Dr. Emily Kwong is fantastic. I can't say enough good words. I came to her with a severe impingement of my unlnar nerve. It was so bad I had severe atrophy in my hand and particularly around my thumb. I am a musician and I could not play, at all, and making plans to sell my equipment. My fingers were numb and had very limited movement. Surgery was looking like the only option. 12+ weeks later and the amount of improvement has been nothing short of miraculous. I can once again play my guitar, the atrophy is has improved greatly and is almost gone. Dexterity and strength has returned. Surgery seems no longer seem necessary. I will be forever grateful to her. read more

I began visiting Emily Kwong on a regular basis when I was going through a rough case of Bell's Palsy and I can honestly say her care made all the difference. Not only do I feel she's a skilled and knowledgeable acupuncturist, but she also takes the time to truly listen and support her patients. Each session left me feeling cared for and hopeful and over time I saw real improvement in my recovery. I wholeheartedly recommend Emily Kwong to anyone seeking acupuncture for healing, balance and overall wellness read more

Dr Kwong is amazing and one of the most emotionally intelligent people I've ever come in contact with. So very grateful for her help.

I had been going to Eva for about 15 years with excellent results for many issues and now her daughter, Emily, has taken over. Since it was an option, I saw her massage therapist, Zak, to see if I could resolve my dizziness and vertigo without needles. It has been very effective so far. But then my knee had been acting up and I needed acupuncture so I saw Emily. After the first treatment the pain was reduced noticeably. And it's continually getting better. Under their care, I have not needed an American doctor in years. As an added bonus, parking is easy here and it's right off the freeway. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Kwong. She is well versed in the art of acupuncture and was able to relieve my problem with tennis elbow in only one session. There was very little discomfort with the needles. Dr. Kwong is very careful in making sure that your session is as stress free as possible. Dr. Kwong should be your first choice if you are seeking an acupuncturist for pain relief. read more

E. Kwong Acupuncture Clinic - There was very little discomfort with the needles. Dr. Kwong is very careful in making sure that your session is as stress free as possible. - Acupuncture Near Me - Burlingame, California

Long overdue review for Dr. Kwong and Dr. Emily, her daughter. I went to see Dr. Kwong a few years ago for sciatica pain, which was so unbearable it was difficult to walk. I am not a fan of needles, and the thought of acupuncture was not something I thought I would ever do but I was desperate for relief without taking strong pain meds. Dr. Kwong was very kind and extremely knowledgeable in acupuncture. My pain subsided almost immediately after just 2 sessions, but life got busy, and I had to stop going. Then, around November of 2023, my sciatica came back with a vengeance as well as shoulder pain. I saw Dr. Kwong again, and she helped alleviate the pain with acupuncture, aricular (ear) acupuncture, and cupping. I felt great relief. Due to schedule conflicts, Dr. Kwong recommended that I see her daughter Emily, who is also a highly skilled acupuncturist and an absolute pro at aricular acupuncture. Dr. Emily is very nice and so easy to talk to. She truly wants to help and listens to you! She is genuinely a kind person and has helped with my pain tremendously. I'm happy to report that my sciatica pain is gone, and my shoulder pain has gone from a 9 to a 3 in just a few sessions. I highly recommend their office!! read more

Dr. Kwong is a terrific person. She is kind, gentle, caring, humble, and sincere practicianer. I am very grateful for her care. Had a very horrible surgical outcome with a Podiatrist who performed poorly on my right foot. Dr. Kwong has provided great pain relief and increased mobility to my right foot recovery process. She is truly Angel in white coat. I appreciate all that she provided over the past few months. I feel totally blessed. You'll be well cared for if you're dealing with any nagging pain. She's an Angel...who will not disappoint. read more

Eva is awesome....i suffer from daily headaches caused by allergies, migraines, tension, stress, etc. and wanted to find an alternative from taking meds (sudafed, advil, fiornal, etc). I discovered Eva about 7 yrs ago and my return has been long overdue. I stopped by her office (yes, i had a headache) yesterday and she is very welcoming and listens to your concerns. She started off by placing little accupressure pads on my ears...seems odd as the pain is on my forehead, back, sides, etc...she explained that certain points on ones ears helps to relieve the pain. Oddly as she pressed (and my ear hurt temporarily!), my headache slowly dissipated. Amazing! Let's just say i left her office with more clarity, no headache and returned to work more productive. Wow, and it was only after 1 session. I'm definitely even more of a believer of eastern medicine and will continue... Eva is wonderfu and will continue to see her on a regular basis...no more excuses of being too busy to make time for myself...she's a lifesaver! read more

Found this place for my husband. He has had issues with back pain and has tried many things to help cope with the pain. Finally I told him to try acupuncture and he definitely thanked me for it. He came back happy with the service and overall experience. The location is clean, Dr. Kwong is great at explaining the process and she is genuine there to help. read more

I am a Kaiser patient and heard that they will pay for a limited number of visits per year. I tried so many different and ineffective treatments for my migraines that didn't work. A friend suggested I try acupuncture. I figured it was worth a shot (even though I had tried it for another pain issue and it didn't work.) Well, I had tried Eva because she offers a discount to Kaiser patients, but is not in the Kaiser System. So, I went to the acupuncturist in their system and did all of the visits (10) and my migraines were not relieved. I tried Eva again and she tried a few times and then at the fourth session she figured out why I got migraines and fixed me up. I didn't suffer anymore and didn't have to take any medication to stop or relieve them. A year later I get my first migraine and I am going back to Eva because I know after ONE VISIT I will be relieved. read more

I always go to her every time I have any health issues. I feel like if I go to regular doctors at western medicine field, they just give me medication that causes side effects one after another. Dr. Kwong listens to you well and her way of sticking needle (acupuncture) doesn't hurt. She does very gentle. I strongly recommend her especially for those who are getting sick of western medicine. read more

Eva is amazing! I have had severe insomnia for 10 years-to the point where I was hardly able to function. I was fed sleeping pill after sleeping pill from my Kaiser doctor who refused to discuss covering any alternative treatments for me. The night after my first session with Eva, I slept like I hadn't in years. I am so happy to say that just a few months later, I sleep like a normal person-yay! Eva has literally saved my life. Not only do I sleep every night, but I have much more energy during the day and am able to enjoy my life again. In addition to her skills, she is a caring, compassionate and kind person. I would recommend that anyone considering acupuncture for any ailment go see Eva asap! read more

Most importantly, Eva's treatments work. She also has a very soothing presence and is extremely informative. She explains what she is doing and gives you home care instructions and suggestions for supplements and nutrition. Very easy to talk to and an empathetic person. She checked my insurance in about 5 minutes at our first appointment and I always pay the same copay...no issues at all like I'm seeing in other reviews. Maybe the fault is with the reviewers insurance, not Dr. Kwong. read more

Eva is great. I have been seeing Eva for a couple of months for issues related to stress and she's been highly effective in calming my nervous system. In addition to being a very effective acupuncturist, she also has a big heart and really cares about her patients. She is an A+ in my book! read more

Going to see Eva can be very illuminating. The information she can receive simply by looking at your ear is surprisingly accurate. Then her treatments are highly effective and her personalized herbal formulas are always very healing. Most acupuncturists will simply prescribe a patent formula if they even recommend herbs at all. To find a practitioner so adept at both is a jewel. I cant thank her enough for the care she has provided for me and my family. read more

I am familiar with Acupuncture, since I had previously used it for many sessions for my knee injury. I know it works, and has allowed me to continue running marathons, without knee pain. So when I consulted Eva for my most recent concerns I was hopeful that she could at least give me some relief and suggestions for my current concerns. I just left Eva, and had an awesome session with her. I explained my reasons for seeking out acupuncture, and she very attentively listened to me. We talked thoroughly before she even began. During the session she asked me my opinions, and we spoke more about my condition. "Which is to help improve my circulation while running." She made a few more suggestions and was patient and very in-tuned with my needs. I left there feeling better, an hopeful; and I look forward to the additional sessions to be able to improve my circulation and help with my running. AnnM read more

Great care and attention. Professional, thoughtful and effective. I have used acupuncture in the past without any real outcome or impact. Eva is excellent. She has treated my arm as well as my sinus with obvious improvement. I highly recommend her. read more

I can't express how grateful I am to have found Dr. Kwong. I have had chronic issues for years that doctors were no help with. Frustrated and feeling constantly ill, I finally decided to try acupuncture as an alternative healing method. I have had amazing results with Dr. Kwong. Not only is she experienced, she really loves what she does. It shows in her gentle and nurturing manner and her pursuit of constant ongoing learning. She is more than generous with her time, really invested in getting to know you as a person, and never rushes her sessions. She is more than happy to answer questions and explain her process as she works on you. If you have a fear of needles, she also practices acupressure without the use of needles. Her office is clean, comfortable, with ample parking. I can't say enough wonderful things. There are some previous posts about insurance issues. From my personal experience, I can tell you that my insurance tells me that I only have to pay a $25 copay when seeing Dr. Kwong. However, insurance doesn't always compensate Dr. Kwong for the total billed amount of her services. Some of her services or the length of time her services require are not covered by insurance and this varies from plan to plan. I don't want Dr. Kwong to treat me according to just what is covered by my insurance plan. I want to get well and I trust Dr. Kwong to treat me as she recommends. I don't think people quite understand how complex insurance is but being in HR for over 10yrs. I have a lot of experience. For the amazing work that Dr. Kwong has done for me, I certainly want to make sure that she gets paid in full and actually, I think she deserves more than what she charges for the benefits I have received. If you are curious or are not healing sufficiently through other means, I would book a session with Dr. Kwong. Her rates are very reasonable and she is overwhelmingly honest in setting expectation. read more

I've been going to Eva for 6 months and so far - it's been a wonderful healing experience mentally and physically. From back, knee and neck issues - she's wonderful! Her client service is excellent and patient care is 1st class! Signed, A VERY HAPPY customer! read more

I am thrilled to have Dr. Kwong as my acupuncturist. In fact, I couldn't stop talking about her impact on my life and health for several months after I began treatment with her. The first thing I noticed about Dr. Kwong is her keen ability to listen and understand me as the patient. It was such a contrast from my western doctors, who constantly rush through my 10-15 minutes with them, sometimes leaving me feeling more anxious. Dr. Kwong, however, is the kind of person you naturally trust and can easily talk to about anything. I am amazed at how she makes me feel comfortable even though I can get nervous with needles. Dr. Kwong has all the credentials, licenses and training - both academic and practical - that a neophyte Traditional Chinese Medicine patient like me would want in her first acupuncturist. But more than that, I highly value her compassion and natural ability to make her patients feel better. I was having a variety of symptoms - fatigue, indigestion, stress, menstrual pain - which she really approached holistically along with the actual acupuncture treatment. We examined my diet, sleeping and exercise patterns for reducing these symptoms and also for preventing more serious conditions in the future. She has many specialties, including auricular treatment, or ear acupressure, which is excellent for those who prefer not to use acupuncture needles. Having worked in the Kaiser system, she also makes her practice complementary with western medicine. For instance, when I began seeing Dr. Kwong she immediately detected a cyst, which would have remained unnoticed by my physician until the more acute stages. In monitoring the cyst she advised me on accessing lab tests from Kaiser in conjunction with our routine acupuncture treatments so that so that I could benefit from the best of both worlds. With acupuncture and acupressure treatment, the cyst started to diminish in size and disappeared. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Dr. Kwong. I feel much better these days, and have healed so well that I now just go in for an occasional appointment to maintain my health. read more

I pulled my muscle grabbing a cat from under the bed and had a lot of pains in my lower bad for a week until my friend recommended me to see an acupuncturist. I never had acupuncture so was a little skeptical, but I wasn't too keen on seeing a doctor either since they will just give out pain killer. I found Eva on Yelp, but didn't realize she was in Burlingame. I am in San Francisco. But I still went to see her since she gave me the same day appointment. I'm glad I went to see her. It took around an hour and when I left the pain reduced by 50 - 60% After 2 days it was totally gone. Don't hesitate to see Eva. It's worth it! read more

I saw Dr. Kwong over a period of a few weeks as she was "in network" and her name was given to me by my insurance. I think she is an excellent practitioner but if you are expecting her to bill your insurance watch out! My insurance pays 100% for 25 acupuncture visits. However, she instructs her billing company to save up a lot of visits and only bill once as a big gigantic visit, to apparently save money. In addition the billing company used the wrong tax id number for her. Result: insurance says she must rebill for me to have any payment made and until she does, I don't get any of my "deposit" that she asked for back, and further, as far as they are concerned she is "out of network submitting with a different tax id." I've asked her to correct this monthly and she hasn't in six months. read more

Today, months later and after I left a poor review for her, she finally refunded my deposits.

Eva Kwong is a very intelligent provider and you will gain keen insights after your first visit with her. My treatment was painless and effective. If you are used to the immaculate, curated, rather luxurious vibe of some SF acupuncture practices, be forewarned that Eva's practice in Burlingame is in sort of an odd location in a very funky (not in a good way) building. The first impression entering her offices was not great; stained carpets, a bit dusty, etc. However, her needles and all her supplies are packaged, sterile, individual use only, and her treatment rooms are basic, but clean. DO NOT go near the restoom in the hallway unless you absolutely must- it is disgusting. This is a big office building and the shared restrooms are not under Eva's control - so not her fault. Eva is such a good provider, I only wish her set-up reflected her excellence. Also, I must acknowledge that I am more sensitive to my surroundings than most, and I believe most people will notice the nice aspects more - the orchids and fishbowl, etc. As much as I am deterred by the location, I will continue to go to Eva because she is very knowledgeble and her treatments are effective and I do have utter confidence in the hygiene of treatment with her. She is very careful and also very kind and understanding. She is definitely 5 stars. My review is 4 only because of the building maintenance. read more

This review has been long overdue. Dr. Kwong is heaven sent. Words are not enough for me to express how grateful I am for her. She is awesome, very skilled and knowledgeable and most importantly, a very caring, nurturing and kind hearted soul. You can feel her concern and desire to make you better and whole. She goes above and beyond and you leave feeling better every time! God bless you, Dr. Kwong read more

Wow! What an amazing experience. I came in with a really bad knot on my back and pain in my shoulder blade. It was hard for me to sit still or lie on my back. Dr. Kwan was able to relieve the pains in my back. When I asked about how sanitary the needles were, not only did she show me the individually wrapped needles, she also demonstrated how she removed them to ensure that they were still sanitary before they were used on my body. During the entire time I was there, she was able to explain the process and answer all my questions. She made me feel comfortable and less anxious. If I ever have any problems in the future, I know who to go to for the best treatment ever. read more

Eva has been taking care of my Dad's high blood pressure and what can I say... she is amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and well respected, but beyond this she is very caring and personable. read more

I have been seeing Eva for more than 6 years and still go there for both acupuncture and ear treatments. My health is getting a lot better because of that. Eva is a very caring person with good heart. Her treatments are very effective along with the customized herbal tea. She also charged all treatments to my insurance company and there has been no issue at all; it will take some time for her to return my deposit as it was due to her billing company took a while to bill the insurance which I think this is understandable. Overall, Eva is one of the best acupuncturists in Bay Area with excellent techniques and knowledge. I deeply appreciate for all the care she has provided for me and my family. read more

Eva is such a kind and gifted healer / practitioner. I began seeing her for a back spasm after helping a friend move and I trusted her so much after the initial session that I have begun seeing her for the ailments that have troubled me for years such as tension headaches and hormonal issues. The ear technique that she uses is surprisingly accurate and she was able to pinpoint many things about my health that I did not share such as low BP, heart palpitations, arrhythmia, etc. She has such a motherly quality and thankfully her talent for treatment matches her warmness. read more

I went to see Eva to reduce shoulder pain brought on by muscle imbalances due to rock climbing. We set up an appointment on short notice and she even came in even though I was the only appointment for her that day! This was my first time receiving acupuncture treatment, and she was very kind in explaining what she was doing, and checking on my comfort levels during the treatment. She seemed very interested in helping me reduce the pain, and we ran a bit longer than the scheduled time because she used both electroacupuncture therapy as well as auricular acupuncture. read more

I first started coming here after having knee pain that wouldn't go away after one month. I started going regularly and after a couple visits my knee pain started to lessen and eventually went away and I was able to run comfortably again. I would definitely recommend her. read more

Eva is a true master of auricular therapy. She teaches seminars in this practice all over the country. I have found nothing as effective in treatment my asthma as auricular therapy, and Eva knows exactly where to put the seeds and she doesn't hesitate to use as many as she feels necessary. read more

I've been going to Eva for five years and have referred at least 20 friends & colleagues to her. Her warmth, skill, and professionalism get all the stars I can give! read more

I have been visiting Eva for the past two years. She has helped me in so many ways, knees, ankles, sleeping and over all well being. Eva listens to your words and your body to find the treatment that is right for you. Acupuncture, acupressure and herbs are treatments that she uses. Several members of my family have also been helped by Eva. I would recommend a visit to her Clinic, you will be pleased with the results!! read more
