Meet Dr. Sara Ryan

Quiet expertise, twenty years in one place.

Sara Ryan, D.Ac., is a Rhode Island native who returned to New England in 2002 after studying and practicing acupuncture and Chinese medicine in Los Angeles and Santa Monica. She has cared for a generation of Rhode Islanders since, with patience, attention, and a steady hand.

A former competitive athlete drawn to Eastern medicine, she graduated Summa Cum Laude from Emperor's College and interned at UCLA Medical Center.

Kind words

What our patients say.

After struggling with infertility, I decided to give acupuncture a try. I saw an improvement in my treatment cycles after starting acupuncture and it has also helped my anxiety significantly. Beyond the medical piece she is such a caring, compassionate person who wants success for all of her patients!

After trying all sorts of interventions to try to get pregnant, sessions with Sara did the trick! Three babies later, she gets all of the credit. Her office is a sanctuary and her work is painless and effective.
Verified patient
Dr. Ryan helped to relieve low back and hip pain I had for over 5 years. I had tried physical therapy for years and didn't see much improvement. In just a few visits I noticed significant improvement.
Verified patient
I am a week away from my 60th birthday, and have seen many skilled and compassionate people to help me sustain and improve my health. There is not a single one among them who has helped me more than Sara.
Verified patient
Her office is warm and inviting, filled with plants and a relaxing vibe. She has helped me treat chronic Lyme disease and back pain, among other things. She is friendly, cheerful, intuitive, and very knowledgeable.

Dr. Sara Ryan is a blessing. She's patient, kind, gentle, a great listener, and a true healer. I've been a patient of hers for 5 years now for back/hip pain and general wellness treatments. Every session brings relief.

I've been seeing Dr. Ryan for 8 years and I can't recommend her highly enough; I'd say she is the best I've ever experienced. Sara is my 'go to' needle lady!
