“Dr. Ramsey is truly an amazing man. We have referred several clients with severe problems. One of the clients was able to walk again and get off some very nasty pain meds. In all matters we have seen truly remarkable results approaching true miracles.”

D. Evans, JD

“I am a nurse and for MANY years I was skeptical of Eastern medicine, but NO MORE!!! I have been a patient of Muki as well as my husband and I must tell you that acupuncture definitely works!!!! Don't let the thought of needles scare you away because you barely even feel them.... and the effects that you feel outweigh the benefits of a little bitty sting. Muki is "One in a million"... he is definitely a man of integrity! I have said this before, and I'll say it again.... "The world is a better place because of Muki and his caring gentle ways!!!" If you have been sitting on the fence and wondering if you should "trust" Eastern medicine... then sit no more... take good care of yourself by calling Muki and making an appointment to see a very knowledgeable and truly remarkable young man who goes the distance to make you feel your very best!”

“Dr. Ramsey is one those few doctors out there practicing that truly do take the time and effort to learn completely about a patient. Not just what is ailing them, but their lifestyle choices and health goals as well. I came to Muki to treat an ailing pain that I have had for years and found the pain gone with one treatment. Muki has also helped me to quit smoking after years and years of trying without success. I highly recommend Muki not only as a doctor but as a great friend and phenomenal human being that has the ability to make every person he meets feel better.”

"I initially went to see Muki for insomnia.  During our initial visit, we discussed some other issues I was experiencing (female & anemia) that he was able to address as well.  The insomnia was helped to where I could get 4 & 5 hrs of straight sleep vs my broken 1hrs of sleep here & there.  However, I think the biggest help was getting my female issues to a more tolerable stage.  I had major PMS, mood swings, cramping, etc…..  With the help of the acupuncture and some herbs; my mood swings allowed me to be tolerated by others, but more so, my PMS symptoms and cramping diminished considerably.  Thank you, Muki!!!"

"After seeing many acupuncturists, Muki was by far the best.  Not only is he an expert in what he does, both with acupuncture and herbs, but he truly cares for his patients and listens to all there concerns.  He is an asset to his profession, and I no longer need to look any further for treatment."

"My name is Laurel, I am in my early 50 young years and I was referred to Muki for acupuncture treatment for my mixed emotional state, which resulted from stress over time, causing me anxiety & panic, upper & lower digestive disturbances, heart palpitations, & muscular/skeletal tension.

Muki was very thorough in his initial consultation & evaluation with me as a patient.
He took the time to really listen, to assess the condition(s) and to determine which acupuncture approach will be most likely to benefit me. He educated me with his knowledge in his experience with diagnosis & treatment for my various conditions.

I informed him that I've had osteoporosis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and fatigue for 2 years & had 2 auto accidents contribute to my physical discomforts.

Muki is truly a " HEALER", in that he has a genuine ability in healing those of us who are seeking a natural approach to healing our bodies & minds as opposed to the standard medical practices using drugs alone, or with expensive & limited physical therapies. I have experienced wonderful results with acupuncture & chinese herbs with Muki's treatments, & in a reasonably short amount of time,  feeling much relief with all of the above mentioned conditions I've been suffering from for some time.

The results I've personally experienced with Muki have been "phenomenal" to say the least. I've experienced immediate results with my emotional well-being & palpitations. My digestive disturbances have needed somewhat more attention, but over a period of  6 months I have felt much relief & I have been experiencing a much more balanced, relaxed, & healthier energy overall.

Muki's office is conveniently located for me, where I have easy access no matter what my mode of transportation is. He offers evening hours on occasion, along with week-end appointments (a "special bonus") for those of us who work the usual business hours.

I personally find Muki unique & superior in offering his services that he provides for his patients where he is very considerate & timely in returning personal calls when in need of consulting or advice, he is reasonally priced, & he is willing to work with those who may experience personal financial situations from time to time."

"If you are looking for a caregiver that truly cares then Muki is the only choice! He spent more time with me and talked more about my overall health than any of my doctors ever have. He will give you meaningful advice about how to improve your overall health in addition to working on your specific need.  When he says he can help you it is true, now that he has helped me my husband wants to go see him (small miracle since my husband was supposed to start seeing him first)!

After just one visit you will be on the Muki love train too!"

"My name is Jennifer, I am deaf, and I began seeing Muki Ramsey in March of 2009 for my Hypothyroid condition  when my lab results showed high thyroid levels and my doctor wanted to put me on medicine to treat it for the rest of my life. 

My mother encouraged me to visit with Muki for a consult and Muki informed us that this condition is easily treatable with chinese medicine.

I have been asked by my M.D. to re-test on my thyroid levels since they haven't heard of any other alternative treatments that have proven to work. I have retested twice since June and my levels have stayed down which make me very happy and my doctor must be convinced with my results!!!  Now I tell my doctor that my using Chinese Medicine is proof that it's working to keep me free from having to take other kinds of drugs or surgery later.

Muki gives me acupuncture treatments that are very relaxing to me (it actually puts me to sleep), and he offers me high quality supplements to support my system with at affordable prices.

Other treatments he gives me are chinese herbs for seasonal sinus & respiratory conditions, occasional inflamation flare-ups in my knee, and PMS.

Acupuncture and chinese medicine are new to me, and really work for me!!!

Muki's office is pleasant and calming. It puts me in a relaxed mood as soon as I enter and all office staff are friendly and helpful  :)

Thank you Muki  :)"

"Mukhtar Ramsey, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M. is a very skilled and caring practitioner.  As a marathon runner I suffered from a variety of hip, knee and ankle ailments.  His treatment provided dramatic relief after just one or two treatments.  He took a personal interest in my overall health and even gave me effective healing strategies I could practice on my own between treatments.  Thank you Muki!"

“The results of working with Muki /acupuncture have been amazing!  I encourage anyone searching for balance in any aspect of their life to enlist Muki’s services.”

S. Estus

"For the past eight years, I have experienced a constant aching in my knees.  In early 2008, I injured my right knee (torn cartilage).  I consuted with my orthopedic surgeon who made the diagnosis of arthritis in both knees.  I endured a series of injections in both knees as an alternative to surgery.  I was told that my next step would probably be knee replacement.  This past summer, I consulted with Muki and began a series of 12 weekly acupuncture treatments and herbal supplements.  We also discussed other medical issues and dietary solutions.  At the end of week 11, I was no longer experiencing pain in my knees and was able to engage in physical activities without swelling and more pain.  Also, I have discontinued my cholesterol medication and a recent lab test showed no rise in my cholesterol.  I finally 'get the point!'" 

D. Brekke

I was referred to Muki Ramsey by my dentist.  I had been under a great deal of stress and had developed jaw pain from clenching my teeth.  My dentist and I talked about options that I might try such as chiropractic care or acupuncture.

Given that I had utilized acupuncture for various things over the course of my life, I opted to go to Muki for acupuncture.  He was very thorough in our first meeting, more so than any other acupuncturist that I had been to.  He really listened and had a very caring manner.  I really believe that his treatment and compassion made a difference in helping to control the stress that my body was experiencing.  I have recommended him to two co-workers and would highly recommend him to anyone!"

"Mukhtar Ramsey has been treating me for 3 years with acupuncture and herbs.  I nominate him as Phoenix's finest acupuncturist."

D. Samuels

"I've been an acupuncture patient of Muki Ramsey's for the last year.  My overall health and stamina has improved ten fold from when I first walked into his practice.  His caring nature combined with the herbal formulas and acupuncture treatments is a balm for the body, mind and spirit.  I highly recommend him as a first rate medical professional who gets results with his patients."

J. Callahan

"Muki Ramsey is an excellent acupunturist! I went to Muki for help with migraines that I have suffered from for years. In just a few months, Muki was able to significantly reduce the occurance of the migraines and the ones I do still happen to get are really only headaches. Muki's passion for his work is very apparent as soon as you sit down to talk with him. He takes the time to explore what the causes of your health issues may be whether it is diet, excercise or external stresses. If you are looking for non-traditional rememdies for treating any health problems you may have or if you just want to feel better overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Muki Ramsey."

L. Osterhoudt

For two years I gave it all a try from physical therapy, pain shots to chiropratic care. A potential surgery, with no promise of success, led me to try acupuncture. While not crazy about needles, I was willing to give it a try. After a year of what I call,"Muki Care" my arm and shoulder are pain-free with 99% range of motion. I am now on a maintenance program to make sure it stays mobile and pain-free. Muki is a very caring and knowlegeable acupuncturist. He is a blessing to any health and wellness program and my miracle man. Muki, thank you.

N. Wukitsch

"Muki is a healer, there is no doubt about it. He has a remarkable way of putting one in a peaceful state, regardless of the condition someone is in. (I can speak on this personally, and based on seven different clients who have shared their success in working with him). I want the world to know about Muki and the incredible results he will absolutely bring, because there is no need to suffer!! I will PAY for someone’s visit, who doesn’t believe they’re  on their way to healing and better place, after meeting with Muki.  Muki is the answer to just about any ache, attitude, sickness, pain, state of mind and anything else that decreases the quality of your experience on this planet."

J. Furrier

"I am a 31 year old man who struggled with everyday mental focus and was addicted to cigarettes. I started getting acupuncture treatment to help better my mental focus and to also assist me to quit smoking. I have been going to Zen Medicinals for about 8 weeks now usually once a week for an hour long treatment session. At first I was a bit skeptical about the beneficial results of acupuncture, but after just one treatment with Muki Ramsey I could tell that this was very powerful stuff! After my first session I felt drastically more focused more balanced and just better, both physically and mentally. As I continued through each weekly treatment session Muki had me on a program to ween myself off of cigarettes. Each week I was allowed to smoke less. By the 6th week or so I was noticing my nicotine cravings were becoming less frequent and I had better self control not to give in and light one up. Now I am proud to say I have been smoke free for a month and feel great! Muki Ramsey is a great acupuncturist and a great healer as well. He is a very real person who doesn't treat you like "just another patient" which from my past experiences is the impression I have got from most all physicians or other doctors. Muki Ramsey takes time to get to know his patients and really cares for his patients as well. He is very passionate about his work which seems like a dying art in this day and age. The main thing I love about acupunture is that it is a preventive form of treatment for a wide variety of ailments. Acupuncture has been used for centuries for relief and treatment, that alone should be reason enough to go see Muki Ramsey for treatment for your ailment! Even if you are one who is afraid of needles, you should give it a try. Acupuncture is basically pain free without all the negative side effects from prescription drugs. With all that said I highly recommend you get your appointment scheduled with Muki Ramsey at Zen Medicinals. He is great at what he does and I guarantee he will help you feel better and heal!"
