I've seen many acupuncturists and TCM doctors in the Bay Area since 2018. Unfortunately, none of them worked for me, and I was beginning to lose hope in TCM in the States. That was until I found Dr. Wu and started regular treatments with him in November 2023. After just seven months, my overall health has improved significantly! I used to feel constantly cold, with ice-cold hands and feet even in the summer. I also struggled with depression and severe PMS. Dr. Wu has been incredibly thorough in treating my complications and has shown immense empathy - just talking to him makes me feel better. Now, my hands and feet are warm, and my PMS is gone, all thanks to Dr. Wu! Dr. Wu's treatment methods and philosophy are unique and work like magic. When I first met him, I asked if he could give me some herbs or Chinese medicine. He explained why Chinese herbs were not suitable for my situation, even though it would have been easier and more profitable for him, like many other TCM doctors I had seen. Dr. Wu truly puts the interests of his patients first and is deeply devoted to TCM. I cannot thank Dr. Wu enough. Without him, I would still be suffering from my health issues. I've already recommended him to many of my friends and would like to give my highest endorsement to him on Yelp. read more

I've been seeing Dr Wu for years, and he's the easiest recommendation I make to friends in pain. Dr Wu has the ability to help speed up my recovery by weeks and months. My most recent injury was in early 2023, I had injured my back while traveling in Taiwan. It was so bad I had to go through the airport via wheel chair. After just 1 treatment with Dr Wu, my pain reduced by 70% and I had enough mobility to start restrengthening my muscles. If I left my body to heal on its own, I'm certain it would've taken at least 1-2months to have that kind of recovery. Thank you for the work you do Dr Wu. read more

I went to see Dr. Wu for tenderness in the liver area that has been bothering me for many years. I have gotten blood tests, ultrasound, and physical exams but it seemed that there was no functional issues with my liver. Dr. Wu was very attentive when taking history, and very gentle about making sure I was feeling comfortable with acupuncture. The needle placement felt more like a comfortable soreness than pain. (so anyone reading who's scared of it - don't worry!). During the treatment, the tension and the pressure that had been built up in my liver area for many years felt like it dissipated. And to my surprise it came out in tears and emotions that I thought had been resolved (I have a history of depression and anxiety). Dr. Wu reassured me that it's okay and gave loving, unconditional acceptance. Dr. Wu truly sees and treats the patient as a whole, not just the body but also the mind and the heart. I feel so lucky to have found him. I'm writing this hoping more people get the help they need, because it would be transformational for their health and well-being. read more

Dr Wu saved my life. I had SEVERE eczema a few years ago. After seeing many Drs and acupuncturists and trying countless solutions such as ointment, steroid, shampoo, shower gel, lotion, and all kinds of medicines, nothing really helped me. Over time, it got really bad for me. Sometimes at night, i woke up because of the itchiness all over my head, upper body and my legs, so I scratched til i bled. At that point, I was so miserable that i really wanted to kill myself. I was only in my 30s. A colleague of mine introduced me to Dr Wu. Dr Wu went for the root cause of my problems which is my internal organs and my overall health. Within a few months, the itchiness improved a lot and i began to have hope. I kept visiting Dr Wu regularly and the change to my health has been transformational. I realized that Dr Wu is not an ordinary acupuncturist, as He will not just treat your symptoms, but also transform your health using acupuncture. Now, to the surprise of my family, friend (especially my western Medical Doctors friends), my Eczema is pretty much 100% cured! As a result, my body energy and strength have also gained so much so that I can go for a 5k run at any time without any prior training. All this time, I did not take any medicine or apply any ointment at all. I have also introduced Dr Wu to my sports friends and Dr Wu helped all of them. read more

My mother is a Spanish speaker so I'm writing on her behalf. My mother had a hysterectomy after ovarian cancer was found. She recovered but the Chemo they had her go through really weakened her body and caused lots of what we believe is nerve damage. Acupuncture has been one of the things that helps bit by bit. Its a process of course, but it's better than the help she's gotten with regular medical care. the podiatrist and Reumatologist have not been able to resolve anything so this was her next step. Dr. Benjamin Wu takes her insurance with a $10 copay, fortunately for us. read more

I originally had excessive dampness in my body and no appetite. After a year of acupuncture with another TCM doctor, I saw no results and was even told that my spleen and stomach were inherently weak. However, after just the third session with Dr. Wu, I started to feel a sense of relief in my upper body, my stomach began to rumble, and my appetite returned. My tongue coating became thinner. I noticed that the acupuncture points Dr. Wu used were ones I had never been treated with before by other doctors. Dr. Wu is truly a doctor who understands the meridians. read more

I continue to see Dr Wu to sift out my various health conditions. Most of the time it's related to me not following a strict diet to support my body's lack of a gall bladder. Several times I have gone to the ER and they can't find out why I am having pain. I recently got a pain in my chest that went through to my middle back. Dr Wu worked on me for about an hour to unearth that it was once again related to my lack of gall bladder. I had gas in my chest but I couldn't burp. At the end of the session I was able to belch out the gas after he removed the blockage. I still had pain for a couple days but it disappeared as I follow my low fat, no caffeine, non spicy diet. Dr Wu is always professional and kind. He truly has a gift for accupuncture. read more

My 11 yr old son was going through some nausea & dizziness with no apparent cause. A friend recommended Dr Wu and we decided to try him because no medicines seem to work. During the first visit, my son refused treatment. After the symptoms persisted, we were back & Dr Wu took 45 minutes to explain to him the history of acupuncture, how it works and his own journey to resume a family practise. My son agreed to taking treatment and then asked to see him again the following week because he felt better! A heart felt thank you to Dr Wu for this patience & skill working with our 11yr old. He is a savior! read more

Benjamin Wu is a very responsible, reliable, creative, caring and kind Doctor. He treats every patient as his only patient. If you want to see a traditional Chinese Doctor and get good treatments, Dr. Wu is the one you should visit. I was so fortunate to meet Dr. Wu. He is definitely different from most traditional Chinese Doctors. 1. I had chronic neck and shoulder pain. I have been seeing many doctors but the results are very limited. Which directly affected the quality of my life. Dr. Wu gave me a very different treatment along with stretching. I got the BEST result ever! 2. My right hip was in pain for a few months. Dr Wu gave me the treatment and asked me to do a certain stretching. The pain disappeared right after the treatment. 3. I had dry eyes for a while. After the treatments from Dr. Wu, which relieves symptoms immediately. read more

Dr Wu is an amazing acupuncture, he brings a very unique healing technique that find the issue and help the body to self- heal.

My husband suffered from eczema for almost three years before he met Dr Wu. He tried multiple treatment prior with no significant improvements. As such, he replied on steroid for a long time and the problem just not fully solved. Then, he met Dr wu. He was skeptical at the beginning, because he tried acupuncture before, with no significant improvements. However, Dr Wu has a completely different technique than any traditional acupuncture we met in the past. After receiving three months of treatment, my husband skin started to clear. Not only that, my husband's energy level increased too. In the past, my husband can only work out for 30 mins and felt extremely tired. After the treatment, he can play badminton for 3 hours straight, which was how he used to be many years ago. I started to see Dr Wu roughly about a year ago, when I was expecting. Unlike my husband, I didn't have any particular disease I wanted to cure, but instead just want for a better overall wellbeing. After receiving 3 months of treatments, my energy level also increased. I can jog longer, feeling overall healthier. I was 35 when i gave birth to my baby girl, and all my friends who are around the same age, experienced symptoms like weight gain, insomnia, rapid heart rate and etc. To my very surprise, I returned to my body weight 6-8 weeks after I gave birth. I experienced some postpartum symptoms, but definitely not as severe as my friends. My energy level was still low, and is still low as of today, and I am trying to get back in shape. Lately, i suffered mother's tendonitis, like many new moms. When i went back to Dr Wu this time, I could hardly open a rubber band. My both thumbs felt numb. I have received 2 months of intensive treatments and I can now operate my normal life. I can open up a rubber band! still feeling bit pain. I think my husband and I are extremely lucky to meet Dr Wu, who not only treated us, but also changed our mentality around healthy living. Thank you Dr Wu! read more

If you're looking for Acupuncture that truly helps, give Dr. Wu a try. My mom has been seeing Dr. Wu since this July. Originally both my mom and I were skeptical to how much Acupuncture can really help. It's a referral from our PCP that we trust fully, so we decided to give it a try. Now it not only helped with the chronic pain on her knees and back, but most importantly saved her from the unbearable itchiness caused by the allergy to (most likely) Covid vaccination and anesthetic in surgery that dermatology medicines and ointments didn't help. Dr. Wu is also very kind, caring and fun to talk with. He's sometimes too busy that you'd need to wait a bit. But we're told "Big helper" is on the way to offload him in the beginning of next year. Thank you Dr. Wu! read more

I'm very grateful my primary doctor referred me to Dr Benjamin Wu. I've been dealing with a bone spur causing a lot of pain through my leg as well as neck and shoulder pain. It's been my first time trying acupuncture, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience even though I was initially worried about needles. I appreciate that he checks on the pain levels throughout the appointment and adjusts as necessary. This has helped me become more in tune with my body as I've been checking in with myself between appointments instead of ignoring my pain. My overall pain levels have decreased as a result and a nice added bonus is that I feel more energized after appointments. Highly recommend! read more

I saw doctor Wu for a tension headache condition. He was very attentive when I was describing my symptoms and I felt very much at ease. He used "hot" needles explaining they were a more powerful option. During the procedure I felt like some of my symptoms were lessened and only from one session. I would highly recommend him it's a good option for pain conditions. read more

I'm currently seeing Dr. Wu for my chronic sciatica. I've been experiencing high pains which on my 1st visit I can actually feel the difference. Dr. Wu's techniques and knowledge have pin point not only my sciatica pains but other issues. I recommend him highly. Especially if you want to stay away of taking meds. read more

About 1 year ago Dr. Wu started helping me with a very painful neck problem that i was dealing with. At that time i had already seen several western med specialists and was struggling to find pain relief, and answers to where the neck problem stemmed from. Dr. Wu successfully took care of both of my issues. First he took much time and effort to ease and release the neck and head pain. Then, after a few acupuncture sessions, he asked me if i had been in a car accident recently... Although the car accident had been over a year prior to the neck problems (which is partly why it never occurred to me to think of it) connecting the accident to the pain instantly made sense. Since that time Dr. Wu has treated and relieved the whiplash pain that was plaguing my life. He is very knowledgeable and has also encouraged a few slight lifestyle changes to go along with the much needed needle treatments. I am ever so grateful to him! Every so often now i return to Dr.Wu's office for a seasonal acupuncture tune up and/or to help with other health issues that are in need of his expertise. Thank you for helping to keep the Qi flowing Doctor Wu. read more
