After needle placement, you're left to relax or sleep (bring your own audio if you want). Last ~10-15 minutes is acupressure massage, which can be painful, but always leaves me feeling better than when I came in. Occasionally, the Dr. does cupping treatment to boost circulation for a few days beyond acupuncture/acupressure. It's painful, but effective and my marks fade within a few days. He says "no pain, no gain." Dr. is adept at diagnosing muscle/joint issues usually by watching you walk in the door and just a few questions. Sometimes the injury/cause is not where you think, but the Dr. knows. My elderly mom and several of her friends also go there and also recommend this place widely. For those of us who work on computers all day, this is a great place to get some remedy for repetitive stress and too much sitting. Also, I referred my elderly Iranian lady neighbor who had been suffering with lower back/leg/hip pain and reduced mobility for several months. After two treatments here, she is greatly improved and was so grateful that she hugged me and brought me flowers.

I've had treatment done in the past and it was through Kaiser NoCal so when I came here to my surprise my plan also helped cover some sessions here. However, if you do not health insurance does cover these kinds of specialty services, Dr. Won can let you know of the per session cost. I don't think it was anything outrageous though. He was also able to check if I was eligible to be covered pretty quick (in a few minutes or less at the beginning of our first session - and I was eternally grateful). He not only provided traditional acupuncture and cupping (not fire cupping FYI, it was suction based) for me that I was used to, but also added in some new therapies like electrostimulation, ultrasound, and red light therapy. Also added bonus since I came in with a tight back and shoulders that really added to my wrist and finger pains he also taught me some exercises to help loosen up the tension! Also, if you are a little nervous about needles like I have been I thought he was pretty gentle when placing them on the necessary points for your treatment plan! I am super grateful and when I'm back in town I plan to schedule another appointment with him - which is quick and easy to do! My first appointment I scheduled via Yelp and then from there I got his contact information to make appointments directly. Thanks again, Dr. Won and see you next time!

(Long post warning) I've been seeing Dr. Hung since July 2019. I came to prepare myself for…read morepregnancy. I was so happy and excited at first when I got pregnant in November 2019 thinking Dr. Hung's herbs and advice really helped. However, I had a miscarriage in December 2019, after enjoying the good news of being a mom for just a little more than a week or so. I was devastated, thinking I must have done something wrong. Did I not sleep enough? Was I too anxious? Is it because my body wasn't ready? Or maybe it was the two sips of coffee that I accidentally drank. Dr. Hung tried to help save my baby with his herbs but it didn't work, which this was no one to blame for sure. I thought, maybe this just wasn't meant to be. Dr Hung had given me treatment with herbs to help my body recover from the lost, which restored my energy and body quickly. Shortly after there comes the pandemic. While I am still taking the herbs to prepare for my next pregnancy, we continued meeting through telehealth. During those 2 months of treatment online, my body had gotten worse. My heart beat has become much faster and I will easily faint. Dr Hung said it was probably due to stress and my body not having enough blood, so he adjusted the herbs. I also decided to visit him in person again as I thought maybe his treatment decisions would be more accurate if he can feel my pulse. A few months after, we've been trying to conceive but still have not succeed. I even took my husband with me to see Dr. Hung to get prepared. In October, Dr Hung told us we can stop taking the herbs and try to conceive (Officially). That's when I realized my heart rate has drastically increased even while resting. I would faint very easily and I have lost a lot of weight. I texted Dr Hung about my situation and he told me to go back to him if I don't get pregnant. With a rising concern of my health, I decided to consult my family doctor regarding my situation. After the blood test, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, which I have no idea I had it prior to this check up. I was disappointed because Dr. Hung wasn't able to detect such issues until I did my blood test. But I still had a little faith in him as he rest assured that Chinese medicine can help with my condition. Constantly reminding me of his credentials and 30 years of experience, he said he can use Chinese herbs to help me and it would be better than taking western meds due to the known and unknown side effects that may even affect my next pregnancy. I asked him if taking the Chinese herbs would affect my thyroid going from hyper to hypo like what the western medicine do, and Dr. Hung said it will not because Chinese herbs will balance the values, unlike western medicine. One month into taking the Chinese herbs, my condition has improved but it also went into the other end of extreme. I became super tired all the time, and also gaining weight. My face would look super puff. I consulted Dr Hung and he said not to worry because the weather is changing and it is getting colder. It is normal to feel sleepy, tired, and feel swollen a little bit. A week later that appointment I took another blood test, before my appointment to the specialist. It was found that not only that I no longer have hyperthyroidism, but I went to the next extreme of being hypothyroidism. The TSH value was extremely high. I was so upset and disappointed with the result. After speaking to Dr. Hung, his explanation was "this proves my meds are super effective!". He explained how different people may have a different reaction to the medications, but in general his meds are effective. He reminded me again his credentials and experience with both Chinese and western medicine. But he refused to acknowledge his misjudgment on my situation, and his incompetence in listening to my concerns with my body even I've told him how I felt. He also went back and refuted what he said about the herbs wouldn't cause such situation by reasoning with how each body reacts differently. He also refused to let me know what are the ingredients in his medication which my specialist would love to know what's in my body and to make the right judgment for my treatment, saying this raises copyright issue. While I truly believe Chinese medicines has its own benefits and I am still a true believer in it, I would like to summarize by saying there are things Chinese medicine can't substitute. A good solid blood test is one for sure, which I think Dr hung would agree himself too. But on top of that, while Chinese herbs can definitely help in many ways, it can also masks the symptoms of what truly lies beneath your body. Do be aware that you won't get to know what you're actually eating and putting inside your body unless Dr Hung would graciously let you know the ingredients. I hope people who are reading this will be aware of the risks and make the right decisions for themselves, especially for people who have similar situation as me.

After just one treatment, I was able to sleep on my right side again--the side affected by shingles--which I hadn't been able to do due to pain. My pain level dropped significantly. Please remember that everyone has a different response to the treatment, my body just happened to respond quickly in my opinion. Dr. Fu is very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. My primary doctor mentioned that painkillers could help but warned they are highly addictive, so I decided to look for alternative treatment options. I'm so glad I found Dr. Fu. Although the practice does not accept insurance, the care and results are absolutely worth it. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective alternative medical care, especially for chronic pain.

Dr. Fu is very knowledgeable and helpful! Last year I went to Dr. Fu for my elbow injury and he…read morewas able to help me with pain management and recovery. This year, I had a severe eczema flare up that didn't respond well to the typical steroid treatment that dermatologists tend to prescribe (both oral and topical). I knew I had to go back to Dr. Fu! He prescribed some herbal medicine and within 3 sessions of this acupuncture + herbal medicine combo, my flare up calmed down by a lot. I will be sure to continue my treatments and herbal medicine prescriptions. From my experience, I can see why folks might describe Eastern Medicine and acupuncture are "slower" treatments, but the main benefit is that you're getting to the root of the issue, rather than just slapping a bandaid on your pain or discomfort. It's an investment, but your health is worth it! Dr. Fu's office will offer you packages with multiple sessions, which makes sense, given that you will need to be diligent about attending your sessions (and taking any prescribed medication) if you want to see good results. Thank you, Dr. Fu, for your expertise and kindness!

There are thousands of acupuncture points across the human body. I am amazed at the versatility, efficiency, and effectiveness of my first-ever holistic and Oriental Medicine/TCM experience. I have a health condition that has been a physical and mental burden for many years. My quest to get real help has been challenging. I felt relief, increased energy, and calmness after the first acupuncture session. Each subsequent session brought cumulative improvement. I believe acupuncture is a key component of a long-term health care and maintenance plan. Dr. Shin has also been advising on managing other aspects of health. I strive to improve on providing the doctor with feedback as precise as possible on my healing journey. Further appreciation of Oriental Medicine/TCM enhances my ability to take better care of my health, and that of the many around me.
