    You will not find a better acupuncturist than Xiaoming Tian. He has been so effective in relieving…read morepain for me in a number of situations, pain that did not respond to usual interventions, like epidurals, dry needling, radio-frequency nerve ablation, etc. It is such a blessing when chronic pain is relieved. It's a life-changer.

    You know you've picked the right acupuncturist when…read more.. ...you actually feel excited for them to stick needles in your body and it doesn't really hurt. ...you see their ridiculously awesome credentials framed and hung in exam rooms (framed certificate from President Clinton, letters from NIH, old newspaper articles from Library of Congress, etc.) ...there's a waiting list for appointments ...the waiting room is so crowded, there's no place to sit ...the staff remembers your name everytime you come and are always smiling and friendly ...you actually feel sad that today is your last appointment. ----------- I was referred by yelper, Kim N to Wildwood Acupuncture Center and I'm so thankful I got to talk to her and get her recommendation when I saw her at the Sail Away event back in May. The Friday I was told I needed surgery, I immediately called and made an appointment at WAC. I had an appointment for Monday. Upon arrival, I filled out some forms and was thankful to see that they did accept insurance. Coverage varies from plan to plan and I'm thankful that my visits were 90% covered but it's still unclear how many visits they've paid for (still waiting for word on that). On the first visit, you can expect to be there for an hour and a half. During this 1hr+ period, you'll have a full evaluation (q+a) and then the acupuncture. You put on a paper gown and lay however instructed. (Me, on my left side facing the wall.) In general, I'm not afraid of needles...unless I'm watching you stick one in me. Thankfully, since my area of complaint is my back, I never had to watch him put one of the needles in my skin. You might be wandering what it feels like? Well, depending on where the needle goes, I either felt a bit of pressure but no pain, or I didn't feel it at all! Most times, I thought I just heard a flicking-type sound when they were inserted but I didn't feel it. Now, once the needle is in, however, when he pushes it in further or angles it differently - that is an entirely different feeling; sometimes painful, sometimes not. There were times when I felt tingly, felt some kind of something shoot down my leg or across my side. Dr. Xiao Ming Tian would stick the needles in the appropriate spot based on what the pain was like that day. Some days it hurt down my leg so he'd make sure there was a needle in my back area to address that pain. One day I mentioned I had a headache so he gave me additional needles in my head/neck (which was awesome!). Once all the needles are in, they need to stay in for 30-45 minutes. A heat lamp hangs over the acupuncture spots and it's nap time. That's right - a doctor sanctioned nap! I found over the last 14 sessions that while I actually slept some of the time, 80% of the the rest of the time I felt like I was in that place between asleep and awake and it was downright relaxing. When time is up, they come back in the room and take out the needles, you put your clothes back on and you go home and repeat the next day or however many visits Dr. Tian recommends. In my case, it was 15. I'll be honest, I was really quite skeptical about acupuncture at the beginning. I figured I'd give it a go but had low expectations. Thus far, it hasn't "cured" my back but it has significantly helped with managing the pain. It has also brought my blood pressure down to normal human numbers again so I'm very very pleased about that. (This was a result, apparently, of the placement of one needle in my forearm.) Yea...I'm a believer now! I've never been more eager to spread the word about a doctor, let alone an acupuncturist but I'm telling you - if you ever considered acupuncture before, come see Dr. Xiao Ming Tian at Wildwood. He is a darling older Chinese man who is extremely intelligent, very kind and truly cares about his patients. (Also, he gave me a Chinese restaurant recommendation in Rockville that I'm excited to check out! Seven Seas.)

    When calling to make an initial consultation in December 2021, I specifically asked Lia whether…read moreHeritage Acupuncture accepted our insurance (Aetna). She confirmed that they did. At the end of the visit, they charged us the full $80, promising submit a claim to Aetna for reimbursement. In late January 2022, I called to check on the status of the claim. Lia told me that the $80 has gone towards our out-of-network deductible, so there would be no reimbursement. It turned out that Heritage is not in the Aetna network, so Lia had not been honest with me during our first phone call. We ended up spending $50 more than if we had gone to an in-network provider. Bye, Heritage!

I never received acupuncture before, but am so glad I started coming. Since seeing Daisy, I've had a variation of acupuncture, cupping, and massage therapy to treat my various ailments. The treatments have helped reduce and remove the pain I was feeling in my neck and back. Daisy has also given me herbs to help treat some other health issues (cold, flu, hormonal imbalances) to treat the root cause of my issues as opposed to masking the issue. Daisy is great because she always discusses the cause of my pain, and how the treatment is supposed to impact it. Daisy also showed me some exercises to help strengthen certain muscles in my body to avoid putting so much stress on my back. Daisy's staff is also really nice, and the office is clean and organized. If you've had pain or injury in your body, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

    Unlike all the positive reviews here, I didn't come for chronic pains but for fertility and cycle…read morerelated issues, which are listed under the specialities she treats. I saw Dr. Du for 6+ months, at which point I had hoped to see some kind of improvement in my symptoms (ie. not feeling like death whenever my cycle starts), but there have been absolutely no changes at all. So first the positives: - Dr. Du isn't mean or intimidating like some doctors can be. - Prices without insurance is reasonable. - she managed to correct my curved spine (something I wasn't even aware of before meeting her, and tbh not something I really care for) - the few times she gave me acupuncture for stress I did feel a sense of relief afterwards Now the negatives: - she refused to give me regular herbs for my conditions, which I found strange. All my research and past experience with TCM shows that acupuncture and herbs work best together, but she insisted I only needed herbs at the beginning of my cycle. - she never really addressed my fertility issues. Granted I had other issues that should be addressed as well, but I found it frustrating that whenever I asked she told me that I was still young (I'm really not) and that I shouldn't rush. Judging by the other reviews I have no doubt that she can do wonders for chronic pain or other issues but when it came to fertility and women's health my experience has been disappointing and I felt like I wasted my time and money.

For the past nine years I have been avoiding surgery and relying on periodic spinal injections while avoiding standing and walking and moving very gingerly. Dr Du was recommended to me and while I have always shied away from non- traditional medicine, and even supplements, I gave her a try. My results are hard to believe. My back is so much better I can stand for much longer periods and can walk some distance now without feel pain or needing to sit down. I can't recommend her strongly enough.
