Professional Endorsements


I have known Sasha Scamarone, L.Ac. for ten years now, as a graduate school classmate, colleague, and as my own personal acupuncturist. I have been so impressed by her professionalism and enthusiasm for health. Sasha has been an inspiration in her continuous learning and growth as an acupuncturist and herbalist. I can speak to her gentle touch and skills as an acupuncturist. Sasha treated me for over three years and I gained so much from the experience. Her treatment plans are well thought-out and comprehensive. Sasha looks to her patients’ needs and draws on her experience in yoga, diet, and herbalism to give sound advice and encouragement for those seeking care. Sasha is a wonderful practitioner who genuinely cares about her patients. I would not hesitate to recommend Sasha as an incredible acupuncturist to anyone, from the treatment of musculoskeletal problems to more complex medical conditions.

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Sasha Scamarone as a licensed acupuncturist. She worked with us at Portland Wellness Care and reported to me in my position as head of the clinic and chiropractic physician. She was a highly valued member of the team and made a strong contribution during her time here. She is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. She was always professional and thorough with patients and genuinely cared about their treatment and well-being. Her knowledge and expertise in acupuncture helped diversity our clinic’s offering and ultimately led to better patient outcomes. Sasha has always been an absolute pleasure to work with. She had the respect and trust of all clinic staff and the patients she treated. Her knowledge, expertise and experience would be a great fit at any organization.

As the founder and CEO of three of Portland’s premier healthcare clinics – Portland Urgent Care, Portland Wellness Care and MobilMED, I am acutely aware of the necessity of having outstanding front-line employees. Sasha Scamarone, L.Ac. responded to an ad for an acupuncture position at the Wellness Care. She presented professionally and was very knowledgeable about not only her clinical field but also the business aspects of the position. Our clinic is busy – the demands are great and expectations are greater. I was always impressed by her unwavering professionalism, attention to detail and the outstanding reviews from her clients. Her style and presentation were always appreciated. Sasha worked with us for nine months. During that time, she decided to transition to full time at her own practice. Her professional demeanor and cheerful smile have been missed here at our clinic. It is my personal and professional opinion that Sasha Scamarone, L.Ac. will be a strong asset to any practice or organization in need of her skills.

I was fortunate to work alongside Sasha at our facility throughout a portion of 2017. From the start, it was clear that Sasha valued pursuit of compassion-driven, evidence-based health care. She contains a wealth of education and experience that is readily apparent to anyone who works with her. She has a unique gift for effectively blending traditional Chinese medicine with more conventional modalities – which is a powerful tool. She is humble, approachable and a joy to collaborate with. As a primary-care provider, I see patients with a broad array of health concerns. In my experience, many of my patients have benefited from medical acupuncture as a primary and adjunctive intervention. I would not hesitate to refer any of my patients to Sasha for an assessment and treatment.

Sasha is an exceptional acupuncturist and I enjoy collaborating with her to help our patients by bringing our Eastern and Western orthopedic treatment approaches together. I have worked with many talented acupuncturists and Sasha stands out amongst them all. I trust her with my patients/family and highly recommend her for your wellness and acupuncture needs.
