Reviews and Success Stories

I waited a month after treatment to give my review to assess if the treatment worked. I started attending RVA Acupuncture in December, I went for approximately 2 months. It was my first time going to an Acupuncturist. I must say I feel better than before I started even a few weeks after treatment ended. Vicky really cares about her patients, she has a good group of staff working with her. It is a bit pricey, however it is worth it for better health (the only reason I did not give 5 star was the price). I maybe go back towards the end of spring for another issue. Thanks.

When someone told me to go see Maegan, I had never experienced acupuncture and I was certainly skeptical; however, I was desperate to try anything other than another round of prescriptions. From the moment I walked in the practice, I was welcomed in with the message that our body is designed to heal. Maegan created a space designed to listen, explore, and heal. After listening to me and taking very meticulous notes, she said the words, "I can absolutely help you." I hadn't had that kind of hope in a while. I visited her once a week for several weeks. Her team welcomed me by name, had a room carefully prepared for me, and after several weeks I started to feel better. She thankfully has an online scheduler that makes it really easy to schedule or reschedule when needed. I never had to wait because it is by appointment only, and my room was always ready, comfortable, and super clean. Not only do I feel better and more capable of managing my health, but I feel like I have a true health partner I can turn to. This has been the best experience.

when I first signed up for treatment for my TMJ I was a little skeptical, since I'd been bogged down by jaw pain for years. I have been more than pleasantly surprised by the huge improvement acupuncture has made!!! I am really grateful for this experience.

I went to Centered as a last resort after taking over the counter and prescription pain killers to manage my joint pain and struggling with insomnia. First off, Maegan is THOROUGH. From the intake form to the consultation, she went into my whole history and was connecting the dots in a way no western doctor has done before. And her level of care and professionalism blew me away! I’ve already been able to wean myself off of prescription painkillers after 3 weeks (17 days so far without it!) and I’ve been able to sleep ~7 hours every night. TCM is the real deal but what else should you expect from 2,000 years of evidence-based results! Thank you, Maegan, for making me a believer!

Exceptional customer services and individualized care. I always feel at ease and secure during each visit. I started visits with extreme discomfort in my back, arms and shoulders. Treatment plan has been very successful. I am fortunate to have a caring and dedicated team that works seamlessly to meet your needs. Megan is very attuned in assessing your overall needs. She is never rushed and listens attentively to your feedback and observations. I am on a maintenance plan to sustain my success. After each visit I am relaxed and pain free. I routinely recommend Megan and her team to family and friends
without any reservations.

Another exceptional visit with the team at Centered Meagan’s expertise and bedside manner is evident in each encounter. She is very observant of her patients physically and emotionally. I began treatment several years ago and is now on a maintenance plan. I am currently pain free and very satisfied with the outcomes of my treatment plan. I highly recommend Centered to my family and friends and will be a lifelong patient.

My visit today was an outstanding as my first visit approximately three years ago. I am very grateful and thankful for the expert care that I receive on my maintenance plan. I continue to be pain free and able to sustain a productive and healthy lifestyle. Thanks Meagan and team. !!

Amazing experience. Came in with lockjaw and had 80% relief after 1 treatment. And 99% relief after 5 treatments. Very kind staff. Highly recommend.

I've had an overall great experience at Centered: Richmond Acupuncture & Wellness. I highly recommend Maegan Hodge and her staff does an exceptional job.

I had my first visit today about 3 hours ago and I am feeling relief I didn't know was possible. I have been in so much pain for the past 3 years and one session with Maegan was transformational. My hip has new movement and I feel relief in my stomach and ribs. I can not wait to go back Friday! Thank you for giving me some freedom!!

Meagan and Kassie are so friendly and welcoming. Meagan digs deep into your history to find clues to “what ails you.” She was able to notice my chin drop that had been causing neck pain, even though many orthopedic doctors and pain management doctors hadn’t. Medicine isn’t always the cure, at times it just takes small changes in your posture to help. I cannot recommend this practice enough!

What a calming experience! Maegan always actively listens to your concerns and determines the best course of action.

I want to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care I received during my recent treatment. From the outset, Meagan took the time to truly understand my individual concerns, conducting a thorough and thoughtful evaluation that went far beyond surface-level symptoms.

What stood out most was the comprehensive approach taken—every aspect of my health was considered, including a detailed review of my medical history, current challenges, lifestyle habits, and even environmental exposures that could be contributing to my condition. This deep dive made it clear that the goal was not just to treat, but to truly understand the root causes and build a sustainable path forward for my health.

The experience was further elevated by the professionalism and warmth of Maegan and her assistant, Kacy. They created an environment that felt both inviting and respectful, where I was encouraged to ask questions and felt genuinely heard throughout the process. It’s rare to find a team so committed to both clinical excellence and compassionate care, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been in such capable hands.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They made me feel comfortable and at ease right away.

Maegan is truly exceptional—knowledgeable, attentive, and deeply thoughtful in her approach. She took the time to really listen, understand my concerns, and tailor the treatment to what I needed most. I felt heard, supported, and cared for throughout the entire process.

If you’re looking for an acupuncture experience that combines expertise with compassion, this is the place. I highly recommend it!

I am so pleased with the practice and the way Dr. Hodge approached my case, as well as the fact that she was able to relieve my pain! She takes time to listen, ask questions, and understand - sadly, that's hard to come by in the medical world. She is also NOT a "one size fits all" kind of practitioner. I was always seen on time, and all the staff are very attentive and do what they can to make you comfortable.

I have suffered from chronic migraines for many years. Meeting Maegan and her wonderful team has been a true blessing. I have taken medications, done many years of physical therapy, massages, had a tens nerve ablation, you name it. Acupuncture has drastically changed my life for the better. Maegan is extremely professional. Her knowledge shines through and her ability to assess and treat amazes me. Our first meeting I was extremely impressed that she will assess if she believes she can help you or not. She does not want to waste your time. I was very appreciative of that, and knew I was in good hands. If you have ever thought, maybe I should try it- JUST DO IT. And come see Maegan Hodge

I visited Maegan and the great folks at Centered for acupuncture and Chinese medicine for several chronic issues. I am happy to report I am feeling much better. I am so thankful for all of their help!

I'm so glad I found Megan and Centered Acupuncture. I had a total knee replacement in 2018 and after a year, still wasn't recovered. The knee remained swollen, stiff, and painful. After just the first session with Megan I had much more freedom of movement in the knee. Now after two months, the knee is just a little tight. I can live with that. Thank you Megan for giving me more relief than the physical therapy did. If any other issues flare up (like my back), I will definitely call Megan first.

I came to Meagan very fit on the outside, but felt like I was falling apart on the inside. I have believed in holistic medicine my entire adult life, and Meagan has been kind, patient and is amazing at listening and treating not only the issues you are aware of, but even those you are not. I truly feel we are not on this Earth to feel sub par, but I have been striving for years to feel my optimal self. After only a few treatments, I am well on my way to feeling the best version of myself. Not only has she re-centered my inner self through acupuncture and herbs, she has improved the mobility and function of my hamstrings that have had nagging issues for well over two years. I am grateful for how in tune with the body Meagan is, and how she can translate everything I say into how she can help heal me. I highly recommend Meagan for both acute and chronic health issues.

Where do I even start with Meagan Hodge and Centered Acupuncture! From my very first visit, I encountered the most thorough, thoughtful, and holistic health history I’ve ever experienced. Maegan listened to everything I had to say and drew connections between symptoms in a way no doctor I’ve been to ever has. She encouraged me to listen to signs my body was saying, and not dismiss them like we are often made to do in Western medicine. Every appointment Maegan has been engaged, is never rushed, and I genuinely felt and know that she cared and was invested in my progress.

I originally went in for a variety of issues, including gastric health, insomnia, chronic headaches, and anxiety. It’s important to understand going in that finding what works for you is a commitment and may involve trying a few herbs that don’t work until she finds the right combination. She will also work with you to figure out a process that works. Taking herbs mixed with water didn’t work for me, so I ended up putting the herbs in vegetarian capsules that I got on Amazon. It does take up a lot of time, but it worked much better for me!

My insurance didn’t cover the treatment, but Maegan worked with me to develop a plan that could fit within my budget. While it was an investment and resulted in my husband and I pulling back expenses elsewhere, to me it was a small price to pay to solve the root of how horrible I felt every day. Maegan has several different payment options to work within your means, and is very clear about the fact that the goal is to get you in a place as quickly as possible where you don’t need to go consistently.

Overall, I cannot recommend Maegan and Centered enough. We would all be so much better off if every health care professional had the openness, intelligence, empathy, and passion that Maegan does for her patients and I’m beyond grateful that I made the investment in myself and my health to work with her.

Meg's approach to acupuncture was new to me. I had extreme tightness in my upper back and neck and so she treated my upper back and neck, in the past I've told acupuncturist about a problem area and they treat the distal end of the issue, literally sometimes working on my feet.

Maegan sits down with you at the beginning of each session to learn and track progress, her bedside manner is kind and professional. You can see the wheels turning as the conversation progresses.

After about 5 sessions my tightness had greatly reduced and I was sleeping well. Both issues I've had ongoing for years. I'm grateful to Maegan and will continue to visit her and refer clients to her.

Centered Accupuncture has made a huge difference in my health, managing pain and inflammation. First rate treatment. Thanks Maegan!

My visit to Centered was amazing. I felt like I was floating and so relaxed for at least two days afterward. One of the most peaceful experiences I've had. Meagan took time with me to review what was going on in my body and helped relieve some of my chronic knee pain. I'm amazed. Give acupuncture a try. Totally worth it.
