First time I've tried acupuncture, and I have to admit it, I'm sold. I had always put it off…read morebecause I didn't want the cost associated with having to pay for multiple visits, but this "community" setting has won me over. The first visit you get a tour along with learning the rules and regulations. After that, you're on your own. You walk in (either with or without an appointment), pay at the pay station - and you set the amount you want to pay - then take a seat in one of the recliners. Okay, this part is a bit odd; you are in a massive dimly lit room with calming new age music playing. After you take a seat, the acupuncturist on duty that day comes over, quizzes you about your issues, then proceeds to place needed in your arms, hands, legs, feet, ears, and/or head. It does not hurt - there is mostly just a pressure, if you feel anything at all. This community environment, instead of having individual cubicles or offices, is what enables them to keep the prices so low. So, while you may hear snoring, coughing, whispering, etc. you are paying a lot less then you would at many offices.

Why 3 stars? Because I suppose acupuncture just isn't for me…read more --- --- --- First of all, I will say this - if acupuncture IS your thing, I fully support the mission of this center. They have a "pay what you can" policy that places all each session between $15-$40 and it's totally up to the client what amount they would like to pay within that range. Plus, my interactions with the woman at the front desk and the therapist were very pleasant. If I were ever to have acupuncture done again, I would come right back here. My rating is more about the service itself, and might be more of an indictment on acupuncture as a whole, rather than the business. I've had lower back and hip pain for years. I've tried everything under the sun to mitigate this pain, but nothing has worked. I recently asked my physical therapist if he thought acupuncture would be helpful and he suggested that it was worth a shot. I saw the phenomenal reviews for this studio, so it was pretty obvious where I'd be going for my first experience. Booking my appointment online was super easy, and I was able to get something that was only about an hour or so later from when I actually made the appointment. When I arrived, I was given new patient paperwork and was kicking myself when I read that headphones could be used, because I didn't even think to bring mine. However, before I was sent back for treatment, I was asked to please turn my phone completely off before leaving the lobby, so I'm not sure how one would listen to headphones when their phone isn't allowed to be one. Either way, this was not a huge issue. I received a brief tour of the facility and then was shown to my chair. I was asked to remove my shoes, socks, watch and everything in my pockets. The recliner I was asked to sit in was incredibly comfortable - that was probably my favorite part of the entire experience. When the acupuncturist came by, he asked me where my ailments were. He then gave me a quick overview of what to expect and then began poking me with the needles. He mentioned that he would be poking me all over my body, but I didn't expect zero attention to be given to my actual problem areas. He poked my hands, my arm, my head and my ankles. A few of the needles hurt going in and a few others would hurt pretty badly if I even moved a small amount. Sitting still for about 45 minutes was virtually impossible, so I had quite a few instances of accidentally moving the needles into some pretty painful positions, on accident. Eventually the acupuncturist came by to remove the needles. He asked me if I felt better. It made me laugh because it just didn't seem possible that my chronic pain of 2 years could actually dissolve after tiny needles were inserted into random parts of my body. I felt comfortable and relaxed due to the delightful chair and peaceful music that was being played, but of course it was a zero in terms of helping my pain. Does acupuncture actually work for certain problems and certain people. I'm sure. But for me and this issue, it's just not for me.

I was asked to show up 15 minutes early for a new patient appointment. I showed up 20 minutes early and filled out paperwork promptly. I watched two people walk in after me, I would say a minimum of 20 minutes after. It could have been longer, I don't want to exaggerate, but I know it was at least that because they were certainly both after my appointment's start time. One with an appointment and one walk-in that needed something done quickly. I understand the walk-in was quick, but I was still placed behind them even though I had an appointment. She just strolled in and was taken care of almost immediately. I am not sure exactly why the other person with an appointment was taken back earlier. I was just told that she liked to spend more time with new patients, which I can appreciate, but within reason. After waiting 51 minutes, I was taken back and told my blood pressure was too high to be treated. I get that may be true, but most people's blood pressure increases as they wait longer and longer. I wouldn't want her to treat me if I'm not ready, but a simple acknowledgment would have sufficed. If that was going to decide whether I could be treated, it would have been nice and seems possible they could have done this when I got there. The office manager was incredibly nice and I enjoyed my experience with her. I will never go back and I will recommend people not to go here. I took time off from work to go to this. I showed up early in order for her to treat me as a new patient, but I was penalized for her earlier delays in the day. Once again, no one's fault for delays, but felt like the person that got there for their appointment well ahead might have been seen first. She may be a great acupuncturist, I cannot attest to that, but the experience was so bad it wouldn't be worth it. The office manager was incredibly nice and I enjoyed my experience with her.

I was skeptical about the effectiveness of acupuncture but am now a firm believer in this technique which the Chinese have practiced for over 3000 years. The holistic approach that one thing wrong with your body affects overall health makes sense. I highly recommend seeing Elizabeth for any health issues. She is wonderful!

I didn't really know what to expect as I had never been to an acupuncturist, I figured it would be good to at least try it once and after the first visit, I was hooked. It doesn't hurt, thank goodness! Dr. Su is very personable and knows you by name immediately and gets to know what you are enduring (from stress to pain to digestive to whatever you are feeling...) she works to find the best approach that works for you. And you can ask whatever questions you want, she will explain. I feel like in just a few weeks it (along with a combination of some other lifestyle changes I continue to make) has made a difference in my every day functionality! It's so wonderful! I also get to sample some essential oils when I'm there, she turned me onto Peppermint the other day, it was really good....so good I may have to buy some. There is individual session pricing, package pricing and community pricing available. It's changed from some of the earlier reviews, so check online or with them directly on what they offer. But I believe the initial consult and 1st session of $59 hasn't changed and that is a really good price. Each session is 30-45 minutes and I feel so relaxed that at times I've found myself floating into some other dimension... I know I have a long way to go, but I feel like I am on my way to a healthier life with Dr. Su's help. I'm so glad a couple of my friends referred me to her. I would recommend her to anyone.

After almost 19 years of doing nails my back has definitely been thru it. Right when we walked in the receptionist welcomed me by name (which was nice & thoughtful) My paperwork had been filled out ahead of time online so Dr Huynh was able to take me right back. I explained my pain and the location. He in return explained where he was going to place the needles and the reason for each one. All of them were located in my left wrist & hand. He then asked me to stand up slowly and then to touch my knee and then my ankles. AMAZINGLY I was able to do both WITHOUT ANY PAIN!! I was pretty amazed. Then he found a point on the top of my head and placed another needle...... again , more releasing of pain!!!! He then asked me to lay down and just relax. He left me and my husband there for maybe 5-7 mins then came back in and proceeded to inform me of my insides... heart, kidney, liver, blood flow, etc. also included in there were some emotional states that were pretty spot on. All of this made my husband very interested and wanting to be seen as soon as possible. So they were kind enough to squeeze him in. I HIGHLY recommend Anna Health!!! Dr. Huynh knows his craft.
