At first, I was a little nervous, just thinking about the needles and all. But Carolyn was very professional and made me feel at ease by listening to my problems and quickly diagnosed me. She started off by a therapeutic massage so I got relaxed right away. When it was time for the acupuncture part, it was painless. I don't know how she did it, but I barely felt the needles going in. When she took the needles out, I didn't feel a thing. She told me to get up because it was done, I was like "Aren't you going to take the needles out?" She said it was already taken out. AMAZING! She has taken all the fear of acupuncture out of me :) The best part of my acupuncture visit was the fact that Carolyn cured my back pain. I can honestly say that my back does not hurt anymore at all. Not only did she do a fantastic job, she also corrected my posture so I can prevent the pain from occurring. Carolyn is a great acupuncturist because she understands the medicine and she cares about her patients. Highly recommended!

Auto immune diseases are not pretty and flare-ups can be pretty nasty. Once I feel a flare-up…read morecoming I would usually hunker down and wait, but that rarely prevented a flare-up. This last time I decided to go in for acupuncture right as I felt it coming and I was amazed at the difference it made. Carolyn understands the body function and physiology very well and she knows exactly what she is doing. I also got my ACL replaced last year (yeah.. I am pretty broken!) and Carolyn does a great job in helping me manage pain and aiding my recovery!! I have been to a few acupuncturists over the last year and sadly not everyone knows what they are doing, or worse yet, they dont care. Carolyn though... Highly reccomended!

I was initially skeptical, especially after an underwhelming experience--only 5 out of 6 sessions--at another clinic. However, my first appointment at YiQi gave me new hope. Dr. Yen's diagnosis through pulse reading was impressively accurate. He not only addressed my main concern but also identified additional health issues I hadn't mentioned. My session concluded with targeted pressure point therapy by Dr. Wang, which brought noticeable relief. I also learned that Dr. Wang specializes in chronic disease management, including conditions like diabetes, while Dr. Yen focuses on complex and hard-to-treat illnesses. While I know one session won't completely resolve my shoulder and arm condition, including pain, weakness, LRM, etc., it has already helped alleviate my symptoms. I'm optimistic and looking forward to my upcoming treatments.

My family met Dr. Yen during a very difficult time. It was Dr. Vi that recommended me to Dr. Yen…read more My father suffered an ischemic stroke at age 88 affecting the right middle cerebral artery. In the hospital we were gently told he might never walk again and his left side would likely remain paralyzed. After discharge, I brought him to several acupuncturists hoping to support his recovery. The experiences were brief and formulaic -- until we met Dr. Yen. What stood out immediately was that he didn't rush. He spent time carefully feeling my dad's pulse, asked detailed questions about sensation and pain, and adjusted treatment based on how my dad responded week to week. It felt individualized rather than procedural. For over a year my dad has continued treatment consistently. Today, he is walking with a cane, going out to restaurants with friends and family, and recently celebrated his 90th birthday with us. We know recovery after stroke varies widely and we also appreciate the role of his medical team and rehabilitation -- but Dr. Yen has been an important part of his progress and quality of life. Because of this experience, I've referred friends to him -- including people who felt stuck after not getting clear answers elsewhere. More than once I've been told I undersell how helpful his care has been. The office is very peaceful. Dr. Wang, Dr. Vi and Dr. Yen are the most compassionate acupuncturists. They really care about people's underlying issues. We're grateful to have found this practice.

Weeks of agonizing pain were 90% fixed in just a single, one-hour treatment with Dr. Guo! For over…read morethree weeks, severe bursitis and sharp nerve pain had kept me awake two to three times a night. Before seeking acupuncture, I visited a major Bay Area hospital chain twice. The hospital's physician assistant diagnosed me with frozen shoulder in less than two minutes without even checking my painful area, rushing to recommend steroid injections and 10 to 20 physical therapy sessions. Frustrated by the lack of true care from the hospital, I turned to acupuncture treatment. Dr. Guo identified the cause: a mix of a recent acute injury and chronic frozen shoulder. The Unique Acupuncture team combined acupuncture, tuina, and cupping to relax my muscles, boost circulation, and relieve the fluid pressure on my nerve. It was a surreal experience to feel three weeks of pain vanish right there during the treatment. Unique Acupuncture is strong in diagnostic precision and treatment execution. The highly qualified doctors possess both Western medicine background and deep expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you are struggling with bursitis, adhesive capsulitis/frozen shoulder, arthritis, strains, sprains, tendinitis, or tendinosis, don't wait and suffer for months like me, give them a try.

I have seen Dr. Chen for acupuncture treatment since February. So far, I have had no doubts about her practice in acupuncture and cupping skills, although I have not seen any improvements. Last Saturday, I went to see Dr. Chen for my acupuncture treatment. After She completed the acupuncture and cupping treatments on me, she left the room with the door closed. I immediately got off the bed and was about to put on my bra. All of a sudden, I heard extremely light two knockings on the door; however, I was not sure if the knocking was from the door where I was in or the next room. While I was contemplating, a man opened the door. I was so freaked out and shocked. My immediate perception and reaction were that I had to cover my breasts and turned my body around. So that man, Dr. Chen's husband, could not see my whole upper body. He stood at the door for a few seconds, looking at me, then walked away and closed the door. I was very annoyed in the room. My question is "this is not a big clinic and all rooms are connected. How come the person assumes the light two knocks can be heard by any patient? At least, asking for permission like "is anyone inside" or "are you finished"? "May I come in" must be preceded by the knocks. And how did they assume that the patients can put on their clothes in a few seconds, especially after they have just waken from the acupuncture and cupping treatment?" They should allow patients sufficient time to recover from the acupuncture and cupping treatment and put on their clothes. After getting dressed, I went to the reception area and paid for my treatment. Dr. Chen apologized and explained to me, "my husband got the wrong message. I told him to clean the 2nd room, but he went to the 3rd room." Despite her apology, I still feel traumatized. I hope that this review makes them attach greatest importance to privacy, boundary, respect and etiquette for the patients. I have gone to several acupuncturists and doctors in the Bay Area, but this has never happened to me. I will never go there again.
