder have given me my life back. He cares deeply about his patients, and my life and health are a living testimonial to that.

For any students or practitioners of Chinese medicine who are looking to learn a method that truly works and to avoid years of painstaking trial and error, look no further. I have had the sincere pleasure of shadowing the Doanes for the past year as their resident acupuncturist and it has been a real game changer and major confidence booster - It has been the mentorship experience I was always hoping for! Most students upon graduating get overwhelmed and lost in the weeds with diagnosis and treatment, but the approach at their wellness center is logical, scientifically based, highly effective, and founded on almost 30 years of clinical experience. I cannot speak highly enough of Bob and Anne Doane - they are exceptional teachers, highly knowledgeable and experienced practitioners, deeply compassionate healers, and wonderful family people. Every day I feel SO grateful to be a part of such an amazing practice at a clinic that really feels like “family.” No where else can a new practitioner see upwards of 25 patients a day - a volume that really lends itself to invaluable learning experience. I also have to mention that I’m a huge fan of the Doane’s teaching website - it’s a treasure trove of knowledge that Bob and Anne have amassed over several years that will really take your practice and skills to the next level. I also have a tremendous amount of respect for the structure, quality, and flow of their practice. Instead of operating as a “band-aid” clinic in which you may see a patient 1-3 times and never know if you actually helped, the Doane’s have created a system in which patients will experience a total or near complete resolution of major and chronic health issues over the course of a few months (typically around 4-6 months) a type of dedication, thoroughness, and follow-through that is unheard of in our medicine. Learning from and practicing with Bob and Anne was the best decision I have made for my budding career - these guys are the real deal!

Coming from a western medicine point of view I was very skeptical at first. I decided to give it a try only because one of my friends is being treated at the clinic with (to me) incredible results. To see someone’s health turned around the way Bob and Ana were able to do it’s truly marvelous. Since I myself joined about a year ago, my health is also improving considerably and for this, I am very grateful. The staff is very friendly, professional and accommodating and I have no reservations recommending this clinic to my friends and family.

Bob Doane and his clinic changed my life. I was struggling with my health for years and tried just about everything under the sun until I finally found the acupuncture and wellness center. I would give them 10 stars if that was possible. I strongly recommend this clinic.

Excellent care and great staff. I highly recommend them.

Bob and his staff are wonderful! I had never done acupuncture before prior to my treatment here, mainly because I don’t like needles. The method Bob uses is basically painless. Highly recommend if you’ve never had acupuncture before and are hesitant like I was. As for the herbal medicine, I have been sleeping better, getting stronger, and my anxiety is going away since starting that part of the treatment. The amount of knowledge Bob has is incredible, and I am extremely thankful I found him and the clinic!

The Wellness Center has literally changed my life for the better. I was taking prescription medications for a form of RA and with the expertise of Robert Doane and staff, I no longer have any symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and have completely eliminated two of three medications. I am absolutely thrilled and thankful. I highly recommend The Wellness Center.

I’ve been going for over a year and I feel so much better. I’ve been able to get off my blood pressure medicine, have more energy, and sleep better. The staff is very kind and professional.

Great people, great place to treat your health problems.

I had the pleasure of graduating from the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in China with honors. I went on to complete a PhD program at Hong Kong Baptist University in scientific research in Chinese Medicine. I have traveled throughout China for years researching luminaries in our medicine. I speak Mandarin and because of this I have been able to spend time with some of the most famous Chinese Doctors of Northern China at the time. I can say unequivocally that Bob Doane is one of the very best practitioners I have ever seen. His results are nothing short of miraculous and his methods are a beautiful blend of modern and ancient medicine. The DNA and MPD systems are incredible and are a must for those who want to produce significant clinical results with Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Great experience with the staff and appreciate all the explanations on acupuncture and our program we have set up. first time for me, they really do make it easy being driven by their desire to make my life better. Look forward to the next year, Jerry Bannister

Your staff is caring, knowledgeable and thoughtful.

Meeting Bob and his staff gave me a sense of relief, my health has been in a rampage for the last 10 years. Within a week of using the herbal teas I have to say I slept better! My energy level has increased. Still dealing with my issues, but more confident I’m doing baby steps forward for recuperating! I live in Florida, but met the staff during a visit in Seattle. Love talking to his staff and feel confident!

A first class professional organization. Great staff and it’s Chinese medicine practitioners are world renowned. Worth a trip from Seattle or beyond to avail yourself of expert diagnostics and treatment.

Kyleen takes special interest in both of us. Over the past year she has resolved several long term issues for both of us. The bottom line is that our General Health is much better now than a year ago. We are pleased.

This place is a life saver. My Fiance has been going here for several months. Robert and his staff are extremely knowledgeable. They have given us cures where so many just gave us drugs. If you are truly serious about getting better this is the place for you.

This place has helped me feel better than I have in years!

Great people, service, and facilities. I enjoy my visits.

Fabulous experience. Exceptional, highly trained, devoted staff.

Perfectly friendly and professional atmosphere. All of the staff are interested in creating a lasting relationship.

Okay, if your in need of not only feeling better but getting better. You have to make an appointment, for years I've been dealing with many issues, and they actually listen and can set you on the correct path. I'm no longer taking prescription pills or the spray for my allergies,which have subsided greatly. I was on the verge of diabetes and now am below the threshold. My weight has decreased from 260 to 226, and continuing to go down. My acid reflux is just about gone. I'm more alert, focused and able to stay awake through out the day. My high blood pressure is now back in a healthy range, so looking forward to stop taking those pills soon. Cholesterol is getting into a normal range again.

When I started here 6months ago I knew my health was very poor. I was way over weight and knew that my heart would be bad and I would have diabetes if I didn't do something soon. I needed medications daily for pain, swelling, acid reflux, restless legs, cramps in all of my muscles including around my heart. I was weak and got short of breath just trying to tie my shoe. In the last six months, I have lost 40lbs and still working, I am off all my medications and doing well, my pain level has gone from a 9/10 most everyday to a 0-1/10 daily. I do not have swelling, and my energy level has climbed back to when I was in my 30's. I am sleeping well and best of all, I am no longer putting chemicals in my body that don't belong there. The people who work here are kind and understanding and were never judgmental, just helpful and encouraging. Its worth every penny I have spent. If you are considering it, try it. Ive never regretted the decision to fully commit

Huge improvement in symptoms after just a few weeks of prescribed herbs and diet! Staff is a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to continued progress and treatment, thanks guys!

Chinese medicine for the win

Great experience, I will use AWC for my primary care. Place is very clean and professional, The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. They were ready for me at appointment time and spent one on one time explaining my medical condition and health challenges in plain easy to understand language. For those who need an alternative or an exit from the conventional western medical system, AWC is a confidence inspiring choice.

Wonderful office with knowledgeable staff.

Receive friendly, personalized care.

Amazing. That is all.

They are the best at what they do. Hands down.

Everyone is amazing. All very caring fantastic people. Helped me more than I can say. Thanks guys!

Dr. Doane and Dr. King are both very attentive listeners, very knowledgeable in their field, and skilled experts at Accupuncture. I have not worked with Dr. Lee, but she is always very friendly and pleasant when I see her. The main reason for trying the Acupuncture & Wellness Center is for my allergies. I am affected by 67 medically confirmed allergy groups, both environmental and food. For me, side effects of western medications are worse than my allergy symptoms. Taking one dose of “medicine” usually results in continuous slow nose bleeds for 2 days, or stomach cramps for 18 hours. Dr. Doane was honest with me up front, he would do all he could, but it would take several months to first reduce my symptoms and then strengthen my system against allergic reactions. This option was much more interesting to me than 2 years of bi-weekly allergy shots that would be still leave 20% of the allergies unaffected. The specialist himself recommended not doing the treatment because the end result would be the same: avoid crowds and avoid outdoors—year round—and wear a mask when I do. (Which I already do.) After two months, I have gone from 80%-100% congested throughout the day, to 0%-20% congested throughout the day. My acute reactions have lessened, and recovery time from an accurate reaction has decreased by about 30%. I am very pleased with my results so far. We are now moving to phase two and I am excited to see what happens.

I always have a great experience when dealing with the Acupuncture & Wellness Clinic . They have taken good care of me and help me get healthy .

This place is amazing. I have several serious illnesses that doctors were overmedication. Got on their herb and diet program and seriously I have felt this good in years. The best!

Wow! Believe them!

The Best. I've never felt or looked better!

Bob saved my life, simply put. About a year ago I went to his acupuncture and wellness clinic in very poor health. I was so Ill I was actually in the process of having my will made out. Since my first visit I have lost over 70 lbs, my heart murmur is gone and the diagnosis of congestive heart failure is no longer on my records. Needless to say this is "The Best Care Ever Received" anywhere in my long life. I now have the energy I had in my thirties; I can now sleep after years of insomnia, and the painful areas around my body are gone or 90% less. In my 70's I am now back to working full time, building a vacation home and enjoying life. It is my guess that this clinic sees +/- 100 patients a day- they are very efficient. Anyone who gives this clinic a chance to work there magic, and go the distance, for at least 90 days will be very pleased with the life changing results. I am living proof.

Great people, very Zen

Life changing! Bob has been a great health advisor and I have brought family and staff to maximize our health, our family and our company. Thank you Bob, and the entire staff.

if u have issues that regular medicine hasn't helped, try Chinese medicine...it really works...

The very best of every thing healthy.

Highly perceptive and compassionate health experts

Been going to these guys for years. Kyleen is amazing. I first started coming for nausea issues back in 2015. They got me in the day after calling and were able to provide me with instant relief - my regular GP could not ID my problem and had already racked up $800 worth of tests and could not provide me with any relief. The nausea issue was completely resolved with the clinic after a few months. However during the treatment I was able to continure living my life. Which I was not able to before. Kyleens bedside manner is incredible. I feel like all my issues are addressed immediately and with great care. Bob can come across as rather brash, but he definitely knows his field.

Feelong better!
