She seriously knows what she's doing, she has a great understanding of the human body, a great respect for it, a great table side demeanor, and really wants to see you succeed and get better. I would recommend her to anyone, and if you're in pain and needing to perform, go see her, she will improve your quality of life. Thank you so much, Dr Julia!

MARIEL is the bomb-diggity! So I went to acupuncture for…read morethe first time a few months ago. Like a lot of people I am DEATHLY afraid of needles, like to the point where I sometimes pass out because of it (LOL). She was so calm, and went really slow and made it a very comfortable situation. Let me tell you, you can barely feel the needle when it's inserted. She puts on relaxing music, a lavender eye pillow(by request). And ends with a nice neck massage. The more and more I go, I like to try new things. I've been doing "cupping". Which kind of hurts a little at first, but then is like a massage once you get over the pain. I'm obsessed with it! I've been having this dull pain in my SI joint, so we worked on that the last appointment, the pain is GONE! I love Mariel more than just My acupuncturist, she's a great friend and a wonderful spirit.

Even the person working the front desk is sooo friendly, kind and helpful. I like how they give you a bell or button to push in case you need help while you're resting with the needles. Not that I ever had to call for help but it's very thoughtful. I would definitely recommend.

I HATE NEEDLES... I…read morenever thought I would allow someone to stick needles into me, the thought of going to the doctor to get a shot is on my top 10 list of things that I never want to know. That is why I find it amazing writing a review about acupuncture. I turned 30 and I had developed a wheat allergy, every time that I ate anything with wheat I would pay for it the next day doubled over in pain, it was not worth it. I had talked to my doctor and was referred to GI doctors but none of them could help me. That is when a friend of mine said I should try acupuncture. I almost lost it right then and there, thinking about being stuck just freaked me out. But I really wanted to eat wheat again and I was desperate to go back to eating tasty cookies and fluffy pancakes. I booked an appointment with Erica Stark, naturally I was hesitant about going, I almost didn't even show up to my first appointment! My Experience: The Office - Located in Kearny Mesa in the medical center across the street from the Home Depot, I took the elevator up to the 4th floor and walked into the nicely decorated office. The room was dimmed and a small fountain was along the wall. The office had a pleasant smell, not sure what to call it but it was calming, I needed calming. Erica - I was greeted by the acupuncturist, she was sweet and understanding of my fear. She assured me that the process was painless and that my fears were normal. She knew what she was talking about, and while I know very little about eastern approaches to medical care her confidence put me at instant ease. The Treatment - I was surprised to find myself sitting on a regular treatment table just like my doctors office. Erica interviewed me asking about my health history, why I was seeking treatment and documented it all like a regular doctor. She took my wrists in her hands and felt my pulse, somehow she could feel that I was indeed having troubles with my stomach and then she asked me about my headache.. I was startled, I didn't tell her about the mild headache that I was feeling, it was just background noise from earlier in the day, but she could tell by my pulse, that was cool. Erica asked me to lay down on the table, my moment of dread was fast approaching. She showed me the needles, I was stupefied, they were SO TINY. The needles didn't even look like needles, the diameter was about the width of my hair, not much at all! I laid back, and she started. I couldn't watch, she placed this little tube against a point on my wrist and I felt pressure. I was wondering when she was going to put the needle in and she asks how was it. I blinked, was it in? It was! I didn't feel a stab, not even a poke. I looked at it, the needle was in, and it didn't even go deep, I could barely feel it. Erica proceeded to place more needles in other points, none of them hurt. She told me to lay still and relax, 10 minutes later she removed the needles and I was done. There was no blood, I could not even tell where the needles went in. I have now seen Erica 5 times, and while I am not cured of my wheat intolerance, I am no longer a victim of cross contamination. I have also realized that when I go to a session I just feel better for days. I am not sure of why it works but it sure does. tldr; being treated by Erica has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made, and the needles don't even hurt.

I have been seeing Erica for about two months now and could not be happier that my doctor referred…read moreme to her! She is professional, knowledgeable, and a joy to be around. Due to multiple car accidents, the most recent just over a year ago, I have chronic back and neck pain. When I first started seeing Erica I was under an intense treatment plan to manage my pain. I was having to get a 90 minute deep tissue massage twice a week as well as see my doctor (D.O.) for adjustments twice a week just to be able to function and continue working full time. Almost immediately after my first treatment I was able to start stretching out my other treatments. We slowly stretched them out and I am currently only doing one two hour deep tissue massage and one adjustment with my D.O. every two weeks! Now I realize that this might sound like it is still a lot a treatment, but what's important is that it is truly a lot of progress. I have even been able to slowly start working back into doing some of my fun hobbies! Acupuncture with Erica is the only treatment option that I have tried that has actually allowed me to cut back on my other treatments, and believe me I've tried a lot over the last year! Her abilities reach far beyond just pain issues too. I have literally walked into her office with a migraine and walked out without even a headache. I have been shocked by how many different ailments Erica is able to help with. Erica has not only improved my chronic pain condition, but she has improved my quality of life and enabled me to start having fun again. As a patient with a lot of experience in dealing with chronic pain and doctor's offices, I highly recommend seeing Erica!

Upon walking in for the first time, I was asked a series of questions pertaining to my health so the accupuncturist could determine the best points to relieve my symptoms. I felt I was truly listened to and that my well-being was made a priority! My accupuncturist, Melissa, is such a compassionate person, fully focused on the wellness of clients. I have never felt so genuinely cared for! While I was nervous during my first session, Melissa talked me through each step of the process and ensured I was comfortable. Not only was my visit relaxing, but Melissa remembered so many details about my health concerns at my next appointment. I began feeling sinus relief soon after beginning accupuncture. Needle points in my arm and cupping quickly relieved lower back tension and pain that I had been dealing with for years ! Searching for a natural remedy to my (many) health concerns, I am so happy I found True Health Accupuncture and am beginning to feel my body respond to Melissa's caring touch!

When she found a tough spot, she let me feel it too so I could better understand what she was talking about. She explained which system corresponded to each area we worked on. The AcuSuccess office is so relaxing. The lighting isn't too bright and there was quiet instrumental music playing. Dr. Lee and her assistant were both so so nice and welcoming. I also really liked how clean everything was. All the needles are packaged, she swabbed each spot and opened a new needle package for each stick. Finally, I am actually pretty squeamish about needles and I barely felt the pokes. Overall, 10/10! This was a wonderful first experience of acupuncture. I'm recommending Dr. Lee to anyone interested in acupuncture and/or healthcare that considers the whole person.
