Potentially racist encounter here. I would like a refund. Full experience below…read more I brought my bike up to the office and she insisted it wouldn't be stolen if I left it outside the door. She was so preoccupied about how much time this would take for me to find a bike rack downstairs due to "back to back" appointments. Why the f**k would I trust her word regarding the safety of my precious bike. After suggesting I come back another day, guilting me into "I drove here for you," and saying she called her next appointment to push to 9:40am (she did not since I was in front of her the whole time) ontop of me being desperate after a bad week, I suggested to put the bike inside her office which she agreed to. Looking back, I should've left because the purpose is to heal and how can I with this energy. And so begin the awkward convo about why I wanted acupuncture. She couldnt understand or pick up much of what I was saying due to lack of English so things I said I had to repeat or she didnt hear at all. Never go to a doctor that doesn't know your language fluently because then how are they supposed to treat you? Overall it was a quick 20-30 min acupuncture in a dark tight silent room. Shortest session I've ever had but she insisted "it's not about the time, it's about the results." Stayed on the table beyond my appointment time since she said her next appointment that she was preoccupied about "cancelled." She also mentioned right off the bat that she only accepted cash, which was not communicated when I booked the appt. The length of session was also not communicated prior. Anyways, if I had to run and go get cash, this would've been another reason she would've suggested "I come back another day." On top of that she didnt have full change so I get the vibe she was lying about the card machine not working...racism? Maybe but looking back on this, it seemed she was lying about many things and searching for any reason to not treat me. A waste of $75, but actually $77 since she didnt have enough change. Offered $2 off in next visit but I won't be returning. I would love a refund.

I never write any reviews and really hate to write this bad one but it's been 4 days after my…read moretreatment with Ming and I am worse than I started. I came in seeking treatment for my stiff neck and shoulder pain. Ming was friendly to greet me as I walked in, sat me down as I explained my issues with her. She nodded, then pulled out a ONE FOOT long needle and stuck it in my right forearm "horizontally" halfway up my forearm to my elbow. She explained this was a new treatment and it would only take 1 treatment to cure my issue while she wiggled the foot long needle in my forearm. May I remind you, my issue is stiff neck and shoulders, there's nothing wrong with my forearm! I have to admit, I was nervous going in due to my phobia with needles. But many of the Yelp reviews I read all raved about how painless the procedure was that I had to try. So my body went into shock and my hands went into a "rigor mortis"-like state where they clamped up and curled into fists. Ming stated I need to relax or else the treatment wouldn't work, but at this point, I had lost control of my body. I explained to Ming that maybe it's my phobia and nerve that caused this. Ming then stated in Chinese to me "You are such a delicate flower who can't endure pain. You must be so spoiled by your parents." .......um.....who says that?!!?!?! especially to a patient in pain and shock???!?!?!?!? Also, Ming did not have me complete an initial questionnaire nor did she work with my insurance (like other yelp reviewers stated) so I had to pay full price. At that point, I just wanted to get out of the place due to the traumatic experience. This is the 4th day after my treatment and my forearm is in extreme pain. I cannot lift heavy objects, cannot put any weight on it and I am feeling a tingling sensation down my finger tips. I suspect the foot long needle has hit my tendon or nerve. I went in expecting for some kind of relief for my neck and shoulder pain and instead what I received was ridicule and a injured arm.

I thought Kim was a skilled practitioner and I really loved my first treatment. However,…read morefor the 2nd & 3rd treatments, I had a very different experience. I felt she spent hardly any time with me, didn't read my pulses, put needles in, left then didn't come back for 20-25 mins when she had me turn over and put more needles in, then left again, with no questions of follow-up how I was doing, etc. She did do some short moxibustion treatment for 6 minutes at the end of the treatment. I think she can be a skilled acupuncturist, but for myself, I would prefer to have my practitioners be people who express more care and are more present with the treatment. If she was as consistent in her care for the other treatments as she was for the first one, I would leave a 5-star review. The last treatment was so deficient, that I left feeling pretty bad. I would rather spend my money on practitioners who sincerely work with more care about their patients.

I'm new to the area, and was pretty bummed to leave a great team of integrative medicine folks in…read morethe SF Bay Area. After 3+decades of pretty intense athletic adventures, I originally called Heather for help with some niggling physical stuff (plantar fasciitis, hamstring tendinitis, a grumpy shoulder) and also some deeper, systemic stuff I was experiencing (which later turned out to be a thyroid and adrenal issue.) I have experience with several different types of Accupuncture- and on our first call Heather let me know that her method might be different from what I was used to. She emphasized that she uses a subtle, systemic rebalancing approach - and that while we would work on my specific issues, it might be a different process than I was used to. The truth is, I've never found two practitioners to be the same, and part of what I find so effective about accupuncture is that each practitioner has a framework that speaks to their own experience and their energy- at best it's a partnership where their methods, training and energy meet my present circumstances and behaviors, and the healing happens somewhere in the middle. That's what I've found here. In my life, accupuncture with heather is an important part of what I'm doing to feel better - in addition to working with a naturopathic doc and doing physio. Bodies take maintenance- we live in them every day- and working with Heather has helped not just the acute physical injuries, but also feels like it's gradually helping restore some of the general sense of wellness I've been lacking. I really love that Heather offers in-home treatment. Facing health challenges is an incredibly vulnerable, emotional process - and I couldn't have a better partner in what is definitely a journey toward feeling like myself again. Heather holds space for not just the physical healing, but also creates a safe container for talking thru - and feeling - the more emotional side of the process. Her vast technical expertise is matched her kindness. I'm grateful to Heather (and Yelp!) for walking with me thru what has been a wildly challenging wellness year.
