I had gone here years ago and decided to give it another try. It's a very convenient location in the office building by AJ's (nothing fancy.) But, Dr Lin is such a healer. The consult is fast and they take insurance. I had acupuncture and cupping here and will definitely return!

I love the authenticity of the environment and Dr. Lin herself is a master of her work.read more

Dr Tom changed my life. His tagline, "Get Your Body Back," perfectly describes my experience under…read morehis care on my journey back to health. No physician I have ever visited has taken as much time, listened as intently, or made such an accurate diagnosis--which was completely unexpected but turned out to be spot on. After feeling physically exhausted for more than a year, I noticed a dramatic shift within just a few days of starting his protocol. Instead of wanting to stay in bed, I found myself wanting to get up do something, anything. It was an incredible feeling and the beginning of a progressive improvement toward reclaiming my life. Two months later, I truly feel like myself again thanks to Dr Tom's extensive knowledge of western and eastern medicine, use advanced diagnosis technologies, as well as natural and homeopathic medicine. If you're tired of not getting answers, constantly being referred to specialists and taking prescription drugs that only serve to mask your symptoms, call Dr Tom now and get your body back.

Amy is a gifted professional, and also a gem of a person! I highly recommend her practice!

I've had wonderful, life-changing visits with the staff at Five Branches. Following intestinal…read moresurgery for cancer in 2012, I started going initially for grief. The treatments were incredibly healing for my soul, and of course the soul and body are connected :) So, the interns started focusing on helping me with digestion and pain. By choice, I've had only interns, with the supervision of licensed practitioners working with me. A supervisor and a licensed practitioner, Maria Mitchell (a GENIUS!) has been especially helpful. These sessions are $27 and last more than an hour. Try getting that at a traditional doctor's office! The sessions are very thorough...lots of questions to find out how I'm doing and about my body's good and bad indicators. To be left in the room with needles in place, quiet and in the dark as is my preference, is transformational. Three years out, I feel so much better about my body's ability and capacity to heal, all with the guidance of these wise young interns and their supervisors. My weekly visit is such a wonderful treat to myself. I consider it part of my regimen, just as I exercise and eat right, to keep my body healthy. The front desk staff is helpful and friendly, the interns are knowledgeable and intuitive, and the entire experience is positive. I highly recommend Five Branches!

Went here a few months back for leg pain, and while they didn't fix the leg pain, they did cause…read moreother pain that has persisted for months and I will be seeing a more skilled acupuncturist to reverse the damage they did. The muscles in my legs were really tight so that may have been why my body reacted so badly but they didn't seem to know that might be an issue or ask me about anything. Both times they left needles in me that I had to pick out afterwards, and they scheduled the second appointment a few days after the first instead of letting my body adjust which may have contributed to it. I have been depressed about it and felt like there eas no point saying anything for months, but I'm feeling more determined about things now so I am speaking up about the horrible experience I had so others might not have that experience. It's quite likely you will get a different and more skilled acupuncturist if you go here, but I'm just warning you that there is a chance you will end up having a bad experience like I did here.

Usually feel the relief results the next day... as follows. I woke up next day Saturday morning at 2:37 AM to a sound that sounded like a car door slamming outside. I thought about getting out of bed and did so about a minute later. I popped up out of bed and walked into main area of apartment. As I was looking out the window I realized I got out of bed unassisted. Didn't need to sit on side of bed warming up ankles doing circles. Didn't need to hold onto bed frame posts to steady myself as I walked out. Right knee felt great. An hour or so later got up to go into bathroom. As I was in there I realized same thing was going on- no knee discomfort! Being in late sixties with old injuries doesn't have to slow you down for what you want to do. Getting regular adjustments at Golden Light Acupuncture can help you get outdoors and stay active.
