This is a review for Dr. Harry Ding, who treated me at a different location. I saw several skilled…read moreacupuncturists for my condition through a hospital and I felt that his was the most effective treatment. I had no idea about nuances in acupuncturist education throughout treatment and so was not swayed by his impressive background when going into the appointments. I appreciated Dr. Ding's careful attention to my concerns, and thorough explanations of TCM diagnosis and treatment. He has a very caring and attentive bedside manner. He also used needles that were either thinner or less perceptible than others', but no less effective. I felt very deep relaxation during treatments, it was almost a drug-like effect. I was quite shocked that the general wellness approach happened to help my stubborn insomnia of 2+ year duration, and anxiety greatly, which wasn't a stated goal of treatment. I felt this after about 3-4 treatments which were spread out over months due to holidays (though not all were with Dr. Ding.) Subsequently I looked into the medical literature and there are indeed medical literature reviews showing acupuncture is helpful for insomnia after just 3 weeks - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34049475/ ... not that one needs confirmation in western literature, but it's gratifying when they align. Anyway, I'm a convert and am excited to pursue acupuncture more long-term for health maintenance. I hope to come to this clinic once my insurance changes. We are quite lucky to have such skilled practitioners in the bay.

It's an almost guarantee that he will help with my back pain. I know if the pain doesn't subside in one visit, it's probably a bad case and needs some extensive care.

I highly recommend Dr. Lee if you are thinking of trying acupuncture, massage therapy, or traditional Chinese medicine to treat your body pains, or to improve the state of sub-health.

I found this place via Yelp and the Yellow Pages when I was searching for Chinese Tui Na massage…read more Hardly anyone seems to do it 'alone' anymore, and this place was close to home. Just to let you know I'm a white female, and this place has about 99.5% (or more) chinese clientele. Someone answered the phone who could barely speak english, and then the phone was transferred to someone who did. It smells of chinese herbs when you walk in, and is very cluttered because the space is so tiny. The rate was very low for 1 hour of massage--and I called a few places that were rude and insisted I needed BOTH acupuncture and Tui Na treatments and for more money. I've had a huge painful knot in my shoulder (that was now affecting my arm too!) that just acupuncture would not get out--and it needed immediate work. The building, paint and furnishings are older, so if you are looking for a 'plush' experience...this isn't the place. It is very plain and to the point. You pay first, and are shown a room with a robe. Everything is clean--but nothing fancy; no mood music, candles, or dim lights. Chinese massage stimulates your chi and works on your meridians. You are also going to be stretched, kneeded and it is going to hurt if you are not flexible and your meridians are choked up. If you are thinking sweedish massage, this isn't that at all. My technician arrived with a herbal bag warmed in the microwave which went on my lower back. They ask where your issue (s) are, then get to work. I had hour massage (non sexual of course). I'm stating this just in case someone thinks otherwise! Anne was young and quite good. She actually got up on the table like a thai massage and was strong. Unfortunately for me, I've left this knot go for well over 2 months, and it is going to take some doing to get it all the way out. I thought the massage was quite good and tipped well. I will be back and told them I'd Yelp them. Another asian man was there grabbing cards for friends. Says he's been going there years and highly recommends the place. I will go back...as it is quite reasonable, close to home, and I got exactly what I wanted. Again, this is chinese style and the offices are very tiny, older and nothing special. Besides, you have your eyes closed getting your treatments...so you don't need to look at painted walls with art.

I would not hesitate to refer Dr. Helen to anyone. She is a kind and personable person who is very knowledgeable in her field.

I have Dr. Helen to thank for my improved skin, and am so thankful for her. My sisters all go to her as well, and she personalizes each of our facial treatments to suit our skin. My mother works as a hair stylist and has had constant pains in her hands after working in the industry for more than twenty years. She struggled to bend her thumb but after one acupuncture session with Dr. Helen, she was back to work the next day with no pain! I don't know how she does it but I am so grateful for Dr. Helen's skill and how she really cares about all her patients. I can not recommend her highly enough, she is extremely skilled at what she does!

I got the highest grade of contact lenses that were available, and still, my vision didn't improve. Then my neurologist recommended three days of steroid transfusion with five or seven days of Prednisone. That freakin' sucked. EFF steroid transfusion, I wanted to do something...anything...else than a freakin' steroid transfusion!! I remembered seeing a pic of my yoga teacher at BYSJ, Yi-Ting Chuang, holding an acupuncture certificate on her hand when she graduated, and so I decided to make an appointment with her. Even though I hardly talked to Yi-Ting when she taught classes, I've know her since I've started practicing yoga in 2007. I was curious to know if acupuncture could help with my optic neuritis. She was surprised to see me at her clinic! Let me tell ya, my 8-10 week sessions of acupuncture were WAYYYYYYY better, less painful and less stressful, than 3 days of steroid transfusion: First of all, with the steroid transfusions (I'm just going to call it STs for short), I was in a room with chemo patients and that was depressing as hell. In Yi-Ting's clinic, I was in a lovely and tranquil room by myself. She even brought in an extra heater for me when I was cold. Awwww. Second, when I had the STs, the nurses had a hard time finding my vein. In each visit, different nurses had to try numerous times to get the stupid IV in my system. My arms were all bruised up even before the transfusion! The needles that Yi-Ting used for me were small. Sometimes they tickled, and sometimes there's a quick intense poke. I would rather have small needles than the IV. It's surprising how small needles were more tolerable than one IV needle. Third, I was bummed STs didn't make me feel as strong as Popeye like I thought it would. After all, it's steroids right? But no... I felt weak and kept falling out of my poses when I practiced yoga! After each acupuncture session, I had so much energy and I felt sooooo good! I love how I could take naps during my sessions. My vision was surprisingly brighter when I woke up from my naps! I couldn't sleep during my STs, I was freaking out how I could taste the chemicals in my mouth. BLECCCHH. And I hated drinking the juice they provided cuz I knew how much sugar it had, but I had to drink it to make my mouth feel better. No juice could cover that horrific taste! Not even two boxes of juice! Lastly, and most importantly, the effectiveness of both treatments were so different! The western medicine way was only effective for a month. It went away quickly the second time it came back. However, it came back a few more times, I didn't bother telling my neurologist. I think that's when I called Yi-Ting in late December or early January. Since February, I have not had any issues with optic neuritis. Woo hoooo! Knock on wood! I hope it doesn't come back! Acupuncture has helped me with my other symptoms too. I had this knee pain that I would get every month, but last month I realized I haven't felt that pain in a couple of months. I love how acupuncture has helped me a lot, so I still go once a month for maintenance. I still have fear in the back of my mind that it might come back. I could go to Kaiser for acupuncture and it would be paid by my insurance, but instead I pay out of my pocket to see Yi-Ting. I feel more safe and comfortable with her than going to a hospital for acupuncture. Besides, western medicine has failed me but Yi-Ting rescued me with Eastern medicine. Thank you, Yi-Ting! See you soon!

My first visit was an urgent appointment when something triggered my sciatica pain on the morning right before my Nepal trip. I was thinking to cancel this trip because I couldn't sit too long on such a long flight (17 hours 1 stop). My husband recommended me to see Jessica to give it a try before I cancel the trip. Jessica is an outgoing, funny and open minded CHM practitioner. She took her time to ask me very detail questions about my overall health issues along with my sciatica problems and was very patient to listen to my answers. After the acupuncture treatment, I instantly felt big release of my sciatica and leg pain. She prescribed some Chinese herb medicine to help me get through the Nepal trip till the second to last day. After coming back from Nepal, I started internal medicine treatment with Jessica right away. After taking the Chinese herbal medicine for the past 2 months, I'm so impressed that I feel partially if not fully recovered from a lot of different health issues only after 5 visits. Some of these issue include: 1. Constant thirst and a dry mouth for years 2. Bloating after eating for over 10 years3. Night sweats and feeling hot at night for the recent 3 years4. Difficult falling asleep for the recent 3 years 5. Being a light sleeper and having poor sleep quality for many years 6. Having headaches, neck pressure, and tightness for the past 3 years 7. Sciatica pain and muscle tightness for over 20 years I am very happy that I can enjoy my life more because I feel energetic, painless, and confident now. I would highly recommend Dr. Xin Ling Lee.
