I highly recommend Adam. He's extremely knowledgeable and an amazing practitioner. What I love most about Adam's approach is the care he places into the healing process for his patients. You sense it the moment you meet with him. I've had to live with severe headaches and knee pain for many years and tried different acupuncturists and treatments over the years with very little success. I'm happy to share that my knee pain and headaches are completely gone now because of Adam. Give Adam a call if you're looking to create balance in your life, relief from pain, and/or heal your body. read more

As a Chinese who grew up and experienced Chinese healing modalities, Adam and Kelly are magic. I had been searching for the alignment with my physical body, emotional body, and spiritual body, as I felt stuck in my physical body and procrastinate with my emotions before seeing Adam. He has one of the most authentic hearts, compassionate, patient, courageous, intuitive, and artfully skillful. I felt the difference right away in the first session. He truly takes a stand for healing for my best interests. Kelly is also very loving and intuitively knowing. This is the third time I saw him, he literally put the power back to me and invite me to listen to my body and make decision from there. I feel empowered, renewed and energized to be who I am. read more

It's pretty hard to describe what Adam truly is, he is not one of these typical run of the mill Acupucture places every time I leave there I feel completely transformed. My soul gets fed, my life feels happy. I've been going through the most difficult things a person could ever go through yet after a session I'm happy and light. Laughter and joy is in my heart when it shouldn't be. His techniques are incredible and his wisdom indispensable . He is kind, he is caring truly a good person. It's a transformative experience and even a logical, science based person like me thinks of it as spiritual experience. Heart of gold too read more

Wow! Adam is a gifted healer! Within a short amount of time he identified my ailments some of which I wasn't even aware of. His approach includes physical, mental and emotional concerns and he addresses them with compassion and competence. I highly recommend Adam and his team if you want to be living your best life! read more

Adam and his team are amazing healers. Put a stop to the western medicine machine sending sending sending pharma to our houses now and get an appointment with Adam and his team. They are top of the class for holistic healing that works. Highly highly recommend! read more

Adam Atman is a phenomenal healer that I have been working with for nearly a year now to help open my heart chakra and move blocked energy through my bandhas. Adam's expertise spans acupuncture, plant medicine, qigong, and spirituality across the cultures. I am very blessed to have been guided to Dr. Atman. read more

Adam is my 5th acupuncturist, and the one I'll probably stay with as long as I live in the bay area. He really knows what he's doing. I originally saw Adam for burnout from overworking myself while running startups. He helped me get my energy back, and each treatment lowered my baseline stress level eventually back to a point where I could meditate again. The only reason I'm rating 4 stars is because Adam's previous location held many events and other types of practitioners. It was pretty special, and I miss it. He's in a cozy converted house, which is nice and quiet in comparison, and great for treatments. However, he now teaches QiGong in a nearby park, so no core element was really lost. Adam's combo of acupuncture, meridian massage, gemstone treatments, herbs, allergy testing, and knowledge of specific exercises to help with almost any physical or mental health condition makes him a great one-stop shop. The staff are nice too. read more

I agree with the other reviewers who say Adam is a true healer. I've been to see him only twice so far but trusted him right away. Due to his sharp insight, purging ritual and strategic placement of needles, I was able to release emotions I've held most of my life. I'm amazed and grateful and looking forward to healing deep health patterns with Adam's help. read more

I was looking for a new acupuncturist (my previous one was more of a "woman's" doctor), and was recommended Adam by someone I trust. I'm pretty much a western type of guy with fibromyalgia, diabetes and mood problems. I got there, and he had two students with him taking notes. He passed his hands over me looking for energy and I thought "Oh, he's one of THOSE type of doctors". Then I felt a sort of warm rolling pin over my body and I thought "Oh, he's a GOOD one of types of doctors". He's very personable with a good sense of humor. Great bedside manner and makes you feel at ease. He has an insatiable curiosity about all sorts of medicine, western and otherwise, and the curiosity extends to the patient. He's interested in you as well as your condition, and asked me all sorts of questions that no one else had. I've been telling people that Adam speaks several languages well. He speaks New Age, Taoist (spelling?), Chinese and Western. He is quite comfortable talking in whatever terms the patient seems confortable with. As I said, I'm pretty much a Western guy with a western medical doctor for a father and I'm an engineer. I also have a daughter learning chinese medicine in Boston. So he will talk to me about meridian lines and Qi, along with how the endocrine system works and getting moving so the lymph nodes get some exercise. When I talked about sleep problems, he talked to me about the latest research on "dark therapy" for sleep and mood (check it out on Google). He's fine with letting other doctors and chiropractors do their thing without hassle, though of course he wants to know what medications you are on so he doesn't interfere with their treatments. I've never felt rushed He has a degree in chinese medicine, generally has a number of students working with him, and teaches Qigong several times a week in his spacious studio across from Vasona Park. I've been seeing him once a week for several months. My wife and I just finished a weekend Qigong seminar and we'll both be going again. I have to say that Adam is one of the best health care professionals I've had the pleasure to work with. I recommend him highly. read more

There are doctors, and then there are healers. Adam is a healer - someone who will work with you personally and specifically, getting to know your comforts and discomforts, and will use any of a large arsenal of tools to help you to heal (breathwork, chinese herbs, acupuncture, meditation practice, counseling, etc.) Highly recommend seeing him for nearly all your health needs. read more

Adam Atman - "Earth" treatment room - Acupuncture Near Me - Campbell, California

See all

This review is belated, as my family and I, have consulted Adam over the years. I've not left a review because I want to save him all for myself :-), but I realize that he'd like to run his business and I saw some negative reviews here, which made me want to defend my favorite acupuncturist/healer/therapist/herbologist in the Bay Area. The first time I consulted him was in 2013, and it was for my 7 year old son suffering from knee pains, that regular doctors kept talking about as "normal growing pains". It was frustrating to hear my kid in pain and feed him painkillers, so I wanted to try some alternative therapy. A friend gave a glowing review for Adam, so I thought I'll give him a try. So, I take my son in, and Adam puts him at ease immediately with his friendly talk. Considering he was going to stick a bunch of needles on a toddler, this is not an easy task, but he managed to do just that. I had TONS of questions which he answered patiently, and Adam even tried a foot bath for my son, made him do some yoga postures, prescribed medicines and gave a PAGE full of advice on how to handle these pains without resorting to Children's Mortrin. I was super suspicious about feeding my kid herbs that I did not know the ingredients of, and Adam silenced the skeptic in me by painstakingly explaining EACH ingredient on EACH unpronouncable medicine. I quickly realized this man is a treasure trove of knowledge. To my surprise, AFTER my sons' 1-1.5 hour appointment was over, I got a complimentary appointment!!?! Not really sure how that happened, but if you have the fortune of getting to know Adam and he doesn't have a line of people waiting(I was luckily the last appointment of the day), this may happen to you, as Adam is NOT a regular doctor AT ALL. He treats his patients with UTMOST kindness and will give you 10 hours if he could :-) I was so surprised that he started finding out about my aches and pains and diagnosing them, that I quickly came back a week or two later for my own appointment. I mean, who does that? A GP will not even let you ask another question for your family besides the patient he is treating in these days and times. The thing with Adam is, he REALLY CARES! WOW! I did not respond very well to acupuncture, I got woozy the first time, not sure why but Adam proceeded to do accupressure massages for me, and those were heavenly. Adam is NOT at all traditional in his approach, he is so knowledgeable about healing therapies that he will do what it takes to make you fit as a fiddle! He is most non-judgemental and you can talk to him about anything. Sometimes he surprises me by touching a nerve center and telling me what is troubling me in my life! He is so insightful, that it's spooky! Flash forward to 2018, and MANY of my friends and family have enjoyed visiting Adam's clinic. They all think he's a rockstar so I am not the only one! In any case, fan for life! read more

I have been seeing Adam for the last couple of years. I just finished a round of Chinese herbs he specially formulated for me. I have suffered of hormonal migraines for the past 15 years and after taking his formula for 30 days, I had my first migraine free menstrual cycle. Adam is a gifted and highly intuitive healer and by far the most competent herbalist I've ever worked with. I highly recommend him! read more

I was referred to Adam from a family friend and I've been coming to Adam for over a month now. He is truly a gem and a healer in every sense of the word. My son was diagnosed with epilepsy not too long ago and dealing with intense anxiety. Adam specializes in addressing health issues that not only stop at physical concerns, but mental, emotional and spiritual concerns. I have many health ailments including anemia, chronic migraines, dizziness and emotionally I had a lot of trauma and heaviness from my past toxic marriage. Adam provided a safe space for us to be healed through all his practice. He is very genuine, sincere and very easy to talk to. Most importantly, he has gone above and beyond to help my son heal physically, mentally and emotionally, and since I have gone to him, I've felt better with every session. Adam is a very intuitive healer and he can sense emotional pains in places you've tried to hide it for years. I will continue to see Adam for as long as we need and would HIGHLY recommend him. read more

My husband feels that Adam saved his life when he had colitis so serious that he was not getting nourishment from his food. Adam stabilized him and his body put on not only weight but also muscle. When I had cancer, Adam not only gave me incredible support but also checked herbal supplements I was using to make sure there were no counter-indications with the medication I was being prescribed so I had the benefit of a variety of anti-cancer herbs in addition to the acupuncture and traditional treatment I received. He was tuned in to treat me personally not just one more patient. read more

Adam Atman is the most beneficial healing practicioner I have ever found. He knows how to heal both the body and the spirit, as the spirit is frequently the source of our problems. He finds and treats the roots of problems, instead of just the symptoms. He uses ancient techniques to heal the whole person, instead of just parts of someone. He cares for his patients at all levels of their being, instead of just the aspects we can see. His awareness and healing go deeply into many dimensions, instead of just into our physical selves. Personally, I have found that Adam has completely and permanently changed my life by helping me: -- reverse a crippling process with early childhood roots, which others called spinal injury and arthritis -- change from being unable to function to productive again -- 'recover' from depression and find joy in life again -- be guided from being unconscious of an abused early childhood to becoming conscious and healing -- resolve physical addictions and thrive in health - by prescribing Chinese herbs rather than pharmaceutical medications -- understand my lifelong efforts to 'escape' emotional pain (through my work, medications, books, and movies), by enhancing my spirit's awareness, which has allowed me to make my own choices -- change from continually seeking 'comfort' to accepting life's balance Adam has been able to accomplish these complex levels of healing in me by: -- applying his mastery of medical qi gong -- utilizing his sophisticated applications of acupuncture -- invoking both touch and non-touch tui na massage and healing -- calling upon his own deep spiritual awareness -- and by sharing his own personal multi-dimensional healing energies. His treatment of me as his patient has also included: -- instructing me in specific qi gong exercises -- tailoring Chinese herbs to the individual -- prescribing inner Taoist meditation practices as taught by Bruce Frantzis -- and providing numerous lifestyle and nutritional modifications. More than just having studied with the best of teachers and the most compassionate of healers, Adam has profoundly developed himself personally for 30 years, to reach a level of awareness and healing for his patients that is rarely found. I remain eternally grateful for Adam Atman's lifelong dedication to healing, his compassion for all beings, and his generous gifts of help, heart, and health - all of which I have not found with any other healing practicioner. read more

I have been working with Adam for a little over two years, and I have come to rely on him as my primary health care professional. Whether it's muscular tension, job stress, midlife changes or a cough that just won't go away, Adam has been able to help. What I like most about Adam's practice is that he is not just a capable acupuncturist and herbalist. If necessary, he will employ moxibustion, energy healing, and cupping along with soft tissue work, should it be required. I also never fail to leave with a list of manageable lifestyle or dietary recommendations to support and continue the healing benefits of his treatments. Adam is comfortable partnering with other health care professionals, be it Western medical doctors, chiropractors or massage therapists. He is immensely respectful of where I am in my journey, regardless of whether I'm ready for a big leap or the next baby step in my life. I have recommended him to several friends, clients, and colleagues, and they have also been pleased with the care and attention they received. read more

Rude and abusive. I am a patient of a therapist in the same building and today I saw a car parked in the middle of the parking lot of the building behind my car making it difficult for me to pull out. There were two men chatting in the parking lot whose cars were parked illegally. One of them was Adam's car. I asked whose car it was and he replied that it was his. I asked how can I pull out if the car is blocking my way? He screamed at me in response "YOU CAN PULL OUT USING YOUR DRIVING SKILLS!". Another man helped me pull out by pulling out his car which was in my way too. I considered this practice for acupuncture but there is no way I am going to this monster who is not only rude but also inconsiderate to others. read more

I love Adam. He gives everybody the time needed. He also comes with a lot of different tools to the table to help heal your back. The best Acupuntrist I have ever gone to. read more

If you are looking for both acupuncture and healing, you will be glad you found Adam. Adam helps me with a variety of issues - back pain, stress, fatigue, and some others. However, beyond just helping alleviate the symptoms, Adam helps me move through these physical issues and experience a deeper level of emotional or spiritual growth. I have worked with him during some of my most difficult times and have been incredibly grateful for his support and guidance. I even took my teenage son to him and my son is a tough sell on alternative things like acupuncture! Most son thought Adam was terrific. The health guidance he gave my son made a very big difference for him. I recommend him highly. He is a rare gem. We are lucky to have him here in Los Gatos. read more

Unprofessional, arrogant, abusive. First, everyone at the place ignored me. Then, after I had waited 10 minutes and my appointment was supposed to start, someone gave me a long questionnaire with questions that better therapists would ask in person, including questions about about your childhood. At one point, I told the student who filled in as receptionist (she said they don't have a real receptionist) "I think I'm going to leave" and after not hearing back for another few minutes, went to the door to leave. By that point, I had been there for 30 minutes, and my appointment was supposed to start 18 minutes ago. I had carved out 90 minutes of my day, and they were ticking away without my waiting even being acknowledged. As I turned to leave, Adam Atman finally noticed my presence and came after me. He grabbed my wrist and twisted it to look at my watch. Let me repeat that: He grabbed and twisted my wrist. Zero respect for a client. At this point you should know that I was a new client, this would have been my initial appointment, no established client relationship or anything like that, we hadn't really talked before besides the appointment. And in his first interaction with me, he grabs and twists my wrist like he's dealing with a naughty child. He explained to me in a condescending tone that it's absolutely normal to wait 15-20 minutes for appointments and that he feels like he doesn't owe me an apology. I know it's surprising, but he used those exact words - that he doesn't owe me an apology. If he had said "Sorry you had to wait" at any point, or "thanks for waiting", or anything that showed some decency, I would have stayed. But this behavior, together with the grabbing, was just abusive. He then threatened that he's still going to charge me $150 for my initial consultation - for sitting on a chair for 30 minutes with nobody talking to me, and then getting abused. There was another client and a student who filled in as receptionist. They were both visibly distressed by his behavior and apologetic about it. All in all, it was a terrible experience. I had paid $60 just for the Lyft rides 30 min each way to get to his place. It's not normal to be treated like that by health and wellness professionals, so, stay away. If you make the time and shell out your hard-earned money, you deserve to be treated in a respectful manner. read more

Messy and unprofessional. The exam room is a mess. There are dishes everywhere and board games in the open closet. The room to conduct acupuncture doesn't have a location to store clothes so you have to place your items on the ground. In the treatment Adam disappears first to get water. He returns then a few minutes later a male individual appears in my treatment room. Adam asks me if said male can join him in my treatment as he is training. This is happening while I'm laying on the treatment table with treatment underway. It was very bizarre. Once all the acupunture needles are placed he closes the door, says he will be right outside and to call for him if I need anything but that in 20 minutes he will come remove the needles. I had yelled "hello" for over 5 mins as I had been left in there for ~35-40 mins and needed to leave!! It's important to note when placing some of the needles Adam intentionally moved them around or pushed them deeper to cause a trigger of pain. My left calf is still in pain from the placement of one of his needles. I was not comfortable with this at all. I'm very disappointed and would not recommend this practice. read more

I have been under Adam's care on and off for over 15 years and have followed him from clinic to clinic. This new center, Los Gatos Acupuncture and QiGong Clinic, is also aptly nicknamed "Adam's Place" and truly mirrors Adam's innate spiritual sensibilities and highly trained methods and modes of healing. You get a nice surprise when you enter the center as each treatment room is a unique environment capturing a single element through Feng Shui directed lighting, color and scent. Adam's acupuncture and herbal treatments help me when my life is not making sense and my body is trying to tell me something is wrong. I always get more out of my acupuncture sessions than expected. More what you might ask? More awareness, more pause for reflection, more healing; and I leave with a greater sense of peace and balance. He always starts the session with "How's your body?" I love that question. Half the time I don't know. But I want to find out. You see, Adam has an uncanny ability to unlock the connection between how my life is going and how my body is feeling by checking pulses, tuning into my body and asking a few questions. He then methodically applies acupuncture treatment, writes down the treatment and leaves me to 'rest'. Depending on my condition, he may recommend QiGong movements and or Chinese herbs to supplement acupuncture. Western traditional medicine has its benefits but none can compare to the healing and knowledge I receive through Adam's care. read more

I have been seeing Adam for the last 6 months and he has been a big help with my stomach issues, diet, back issues and anxiety. He offers a vast array of knowledge from The Eastern medical world and is a very caring, compassionate and kind. I would recommend him to anyone looking for alternatives to Western medicine and feel that he has been a big help. read more

Adam changed my life! That's as good as it gets. I was suffering from migraines and after my first visit and his recommendations the occurence of migraines dramatically dropped. Also, as a lot of reviews state, Adam is an accomplished healer. He's helping me understanding how my body works according to my emotions. And it doesn't stop there! He recommended me some books to educate myself on the body and mind. Those books are changing my life as well. I am more aware and in tune with my body and spirit. And last but not least, the Qi Gong class is one of the most positively challenging class I ever experienced. Thank you Adam! read more

Adam is the most effective healing arts practitioner I have ever been treated by. His ability to zero in on what the issues are that are affecting your health is unparalleled in my own personal experience. He is a man of immense compassion and total devotion to the service of his patients. He is totally open to whatever works and freely offers nutritional advice as well as guidance for daily living. I can't say enough about Adam. We are very fortunate such a talented and selfless person providing a much needed service in Silicon Valley. read more

My husbands says that Adam saved his life back in 1999. He really listens and has a very calm and kind way of taking care of people. He is very knowledgeable about multiple herbal & healing traditions. When I fell and injured my shoulder a few years ago, I could not raise my arm higher than my waist. Adam fixed it. Currently getting ready to begin cancer treatment, I would not want to be without Adam to support me. He is one of a kind. read more

Los Gatos Acupuncture and Qigong is a wonderful place to really get in tune with your body through the classes they offer as well as the acupuncture, massage, and meditation practices. I was referred from a friend and I could not be more pleased. This place is run with integrity and grace and the services are personalized to meet my individual needs. In the short few months I have been coming I am more energized, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Adam takes the time to tune into an individuals needs with nurturing devotion to implement a plan of action to alleviate pain and give additional tools for better diet, lifestyle, and overall health. Adam implements these skills of action in a fun and integrative way so that it feels like a fun, action plan, full of adventure for self improvement and self love in the most interesting of ways. With much thanks and appreciation to the person who referred me as well as the whole staff at LGAQ! Wow! read more
