Dr. Lew is amazing I did accupunture for ivf and was able to conceive 2x pregnancy. The staff were professional and environment was calming. read more

Wow, glad I took a chance on acupuncture. Noticed a difference after first session. Slept great that night and each night after session. Got a 5 pack. Reasonably priced. Very flexible with appts and they often invite you to come early. read more

This place is truly amazing. Dr Lew cured my eczema after 10 visits. Everyone at this clinic is so professional and makes you feel so comfortable. I highly recommend this place. read more

I'd never had acupuncture before but last spring, I was at my wit's end with uncontrolled inflammation of my ulcerative colitis. I had already met with a colorectal surgeon about the next steps (removal of colon). After 8 months with Dr. Lew, I had my colonoscopy and a miracle happened! My colon was NORMAL. Completely and utterly normal - something I haven't had in ten years since my diagnosis. Even my GI doc says this is an absolute miracle! Dr. Lew is just amazing! read more

I've been to many different acupuncturists over the years and feel the best during and after my treatments with Dr. Lew. She has an upbeat personality, asks me questions to gain insight into how I'm doing and tailors the treatment to my needs. The team is also accommodating and makes your comfort a priority, by offering warmer and cooler rooms and other ways to make the temperature just right. I've really enjoyed my past treatments with Dr. Lew and look forward to the next one! read more

I think it's fair to say, I trust the process I just don't trust Dr. Lew. I wouldn't recommend anyone see her unless you are okay with her talking to you like she knows your body better than you do. I was referred to her by a local doctor who thought she would be able to help me rid of my systemic rash that I have been having for quite some time. Since this time I have had three children and we all know what children do to a women's physiology. Dr. Lew always seemed super rushed at the appointments, I realize they run "on time" however it was over-kill. Her demeanor was to "hurry up & finish talking". I also didn't get whole body evaluation from our initial visit because we didn't do any NAET treatments for hormones and the 2nd visit she was made aware that my stool test came back with candida and we didn't even do that protocol. She was pulling stuff out from thin air ..oh you eat a lot of chocolate? Okay let's do a protocol for chocolate. Oh you are still itching huh? Let's do chicken & eggs--I don't eat eggs. Even though years ago I told her I got a food allergy test and I was highly reactive to eggs & dairy--which I don't eat. I realize this treatment takes certain steps and protocols to "desensitize" you however why didn't she do the treatments specific to my issues at hand? Aka hormone & candida, no instead let's do chocolate & eggs! She tells you the treatment can takes MONTHS , numerous treatments upwards of 15-20+, though this is my 5-6x coming and apparently when I tell her I don't feel better she looks at me like I am psycho and makes an insult that I actually "don't want to admit I am getting better" like what?!? What planet are you from that you think people actually come in here and spend $90 for a treatment 1-2x a week and want to be sick?! Get real Dr. Lew. She doesn't hear you, she doesn't listen , she isn't interested in teaching you how to heal. Find a doctor who is open to conversation, appreciates constructive feedback & doesn't feel threatened when you question them. Here when I thought she handed me a list of professionals that could assist me in the future, she handed me the list of other NAET practitioners because she doesn't have the confidence in her abilities to treat you herself. She came across as thinking she knew more about my body that I did--I don't like that and to be frank--I don't think ANYONE would like that...I have been battling with this issue since I was pregnant with my 2nd child and I have seen a naturopath, dermatologist, been on many supplements, bloodwork evaluations. This is not my first rodeo and I deserve a little more respect & consideration, something she obviously cannot provide. Once I asked her what happens if this protocol doesn't work for people and she told me" those people like to be sick--it's their identity" --WOW. Thankfully there are many other NAET practitioners in SA that can provide positive energy & professional service. read more

I decided to give this place a chance because of the good reviews. I have a couple ailments, which Patricia told me over the phone she could help with. I'm a big believer in alternative medicine as there is much data supporting many of its practices. I have yet, however, to find these special people that express the first and most important component in healing, and that is Care. It's so difficult to find someone who not only (at the very least) has a logical scientific understanding of the alternative practice they are initiating, but actually looks at me with humbleness, care, and willingness to take as much time as needed to help me understand the truth behind what they are promising. It was no different here. Patricia came in, asked me about the two ailments I have, when they began and how often they occur. Same information she asked me over the phone. She then simply told me that I will need acupuncture and that she will recommend some herbal supplements. Nothing about: sleep diet mental health cooking material exposure to toxins what I put on my skin, hair, nails or anything of the sort. Not only that, she wanted to sell me on the idea that she cured me of my "dragon" (my decades of emotional trauma) by prodding my two small toes. Nothing is that simple, we all understand that. And no one type of healthcare professional can focus in depth on all different variables causing our ailments. This is common sense, but to Patricia all baggage of emotional trauma can be ridden of by poking your two small toes. She went on to do the acupuncture for the next minute, suggested I sleep but took no real effort to help relax me. When she came back in the room she asked if I slept, and when I said no giggled and said oh well maybe next time. You can just imagine the in-depth spiritual experience all of this was. She quickly took the needles out and said I'm done for the day and that she has two supplements up front for one of my ailments. I asked about the other ailment, she said it's my first time seeing you so I don't want to give it all at once. I kept inquiring on whether this was because she thought too many supplements was dangerous, but she danced around the questions and kept saying she wanted to go slow which makes me just feel like she wants me to set up another appointment. I don't expect an acupuncturist to understand more than acupuncture, but why call yourself a doctor when you can't even refer your clients to the proper nutritionist, therapist, physical therapist and so on that they would need to live a whole complete life. People need education. Some of us are yearning for a deep understanding of what is wrong with us, so we can heal it. And many of us can have most of our emotion trauma healed just by feeling cared for, for just one minute. These types of places shouldn't feel like such a business transaction. I did attempt one last time to get some of my $185 money's worth. I asked her a simple question of which I figured she could explain. I asked how exactly does acupuncture work. The question had come up earlier when she first walked in the door and I told her I would like to be educated on the matter. When I asked her this time around she said the same thing she said on the phone..it increases blood flow to certain regions. I asked about the blockages, she said that's how it gets rid of them. Then I asked what are the blockages, she said lack of blood flow (but due to what?!) I asked if they could be water as I've read somewhere blockage of water could cause ovarian cysts. She looked confused. She looked extremely rushed, didn't tell me to get dressed so we can talk, but made me feel as though I was taking up her time. If you are deep into holistic health like I am and actually want someone who cares about the whole of your life and you as a person, do yourself a favor and avoid this place. So sad to witness how empty alternative medicine can be along with western. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Lew since 2013 when I moved to San Antonio. NAET (which is a unique energetic type of acupuncture) has been a game changer. Dr. Lew is very intuitive and is easily able to ask and figure out the root causes behind my problems. When I had eczema, she was able to clear this completely over two years with the NAET. One particular breakthrough treatment I had to avoid all forms of radiation for 25 hours (I had to go completely off the grid for a day)- but it worked! No more rashes on my chest or behind my neck. If you want someone who can treat root causes through acupuncture whether the issue is physical, emotional, or nutritive- Dr. Lew is the one to see. read more

Dr.Lew and her team are beyond amazing! She really takes her time and answers all of my questions and concerns. I never feel rushed and she's just so caring. I had severe morning sickness in my pregnancy and the prescription my midwife prescribed me didn't give me any relief so I decided to give acupuncture a try. After my first session I noticed a huge improvement and I continued care with her during my pregnancy. Thanks again Dr.Lew for taking such good care of my baby and I. read more

This review is a bit overdue but definitely needed. I was in town to meet up with some friends and managed to strain my neck and shoulder while carrying my luggage into my hotel. I had to get in somewhere and luckily there was an opening here! I'm so glad Dr. Lew was able to get me in. She was direct and to the point which was desperately needed. The office space was amazing, the staff was very nice, the treatment was affordable, and the best part...Dr. Lew's treatment helped me out! She got me over the worst of it and was able to get me in again the next day for another treatment. I got an herbal formula which helped out a ton. I forgot to tell her that I also had a terrible headache but the treatments got that knocked out too! Next time, I won't be a dummy about lugging around a suitcase like that but if it happens when I'm in town next, I know where to call. read more

Dr. Lew and her incredible Team of Doctors and staff have given me my life back. After being in remission for over a year from IC (Painful Bladder Syndrome) I experienced an extremely painful flareup. Anyone with this uncurable condition understands the lack of science and study behind it and how frustrating it can be to find relief. So after 4 bladder installations and urinary meds did not releive my pain I was so desperate to find relief elsewhere. Thats when I found Dr. Lew and her amazing Team! From the first call inquiring about their services to my most recent appointment they always treated me with compassion making me feel welcomed and like they truly cared about me and my health. I can honestly say that my overall health and quality of life has improved since meeting Dr. Lew and her Team and starting my treatment plan. Every accupunture session is specifically taylored to what I need according to my treatment plan and the results have surpassed any other treatments I received from several urologist doctors. Patience is key and you must trust the process! And they have taken the time to educate me on what I can do to achieve remission. I feel my Zen in line and looking forward to taking back my life from this condition. I have decided to incorporate accupunture into my lifestyle for overall health and wellness and I know I'm in great hands with Dr. Lew and her caring Team. Dr Lew, Dr. Burnikel, and Mr. Vernon Smith, and the entire fabulous Team at Alamo Heights Wellness my family and I thank you for helping me on my journey to remission! read more

From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease and nurtured. Shannon, who wears many hats here, is so sweet and accommodating as she welcomes you into the space. She took me back to my room and got me comfortable. I requested cupping and acupuncture. Shannon started with cupping, and I must say for my first experience she made me feel so comfortable and explained everything to me. It didn't hurt in the least, and after she left me to allow the therapeutic process to begin, I nearly fell asleep. After the cups were removed, Patricia came in and talked a bit about what was going on in my life (a recent breakup). She did some muscle testing and helped me rid my attachment to this person with a few techniques. She then began acupuncture and it was absolutely amazing. There was no pinching or soreness, and the points she chose were perfect for what I needed. I can't speak more highly of Alamo Heights Wellness, and the duo team of Patricia and Shannon will leave you feeling well cared for, nurtured, and truly well to your core. I'll absolutely be back. read more

Dr. L should really get a 5-star review, however like most people, I start with the lower star reviews when yelping :P Dr. Lew came to my clinic a few times in Dallas to shadow and learn about Korean Style Acupuncture & Naturopathic medicine. Her bedside manners: A+ Her acupuncture skills: A+ Her passion: A+ Her communication skills: A+ What else are you looking for? She is amazing at NAET / Allergy Elimination Technique and is always taking classes and learning new techniques. This is what I admire about her. Always growing, trying to be the best doctor she can be. read more

Patricia is awesome! Her treatments are effective and efficient. She is very timely yet extremely thorough! I feel great after every treatment, things that I didn't even know were an issue have gotten better! The front office staff is great and easy to schedule. I look forward to each and every visit. read more

Dr. Patricia Lew and her staff are amazing. She helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Her tailored treatment plan of herbs and acupuncture alleviated the tinnitus, Eustachian tube dysfunction, globus, and anxiety that I suffered from a year ago. She always treated me with respect,kindness, and an eagerness to help. I would recommend her to my family and friends without a doubt. read more

Skeptic turned believer! Having acupuncture treatments with Dr. Lew was literally life changing. I was treated by her now 6 years ago. This was the catalyst for change in my life. I went in seeking treatment for anxiety and stress. I left fundamentally changed as she found the root issue which I was not expecting, and I'm so very grateful for her healing. It set into motion positive change thereafter. While there's lots of ways to heal - no one method is the silver bullet - but if you're going to try something, see Dr. Lew first! Natural and powerful. read more

I love this place! The office is clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. Patricia the owner is such a great and knowledgeable! On my visits, I was in and out in 40 min. She helped me address my horrible back pain. I noticed a huge difference after the first couple of treatments and then after the 5th session, I felt so much better! I'm maintaining the routine visits and herbs that she prescribes and continue to feel great! read more

I went for acupuncture once, she didn't take a thorough history, did not create a relaxing environment at all and was very rushed. I have been to acupuncture many times and this didn't feel like it helped or that she listened to my reasons for being there! I would try elsewhere. *Patricia called to refund my money and stated it was a learning experience, it was a very busy day and they are hiring a new acupuncturist to be able to adequately take care of their clients. I appreciate her follow up and that she took it as a learning experience! read more

Love love Patricia! She is so knowledgeable about muscle testing and acupuncture! She is always professional and efficient. I'm sold and have been going weekly. I've noticed more energy, less anxiety and better overall health. Thank you. Margaret K. read more

Patricia is an amazing Acupuncturist that I refer friends to with confidence. If it weren't for her, I would not be the healthy and thriving person I am today. Patricia takes her time and gets to the root of your concerns. Each time, she makes sure the temperature and environment are comfortable which I appreciate, I tend to get cold. 10/10 would recommend, especially if it's your first time with acupuncture, she is patient and loves to share with patients that want to know more... Like me! Thank you for all your amazing work! read more

I've been a chronic pain patient for 8 years and have seen 5 different specialists and none of them gave me instant relief like Dr. Lew's work. She's helped my back, neck, and hip pain AND my chronic headaches in just a few appointments! I asked her a million questions my first appointment and she was so great at explaining everything and comforting my nerves. The office staff was great as well and the office is so calming overall, that completes the whole experience. I can not recommend Dr.Lew and her office enough!!! read more

I enjoyed a great first cupping treatment here today! Have been suffering w chronic muscle tension/pain and looking for a complementary therapy to add into the mix. Brandi and Megan provided excellent customer service and made me feel very comfortable and cared fo throughout the treatment. The building was a little tricky to find- they're located in a 4 story office building behind La Panadería at Broadway and Citadel Plaza. I would definitely recommend this center if you are interested in trying out cupping therapy. read more

This place is amazing! I've had migraines for about 10 years now. Since my neurologist suggested that I try acupuncture I decided to give this place a call after nothing else worked. She has practically cured my migraines and gotten to the root cause of them. Ms. Lew has a vast knowledge of Chinese Medicine and the body in general. At first I was skeptical, but after a 3-day long headache I decided to give her treatments a try. Within HOURS my migraine was gone. She's the real deal. Give her try! read more

Alamo Heights Wellness - Acupuncture Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Incredible! This was my first time getting and acupuncture done. I got it on my neck and upper back. Dr Loubriel is very knowledgeable and explains everything.

Thank you so much for this experience! read more

Pregnant with severe back pain, emotions all crazy, had to resign from work due to my pregnancy. Doctors rushed me out off the office & one said if my back pain gets worse to go see a chiropractor. Well, now I'm seeing Patricia, not only is she helping with my back pain, but my emotions are not out of control anymore, I feel happy & my baby is happy, I have more energy and this is after one treatment. I will see Patricia again in two weeks for more back pain treatment. I'm lucky to have found someone who knows so much about the human body, and actually cares. read more

Very experienced in diagnosing ailments via NAET. Many other medical professionals would have sent me to get testing after testing to come to the same conclusion. Treatments very effective and helped me immensely. read more

IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR HEALTH, GO SEE PATRICIA!!! She's not only great at what she does, but she's also an amazing person, which is EXTREMELY comforting. Patricia is Amazing! I highly recommend her to anyone that is dealing with health issues and allergies. I suffered for years with thyroid problems (hashimoto thyroiditis) which led to numerous symptoms and other health problems. I've been to several doctors, had countless blood tests, elimination diets, and meds but nothing worked. NAET treatments with Patricia helped tremendously, I am better than ever. I feel and look amazing! I'd post a before and after picture if this site had the ability to do that. But you'll have to take my word for now ;-) UPDATE ON THYROID: I recently went to the endocrinologist for blood work and the test came back with positive results. Dr. said I did not need to be on meds at this time. I'll continue with checkups and blood work as a safety precaution but Patrica and her practice are stuck with me for life :-) Patricia, keep doing what you do best, the world and I need you! :-) read more

If you think that allergies in Central Texas is just a way of life, think again. I went to Patricia with a foot injury and not only did my foot injury get better, but after a few treatments, I got amazing relief from my allergies that I've had ever since being in Central Texas. The allergies have stayed better and I'm thankful for finally getting some relief when I was resigned to have them forever. What a blessing. Patricia was nothing but professional and I felt very comfortable in her office. Getting great results was icing on the cake. read more

Patricia is extremely intelligent, and very effective in treating allergies and digestive issues. She is able to quickly identify allergens that contribute to poor health, and through a technique called NAET, that combines acupuncture with acupressure and homeopathy, she can help the body to no longer over-react in the presence of that allergen leading to improvements in energy, digestion, skin, hair, and cognitive function. read more

After seeing Patricia for about two years, I've learned that seeing her is the fastest way to get better. Doctors will give you a run around and waste your time and money. Many times you will still have the problem. She can fix such odd things going on in your body and save you a lot of time and money. I've never been anywhere where the office runs so smoothly. They do not keep you waiting. Patricia and Shannon are absolutely the best! read more

I took my son to see Patricia for sensory processing disorder. Within a couple NAET treatments for various allergies he is so much better! Patricia is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend her. read more

I recently saw Patricia on a trip to visit my brother in TX. I have been dealing with sinus issues and allergies for a long time, but never wanted to take medication. After a few sessions, I noticed a big shift in my congestion clearing and overall symptoms dissipating. I would encourage anyone seeking help with allergies or other health issues who prefers not to go the Western medical route to see Patricia. She's simply awesome. read more

I saw Patricia for digestive issues in December 2014. I was having textbook reactions to gluten as someone with celiac disease or Leaky Gut Syndrome. I almost went to the emergency room twice in the fall, and had arrived at a point where I could only eat very few things. I couldn't eat bread or drink beer or even digest dairy or grains. Via NAET, Patricia conducted a muscle test which revealed a lot of bottled up emotions about my recent move and new job. I walked into her office with a stomach ache and a case of the bubble guts, and left feeling normal. A few days later, I tried to eat a small piece of bread and I was fine! To this day, I can have bread, but notice my back aches when I do, so I try to consider if it's worth it, so I opt for GF whenever possible. I can also drink beer again and I love it! :D I plan to see Patricia again for a boost and highly recommend her to anyone suffering Chron's Disease, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Diverticulitis and Celiac Disease. read more

When I look for an healthcare provider, I'm looking for someone who can produce results, tell me like it is, not string me along, and not waste my time & money. That's what your going to get with Patricia. If you're looking to get rid of those annoying and life affecting allergies, no matter pollen or food, Patricia is going to be your first choice in San Antonio. read more
