Acupuncture & Herbs in Bethesda, MD
Molly B. Shapiro L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.

With over 15 years of experience in her private practice, Molly provides a thoughtful, personalized approach to supporting your health. Her work is rooted in a holistic perspective—understanding the body as an interconnected system rather than a collection of separate symptoms.

By carefully observing patterns of signs and symptoms, even complex conditions can be simplified, understood, and treated at the root.

Patient Testimonials:

..."I originally came to her seeking relief from menopausal symptoms, and the results have been fantastic. She has also addressed several other health concerns along the way with the same thoughtful, holistic approach." 

..."for over 10+ years I have suffered from IBS-D and was required to take medications twice a day and was still plagued with frequent and embarrassing incidents. Through the consumption of customized herbs and food management, I no longer need the medications I was taking. I am ecstatic to say the incidents of IBS-D has decreased significantly..." 

"She not only completely resolved my foot issues through a combination of acupuncture and herbs but also took a more holistic approach to my entire body and was able to identify and resolve some related (and underlying) issues impacting my foot."

"...I originally came in for one main reason but have found that she is treating so many other things too. So exciting to have someone other than myself helping me through life, invested in my body and taking care of me!"

"...I considered acupuncture after not achieving results with traditional medicine....I truly feel Molly's treatment using herbs, diet, acupuncture and body awareness allowed me to meet my health goals."
