Best overall acupuncturist in Telford: long-established Telford practice with a published session rate

Martin Bailey Acupuncture in short

Martin Bailey Acupuncture is a long-established Telford practice working from Charlton Medical Centre in Oakengates, with a second clinic room at the practitioner's home in nearby Gnosall [1]. Our verdict is that the checkable history sets it apart: the site states practice from Charlton since 2003 after three years of study, and the practitioner is listed on the BAcC register at Charlton Medical Centre [1] [2]. The site sets out the treatments offered with patient reviews quoted, and gives phone, email and contact-form routes [1].

Customer reviews are spotless but few, at five stars from five Google ratings, and Martin Bailey Acupuncture publishes no insurance detail [3] [1]. Our review finds the published session rate and out-of-hours availability at the home clinic the practical strengths, with the thin review base the honest limitation [1].

Our verdict

Our judgement: this practice suits you if you want an acupuncturist with a long, checkable history in Telford and a BAcC listing behind the name [1] [2]. The published £40 session rate keeps the cost clear from the start [1]. What counts against it is a small review base of five ratings and no stated insurance cover [3] [1].

Questions about Martin Bailey Acupuncture

Yes. BAcC membership is stated on the practice website and the practitioner is listed on the BAcC register at Charlton Medical Centre, so you can check the name yourself [1] [2].
