Great experience! All staff super nice and polite! They show that they really care about you and your wellness

They are prompt, professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. Different acupuncturists have different qualities but I have liked all 3 for different reasons. The massage therapists are very good and if you ask for lighter or softer they will oblige. read more

I'm always impressed with how much better I feel when I visit Dr. Zen. I'm really happy he is in Rosedale now so I can go more frequently. I would encourage anyone to try him out. You won't regret it! read more

Communication doesn't seem to be a high priority. I called and left a message and messaged them through they website. They never got back to me on either form of communication. I thought they must have been shut down but based on other comments it looks like they are still open. read more

The best Acupuncture Doctor in town. The office staff are very nice and helpful. My whole family love this place! We truly recommend Acupuncture and Herbs. read more

I been trying to get an appointment with this place for months and is just impossible. I use their website and call multiple times leaving a VM as well. The only thing left I guess is to go in person to try to get an appointment. They are just not accessible at all!!! read more

I've tried holistic medicine couple time in my life and I've never felt "protected". I've never felt that it can help me, because all places I visited were crappy. So, before I went to see Dr. Zen I've already had expectations. But this time was different! From the first second I came I felt that it's something different. First of all, when I came in the office manager was super professional and did my paperwork quickly. Secondly, when I came into the room it was super clean, smelled good and there's was a locker where I put all my personal stuff. My first treatment was with Dr. Zen who was very empathetic and he listened to my concerns about my pain. Right after acupuncture treatment I received a massage that brought me to another level ;) I felt so safe, so loved and new I was treated by a professional. My second treatment was with Dr. Lee who was super nice and even more empathetic or maybe I was in different mood :)). All in all, I've changed my mind about acupuncture and I really felt better! This is the place to heal, relax and enjoy! read more

On a Friday a few months ago I was injured and couldn't walk on my left ankle, but I wanted to work so I visited. I was literally was up and about a few hours later. Then following Monday I went to work as a demolition specialist feeling perfectly energized and confident that I was up to the task, and I was. Dr. Z. was gentle and listened to my concerns. My wait was super short even though I had made my appointment last minute. I didn't need pills or anything that would hinder my work. I would definitely return for treatment... the acupuncture and other methods used were completely painless and highly effective! I'm so happy I found this gem in downtown Bakersfield. read more

I should start by saying "I hate needles". This is not needles they are so tiny it's not even close to the same. I usually receive treatment while laying on my stomach so I don't see anything. My first treatment was after a major pull in my back that was worsened by stress & "resting." The doctor told me I needed cortisone shots in my spine & a bulging disk coupled with spasms could only be corrected with surgery. I walked into Dr Zens office hunched over and after first treatment the superficial spasms stopped immediately. As long as I am consistent during stressful times and right before my cycle I have not been crippled by backpain since I started. I never had shots or surgery, just yoga, sleep & acupuncture. The short massage after needle treatment is heaven. read more

From start to finish this is the BEST acupuncturist I have used! The office girls are so friendly and sweet and they already all know me by name! Dr Zen is kind, caring and is a master healer in my book. My first appointment 3 weeks ago, I walked in to the office waiting room with my walker. After being in a horrific accident and shattering my leg, then surgery with a plate and 8 screws, 4 months later, I am still in severe pain and I still can not walk unassisted. The 2nd week of appointments, I am able to use a cane! What unbelievable improvement! I was beyond thrilled for my improvement in just 2 appointments! And I really thought that it was the best I would get, after being told that i needed 2 more surgeries and a total knee replacement by my orthopedist. But after the 2nd week and 4 appointments, I walked in to the office without a cane and completely unassisted and barely limping. This 3rd week, I am barely limping and my pain is literally gone! I have the best experience at Acupuncture and Herbs every time I go and I am beyond thankful for discovering Dr Zen and his natural approach to healing and pain control. I have also had very good results with the massage therapists there! After the acupuncture then you get 15 minutes of massage and it is great! The appointments are so healing and relaxing. I definitely feel better every time I leave Acupuncture and Herbs! I am ecstatic for my progress and look forward to every appointment! read more

The best. Friendly staff. Great for so many aches, pains, and day to day problems. They take insurance and they are so professional. Just fantastic! read more

As I grew up in Hong Kong, so I had acupuncture and herbals almost all of my life. I never like seeing doctor and have western medicine as me and my family pursue body healing in a natural way. Therefore, I searched online and found this place. I like how Dr. Zen would focus on the problems that I have. I had dizziness and headache these couple weeks after traveling to several places. My body felt so weak, like literally no energy. But after doing couple treatments, my energy started coming back and I feel so much released right now. His skills are excellent and effective. If any of you looking for natural alternative and tired of taking medicine, then he is your guy. Highly recommended :) read more

Acupuncture & Herb changed my life. I am so thankful that I finally took the proper steps to take care of my body. I have been dealing with several issues with my lower back and right arm for years. I have tried everything under the sun to help with the pain. Dr. Zen and Eva helped me right away. I felt so much better after my first visit, and after my second I felt like a new man. Dr. Zen truly cares about his patients. He takes the time to understand what issues need to be looked at and he carefully explains what he is going to do to help. He is always so positive and warm and welcoming every time I see him. Eva is the best massage therapist I have ever worked with (and I have worked with a lot). She also inquires about problem areas and takes her time making sure that each area is worked on. She is very precise with her methods. She makes you feel comfortable and is very caring. If you go, ask for Eva! read more

The best part about bakersfield is this wonderful place and their staff camille is the best but to be honest they are all great. The moment you walk in it feels like home. Dr. Zen is so nice and personable. My sciatica has tremendously decreased I cant be more grateful for them. Highly recommend !! Esp if you are on your feet a lot like me. read more

My experience was nothing short of amazing!!!!! Joseph has so much experience and my back and neck pain has almost completely disappeared. Every time I get acupuncture from him I always feel more magical! His massage therapists are great too! read more

I have been going here since 2014, and have never had a bad experience. They are so accommodating and quick and efficient with all the services they offer. I love that my insurance covers the treatments, but they are so affordable if you pay out of pocket as well. The reason I am finally writing a review is that I pulled my back while moving furniture on Sunday, called Monday and they were able to get me in the same day (wooo!!) and now it is Tuesday and MY BACK IS ALL BETTER IN JUST ONE DAY! I was in agonizing pain Sunday, couldn't even sleep. Monday I receive acupuncture which Dr. Zen focused on my area of pain while also doing a few relaxing points- then asked if I will willing to try electro therapy (I never do anything besides acupuncture & massage) and I trusted him and went for it and it was pleasant very, very comfortable but I think made a huge difference in my healing. Then, for my 15 minute massage she focused again on the area bothering me and even went so far as to put natural herbal pain relieving balm and patches that last 8 hours on the area as well as sending me home with more to change them out with. I went to bed last night feeling 90% better and switched the patches... woke up today at 100%. I have always loved this place, but this kind of recovery just makes me that much more of a supporter! I have only ever gone for anxiety or relaxing, stress relief- but I know if something ever happens that they can fix it. read more

This office is amazing. I have been struggling with lower back pain, headaches, anxiety, and weight gain issues over the past few years. One of my close friends had recommended this office to me. Dr. Zen and his staff took good care of me. From the moment I arrived, I felt very welcomed and the staff were friendly. I told Dr. Zen about my issues with lower back pain, headaches, stress, anxiety, blood pressure and weight gain. He then treated me with acupuncture in the areas where I was feeling pain. You don't feel any pain or even a prick of the needle. The whole experience was actually pretty relaxing. After the treatment, you get a massage. I left feeling refreshed and I could immediately tell a difference in the stress levels and the lower back. I was so impressed with the treatments that I even suggested this office for both my mom and dad. Even they were really impressed and are feeling better now. I would totally recommend this office if you are looking for acupuncture or an alternative form of treatment. Give them a call and schedule your appointment today. read more

Most amazing experience! The staff are very professional and Dr. Zen is very knowledgeable.

As I ventured to Bakersfield,Ca I was recommended to try Acupuncture & Herbs. Dr has pleasant voice great bedside manners. The office was clean and smelled very aromatic the young girls were very businesslike and helpful. Although the massage therapist is very rough, less considerate of pain ;even when I advices her. Ava was her name she asked me lots of questions about my life and her laugh was very piercing to my ears as I just want to relax. I will continue to use the corner massage shops, less talk and more relaxation. She expressed how she feels about working there and her co workers wonder why she's still employed there? Makes you wonder. She told me many things that as a first time customer has made me a last time customer. As to the Dr advice if an employee is unhappy and rude why ruin your office with a rotten apple. read more

Dr. Zen and his staff are amazing. I've been going for months now and feel so much better! He's helped with everything from stress, tension, isolated pains and even preventative sea sickness before a cruise I took. I highly recommend Acupuncture and Herbs. read more

I started going to Dr. Zen a few years ago for my severe headaches and high levels of stress. I was going twice a week and throughout that time, the number of headaches I had throughout the week dramatically decreased. I wasn't carrying pain pills in my purse ready for the sudden onset of a migraine or tension headache anymore. The acupuncture along with their other in house services (massage & chiropractic) seriously made me feel better than I ever have before. Even after my pain and discomfort dwindled, I continued to go just for overall wellness. Dr. Zen also helped with my common colds, digestive issues and stress management too! If it wasn't for my change of insurance, I'd still be going every week - I could really use it!! I highly recommend Dr. Zen and his staff if you're tired of pumping your body full of pain pills and western medicine that doesn't seem to work...give it a shot! You won't regret it' read more

Very helpful and truly cares about your health. Have already seen an improvement with my stomach issues after three treatments.

Dr. Zen was amazing! After I sustained a broken collar bone a year ago, I have suffered from consistent muscle spasms down the length of my shoulder blade and nerve pain down my right arm. I have never done acupuncture before, but now, I am hooked. Dr. Zen inserted a series of needles in my back and arm, and when he tapped the last needle into my arm, I could literally feel a burst of tension rush out of my body. After 10 minutes, I began breathing faster, but calmly. My temperature seemed to rise. My head cleared. The experience in-and-of-itself was unique. After the needles were removed I received a focused massage that sealed the deal. I left Dr. Zen's office so relaxed I couldn't listen to the radio or even drive the speed limit. Sorry fellow drivers. read more

I cannot thank my co-worker enough for recommending Dr. Zens Services. It has now been 3+ years and I have no plans to stop now. All I can say is try a few sessions and you will be amazed at the difference in your health and overall well being. Dr Zen is professional and he listens to your needs. By the way most of the herbs he prescribes actually do the job, cant say that for Pharmaceutical medicine! From the bottom of my heart thank you Dr Zen and Staff!! read more
