Our Acupuncturists

Carly and Dominic Leotti have been licensed Florida Acupuncture Physicians aka Doctors of Oriental Medicine since 2010. They founded Good Medicine Community Acupuncture in 2012 to bring affordable care to everyone in the SWFL area. Since then they’ve provided over 70,000 treatments to over 9,400 of your friends and neighbors!

They graduated from the East West College of Natural Medicine where they learned acupuncture and herbal medicine as well as receiving training in modern medicine. This allows them to be able to competently discuss lab results, MRI reports and potential drug/supplement interactions, something every natural health provider should be able to do.

When they’re not busy saving the world with acupuncture they are raising their two boys, Galen and Kahless.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Can Acupuncture Help With?

The most common thing we see is pain, but acupuncture is useful at helping with everything from stress and anxiety to women’s health to stroke recovery and many things in between. If your condition is something we don’t believe we have a good chance of helping we are always quick to clearly communicate that. Ultimately we want you to get the best care possible, even if that’s not with us. 

How Often Do I Need To Come In?

For most patients starting out we will recommend treatment twice per week for the first 2-3 weeks. Once things are doing better and staying that way for most of the week, folks come in as they feel like they need it, usually tapering off frequency as things improve. More severe cases sometimes need more frequent treatment in the beginning, just because more frequent treatment generally means quicker results.

Does It Hurt?

No, not really. You might feel a slight pinch, like a mosquito bite, and occasionally a mild achy muscle sensation.  Acupuncture needles are very tiny, about the width of a human hair, so small that you can easily fit over a dozen of them in the head of a needle used to draw blood. 

Can I Fill Out The Paperwork Ahead Of Time?

Absolutely! As of August 2024 we have switched over to entirely electronic forms, so when you schedule online you’ll have the forms right there to fill out. If you can’t do them online we’ve got an iPad you can fill them out on when you get here!

How Does The Sliding Scale Work?

Simple: you choose what you pay within the suggested $20-$50 range, that’s it. Your treatment will be the same no matter what you pay. Doing income verification is a massive hassle, instead we trust our patients to pay us what they’re comfortable paying. 

Do You Take Walk-Ins?

Appointments are strongly preferred and very easy to make online, or by phone or text, even same day! That said, if you just show up without an appointment we aren’t going to make you leave. If we have space we will fit you in, but there may be a significant wait depending on appointments already on the books. 

You Treat In A Group Setting? What's That Like?

We liken our comfy recliner circle to a comfortable living room environment: theres soft lighting and chill music plays while folks nap in recliners while the needles do their work. The style of acupuncture we practice uses mostly points from the knees and elbows down, so you never have to undress beyond rolling up your sleeves and pant legs.

But What If I Have Back Pain?

A good 60% of our practice is lower back painand its been many years since we have put a needle in a back. Quite simply we don’t have to put a needle right where the pain is to treat it. Acupuncture points are found along channels or meridians that run throughout the body, so we can treat the whole body with points just on the arms or legs. 

Does Affordable Mean Less Effective?

Not at all! We’ve actually found that folks get better faster when they’re surrounded by others who share a common sense of purpose: feeling better and getting deep relaxation.
