"I got acupuncture from Don from October through February or so because I wanted to get pregnant. I got pregnant almost immediately but had a turbulent first trimester. Both of you were so kind, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout this time, which really helped keep me sane. I absolutely looked forward to my appointment each week. Thank you for all of your advice and expertise."

"Don Matesz and Barefoot Acupuncture has been an amazing blessing to my health....After a few months, the pain in my knees completely subsided. It was such a blessing. His caring and compassionate ways are truly astounding!"

"Don Matesz's Barefoot Health Care Center is an amazing place of healing....His pricing is incredible....I can not recommend this place enough.... if you are in pain, taking medications, or are facing surgery, go here first."

"Tracy helped me through a very rough time in my life and now I am focusing on my life path largely in part to her healing sessions. I am also changing the way I eat thanks to her insane knowledge of nutrition. As far as Don goes, I saw him for a foot problem which healed in about 3 weeks of doing acupuncture. The herbs for PMS are amazing!! I do not go a month without them. They are authentic, compassionate, and  very gifted people, I can't recommend them enough!"


Christi K

"I found Barefoot Acupuncture when I was in a stage of my life where I was just getting unstuck from some negative patterns in relationships and finances. I was in a cycle of poverty and failed finances that had been going on for years. Tracy is a compassionate and highly gifted woman and her sessions helped me break those patterns. My business has taken off and I have had a 180 degree turn around in my personal relationships. Even physical ailments have vanished or dissipated. I have been to standard therapies at different times, but Tracy was able to help in ways, and much faster, than the others had. I would highly recommend. Even the lobby has a very soothing and healing energy to it making me feel calm as soon as I enter their space. Don is a very kind man and has a very soothing presence. I would feel very comfortable if I needed to go to him for any of his services as well. Tracy and Don have a wonderful place.

Why Pay For Frills?

High cost alternative medical services only add to your stress. Traditionally, Chinese medicine physicians offered their services in ordinary community and neighborhood settings. To get benefits from acupuncture, you need consistent treatments, not an upscale spa-like environment (read why here).

Fancy furnishings don't relieve pain, stress, or illness, but they do increase the final bill. We can save you money on your health care.  We have a basic, clean, quiet, and comfortable Old Town Scottsdale neighborhood clinic where you can get quick relief from pain, stress, and dis-ease using low cost acupuncture and other services, in a semi-private or community setting.
