I cannot say enough good things about B. Well Acupuncture! Though initially unsure of acupuncture…read moreand the benefits of this ancient practice, I have felt so much better, both mentally and physically, since I have been visiting B. Well Acupuncture! Not only is Melissa well-informed and extensively trained in traditional Chinese medicine, she is also warm and genuinely concerned with the well being of clients. During my first session, Melissa took the time to listen to my concerns and truly discover all of my ailments. While I wanted to try acupuncture to relieve my stress and anxiety, I learned that depression, sinus congestion, and back pain could also be addressed through acupuncture. These hair-thin needles balance the body's energy, stimulate healing, and promote relaxation. During my 45 minute sessions, I have thoroughly enjoyed taking a break from the outside world while sitting back and listening to calming music. In addition to acupuncture, Melissa alleviates my back pain with cupping. Though only a few minutes, these suction cups drastically reduce pain and inflammation, while promoting healthy blood flow, relaxation, and well-being. Best of all, my insurance covers these sessions and appointments can be easily scheduled on the website at your convenience! While pain relievers address the symptoms of discomfort and allergy medicine can temporarily relive congestion, they do not treat the cause of these ailments. If you are looking to truly heal your body by regulating immune function, B. Well Acupuncture is the place to begin!

I have no aches or pains that last any matter of time. Gabriella is great fun to be around and makes the experience enjoyable. She educates me on different areas too, such as stretching and diet.

That's when I found Dr. Lee, and I couldn't be more grateful. From my very first session, I felt a noticeable difference. Dr. Lee is truly one of the best acupuncture doctors in San Diego--her knowledge, skill, and care are unparalleled. Her approach is holistic and personalized, taking the time to understand not just my symptoms but my overall health. Over the course of several treatments, my stomach pain has significantly decreased, and I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. What Western medicine wasn't able to resolve, acupuncture with Dr. Lee has managed to do. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is struggling with pain or other health issues.

I made myself a cup of the herbs that Dr. Lee prepared for me that night and by the morning, the skin issues on my neck and ears were completely gone and the issues on my torso were barely noticeable - no inflammation nor itching. The pain in my back was completely alleviated. I was very intentional and present in my acupuncture session with Dr. Lee - not passive like I've been in sessions before with other acupuncturists. I truly believe the combination of intentionality during the acupuncture session and Dr. Lee's herbs healed my body so deeply that I had to share. She is a very powerful healer and I will most definitely incorporate her into my self-care practice regularly. Angel, her office manager, is so very gentle and accommodating. Such a wonderful experience.

Like a lot of people I am DEATHLY afraid of needles, like to the point where I sometimes pass out because of it (LOL). She was so calm, and went really slow and made it a very comfortable situation. Let me tell you, you can barely feel the needle when it's inserted. She puts on relaxing music, a lavender eye pillow(by request). And ends with a nice neck massage. The more and more I go, I like to try new things. I've been doing "cupping". Which kind of hurts a little at first, but then is like a massage once you get over the pain. I'm obsessed with it! I've been having this dull pain in my SI joint, so we worked on that the last appointment, the pain is GONE! I love Mariel more than just My acupuncturist, she's a great friend and a wonderful spirit.

I never tried acupuncture prior to seeing Erica and can't not see her each week. Getting acupuncture with Erica is one of the only things that always brings me pain relief. Erica is a natural healer and has incredible intuition and knowledge of the body. While I always communicate my needs before each session, she seems to know where my body or back needs attention without me having to say anything. Erica is kind, gentle, compassionate, generous with her time and attention, and goes above and beyond to make sure her patients are taken care of. She is not afraid to try different modalities within her practice and truly focuses on what you need. I am not exaggerating by saying I feel like I visit heaven while receiving care from Erica. You will leave feeling relieved, relaxed, and ready to take on whatever is next. I can't recommend Erica enough. If you are on the fence about seeing her, I promise you won't regret it!

I HATE NEEDLES... I…read morenever thought I would allow someone to stick needles into me, the thought of going to the doctor to get a shot is on my top 10 list of things that I never want to know. That is why I find it amazing writing a review about acupuncture. I turned 30 and I had developed a wheat allergy, every time that I ate anything with wheat I would pay for it the next day doubled over in pain, it was not worth it. I had talked to my doctor and was referred to GI doctors but none of them could help me. That is when a friend of mine said I should try acupuncture. I almost lost it right then and there, thinking about being stuck just freaked me out. But I really wanted to eat wheat again and I was desperate to go back to eating tasty cookies and fluffy pancakes. I booked an appointment with Erica Stark, naturally I was hesitant about going, I almost didn't even show up to my first appointment! My Experience: The Office - Located in Kearny Mesa in the medical center across the street from the Home Depot, I took the elevator up to the 4th floor and walked into the nicely decorated office. The room was dimmed and a small fountain was along the wall. The office had a pleasant smell, not sure what to call it but it was calming, I needed calming. Erica - I was greeted by the acupuncturist, she was sweet and understanding of my fear. She assured me that the process was painless and that my fears were normal. She knew what she was talking about, and while I know very little about eastern approaches to medical care her confidence put me at instant ease. The Treatment - I was surprised to find myself sitting on a regular treatment table just like my doctors office. Erica interviewed me asking about my health history, why I was seeking treatment and documented it all like a regular doctor. She took my wrists in her hands and felt my pulse, somehow she could feel that I was indeed having troubles with my stomach and then she asked me about my headache.. I was startled, I didn't tell her about the mild headache that I was feeling, it was just background noise from earlier in the day, but she could tell by my pulse, that was cool. Erica asked me to lay down on the table, my moment of dread was fast approaching. She showed me the needles, I was stupefied, they were SO TINY. The needles didn't even look like needles, the diameter was about the width of my hair, not much at all! I laid back, and she started. I couldn't watch, she placed this little tube against a point on my wrist and I felt pressure. I was wondering when she was going to put the needle in and she asks how was it. I blinked, was it in? It was! I didn't feel a stab, not even a poke. I looked at it, the needle was in, and it didn't even go deep, I could barely feel it. Erica proceeded to place more needles in other points, none of them hurt. She told me to lay still and relax, 10 minutes later she removed the needles and I was done. There was no blood, I could not even tell where the needles went in. I have now seen Erica 5 times, and while I am not cured of my wheat intolerance, I am no longer a victim of cross contamination. I have also realized that when I go to a session I just feel better for days. I am not sure of why it works but it sure does. tldr; being treated by Erica has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made, and the needles don't even hurt.

I have been seeing Erica for about two months now and could not be happier that my doctor referred…read moreme to her! She is professional, knowledgeable, and a joy to be around. Due to multiple car accidents, the most recent just over a year ago, I have chronic back and neck pain. When I first started seeing Erica I was under an intense treatment plan to manage my pain. I was having to get a 90 minute deep tissue massage twice a week as well as see my doctor (D.O.) for adjustments twice a week just to be able to function and continue working full time. Almost immediately after my first treatment I was able to start stretching out my other treatments. We slowly stretched them out and I am currently only doing one two hour deep tissue massage and one adjustment with my D.O. every two weeks! Now I realize that this might sound like it is still a lot a treatment, but what's important is that it is truly a lot of progress. I have even been able to slowly start working back into doing some of my fun hobbies! Acupuncture with Erica is the only treatment option that I have tried that has actually allowed me to cut back on my other treatments, and believe me I've tried a lot over the last year! Her abilities reach far beyond just pain issues too. I have literally walked into her office with a migraine and walked out without even a headache. I have been shocked by how many different ailments Erica is able to help with. Erica has not only improved my chronic pain condition, but she has improved my quality of life and enabled me to start having fun again. As a patient with a lot of experience in dealing with chronic pain and doctor's offices, I highly recommend seeing Erica!
