"Quiero reconocer y dar gracias a la Dra.
Jacqueline Maliwat. Me atendió de una dolencia que venía presentando
en el brazo derecho y que no cedían los dolores con ningún
tratamiento y ella con el metodo de acupuntura logró que
desaparecieran los dolores hasta el día de hoy. De esto hace 6 meses
y me siento muy bien.
Muchas gracias y que Dios la bendiga."
