I've been to several acupuncturists and none have been as thorough as Dr.Burke. She treated me for my sciatic pain from running but also other areas that I didn't even know needed to be treated. All other acupuncturists I've seen have only ever treated my pain so it makes me feel good that she really took her time. She has two different types of needles so if it's your first time or a little sensitive, just let her know. She was great at explaining what she was doing/why and what needs extra attention. You definitely get your moneys worth!!!! Can't wait to continue to see her. read more

I went to see Dr. Susan Burke to address ongoing pain in my neck and shoulders and am so glad I found her. She was able to get me in for an appointment the next day - her office is very comfortable and clean and she put me at ease as soon as I arrived. The paperwork you fill out was very thorough, and she asked lots of questions to ensure that the course of treatment would be most effective. She performed acupuncture and cupping - making sure to provide explanations along the way - and afterwards I felt such relief as the majority of pain and tension in my neck and shoulders had gone away. I'm very grateful to Dr. Burke and will absolutely be returning in the future. read more

I've tried several acupuncturists, and she is by far the best I've ever had. I came in seeking help for hip pain and chronic sinus issues, and she took the time to do a thorough evaluation and address my concerns. She is one of the sweetest, most compassionate people you'll ever meet, and she explains every step of the process so you always feel comfortable and informed. I highly recommend her, and I've already scheduled my follow-up appointment. Her workplace is very welcoming and you feel set for your treatment. read more

I was in real pain when I got there and significantly less when I left. I look forward to the next few visits that I believe will get me back to normal. My back was so tight that I could barely turn my head. Susan KNOWS what she is doing and I'm very thankful that I found her. read more

I've recently started seeing Dr. Burke for both acupuncture and cupping and couldn't be happier. This is my first time for both and I was a bit nervous but her calming, comforting energy put me right at ease from my first appointment. From my experience, not only is she highly skilled in the technical practice but also super informational in a variety of wellness areas. I've received lots of helpful tips on things ranging from sleep to nutrition and more. I'm also happy to report the injury I first went in for is already seeing progress after just the first 2 treatments. I will be regular for sure! read more

Excellent top quality knowledgeable perfectionist. I have been going to Dr. Tai Nan Wong (acupuncture) for more than 40 years and he recently retired. I am thankful that Dr. Burke continues her practice. Her attention to a new patient was impressive. From the very beginning I felt relaxed and comfortable. Her knowledge goes well beyond acupuncture into other wellness practices. I suggest that you read what is on her webpage. Anyone that works with Dr Burke will be amazed. read more

Goodness! I am really grateful for Susan! I have seen her twice and have another 3 appointments lined up with her bc I had originally had an appointment with my primary do for about my kidney health and also my hormones. I wanted answers as to why I am SO fatigued all the time! Since going to Susan I feel I am in the right hands to someone who listens to me and knows the body in a much better and deeper way than western medicine. After my first appointment I could tell there was a lot that I needed to release and the second appointment I felt very relaxed and excited to keep working with her. Susan is a very warm and kind woman who knows her stuff! She instantly makes you feel at home with her kindness, listens to what you have to say and has a calm demeanor as well!! read more

I started my path to optimal health 4 years ago, and Dr. Burke has be integral to this. The results are undeniable and truly amazing. I have seen results not only in what I was seeking to be treated, but in other areas that I did not realize were not healthy based on underlying issues. Another important point, is that Dr. Burke was trained and licensed through the state of California, which is the highest accreditation. She is a licensed Dr. of Oriental Medicine. She also only practices constitutional acupuncture, which is what I was in search for when I began the process of finding a true acupuncturist. "Constitutional acupuncture is a type of acupuncture based on a form of Oriental medicine in which treatment is based on a person's constitution. According to this type of medicine, the constitution is the specific way a person's organs affect health and how he or she looks, thinks, behaves, and responds to treatment." I highly recommend her, and have taken my son, and other family members to her. It's truly been a gift and a great act of self care that I am grateful for. I have recently gotten a Qi Beauty Facial here, and the results are amazing! My face is glowing and it looks lifted and defined. Hundreds of tiny gold magnets are placed on the face in a unique pattern to each person, acupuncture needles are also placed in anti-aging points on the body. The results-people are commenting on my skin and how young I look! No surgery or injectables needed with this! Qi Beauty Facial is amazing and I will recommend it to everyone. read more

Dr. Susan offers a light touch with heavy--in the best sense--impact, and I'm grateful for her expertise. As almost all the reviews here say, the woman knows what she's doing and is a real healer. Everything flowed well in our first meeting today: the conversation, the treatment, the music that fit the different phases of treatment, a serenity abiding through it all. How fortunate we are to have this wise woman and her good medicine. I look forward to our next appointment, our further progress in restoring the best health to my system. read more

I was referred to Dr. Burke by a friend. As I had never tried acupuncture before, I was open to trying it as I heard it helped with fertility. Fast forward 9+ months and I am so grateful I met Dr. Burke. She not only assisted me throughout my pregnancy but continues to support me through this 4th trimester. With each session Dr. Burke gave me more than just a treatment, she provided genuine support and helped me to love all parts of my pregnancy journey as well as feel confident and healthy! We have a beautiful and healthy baby girl and I cannot thank Dr. Burke enough for being a guide in bringing our little one into this world. read more

I saw Dr. Susan yesterday and had my first appointment for acupuncture and cupping. She goes above and beyond your typical appointment. I felt very comfortable and cared for. This was my hope to start feeling healthy again. I felt so much more relaxed during my session. I have been addicted to drinking wine every night and wanted to slow down some, last night I had no craving what so ever for any wine. I feel so much better this morning and have more energy. I highly recommend you see Dr. Susan! Looking forward to more sessions with her and what's to come. read more

I saw Dr. Susan Berke yesterday for the first time. I was referred to her by my daughter who sees her regularly. I was set to have a total knee replacement, and also have collapsed discs in my neck. I felt very safe and comfortable throughout the whole experience. She's very knowledgeable in Chinese medicine and acupuncture. She used a variety of methods including heat lamps, and cupping along with the acupuncture. She's a very interesting woman, and provided a lot of useful information for me to start living a healthier life and to feel less pain. I learned so much and I can't wait to visit her again. My neck feels so much better, I can actually move it without pain today. My knee has improved as well. she definitely knows her stuff. She took the time to recommend some organic, herbal remedies, and some input on my diet to help with cleansing my body. She really cared about making me feel better. I highly recommend her services. I am sure to return soon. read more

Yesterday I had a wondrous first visit with Dr. Susan Burke. I received acupuncture and cupping treatment. (only my 2nd time getting acupuncture and first time cupping). I didn't feel like a client, I felt more than that under her care. She connects with you and is genuine with who she is and the work she does. While on the table I felt comfortable, safe, and beautiful with her gentle touches. She gets to work before you know it and I felt like a flower on a table and little honey bee buzzing around me doing her work. It was hard not to smile & giggle because she was so fast (not rushed, she just really knows what she's doing). One minute she was on my arm and then poke! near my toe! lol. She is thorough with questions regarding your health and concerns and lightly gives positive feedback and bits of inspiration to keep your light shining :) Fast Forward on feeling,, Im in recovery from addition, depression, anxiety. After my visit with her the rest of the day I stayed in this calm state of mind. Not super happy or elated, but just calm and present. Today I was in Costco, on a Saturday mind you and I flowed through the lines and people with such ease and peacefulness. There was a moment i thought whoa, how am I strolling though this without my heartrate elevating.? All day I have felt at peace and content**also my skin is glowing :) I dig it! Dr. Burke is a gem and I cannot wait to for my next visit!! read more

Dr. Susie Burke is a miracle worker! I broke my thumb in Dec 2020 right before XMAS. I spent 2 days in the hospital, emergency surgery and the non-use of my thumb and hand. This in itself was very hard because I am very active and did not realize how much I use my hands. My very good fiend introduced me to Dr. Burke and I decided to give Dr. Burke try. I have had acupuncture and cupping before from other practitioners. Wow, the results were amazing. Her years of experience and understanding not only of the physical body, but the psychological, emotional, spiritual aspects of healing was phenomenal. Her holistic approach is superb and fit my belief system perfectly. I was able to be mindful of the healing when we had our sessions. I highly recommend Dr. Burke, her beautiful personality shines through every encounter you have with her. Try her out, you will not regret it! read more
