Ask whether a community-care referral for acupuncture is appropriate for you.
Confirm your provider

Experience that connects
A fellow veteran.
An experienced acupuncturist.
Before founding Augusta Acupuncture Clinic, Dr. Sherrell served as the primary licensed acupuncturist in the Interdisciplinary Pain Management Center at Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center from 2013–2017.
A U.S. Army veteran who served with the 82nd Airborne Division, he brings experience working alongside military health care teams to his care for fellow veterans.
Your first appointment
