Aculocus Clinic

Acupuncture clinic

😠 A terrible first (and only!) experience. I booked online and received a confirmation email. When I arrived there at 9am nobody was there to greet me, and 10 minutes after my acupuncture was supposed to start, nobody had dealt with me. So I went looking in the clinic and someone got hold of Dr Ahmed... People often mention Ziad, Ahmed, pain, experience, recommend, acupuncture, highly,

    A terrible first (and only!) experience. I booked online and received a confirmation email. When I arrived there at 9am nobody was there to greet me, and 10 minutes after my acupuncture was supposed to start, nobody had dealt with me. So I went looking in the clinic and someone got hold of Dr Ahmed on the phone. He didn't know about the appointment because "the online system isn't working". He never asked for the phone to be passed to me, so I didn't get an apology, neither did he ask his colleague to take my details so that he could call me later. I had driven 30 minutes to get there (because the reviews were so good) so in total I lost 90 minutes of my working day. Honestly Dr Ahmed, if your online booking system isn't working, TURN IT OFF SO THAT IT'S NOT ON THE WEBSITE!! People like me cannot waste 1.5 hours and $5 in gas just because you can't fix your technology. And by the way, the next time you do that to a customer, have the decency to ask for the phone to be passed to the customer so that you can apologize and make amends. I am sure you are excellent at acupuncture, but I have now found somewhere else in Dartmouth and I will be using them. No second chances after an experience like that.

    I was referred to Dr.Ziad by my chiropractor Dr.Roach to have dry needling done. Well it was an experience! He got me in the next day and was very quick with diagnosing my problem and fixing me really quickly! It wasn't the most pleasant feeling initially however I have never felt so amazing in my life! Two sessions and I feel like a new person! I highly recommend this service along with all the other services they provide! Thanks For All The Help Getting Me Back On My Feet Again !!!

    Dr. Ziad is an incredibly talented and meticulous practitioner. I am so blown away by the care, attention to detail, the effort to get things precisely right. I've been to a number of different locations for treatments in Halifax and I would 100% say that this by FAR is the best experience. The clinic is inviting and clean and Dr. Ziad does a great job of explaining the procedures to you. Highly recommend if you are on the fence or deciding on where to go. I've never felt in better hands than at Aculocus! Great job and many thanks! Monika

    Our experience with this clinic was amazing. My brother had severe tinnitus for many years and I had been researching to see what could possibly help..he was giving up and finally was recommended to the Aculous Clinic for acupuncture and the result was unbelievable after a couple treatments. I would def recommend this Clinic. 👌 Just wish I would have found it sooner. The relief he is now experiencing has changed his life and mine. It is heartbreaking when u see your brother in tears due to the ringing.. Thankyou so much Dr. Ziad Ahmed for giving Chris his life back..

    When I went to see Dr. Z I didn't know what to expect as my arm has been sore for months the doctor told me I have tennis elbow and it would take six to eight months to heal as a hairstylist I can't really afford to be off. I came in and Dr. Z did dry needling it is like nothing that I have ever done before. After my appointment it was about 2 hours and I could move my arm and the pain was less, once I hit the 24 hour mark the pain had subsided more than 50% I could do things like hold my blowdryer without loss of grip. I am truly amazed, I can't thank you enough for fixing my arm. Wonderful place wonderful people.

    I had some skin tags in some very sensitive areas that I never felt comfortable going to a doctor to have them looked at. Dr Ahmad made me feel extremely comfortable. The removal process was painless, in fact I did not even realize that he administered the anesthesia! Once they were all removed i still did not feel any pain or discomfort. Extremely professional , very knowledgeable and a master of his craft. I will definitely go back! Highly recommended and you cannot beat his prices!

    Was recommended to see Dr Ziad Ahmed for Bell's Palsy (temporary facial paralysis), I had never had acupuncture but went to see him for a week straight and his services provided the most improvement of my condition (also tried chiropractic. laser and massage a other clinics). Relaxing atmosphere, very clean. He was great to deal with and very very helpful, extremely accommodating.

    Would like to share my experience with Dr. Ziad Ahmed for treatment of painful muscle knots in my neck and shoulder that impaired and limited my movement.I had limited range of motion. Unable to move my head and neck freely in all directions, my daily functioning was severely impaired and I was in agonizing pain at rest. After one dry needling session with Dr. Ahmed my pain and range of motion was, conservatively, 80% better! I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Ahmed the following day, after work, in which I received another treatment. Following this treatment I was 100% pain free with full range of motion! Dr. Ahmed is a very knowledgeable, caring individual. Thank you Dr. Ahmed, for getting me back to my normal

    Amazing experience! Helped me with acute Bell's palsy. Got me in right away even though it was a holiday. So professional and treats you like family. I did the electro acupuncture. If you need services in Halifax Aculocus is the place to go. Forever grateful for their help 🙏

  • 5/5 Moody J. 4 years ago on Google
    I had amazing experience With Dr. Ziad! I went to him after having Bell’s palsy for about two weeks , had just finished my prescription I was prescribed for my Bell’s palsy. I was not sure if my face was ever going to return to normal. After one acupuncture treatment with Dr. Ziad I had movement again in parts of my face. Within 4 treatments my face was fully back To normal; I was amazed!! I highly recommend Dr ziad he was very friendly and knowledgeable!

    Dr. Ziad got me on the road to recover my herniated disc. He showed a great understanding of my condition and didn't rush into recommending surgery like all the other doctors I've previously seen. Instead, he took the time to explain all the alternative options and was super keen to help.

  • 5/5 Kareem E. 6 months ago on Google
    Dr Ziyad is a true expert in his field. He's a wealth of knowledge and has a extremly high level of understanding when it comes to the body's anatomy and structure. If you experience any pain, especially lower back or shoulder/neck, he is definitely the one to go to. I highly highly recommend! (Coming from a coach and personal trainer with 9 years experience)

    I have had problems with my shoulder for almost a year. The pain was getting to be unbearable. A friend who told me about Dr. Ziad Ahmed and how she had the same pain and he fixed it by doing dry needling in three appointments so I called to make an appointment saying to myself. What do I got to lose? Wow I didn’t lose anything I now have gained strength my arm and no pain at night he was very knowledgeable and helpful. I will recommend him to anybody. I know who has pain go there first. He is now going to be my go to doctor when I have any more problems with my And muscles. Definitely give him a try. It’s worth it once again Dr. Ziad Ahmed I think you so much for helping me.
