Traditional docs had told me there was nothing to do anymore. From the first visit, she listened to everything I had to say and examined me, then we immediately began treatment. She estimated 2-3 months minimum of treatment before Id be better, and she's consistently checked in on progress and made modifications as needed. I felt better in a week, and could see/feel even more results within the first month. 4 months later and I am baffled at the results. My quality of life has *massively* improved and its all thanks to her. She has a wonderful, kind bedside manner that makes you feel at ease, heard, and taken care of. The office staff are always helpful, kind, and wonderful to chat with too!!! If you're on the fence, please go see her!! :]

Dr. Zhao is amazing. I went in with low expectations - having battled with migraines for 25 years…read more But I thought what else could I lose, having tried every supplement and prescription I had access to. Since starting acupuncture in January 2026 I have not had a migraine since. I've had some mild headaches here and there (days I forgot to drink enough water, or ate garbage), but not my dreaded 3-4 day stuck in bed with all the lights off migraine terror. It's really been amazing. I'm now working with Dr. Zhao on all the other issues I've ignored for so long. The weird tennis elbow/carpal tunnel pain, insomnia, the random chronic things that I just learned to live in pain with. For new patients, you will go into a consultation and then almost seamlessly transition right in to treatment. So a consultation lasts like maybe 10-15 minutes and then the acupuncture (depending on what you have going on) may take 45 minutes. If you just want the consultation, no treatment, you will need to be very clear about this. Dr. Zhao is ready to work, so if you do NOT want treatment you'll need to speak up. My insurance unfortunately does not cover acupuncture ( I have an HSA) so I pay about $185 for cupping and acupuncture per session. I know with other insurance it would be about $15 co-pay. I recommend Dr. Zhao to everyone.

I wasn't big on acupuncture because I've been to many different places and hadn't seen much results from my experience. However after seeing Joohee, my concerns have improved.

My body is overall feeling well balanced! I would definitely recommend this place to others. Joohee is very caring and knowledgeable.

I wanted to wait a couple months before writing this review to give this acupuncture business an…read moreaccurate assessment based on the outcomes I've obtained. I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have taken the holistic approach to treating my disease. I decided to try acupuncture to see if it could assist with my inflammation and pain. I did my research and decided to try Lee Acupuncture based on all the positive reviews. There were even a few reviews coming from arthritis patients who had obtained good results. They're located in a small business plaza that borders Costa Mesa & Newport Beach. The big "Melton Int'l Tackle" sign is a good landmark. They are located all the way down the alley on the right. Free parking is available. The office itself is rather small with 3-4 patient rooms and a small waiting area that's comfortably furnished with 2 chairs, a sofa and some snacks & water. I was pleased to learn that my insurance covered the first 6 sessions (per year) at $40 co-pay per session. After that the rate goes up, but you can buy a package that offers lower rates. The very 1st session was interesting, as they hooked me up to a machine to determine how balanced my energy was flowing internally. It highlighted key areas of improvement. The belief is that the more balanced I am, the less inflammation I will have. Each session is about 1/2 an hour. I started going twice a week, and now I go once a week. I was assigned to Dr. Kim who thoroughly explained everything to me prior to starting, and continues to remain helpful and caring. He inserts the needles in various areas, primarily my hands, feet and head. Sometimes it hurts a little when the needles go in, and a couple times I've bled after the needles came out, but that's probably because it hit a vein. I lay on the table for 1/2 hour and feel very relaxed afterwards. In addition to the acupuncture, I take herbs that I purchase from them for $90 for 1 weeks worth. They said it's very important to keep taking the herbs as it assists with the healing process. I had also read about this online. I take the herbs 2x a day (AM & PM) with food. I mix the herbs with a little water and drink it like a tea. After approximately two months of acupuncture and drinking herbs, I can positively say that my inflammation has gone down significantly. I took a photo of my inflammation on my hands & feet prior to starting, and there has been a big improvement! I will definitely continue seeing Dr. Kim, and I'm so happy I discovered Lee Acupuncture.

In March 2025, I had a severe neck and upper back spasm and couldn't even get out of bed so I had to go to urgent care. I had a huge knot in my neck which limited my range of motion and when I turned my head it made a crunchy sound. Once again the doctor recommended p.t. and my therapist said acupuncture might also help. Luckily Reza was in my insurance network and he started treating me in April 2025. After one year of acupuncture, cupping and scraping, unbelievably I no longer have any neck issues !! I wish I had found Reza 10 years ago !! My neck feels great, so thank you Reza for taking care of me and also to his assistant Nick, who is always so kind and helpful booking my appointments.

I definitely give Irvine Acupuncture a 5/5 rating. Dr. Rey's experience, knowledge and treatments…read morehave made my life so much better. He is also very good at explaining things and answering questions. I initially went in for help with insomnia. I had tried all OTC sleep aids which had worked for years and then they started having the opposite effect. I tried all the latest prescription sleep aids but they didn't work well and left me drowsy all day. Dr. Rey's treatment has given me an extra 60-90 minutes of sleep at night, but even more importantly, I get a lot more deep sleep and REM sleep which really makes a difference. I am so thankful - I actually look forward to going to sleep now knowing that I will be rested when I get up. He has also helped me with my almost daily headaches and neck pain. He has helped me deal with withdrawal symptoms from stopping HRT treatment. He's been able to help me with foot pain which is very important to me since I'm a big walker! And he is currently helping me with lowering my blood pressure. Yes - Irvine Acupuncture is wonderful! I recommend it highly. Nick (front desk) is also a great help with scheduling, insurance claims, and answering questions. ~ Sally L

A singers Voice Restored Just in Time for Competition…read more Dr. Anna is an exceptional acupuncturist and healer. My teen daughter, a dedicated soprano, lost her voice completely on Tuesday morning from a sudden bout of cough and laryngitis--devastating timing with a major vocal competition looming on Saturday, complete with challenging repertoire.  We were fortunate to see Dr. Anna on Wednesday evening. She treated my daughter with such care, expertise, precision, care and intuition.  She not only addressed the symptoms but made my daughter feel supported and hopeful. Following Dr. Anna's treatment and careful vocal rest, my daughter was able to warm up and sing confidently on Saturday -- and even placed in the competition! Considering where she started earlier in the week, that outcome was nothing short of amazing. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Anna for her skill and compassion. We love her practice and highly recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful, effective care.

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!
