About Jean Donati

Hello, and welcome to my acupuncture practice! I’d love to share how my journey in healthcare began.
I started as a Certified Physician Assistant in 1992 and became a Licensed Acupuncturist in 2000. My background in both Western and Eastern medicine allows me to approach patient care with an experienced comprehensive perspective.
Before becoming a Physician Assistant, I was involved in a serious accident that left me with chronic lower back pain and sciatica. Despite trying physical therapy, chiropractic care, and medications, nothing provided lasting relief. Surgery seemed like my only option—until a colleague suggested acupuncture. I had never considered it before, but I was willing to give it a try.
On December 15, 1995, my first acupuncture session changed my life and my approach to medicine forever. During that visit, I felt truly listened to, understood, and cared for as a whole person—not just another patient with back pain. That experience opened my eyes to what was missing in my work as a Physician Assistant: a personal, holistic approach that addresses the entire person, not just the symptoms.
With regular acupuncture treatments, the back pain I had struggled with for seven years disappeared within six months. My overall well-being improved too—I felt happier, less stressed, and more balanced. To this day, I use acupuncture to maintain my health and wellness.
I’m passionate about helping others experience the same care and transformation, addressing not just their pain but their full physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
