Made an appointment for a left frozen shoulder & Ayako was available for the quickest appointment. First impression she listened to my problems & expectations, very honest and cautious while giving her assessment on my initial visit. Words of advice: during your course of treatment listen & pay attention to your body, give her feedback what’s working or not, be open minded to her suggestions because she is truly working hard to make you feel better. Buy package(s)! Expect some up & down progress but be persistent. She tried acupuncture, cupping & massages. Bought packages & used about 19-20 visits to reach my expectations, went from 2x/wk, to weekly, then 1x/biweekly visit. I was able to share my package with my daughter.

In a short time with regular visits, treatment has improved my digestion, sleep, and mood. Eric is right on with assessment, treatment and prescribing herbal medicine. I plan on continuing regular treatment for stress, relaxation, and those occasional aches and pains. Payment options are more than reasonable for being able to feel alive in my body again.

I highly recommend Hetty and EBOM Clinic in Omaha. My wife has been receiving acupuncture and herbs for a couple months from Hetty to help with Bell's Palsy and the results have been incredible. After struggling with Bell's Palsy for 5 years, she is so excited to be getting feeling and function back in her face. She absolutley swears by the treatments she is getting. Thank you Hetty and EBOM!

Ayako is amazing, she listens and places needles based on her assessment but also her intuition. I started at EBOM to find non-medicine relief for my menopausal symptoms of hot flashes and incessant night sweats. Within 3 sessions I definitely noticed a difference with in 6 my symptoms were completely gone and have not returned to me. She also knows when I’m am having higher levels of stress in my life and places for that. I never leave wishing I hadn’t gone and I always rebook because acupuncture with Ayako produces results I have never gotten with western medicine practitioners. Being an RN myself, I always lean towards non-pharma solutions and EBOM and Ayako have delivered impeccable care whether it’s in the room, front desk or on the phone. They are so accomodating as well, Ayako comes in early for me sometimes, so I can make it to work. She cups me most appointments as well and it’s old heat and glass cupping-she’s amazing. From the door in to the door out I’m never disappointed with this clinic and the staff. Wish I could give 6 stars!

I have digestive issues related to food allergies and suffer from discomfort. One really annoying pain has been abdomen muscle spasms. After researching into acupuncture and the various conditions it can help, I decided it was worth a try. I scheduled my first appointment with Ayako Sagayam 6 months ago. My condition has improved dramatically over the last 6 months with the multiple sessions with Ayako. The advice she has provided on foods to eat and avoid along with the acupuncture sessions has really helped with my condition. My sleep and stress levels have also improved!

I had some lower back pain that I had an MRI scan, PT for and it would not feel better. I was suggested Ayako by my MD and she has greatly helped my condition. It is a super relaxing experience and it has greatly helped my condition. I recommend anyone to try this clinic and Ayako will take care of you.

Ayako Sagayama is an excellent acupuncturist! She always takes time to review symptoms and my progress before starting treatment. She is very knowledgeable and has helped my tennis elbow considerably. I look forward to my treatment sessions with Ayako!

I have been plagued for many years with issues caused by my physically taxing occupation, leading to back, neck and joint discomfort and reduced mobility. I assumed that middle age is the time that none of these conditions can be reversed. While out of work due to the pandemic, I sought out the best foods, yet my digestion was out of step with my age and vigorous lifestyle. I tried accupuncture with Ayako and the results were immediate. Later in my treatment I agreed to supplement my accupuncture treatments with massage sessions with Markina King. I am beginning to be able to stretch some pernicious problem muscles that were changing my posture and making me an old man before my time.

I came to see Dr. Ayako Sagayama at EBOM primarily for help with a lower back issue. For over a month I had a lot of discomfort walking, going up and down stairs, and bending to pick things up, etc. After just one acupuncture treatment I was better by at least 70% -- it was such a relief. I continued to see her for chronic hamstring injuries (from distance running) that were resistant to healing. She used acupuncture attached to a TENS unit to improve its effect. After 6 sessions in the last couple months my hamstrings have improved far more than with any other interventions I've tried (Shockwave, Dry Needling, Graston, standard PT). Dr. Ayako did also emphasize the importance of changing old muscle habits that lead to sports injuries, and I've been working with a postural restoration therapist during this time---the two approaches seem to complement each other well. Thanks again Dr. Ayako!

I see Ayako for back and hip pain resulting from a car accident many years ago. She is personable and knowledgeable about acupuncture and health. She evaluates how I am feeling and what changes I have noticed since my last appointment to adjust her approach and my plan of care. I have noticed improvement in my pain after several sessions and happy with the care and service I receive from her.

Ayako has been working with me for the past three months, mostly for my on-going digestive issues. I have seen great improvements since working with her. She has also helped to open my sinuses and is helping me to correct dry mouth issues. The Chinese tea and/or herbs that I take are adjusted as needed. Ayako is very skilled as well as friendly and easy to work with. At each visit, she listens to how I am feeling and answers all my questions. Ayako does a great job of explaining so that I understand. Akayo is very good at suggesting what I can eat or do to help my condition. She has a great sense of humor and is very easy to get along with. I believe she really cares and tries to do what is best for me. Akayo, Massage Therapist Markina and Front Desk Manager Jenny are all great.

Ayako Sagayama is a wonderful Acupuncturist. She was able to help with my migraines when nothing else worked! After just 2 visits I could feel a great improvement. She is listening very carefully and designs treatments to help your whole body function better. She uses cupping method as well, which was very helpful with my muscle tensions. Acupuncture and massage is also helping my son with his muscle injury. We are very grateful for Ayako's help!

I have started seeing Melody for six sessions now. I came in with several issues. Melody explained one thing at a time. Well, I wanted needles everywhere! LOL. We started with my knee pain. After 3 sessions my knee has been good for a month now and I'm not limping when I get up to walk. Yay! Now we are working on a pain in my back that seems to be very deep and specific. Well, we had a few sessions directly in the area which helped minimally. But yesterday she turned me over and worked in other areas of my body. I'm excited to say....Bingo! She hit the spot. I got out of my bed pain free, walked around last night....pain free and hoping this will continue. Melody is a practitioner that cares, listens to the patient and has the skills and knowledge to address the problem until it is solved. Next problem area is my arm! Can't wait! I'm 68 and lead an active life and I'm a baker/cake artist as a little side home business. Thank you Melody!

Dr. Ayako was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She was patient and customized my treatment process every time to address whatever needs I had. Definitely worth the experience. I feel 100% better after just a few visits. - James

I have been receiving acupuncture from Ayako for the last 6 months for my hand, back and overall pain relief. She is absolutely wonderful. She is kind, patient, thorough, and truly cares about every person. Ayako listens and adjusts treatments at each session to ensure you get the results you need. If you are considering acupuncture, I would highly recommend Ayako.

For the past couple of years I have had painful Neuropathy in my feet. After one session with Chuan (Melody) Shi, my feet were noticeably better, after session 4, the pain was nearly (roughly 95%) gone. She has also helped me with back pain, which I have had for the past 30 years. After only 2 sessions, my back pain and stiffness are vastly improved. I am continuing with some maintenance sessions. After years with multiple doctors and multiple medications, acupuncture has proven to be the better route for pain relief. EBOM offers session packages, which are the best route to go for a more thorough, and less expensive way to relieving pain, stress, weight loss, and many other aspects to living a more healthy life. Outstanding!

I had nausea nonstop for over a year, couldn't eat, and was dropping a lot of weight rapidly. My previous doctors couldn't help me, and really didn't seem to care. I was so scared and miserable. I had never considered accupuncture before, but I was referred by a friend and thought it was worth a shot. I started being treated by Melody Shi, and I saw results almost instantly. I can honestly say she saved my life. I can eat now, I'm gaining weight, and I rarely, if ever, feel nauseated. She is absolutely amazing and I HIGHLY recommend her! I don't know where I would be right now without her and EBOM!

I broke my ankle in December and my sciatic nerve was damaged in surgery. I couldn't stand, sit, or lay down without pain for 4.5 months. Dr. Shi treated my lower back one time and my sciatica is gone. She is amazing.

I have had chronic spring and fall hay fever for 60 years. Beginning in 2014, in another city, and since 2016 at EBOM, I have received 6 to 8 acupuncture treatments each spring and fall to relieve symptoms. The past two years, both spring and fall, I have had only mild symptoms which I treat with a single dose of an allergy medicine daily. I can only suggest that the cumulative hay fever acupuncture treatments have worked beyond my belief. I remain symptom free each spring and fall! Thank you EBOM.

Dr. Shi (Melody) has been working with me for the past six months. I have seen great improvements since working with her. Dr. Shi is very skilled as well as friendly and easy to work with. At each visit, she listens attentively to how I am feeling and answers all my questions. Dr. Shi does a great job of explaining so that I understand. She is very good at suggesting what I can eat or do to help my condition. Dr. Shi really cares and tries to do what is best for me and all her patients. Dr. Shi, Hetty, the Front Desk Manager Jenny and other people at EBOM are all great.

I have been seeing Melody at EBOM in Omaha for a year and half now and she is kind, caring and an expert in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. She has a holistic approach to her practice and spends ample time on every visit listening to your concerns and questions and analyzing your progress. I highly recommend Melody if you are looking for an Acupuncturist.

I have been seeing Melody at EBOM in Omaha some time now and she is an expert in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. Her caring and holistic approach to her practice and approach is great. More progress here in 3 months than 3 yrs of regular Dr appts. Highly recommend!

I have been seeing Dr. Ayako for several months after a mastectomy and chemotherapy. I went in after my PT recommended it and I have been so pleased with the results! My anxiety and nerve pain has decreased as well as the discomfort in my shoulder and arm. Dr. Ayako Sagayama is so caring and always listens to my needs and concerns and has the best recommendations for me each time I go. She is fun to talk with and makes me feel so at ease. I have highly recommended her to all my friends and family and never believed I would benefit so much. She is amazing!

I have been going here for the past few months and the sessions have been great in helping with muscle pain and tension. The practitioner Ayako is very caring, and listens to your feedback, adjusting your treatments as needed. I appreciate the flexibility with scheduling and the discounts they offer with appointment packages.

I have seen Ayako for four sessions now and plan on going back to see her soon! She brings a lot of knowledge and experience, and I trust her expertise. She was always very attentive and listened to my concerns. It has helped so much with my neck, back, and hip pain and would recommend to anyone who has even remotely thought of trying acupuncture.

I am so happy to have found this clinic and Ayako specifically! I have done 6 treatments and my shoulder pain is 99% gone, which is not something I would have though possible! Ayako is knowledgeable and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. She listens and devises a treatment plan that makes sense. I highly recommend this clinic and acupuncture overall!

I was very impressed with the results from my first session at EBOM Acupuncture Clinic (Evidence Based Oriental Medicine). I struggled with Edema for over a year. The swelling and pain was so bad I thought the skin would split open. After my first appointment with Dr. Akayo the swelling decreased significantly and with no pain! I am having continuous improvement with the Edema and Dr. Akayo is responsible for improvements from other areas receiving care. I can't thank Dr. Akayo enough! Not only does Dr. Akayo heal, she has a wonderful personality as well!! Bonus! Thank you Dr. Akayo

I go to Ebom for many issues. It started, like many others, with foot and nerve pain. Melani was wonderful to help me eliminate the pain. Then it was gastrointestinal issues and again Melani worked her wonders. I had to switch to Hetty due to scheduling and have been most happy with the results and her insights. Now again due to scheduling I must work with Eric. I am not happy with his treatment or his bedside manner.
