A Sampling of Patient Testimonials
"After 17 years of migraine headaches and neck pain I went to Dara on a recommendation from a friend. This has totally changed my life and well being. Upon going to multiple neurologists and having numerous CT scans and MRIs the consensus was to take expensive drugs, most of which I couldn't tolerate and none of which worked. Dara "listened" to what I was feeling and through her knowledge and expertise I am finally being relieved from near constant pain. She is a caring and compassionate person who is getting to the root of my problems and not just trying to cover up the pain with medications. Can't even express my gratefulness to her for helping me through the pain so I can enjoy life and my family. Pretty sure I would adopt her for a daughter if she would let me, LOL. My own daughters love what she has done for me."

"I have been to quite a few acupuncturists and I believe Dara Cantor to be one of the best in her field. Simply put, Dara is amazing! She is smart, intuitive, and caring, and a very skilled acupuncturist. I love that she is always learning and growing in her knowledge of Chinese medicine. My physician referred me to her several years ago when I was suffering through menopause. Dara listened carefully to my story, formulated a treatment plan, and literally changed my life!"

"I have been disabled with a spinal cord disease for over 20 years, using high doses of Opioids to control debilitating pain. My daughter was doing research in her work for a large Physical Therapy company in the Portland Metro area, looking for alternatives to conventional medicine. She interviewed Ben Marx and Dara Cantor, had a hugely successful session with them for a chronic shoulder problem, and immediately phoned me to share her information. She encouraged me to give them a try. That was 1 1/2 years ago, and I have become a believer. I see Dara several times a month. The results have given me a new life, and Dara's extensive knowledge is impressive. The techniques she uses have nearly eliminated the scar tissue at the back of my head/neck from two experimental surgeries in the 90s, giving me the ability to move my head easily for the first time in over 20 years. Every visit gives me relief, and the lasting effects are incredible. I am now off all prescription pain medications, and will be continuing to use Source Integrative Medicine as my primary pain management option. I would encourage everyone to try these unique methods of care."

"I've gotten acupuncture, Chinese herbs, nutritional and other invaluable advice from Dara since she was an intern at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. I'd been going there for 3 years prior to meeting her, and when I did I knew I'd found the person that I wanted to stay with. I now see her for regular treatments at SOURCE Integrative Medicine. She is a devoted, astute, and intuitive practitioner who has helped me with a myriad of issues, from joint and back pain to immune support. She has made a concerted study of the pulses and I rely on her to tell me what is going on with my body on a regular basis even if I feel no symptoms. I view Dara as a trusted partner in the maintenance of my continued good health."

"I originally visited Dara Cantor at SOURCE Integrative Medicine due to an outbreak of shingles. Her acupunture treatments definitely helped to mitigate the pain of shingles, but also shortened the duration of the illness. Needless to say I was thrilled with the results. Since then I have seen Dara for lower back pain and allergies which has proven to be very helpful. Dara has a wonderful bedside manner and is knowledgeable about her work. She goes out of her way to seek out remedies and treatments she thinks might be helpful. I highly recommend Dara to anyone!"

"I went to see Ben for a couple different sports injuries. I was very impressed with the office space and treatment room. It just imparted a feeling that I was in good hands.
The treatment was great. I felt an immediate improvement. I think the addition of acupuncture plus the massage and other treatments he used really added to what I was already doing. I had a renewed sense of healing with injuries that have been plaguing me for awhile.
I have another appointment on the books!"

"Portlanders are lucky to have so many choices when it comes to acupuncture & Chinese Medicine practitioners. Dara is at the top of the list in my book. She is incredibly knowledgeable & thorough in her assessment (especially the pulse diagnosis--I'm always amazed at her depth of skill here), and her treatments are relaxing & effective. I appreciate her suggestions on self-care, and her attention to quality in any herbs/supplements she chooses. Great location in NE Portland, nice office, highly recommend!"
- LD, massage therapist
"What a relief to find this place. I can't believe it took this long for acupuncture to be recommended for my shoulder problem. Here I was starting to think that surgery was the only option. Ben is trustworthy & knowledgable. It's reassuring to have confidence in one's practitioner. By the 2nd treatment I was moving my shoulder in ways that I hadn't been able to do in years.
The location is super convenient, not too far from downtown & right off the I-84 freeway. There's no up-selling of products or services. Just care, compassion & questions answered. The waiting room & reception area is quiet, relaxing, nicely decorated & stocked with appropriate reading materials & comfort items. Adequate off-street parking is provided - what a bonus! I am recommending Ben and this clinic to anyone I can think of."

"Dara excels at being present, listening well and being prepared, strategic and thoughtful about her acupuncture treatments and herbal formulas. I highly recommend her.'"

"SOURCE includes an inviting waiting and treatment room. Dara and Ben are both professional, thorough, and warm practitioners. They've helped me to resolve a chronic running injury, improve my diet, and discover how great it's possible to feel with the help of acupuncture, herbs, and nutritional changes. I'm grateful to them and would highly recommend SOURCE to other athletes or anyone seeking to improve their health."
- DG, teacher
"I first saw Dara for acupuncture following a motor vehicle accident I was involved in. Suffering from neck pain, I saw Dara for a course of treatments that relieved my symptoms and got me back to 100% in a matter of treatments. I have now seen Dara for help with other issues and find her treatments to be very effective and relaxing. I always look forward to my treatments with Dara and trust her beautiful work. I especially appreciate all of the thought that goes into her treatments and the time she takes with me to discuss and educate me on how to make my situation better. I highly recommend seeing Dara for acupuncture!"
- LY, acupuncturist
"I practice martial arts and have suffered from painful and stiff ankles. Ben was able to isolate the problem and give me a ton of relief in the first treatment. I highly recommend SOURCE to anyone."
