Dr. Ma is AMAZING! I started going to her over 4 years ago for sciatica nerve pain. I had been to…read moreother acupuncturists, nerve doctors, a pain specialist clinic--no one could help me get rid of the pain. I found Dr. Ma on yelp, made an appointment, and after a few treatments the pain was finally gone. She did acupuncture followed by cupping and massage and performed a miracle. I had been in pain for so long with this and it was finally gone. I always tell her she has 'magic hands' and have gone to her for many other issues since. I'm very active and she helps keep me in shape. Because of her background as a medical doctor as well as acupuncturist, she knows instantly where to place the needles and/or do any cupping to relieve the pain and speed up the healing. In addition to all this, Dr. Ma is a wonderful, caring, and kind person and I feel so lucky to have found her!

I'm not exactly sure how I was fortunate enough to find this facility from an internet search, but…read moreI'm so glad that I did! As someone who has a great respect for energy healing practices, in general, it was important to me to find the right practitioner. When I finally made the appointment, I had been trying other means to alleviate pain that I was experiencing-- physical therapy, various medicines/ supplements, rest, yoga, strength training-- you name it, I was doing it, and nothing helped. Until I found Dr. Lu's office. I found relief after my very first appointment. I had been struggling with knee and leg pain, as well as back and shoulder pain for more months than I could count. Now that I've found relief, they can't get rid of me.

I took my mother here for a Mother's Day massage. She got the combo package (30-minute body massage…read more+ 30-minute foot massage) for $90, which we paid for upfront. Before the session, they gave us a form where we could choose the pressure level, mark areas to focus on, and note any areas to avoid, which I appreciated because it made the experience feel more personalized. When we entered the massage room, the therapist did not want me to stay in the room with my mother, even though there were clearly two seats available inside. At first, they said, "Someone is sitting there," which made no sense because it was only me and my mom in the room. I asked who would be sitting there, and they went quiet before repeating that I couldn't stay. I explained that my mother does not speak English and that I needed to remain there to help translate if necessary. Instead of showing understanding, the situation became awkward and uncomfortable right from the beginning. As a customer, especially when bringing a parent who cannot communicate easily, I expected a little more patience and professionalism. Despite that interaction, my mother did enjoy the massage overall. It was her first professional massage, so she did not have many expectations going in. The therapist did pay attention to the areas she marked on the form and seemed attentive to the pressure and focus points she requested. My mother said she felt relaxed afterward, and I was happy that she at least enjoyed that part of the experience. Unfortunately, the ending completely ruined it for me. After the massage ended, as we were walking out the door, the therapist stood in front of the door and blocked me from exiting to ask for a tip. I understand tipping culture and I normally do tip for good service, but making customers feel pressured or physically stopped before they can leave is extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. It left a very bad final impression on me, especially after the earlier issue about me staying in the room to help my mother communicate. Overall, while the massage itself was decent and my mother enjoyed it, the customer service and handling of the situation made the experience feel uncomfortable and stressful rather than relaxing. For a place that provides services meant to help people unwind, I think they should work on making customers feel respected and at ease from start to finish. We will not be returning. I would only come here if I spoke Chinese, came alone, and don't mind tipping bad service. ‍

Inside the salt sanctuary, the coolness was soothing, and I immediately sensed the healing power of the salts. The tingling in my nose from allergies vanished, and the tension from my anxiety eased remarkably. Sitting quietly and taking deep breaths felt like a weight was lifting from my shoulders, providing a moment of relief and comfort. I was struck by how salt was everywhere--even on the floor beneath my feet, grounding me in the present. It was truly a moment of clarity and awakening. My racing thoughts settled, and a deep sense of peace filled me. This is an experience beyond words; it's something you need to feel for yourself to really understand and appreciate.

I've been attending Dr. Zhang's acupuncture for a couple of months now, and I have to say it's the…read morebest acupuncturist I've used. Previously I had used what amounted to "New Age" acupuncturist; that is to say Westerners who latched on to the ideals of Eastern philosophy and medicine. Although I'm all for opening our minds and blending cultures, the fact remains that Chinese medicine is intricately tied to Chinese culture. Therefore, if you want to guarantee the doctor understands the process completely, I recommend finding someone who grew up with that culture. Dr. Grant has a small practice, but that adds to the relaxation. He understands what it is you need, doesn't hide behind semantics over what a symptom or disorder might be called, and knows exactly where to treat. Since I've attended him my daily headaches have become less frequent and much less intense, and my stress levels are always at their lowest after a treatment. I walk out of there feeling like I've just released tension through hard exercise even though I've been lying on a bed for 45 minutes listening to music. If you're looking for an acupuncturist within the Columbia/Ellicott City area, then I recommend calling up Dr. Zhang. His prices are about average, but his skill is worth it; even better if your insurance covers it!

First they clearly told me they were all in network with my insurance, and then after the acupuncture session they told me my practitioner could not accept insurance, but somehow nobody knew about it beforehand. I realized too late that this place is utterly mismanaged and incompetent. The manager said it could take weeks or longer to get things straight on their end. Since they know ZERO about acupuncture, they do now know or care that it is useless to start acupuncture and then wait weeks or months for a follow-up. Then they refused to let me make a follow up appointment with any other acupuncturist that actually could actually accept my insurance. This place is shady, duplicitous, and without ethics, and I would highly recommend you stay away.

The infection was finally cleared but it left me with a type of pseudo-colitis and I was still having abdominal pain, and other unpleasant symptoms. All the doctors told me was to eat yogurt and take pro biotics which I was doing, but it didn't help much. I did a lot of research about restoring gut health but most of it did not give specifics. I felt like I needed someone who knew what they were doing to help guide me through it, tell me exactly what to eat, take and when in order to help me restore my destroyed gut microbiome. I decided to think outside the box and seek out a Traditional Chinese Medicine specialist. Kathryn put me on a specific diet plan which included supplements plus acupuncture for the abdominal pain. After just two treatments, once a week apart, I could tell a difference. I finally turned the corner and by week 4 the pain was gone, my gut was healing and things were finally getting back to normal again. Kathryn not only helped facilitate the healing process but helped me get my life back. I can now go places and plan trips without the fear of being sick away from home and always having to be near a bathroom. Her knowledge about gut health and the steps to take to restore it were invaluable. I am truly thankful for her help.
