I've seen Dr. Chen on and off for over 20 years. I had a shoulder issue due to some tear from playing sports in high school. Dr. Chen was able to address my shoulder with old school acupuncture and cupping. Whenever I needed a fix, I would have 2-3 sessions, and would be solid for years beyond. My family members have seen him, and I've dragged friends along as well. As some have mentioned, I'm only timid of when he will retire. He is the OG in my books! read more

Central Clinic - Acupuncture Near Me - Cerritos, California

July 2023 Looking for an honest holistic doctor? Check out this hidden gem tucked away in a shopping center. I have tried both types of medicines but I also feel it's each person's experience and mindset that allows us to achieve our goals. After searching through several offices I went in to see Dr. Chen who took the time to ask questions about my health, diet, lifestyle, and concerns. Most doctors just want to hear a quick 2min summary but I could tell Dr. Chen took pride in his work by how he treats his patients. I've only had one session and I still need to follow up with additional sessions but I know this will be my go-to for all holistic. read more

Central Clinic - Acupuncture for c-spine and shoulder. After 1 appointment I felt immediate relief and increased flexibility. - Acupuncture Near Me - Cerritos, California

the treatment is very effective I feel so much better now · I really appreciate how you explained everything clearly.

Been coming here for about 15 years. I have chronic lower back pain and the first time I came in, I couldn't walk fully upright. After seeing various specialists, chiropractors, and other acupuncturists with no relief, saw Dr. Chen and and I walked out with no pain. And then the pain would come back after a few days, but lesser, and got more treatment. This went on every time but in about 5 sessions, I was fine and the pain didn't come back. Now every few years when I tweak something, I come see Dr. Chen. I've moved further away and it takes over an hour to drive here but I always make sure to see him. Best there is. read more

The best acupuncture out there in OC/LA. I've been coming here for over 20 years. He is the best! Would walk in with a sprained ankle without being able to walk with pressure on the sprained ankle (basketball). After one session, I would walk out with severely reduced pain! Obviously, the more sessions, the better but no more than 3-4 sessions to get the job done. Don't waste your time on the acupuncture fugazis who just take your money and place needles anywhere and everywhere. I just hope he has a successor who is as knowledgeable as him for my needs in the future...very affordable as well for the 30 minute session compared to others around for the service you're getting. read more

Been going here since 2005. Wednesday is closed. Saturday, they are only open until lunch time. The only concern is my beloved Dr. Chen closing the business in the future. I really hope he has someone who can take over his business... read more

Dr. Chen is absolutely wonderful! He's the acupuncturist to see if you have any muscle pain/strain, headaches, allergies, or infertility issues. I have been going to him since the 90s and he works wonders. There is a reason he has been in business since 1989. I'm currently seeing Dr. Chen for my chronic migraines. I've had them since college and even did an MRI but the Western doctors were never able to find a cure. Finally I went to see Dr. Chen and it's so much better now. I use to get the migraines monthly but after a few sessions, they have progressively gotten better! I only wish I went to see Dr. Chen sooner! He is located in a small plaza with plenty of parking. His prices are also very reasonable. Many of my relatives and friends have all been referred to Dr. Chen and they are so grateful. Dr. Chen is always thorough and cares about his patients deeply. read more

Dr. Chen helped me when even the Doctors at Kaiser couldn't help me. After a few epiderals and heavy narcotics with no improvement in sight within two appointments I was able to sit up from the bed without excruciating pain. My peraformis muscle was injured and I couldn't even walk without horrible pain. For 3 months I struggled and when I went to him I have to say I had very little hope that he could help. But within two appointments I was able to walk and sit up without any pain. He is a miracle worker. read more

Wow. Immediate relief from L4-L5 vertebrae ( lower back pain). Patient and kind doctor Chen. 1st timer says go for it.

Central Clinic - I came here every other Saturday, Dr Chen is very nice and helpful. It's $45 per visit. Open 7 days a week. - Acupuncture Near Me - Cerritos, California

I'm writing a review because this is how I found Dr Chen. What I love about coming here is they are very accommodating. I can call on a Saturday morning and show up like 30 minutes later to get a treatment. And Usually the wait isn't very long. He listens to what is wrong and the treatment works and he's fast. I use to go to the acupuncture school in Whittier and they only would do acupuncture no cupping except for on a rare occasion and I'd still be there like an hour: hour and a half because they asked always a lot of questions and there was a lot of waiting for treatment once you were in the room. But Dr Chen is efficient he goes from room to room so once your in a treatment room it's a 30-40 minute process that includes acupuncture and cupping. And he is affordable! Normal treatments are $45. read more

I have been coming here for over 2 months for infertility acupuncture in conjunction with my infertility doctor.

Dr chen speaks many languages including Korean and Chinese. He is a very sweet man. Not pushy, and prices are very reasonable read more

I've had daily pain in both knees since January. Its November. Trying knee strengthening exercises and resting from cardio wasn't making a difference So I decided to try acupuncture. I've been to three acupuncturists before trying Central Clinic. Hands down this has been the best experience. Dr. Chen has an excellent bedside manner. He actually cares how you're feeling and wants to make sure you're not experiencing any pain or discomfort. He's the only doctor I've spoken to about my knee pain that's actually taken time to listen and ask questions. So far I've had two sessions and feel 80% better. After last week's session, Dr. Chen said 'You're at 80% Take it easy. No running or cycling. If you feel better next week, no need to come back.' What? No upsell? No 'I need to see you once a week for the rest of your life'? Nope. Dr. Chen is honest and has integrity. At $45 per session, it's very affordable. I can see why he's been in business for nearly 30 years. He's the best. read more

My parents have been going here for 25 years. Dr Chen is very attentive and after sessions with him they have been able to walk out and drive out drive out inspite of having bad backs. He also does not try to sell you on extra services or medicines he just does what you need. read more

I am most grateful to Dr. Chen for his friendship over the past 17 years and his phenomenal expertise in acupuncture. As a UCLA Professor, I have access to the top of the line conventional medical care. However, we always chose Dr. Chen as our primary source for our wellbeing. He has been a lifesaver for my wife for more than 17 years. My wife suffers from an autoimmune disorder and has had a number of severe attacks. Dr. Chen has been able to reverse the attacks and keep my wife free of symptoms for years. Dr. Chen has a very mild demeanor, is genuinely caring, and makes his patients feel very welcome. He never rushes his patients and spends as much time with them as needed. Our friends who have had acupuncture treatment elsewhere are surprised when we tell them about the amazing results that we have had when visiting Dr. Chen. We drive over 200 miles to visit Dr. Chen's clinic in Cerritos, which does not compare to the distance that some of his other patients travel who fly in from as far as New York City for a weeklong treatment. I have also met patients in his office who have been seeing him for over 25 years - it is an understatement to say that they have complete confidence in his expertise. Dr. Chen is held in very high esteem by his colleagues because of his extensive formal 7-year long Doctoral education at Taiwan's prestigious Graduate Institute of Acupuncture Science. I am eternally grateful for all that Dr. Chen has done for my family. Thank you, Dr. Chen! read more

I went to see Dr. Chen a couple of weeks ago for severe migraines. He's such a nice person, was very careful with his treatment and really took care of me while in the sessions. I noticed an improvement in my headaches/migraines after his treatment. I totally recommend him to anyone! read more

Dr. Chen is great. I can't say it's pain less when the needle went into your body, but it's at min. I think I know him for more than 15 years by now. Each time is for different problem and he had fix them all. Last time I saw him, was 3 years agon. Now I have frozen shoulder need his help He's still the same caring doctor. read more

The doctor is amazing! I came to him as a first-timer quite nervous and skeptical. He has relieved my tension headaches and migraines to the point that I no longer take OTC or prescription pain medication as a regular part of my day. I would recommend him to everyone! He is very nice, checks your chart and previous treatments every time, listens to what is wrong, and treats you as an individual case every time. Plus, the longest I have ever waited is 5 minutes, as he runs multiple rooms at once. He does cupping and electrical stim for free as well during your acupuncture treatment, and he always has blankets and red heat lamps on hand too. I would highly recommend him! read more

the only place ive found in the states that actually help with my backpain!!! the price is reasonable and easy to get an appt. it's not a fancy clinic but it works. ive been to two other ' famous' acupuncturists in LA but this acupuncturist was the only one that worked and didnt try to sell me herbs or anything extra read more

I've come for a few visits and it's well worth it. Ive had the acupuncture and cupping for lower back pain and truly it made a difference...

Dr. Chen is truly a great doctor. I feel better after each visit. I have a chronic back problem that causes great pain. Tried medication, steroid injections, nothing worked. Acupuncture does help. It primarily helps me with the pain. If you have back problem, you understand. read more
