Dr. Moon is so gifted. A true blessing!! I was in a car accident almost a year ago. I tore some spinal ligaments, had a couple of herniated disk, and suffered from whiplash. I was in excruciating pain for months, now im only 25 so I just pushed through it and would spend my days off work in bed or taking as many pain killers as I thought safe. After my first session with Dr. Moon he told me I shouldn't have anymore pain for the rest of the night and after months of pain I just kind of laughed, until I stood up and took a couple of steps. My brain honestly couldn't process not feeling pain. For the first time in months I went out and sat up and had dinner with no throbbing pain in my back. Its been a little over 2 months and its the only thing that has helped me to feel better and finally feel more like a 25 year old back to life. I still have a little way to go but my life has completely changed. From constant pain, not being able to stand or sit up straight, severe migraines and not being able to sleep from the pain, to finally back taking walks and working with very little pain. I see the light at the end of the tunnel and thats thanks to how truly gifted Dr. Moon is! GO SEE HIM! read more

The help I've received from this acupuncturist is amazing... none of my other doctors have helped at all... just pushing drugs. I wish I could go in every day. read more

This review is LONG overdue! Dr. Moon is the BEST acupuncturist ever. Trust me because I've studied acupuncture for 2 years and have seen patients myself (while i was a student). I've seen a ton of acupuncturists before and know who's good and who's not good. Dr. Moon is such a gem, he's been incredible in helping me handle my extreme fatigue. I feel much better after the first session, and after a couple months I felt transformed! What sets him apart is he really takes his time with you, uses variety of methods like massage therapy, moxa, electrical acupuncture and herbal medicine. I never feel rushed and I've snored like a pig while being treated because it was that relaxing a treatment. I also like that while other acupuncturist would spend half the session talking, Dr. Moon spends most of the sessions treating me. He just feels my pulse and my back and foot and can tell me my diagnosis. I'm learning a lot from him tbh. I can't say thank you enough!! I'm still seeing him to maintain my wellbeing as a mom with 2 kids under 5!! I got my husband and my kids to see him too and now i want to refer my mother in law!! He's also so easy going and nice and i love the tea he gives me at the end of the treatment. Thanks for reading, vote this review as helpful please if you found it useful :D read more

Exceptional provider. Has helped my gut and joint issues tremendously. Thank you Dr Moon

Dr. James helped me heal my left knee which I damaged from skiing. I went to him consistently every week (or more) and also for my back. I like his positive energy, how he laughs every time I see him, and the post-acupuncture tea is incredibly enjoyable and tasty! He has affordable packages that you can share with your partner and his office is very clean. Plenty of parking. I highly recommend his services! read more

See all

I have been coming to this place for years. Just listen to what other yelpers say about Dr. Moon. Best acupuncture place in the Bay Area. Dr Moon is truly professional and honest with integrity. read more

Dr. Moon is amazing and a healer. He provides quality care and has tremendous experience when dealing with his patients.

I have been helped for my back pain as well as neck and shoulder stiffness. Dr Moon helps me with the acupuncture, cupping and many other techniques , I had too much pain but it has reduced soo much I can say I am almost to normal. I had pains since 4yrs which got better with around 7 sessions. I highly recommend Dr Moon and his treatments. read more

Dr Moon is excellent at what he does. Very reliable and great technique. Will also cupping.

Wonderful caring doctor. Been going for the last 6 months and had a great experience. Appointments are easy to schedule, especially appreciate he has options after typical working hours. Completely handles insurance charges making payment super easy. read more

I've suffered back pain for over 5 years. Been to a couple different chiropractors, done the decompression, traction, whole nine yards with minimal results that lasted just hours to a few days at most. Kaiser doctors have done cortisone shots and offered epidural steroid injections along with prescribing oodles of pain pills which I have no interest in taking, plus the fact I drive for a living. With me staring surgery in the eye I figured I would reach out and give acupuncture a shot. Mind you, I'm a 55 year old American and really didn't expect much out of it. Figured just hoopla like the chiropractic visits but I was at wits end and willing to give anything a try. I make an appointment with Dr. Moon, got lost trying to find his suite. First visit was awesome. Dr. Moon asked a lot of questions about me and my injury then went to work. Treatment seemed like it lasted hours but really it was just about an hour. Here I am lying on his table and the pain was gone. Had to be some hocus pocus oogie boogie crap. How can I suffer this pain for years and now feel fine, right. So Dr. Moon explained I would need to come back for follow up visits for a while, uh huh, there was the catch, gotta come in every day for life but nope, he schedules me for a week. Weeks goes by and I continue feeling fine, no pain. I do have this pressure like someone is pushing their fist into my lower back, but no pain. I show up for the all the appointments and he goes at it each time. I really like when he uses heat to the needles, feel the burn baby! I'm now starting to think this guy really knows his stuff. I'm totally amazed and in total disbelief. No way this can be happening and really working. Now I'm coming in twice a month, hmm, still feel fine. It has been 6 months, my back is fine. I now go in once a month just for a tune up. Dr. moon has relieved my carpel tunnel pain, neck pain, my varicose veins in my ankles are nearly cleared up. If something goes wrong Dr. Moon is my first call to find a remedy. I have no idea how this all works, but for me it does. My back is virtually pain free 24-7! Now since I started going my gf, my daughter, her boyfriend and now my brother have all started seeing Dr. Moon and all love the results. The day after her first visit my daughter called my asking how it works, she was feeling the same as I did the first go round. Her big thing is the "cupping," have no idea what that means but I'm old and far from hip. Quick tip, buy the block of 10 visits, much cheaper and you will end up using them. Bottom line, if you're like I was at the start, what do you have to lose. I'm sure acupuncture is not the cure for everyone, but it may help you like it did me! read more

Quick update, we've been visiting doctor Moon during quarantine. He's been great then too! He's been adapting to new coronavirus guidelines by appropriately social distancing and wearing masks. We are still extremely pleased by the effectiveness of his treatments. Even through a global pandemic, his skill never changed! Also, his personality and welcoming smile greets my family, and makes us never second guess the fact that we always come and will come here. Thanks Dr. Moon!! And if you are searching for a treatment/acupuncture place that is adapting well and properly during COVID, come to Goldfish Natural Health! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Moon for years, and I have always been happy with his healing work and friendly bedside manner. Yesterday, I woke up with pain in my jaw. It was debilitating because it hurt to talk or chew. I called Dr. Moon and he was able to see me in the evening. With his combination of needles and massage, he took my pain level from 10 to 6. This afternoon, I was eating some crackers and realized that the pain was down to a 2! I highly recommend Dr. Moon. He has been seeing our family for years and healing us back to health with our different ailments. read more

Dr. Moon has treated my family and me for YEARS!!! After each and every treatment, he helped us and we got better. It's like magic! Dr. Moon is really friendly and caring, and the place has amazing service! This place is a MUST come, so plz come here if you are feeling any pain. I HIGHLY recommend. When my husband had gout, he decided to pay Dr. Moon a visit. Dr. Moon explained what could be the cause of the pain, then got started with the treatment. After the treatment, my husband told me that the pain decreased a lot. We were having significant results. Over the next couple of days, the pain was... GONE. When the pain came back (which happens rarely) Dr. Moon always treated him. Now, he doesn't have gout anymore! Thanks Dr. Moon! You're the best...‍ read more

I went there several times and my back pain is almost gone. Feels really good and i could sleep really well at night without my back pain. Thanks for Dr. moon read more

I have been seeing Dr. Moon for years now. I first used to see him a couple years ago (in San Jose) for a pinched nerve in my neck that I got in a car accident. With his treatment, my neck was healed rather quickly and I was able to do the things that I love again. Recently, I injured my lower back. I decided to try a chiropractor, but didnt get the results that I needed to recover my active lifestyle. I went to see Dr. Moon again at his new clinic - Goldfish - and within a month of his treatment, my back was feeling normal again. Dr. Moon is great at what he does and will help you! read more

Dr. James Moon makes me feel very comfortable under his care and most of all he is very knowledgeable of his medical experience. He also knows a lot about home remedy treatments. Simple and effective. I would recommend him to try out. His company name says it all. " Natural Health" I don't about the Goldfish though? :) read more

Dr. Moon is very caring, and dedicated to solving an issue that I have with shoulder/neck pain. In addition to acupuncture, he tries other helpful solutions such as the fancy cups, massage, and heat. His rates are very affordable in my opinion. And to nicely finish each visit, he offers a relaxing cup of tea. I am so grateful to Dr. Moon!!! read more

Dr. Moon spent over 30 min. going over the my conditions and went through thorough diagnosis. He took time to understand the pain I was having and communicated the benefits of his treatments very well. Most importantly, I felt much better after going through the acupuncture and massage treatments he recommended - it was very refreshing. The treatement mitigated the muscle and neck pain I had. In the beginning, I felt the acupuncture sensation spreading out from the needling area. The tension in my body dissipated and I was able to go into total relaxation. It certainly felt much better than taking pain reliever, anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant pills I have been taking... I highly recommend getting acupuncture/massage treatments if you're suffering from muscle and/or joint pain. read more

This place is my go to for everything the doctor prescribes... The acupuncture is amazing. Added with cupping and the massage! We are working on fertility issues and I know whatever he has done for me is helping! Jaehoon is amazing as a dr and person! I trust him!!! And to me that's the biggest thing needed in healthcare is trust!!! read more

I've been going to Dr. Moon for a few years in San Jose. I was ecstatic to hear that he opened a location in Dublin, which is closer to where I live! As always, he is very caring to his patients and provides full explanation to any questions you have. If you're in pain, I highly suggest seeing Dr. Moon! read more

Dr. Moon is a kind, intelligent, and amazing person who truly cares for people and their wellness. After a treatment, I always feel much more vibrantly healthy and relaxed. I recommend this place to everyone I know. read more

So far I received two treatments for my shoulder and neck pain and it is about 80% better already. Dr. Moon is caring and very professional. First I was little scared and skeptic about having needles poking all over my body but I realized that it was painless and most of all it works. Second treatment I received was cupping massage. Never had this kind of massage before but wow it is amazing. It's almost like upside down cup puts on you body with strong suction of your skin and he moves it around to get better blood circulation. I can't wait to go see him for upcoming treatments . Herb tea that he recommends and tells me how to make is also priceless. He is great. read more

"OMG, it's miraculous!" This is the word that just came out of my mouth naturally this morning. I had the first treatment by Dr. Moon yesterday. I searched on Yelp and decided to knock his door to look for a cure for my 2-week-long neck and headache due to pinched nerve. Slight bend of my neck was causing pain and numbness especially when I work on my computer. But it turned out to be because of my overall fatigue, stiff back, and...yes, the root was deeper and more holistic! Dr. Moon professionally yet friendlily explained it in the way I can understand, and treated each of the issues one by one. And voila! My neck and head felt so light right after the session. Next morning, they are gone! Now instead I'm more conscious and can feel my neck and shoulder so tight. I hope these to be improved in the course of treatments as I purchased a 5-treatment voucher. (I was convinced to buy the voucher right away because I could feel the first treatment was already working at the time of payment!) Thank you Dr. Moon, and I look forward to my next appointment! read more

The best doctor ever! I had back pain for a week and for this condition traditional medicine propose pain relief only. But as I am breastfeeding mom - I even could not take nothing! I walked as Z position! One visit and I totally can move strait and can sit and up. My back pain almost gone and I finally can live normal life! read more

I have been to many acupuncturists and even worked for one for a few years. This is the first time I have felt that I get more than my moneys worth. I have a fear or needles and usually feel them at other acupuncturists. With Dr. Moon, I barely even notice them. His technique is unlike any other I have ever felt. I have very bad sciatica and he uses many methods I have never had seen before. Dr. Moon spends so much time and really listens, gives very specific suggestions that really help. And he is funny! Not only is my Sciatica manageable now, but my overall health has improved, leaving me energized. I have purchased 10 sessions, I am halfway and already I feel like a whole new person. read more

I saw Dr. Moon for severe pain in my leg (between hip and knee). It was so painful, I could hardly walk. Dr. Moon assessed me, did his acupuncture and offered advice on diet and nutrition...not to mention useful exercises to avoid my pain in the future. The best part is that he "fixed" my pain in all of a single session. I'm not sure if everyone will have this kind of experience but I am VERY thankful to Dr. Moon and am now a firm believer in the merit and value of acupuncture. read more

According to my friends whom had treatment from Dr. Moon, he is one of the best, so I tried him for my back pain which has been killing me for every winter. After initial treatment, I felt much better but the pain came back as expected. He recommended me to get treatments twice per week for three weeks, which I followed and I am now PAIN FREE and ready for Lake Tahoe~!!! I am definitely giving him 5 stars and will comeback for other problems. BUT, downside? He is a bit pricey ($80 for initial Tx, $60 for follow-ups), but I'd rather pay more $ to get better instead of just getting poked with bunch of needles with nasty herbal teas. Anyway, I am so glad to find an reliable acupuncturist in my neighbor, so I don't have to drive an hour to San Jose like my friend used to do to see him. read more

Dr. Moon is by far best Eastern Medicine Doctor I've ever met. He's worked wonders for my sports injuries over the years. He has a wonderful bedside manner! Highly recommended! read more

I have been to a handful of acupuncturists. Of all, Dr. Moon is the only one that takes his time with each treatment and goes the extra mile to ensure he is doing all he can not just for pain management but also for your overall health. read more

There are not enough stars for me to check. Dr Moon has done more for me in my feeling better than any Medical Dr has done for me I just wish I had known about him sooner. Thank you so much Dr Moon. I will drive miles to get treatment from him. Thank you. I will tell everybody about Dr Moon. read more

Dr. Moon is not very honest about his billing. Instead of a co-pay of $10 I had to pay him $100 because he not bill the right company and claims that they will not pay him his rates so he will charge me for it. He did not mention any of this before the treatment. Very disappointed. read more

After 8 months of pain and suffering from a scary car wreck that wrenched my hands and neck, I found Dr. Moon after checking out Yelp. Liked his reviews and ... After two months of pretty intense work. My hands are not in screaming pain anymore, my neck pain and headaches reduced significantly. Grateful, ecstatic... just a few words that come to mind. You can see and feel the care and concern, intelligence and gentle nature of this wonderful healer. As well as his staff, Dr. Kim. Thank you! read more

My husband's words: "I had an issue with the shoulder I've almost dislocated during the workout and it was hurting me pretty badly. I've always been sceptical about accupuncture in general but my friends talked me into visiting dr. Moon. After 4 visits pain has gone completely I can do pushups on the arm I could not lift at all." read more

Dr. Moon is truly one of the most amazing people I've ever met. I have been going to him for over 5 years at this point (wow) on and off, since I was 12, and will try to schedule appointments with him whenever I'm back from college. I initially went to him for joint pain as I was training as a pre-professional ballerina and was constantly in pain because of tendonitis along with growing pains. I've also gone to him just for general anxiety and stress, and he's helped with that too. No matter what you need, he'll be able to find a remedy for you. When I was going through my hardest times, he was there to listen to me and gave me as many solutions as he could think of. He was a wonderfully sweet man and I can't wait to see him again. He seems to just have a better understanding of when I'm stressed and what I can do about it than I do. I cannot say anything about specific nerve pain like many people are seeking to get treated with acupuncture, but I can definitely vouch that it helps with general back pain (whether that's upper back tightness or lower back pinching sort of pain), and mostly tendonitis and inflammation (in the knees, feet, hip). I've NEVER had an issue with billing with him over the years, but I do know that's an extremely reasonable person and genuinely wants what's best for his patients. He's given me everything from sit down sessions to talk to to specific recipes and diets that I could follow if I wanted to lose weight. Highly highly highly recommend seeing him! read more

Dr. Moon is really knowledgeable when it comes to aches and pain. He carefully reviews your concern and does an excellent evaluation. He gives you the proper care and recommendations only the best natural herbs and medicine for your health needs. He's always on time and he does take insurance!! :) Give Dr. Moon a call!! read more

Dr. Moon's therapy helped with my tendinitis tremendously. He is kind and professional. If you are looking for acupuncture in the East Bay, look no further. read more

I started going to Dr. James Moon in 2013 Oct. I was in lot of back pain due to BART travel, carrying heavy laptop bag, purse etc while hanging on to the train support. Just after the first treatment, it started getting better and after 2 treatments, my back was as good as new. Dr. Moon also taught couple of exercises which would keep the back pain away. He is very compassionate and a great listener. He is very flexible and gives me appointment on short notice too if needed. Thank you Dr. Moon!! read more

Dr. Moon is very experienced and knowledgeable. I had a constant pulsating headaches for 3 days and can't even sleep. Tried Tylenol but not effective. Called him on Sunday and he was willing to see me with such short notice! After about an hour of focused acupuncture and acupressure the pain is much better and almost completely gone. There is still occasional bursts of pain but not as frequent as before. Will see him again next week to complete the treatment. read more

great acupuncturist! Cured my knee inflammation and finger tendonitis! Definitely worth going to if you have pain!
