Testimonials - Josefina Dominguez
I am a patient who is willing to travel from Las Cruces, New Mexico to Tucson every few months to see Nanie Carrillo because I have a complete trust and high regard for her professionalism. She is an observant, insightful, and intentional practitioner who blends acupuncture with Chinese herbs in her treatments.

In 2004 a new gynecologist put me on progesterone capsules and later bioidentical progesterone cream to address bleeding during exercise and intercourse.

Although these treatments provided immediate relief, I knew that hormone replacement therapies were under suspicion for increased rates of breast cancer. I still wanted to find another solution to my short term efforts.
