Caring, knowledgeable and very effective treatment. The setting is also comfortable and relaxing

I heard a lot of great things about acupuncture and wanted to give it a try for myself. Being afraid of needles, I was a bit apprehensive, but after talking to Dr Chen about my health concerns and needs, he really wanted to help me and get to the root of the problem. I came in for my Cervicogenic Headache, and once he treated me, it was gone. It was such a huge relief and miracle. I'm so glad I walked in and found his office! I just so happen to come from my chiropractor appointment with Dr. Byrne in the same plaza and always drove past this place but finally got the courage to come and so happy I did. If you're tired of getting prescribed medication with Western medicine and only finding temporary solutions, then look no further. Dr Chen is such a professional and has a way of making you feel calm and taken care of. I look forward to my future appointments with him. read more

Dr Chen listens attentively. Very clean. $90 a treatment. He helped restore circulation in my hands and feet. And this winter I felt great. I recommend for hormonal balance. read more

God bless dr. Chen. One of the few Acupuncturists who wants to get to the root of the problem and truly cares about your overall well-Being. It was so refreshing to finally talk to a Doctor and have all your questions answers and with an explanation. I feel so relieved to have found dr. Chen. read more

Highly recommend coming to see Dr Chen if you have muscle pain. He changed my life. I have a neck injury from about 10 years ago and it slowly became more painful as I got older and eventually I had debilitating daily migraines before I sought relief. After about 2 months of acupuncture I had NO MORE PAIN. I now only go in occasionally. read more

Dr. Chen has been practicing since 1983. Have been getting my acupuncture treatments here for years and am still going (by choice because it keeps me focused on my work). Have learned so much about acupuncture in all the years I've been seeing Dr. Chen. He continues to educate, keep up with new treatments. This office also sells (and develops) supplements, vitamins that do very well with the acupuncture treatments. His practice is a small, clean office on Arrow Route and Central in Upland). Nothing fancy or overly decorated fluff. It's kept well and simple. His staff are friendly, funny and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Chen. read more

See all

Dr. Chen is THE BEST. Seriously. Acupuncture has been one of those things that I've been scared of all my life, but for some reason, it has also been something my mother has relentlessly pushed me to try. After finally giving in to my mother, we were referred to Dr. Chen by a close family friend, and now... I'm a believer. Dr. Chen's no-nonsense practice is straight, honest and most importantly, effective. He is probably the most honest and sincere man I know. He genuinely cares about your health and issues and will not stop until he's treated you successfully. What more could you ask for from a doctor? If you're looking for acupuncture or chiropractic services, try Dr. Chen. You won't regret it! read more

Chen's Holistic Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Upland, California

Let me just start by saying that I have never given a poor review. I always support local business and only leave reviews for good experiences. This, however, needed to be posted. I was charged $80 to fill out their required paperwork and ask about insurance coverage! Total scam!! Make sure you ask questions up front before you do anything at this office. After my midwife recommended acupuncture to induce labor, I found Dr. Chen through Google as a local provider. I contacted the number and set up an appointment for a consultation. Upon arrival, I was sent back to a room and asked to fill out paperwork. Dr. Chen reviewed my paperwork, came back and explained how acupuncture worked to induce labor. I then asked if my insurance was covered. I had filed out an insurance section on the form I had just given him... pretty sure that's so they can check what is covered... Without checking, he said not likely (he did not call or reach out to my provider). My next question was how much he charged out of pocket. After a brief discussion with my husband, we decided that we could not afford the out of pocket cost. No exam or services were done. On my way out, I asked him AGAIN if he could check my insurance to see if his services were covered by my insurance. He took my card, made a copy and handed it back to me. He then told me that my fee for today would be $80!! For what, i said. His answer was for the consultation. Not once in the 15 minutes I was there was I told about a consultation fee! I know times are tough this year, but it doesn't make it right to take it out on potential customers. read more

Dr. Chen is knowledgeable, interested and cares. He knows his business and his medical art. Acupuncture is covered by my medical and after going to Dr. Chen with a shoulder problem (cured), have an ankle problem that the podiatrist wanted to treat in the archaic boot for months. With the help of Dr. Chen it is getting well and addressing the real problem so it won't come back. read more

Acupuncture is inexplicably but undeniably effective. Western medicine can't explain why it works, but Dr. Chen will show you that it does. During any given visit, you will encounter other patients (on their way out or on their way in) that have been coming to Dr. Chen for nearly three decades, and in my book, repeat clientele speaks volumes. I first decided to give acupuncture a try due to my frequent sports injuries. Through massage therapy, heat treatment, medicinal patches, and good ol' fashioned needles, I left Dr. Chen's office feeling like a million bucks (and now, as a client for life, I always leave feeling like a million bucks). Since I brought up needles, it deserves fleshing out (no pun intended). These are not Western Medicine blood test / IV drip / injection needles, which are forcibly thick b/c their function requires them to be hollow (to suck blood, inject fluid, etc.). Acupuncture needles are microscopically thin and I can hardly feel anything when they are placed just under the surface of your skin. Trust me. Occasionally, a needle in a locale with "bad qi (pronounced "chi")," as Dr. Chen explained to me, will cause a minor pain, but even that feels like a light rubber band snap to the wrist. A pittance compared to how much better you feel after the treatment is complete. Last but not least, Dr. Chen is personable and genuinely concerned about your well being. This should be required of all acupuncturists, I agree, but the handful of other places I tried before discovering Dr. Chen proved me wrong. This place gets a high recommendation from me. Give it a try, and you won't regret it. In acupuncture, as it most other disciplines, 30 years of experience counts. read more

Dr. Chen is an amazing Practitioner, Time and time again Western medicine wanted to give me more medication at higher doses, masking the pain while causing other issues with my kidneys. Very professional, calming demeaner, and holistic approach healing my mind, body and soul. If you are looking for the "True Cure" avoiding recommended surgery, doctor Chen is the one to see. Not a "quick" fix give it time to work. Thanks to Dr. Chen, I can now walk and stand for long periods of time even with severe spinal stenosis. Western medicine had given up. He gave me a new lease on life. read more

I have to say I didn't use to believe in Acupuncture... But NOW I am a BELIEVER! I was in a car accident a year ago and have several discs in my lower spine that are out of place and constantly irritated and painful. After trying chiropractors, decompression therapy (DRX 9000) and several different types of massage therapy, I was referred to Dr. Chen by a family friend. WOW is all I can say. after the first treatment I felt instant relief. I continued to see him and now my pain is gone. Recently I moved up north and haven't been able to find anyone like him, but anytime I go home I always set up an appt just to work out any kinks :) If you're thinking about trying Acupuncture, see Dr. Chen he's friendly, and awesome! read more

Relief !!! Dr. Chen is amazing! I recently visited Dr. Chen for lower back pain and never imagined the relief that it would give me. I'm an avid cyclist and was suffering from lower back pain because a new bike I've been riding had a bad fit. After a few expensive massges that only helped for the rest of the day, a friend recommended Dr. Chen. I went in knowing nothing about acupuncture and had an incredible experience. Dr. Chen was incredibly professional and helpful. As a newbie he explained the process and what to expect. After one session I already feel a tremendous improvement in motion and most importantly, my back is not the first thing on my mind at all times. I'm going back for my second session in a few days :D If you are looking for acupuncture in the Upland area, even if you've never tried acupuncture before, give Dr. Chen a call and set something up!! http://www.chenshealthcenter.com/ Down with dope (western medicine) up with hope (Dr Chen)!! read more

I have severe osteoarthritis. The treatment works. The pain subsides. I still need knee replacement but I'm trying to postpone it as long as possible & control the pain. Thank You Dr. Chen. I'm a believer. read more

Chen's Holistic Acupuncture - It works! - Acupuncture Near Me - Upland, California

I once was so hungover that I couldn't sit still without feeling sick. An acupuncture visit was just what I needed to perk me right up. I felt so renewed, I actually went out and had a drink afterwards. Just kidding :-) read more

Dr Chen is amazing! I have been going since December for acid reflux problems and weakened immune system from stress and over work. I have now been off reflux meds since January and symptoms have decreased by 90% ! My energy levels are up and I'm no longer getting every little 'bug' that goes around the dept. Dr. Chen is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology. He is also very knowledgeable about herbal remedies and knows which have been scientifically studied. In addition, he is extremely nice, personable and truly cares about his patients health and well being. He is always smiling ! If there were 6 stars, he'd still get'em all ! read more

I just wanted to chime in about Dr. Chen. I have gone to him periodically over the years when I've had some nagging ailment or pain. I find the acupuncture treatments very relaxing and my pain situation has always improved to the point of the pain going away!.. Once when my daughter hurt her knee on the basketball court we took her there and one treatment took care of it. That I think is a testimony to this wonderful treatment called acupuncture, Dr. Chen's skill and these amazing bodies. The office is peaceful and Dr. Chen is indeed a personable man as another reviewr mentioned. Your in good hands with Dr. Chen. read more

Dr. Chen is very knowledgable and nice! He has helped me with stress and helped me relax when I was pregnant with my son. I didn't want to have another c-section and I wasn't dropping so I went to have acupuncture. It was that I wasn't relaxing and muscles were too tense for the baby to drop into position, so I went to see dr. Chen a couple of times a week for a month or so before my due date. And I ended up going into labor two days after he did extra strong work on me. He is awesome!! Wish his office was closer to home! I was driving 3 hours to see him! read more

I have been treated by Dr. Chen for over 7 years now, from occasional tendonitis, wrist pain and now recently for benign positional vertigo aka BPV. The Epley maneuver was recommended by my E.N.T. but opted not to, due to having to experience vertigo during the maneuver, I've already experienced enough vertigo to last me a life time. Dr. Chen has now treated me for this condition and it's working!!! I highly recommend Dr. Chen he's my real life HERO!!!!! read more

I don't believe all of these reviews are real. Although very nice, Dr. Chen was very hard to understand, did not understand half the things that were said to me. I felt like he was scrambling the entire time I was there, going in and out of the room at least 3-4 times during my consultations to grab different items to explain my pain, including a box of items that looked like they were pulled from an attic from the 1980's dirty, dusty and old. Looking around the room most everything seemed to be outdated. When I called to make an appt. the receptionist told me that I would be paying $25-50 for my consultation visit, depending on what was done. I thought that seemed fair since another place I was considering charged $40 for consultation and acupuncture, on a special ad they were running on their website. When it was time to pay for my visit the reception told me my total was $95. I was not happy considering the total quoted had doubled. The reception was not sensitive to my plea that I could not afford that. I paid it and asked how much it would cost for each of my two weekly visits the Dr was recommending, she said $70 each visit (which would be $140 week). Now after doing much research in the Rancho and Upland area, these prices are crazy expensive. I'm now a very happy client of 'Good Hands Acupuncture', first consultation and acupuncture visit only $40 (without coupon) $60 and each follow up visit $40. Huge difference, great staff and honest and affordable. If rating was based on receptionist it would be a 1 star, on Dr. a 3 star. But because they didn't even attempt to make me happy and let me leave very upset. I'm giving them a 2. They could have worked with me!! Disappointed:-( read more

I had never been to an acupuncturist before. I had significant back pain and chose Dr Chen after seeing good reviews. This was a mistake. After treatment, I did not experience any relief. I do understand that it doesn't always work immediately and that it takes multiple visits and had set up another appointment. I decided to cancel after I discovered he had left a needle in my lower leg that I didn't find until later the day of the first treatment. I understand human error and this did not cause me any harm, however, as a very first patient, I would have thought that he would have been extra careful in at least the first treatment. Additionally, the amount he charged me for his service was significant. I would not have minded that had I received something in return. In short, if you are able to get relief from him, good. I did find another acupuncturist that was recommended to me. His treatment was much more extensive and significantly less expensive. More importantly, after his treatment, I did feel relief. I am going back because I still have some residual pain, but I am doing better. read more

Nothing special. The acupuncturist will try an sell you something and write up the receipt "like the hospital" by putting services that you did not request not want or need then deducting them. I won't be back. read more

IT WAS PROFESSIONAL HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!!!!!!! I refuse to give him any stars!! Do they have a NEGATIVE RATING??? A friend suggested I go to him and Kaiser may cover sessions like it did for her. I went to ask if my insurance would cover his acupuncture. The office assistant was not there. Dr. Chen said wait a few minutes abd gave me forms to fill out(He made sure I filled out forms). I kept telling all I wanted was to know if he can help my condition and if Kaiser will cover it. Then he took me back and spent 10 minutes with me telling me if I don't get his treatment eventually I may be wheelchair bound! I kept asking about Kaiser. At the end he guffawed and said "Oh hard to get thru Kaiser-they will try everything they can before giving approval. Not easy, not possible. He knew the answer all along! The topper he charged me $50.00!!!!! for telling me Kaiser will not approve payment for his sessions. ALL I CAN SAY IS HE NEEDED THE MONEY MORE THAN I DID. read more

I am looking forward to my treatment, but just thought I'd review on my recent visit for information. It was above and beyond what I had expected. I learned more in those twenty minutes than I had at my doctor's office the last year. I will keep you all posted on my treatment. read more

I was referred to Dr. Chen by a close friend. I have a list of ailments that Western medicine isn't helping. It gets tiring taking meds to just cover up the pain/symptoms or deal with major side effects from meds. We decided to start tackling my daily migraines/Headaches first. He explained everything and why he believed I was getting them and then started his treatment (acupuncture needles across my shoulders/back and neck followed by in my elbows and hands). It was very relaxing to some peoples surprise. He followed it with a short massage with some tool. I was migraine/headache free for days. It was his suggestion (and the experience of my friend) to go as often as possible in the beginning to regulate all of the tension and problem areas. Unfortunately, it's January and I have a large deductible to meet first (which they work well with -a contracted rate of $52.50 for BC PPO) so I will be going once a week until satisfied. I am extremely excited to be trying this finally and would recommend Dr. Chen to everyone I know. read more
