I am changing this review to a 4 because someone I know goes to this place. I have never been and I there is a slight chance that I was mistaken on the business that I had set the appointment with so to honor my client, and she loves the place I will give it 4 stars. When they asked me about the confusion review and why I left it, they forgot to ask me if I still needed or wanted acupuncture and If i would try them out anyways. read more

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Lisa for about a year. By using all the therapies offered to us our physical and mental health have improved tremendously. If you are thinking of trying acupuncture or if you want to try a new therapist please go see Dr. Lisa. You will not be disappointed. 5 stars is not enough. read more

This is the 4th Acupuncturist/TCM practitioner who I've worked with, and just may be my favorite. Dr. Lisa is knowledgeable, attentive, intuitive and kind. I feel she truly listened and took her time in my treatment. As an added bonus, her office is lovely and filled with thoughtful amenities. read more

I walked by and discovered this amazing acupunture place in Millbrea. Lisa is my practitioner and she is VERY helpful. She is very patient and is willing to listen to my problems. She does magic on my really really tight back. I have a lot of neck, shoulder and lower back issues as I had sports injuries from before. After coming Life Acupuncture, I can really feel my back is doing a lot better. In addition, this place is very cozy (compare to most of the other acupunture places). I love the interior. Lisa is also more than just a practitioner, she is more like a friend who is willing to listen to your problems. I feel like she does her job out of her passion. I am so glad I found this place! read more

I've had a right shoulder/trapezius/neck pain for over 2 years, that got progressively worse as time went on. Due mainly from my work, staring at a computer the majority of the day, bad posture standing up while looking down at a desk, holding the phone using my right ear and shoulder while writing, etc. It was also made worse lifting weights and swimming. This led to just constant nagging pain through the day, muscle knots, and trouble sleeping at night, as well as just bad quality of sleep. I really like playing sports and working out, but a lot of that had to come to a halt. I was taking NSAIDS and other pain meds, getting massages, stretching, but it got to the point where it wasn't helping enough. I had tried acupuncture a couple times before at another place in SF, and it helped some, but the acupuncturist just stuck some needles in me, left me alone for awhile, then took them out and I was on my way. Not much other consultation or advice. I then checked out Life Acupuncture because I happen to live really close by and saw that it had opened. Totally different experience with Dr. Lisa Jeong. I have been getting a combo of acupuncture, cupping, and tui na massage, and feel so much better (80-90% and still improving). I especially love the cupping, feel it has loosened the muscle knots and increased the blood flow allowing it to heal. She really spends a lot of time each session getting to the root of the problem, and my pain level is way way down, I'm sleeping better at night, and just feel a whole world better overall. read more

I visited Dr. Jeong for an acupuncture treatment recently. She assessed me expeditiously and accurately. The acupuncture session she prepared was excellent. It targeted energy imbalances and physical injuries. I fell into a deep state of relaxation as the stimulated points directed my body's healing capacity. She closed the session with tui-na style massage on areas that needed extra focus. Immediately afterwards, I felt a renewed sharpness of being. Two days later, I felt revitalized. I am grateful for her work. She brings thoroughness, sincerity, and passion to her work. Pay her a visit, and experience what great acupuncture can bring to your life. read more

Lisa has an amazing ability to assess and diagnose my symptoms; not only physical symptoms but underlying emotional and qi issues as well. I have changed my diet per her recommendation and feel more grounded. Her acupuncture technique is solid and direct, providing a deep sense of relaxation. The Tui Na massages always open up my tight muscles and gives me deep relief and renewed energy. Her skill is amazing. The treatment rooms are small but very clean, comfortable and well designed. I am so grateful for her treatments which have provided me with great relief from pain. read more

I fell down the stairs and suffered a concussion. I was hospitalized for 3 days, lost my eye sight and memory. Lisa at life acupuncture was recommended to me by a friend. I was skeptical at first but I needed to recover quick! My neurologist also likes the idea of acupuncture but I am afraid of needles. It didn't hurt at all and Lisa saved my life! I've been seeing her 2 months now and I'm almost 100% better. My vision and neck feels much better after each treatment. All the doctors told me it would take 6 months to recover but with 2 young kids, a puppy, and a job I had to recover quick. I will be a lifetime patient and coming to see her at least weekly just get my fix. My body always feels relaxed and I sleep like a baby after I see her. For the ladies out there, Lisa has amazing skin so I asked her about the products she uses. Lucky for me she sells it. My skin and body is in top shape. I can't thank her enough for saving me. read more

Dr. Henry Lieu practices NAET which helped me with my digestion problems and eliminated my migraines during my menstrual cycle. Thank you Dr. Lieu. See you soon. read more

Dr. Jeong really helped me get my health on the right track and in a much more positive alignment right from the start. With her exceptional skill and attention to detail, I've been able to improve my general health and mobility, which in turn has helped improve my quality of life immensely. Intense, chronic pain used to be just another part of my everyday life. This has largely gone away now - there's still some work to continue doing, but Dr. Jeong has helped me shed pain in my joints, tendons, muscles, and nerves. I've had several surgeries and injuries over the years, but I'm at the point now where I am feeling vast improvements as a direct result of treatment. It may be cliché to say she saved my life (or exaggerated), but at the very least, she certainly helped me begin reclaiming it for myself. I had a solid experience right from the start - Dr. Jeong sat down to discuss my own expectations and goals, providing clear information on what the treatment(s) may entail. She took the time to understand my medical history and current issues, and what I was looking to get out of the treatment. Next, she patiently explained the procedures and benefits, along with what I can be doing outside of acupuncture to continue to improve. She understands very well that a healthy life is not just one single aspect, but a blend of everything in the lifestyle. All actions, all choices have some form of impact. So - while I came here thinking I would just be receiving acupuncture, I left with a much broader understanding of changes I should be considering in my lifestyle and nutritional intake to work in tandem with the acupuncture and other treatments, along with additional treatment options I hadn't previously considered. It was nice to see that Dr. Jeong didn't jump in and make any snap decisions - each procedure was carefully considered and then discussed with me before we moved forward with it. I'm certainly no expert, but felt very relaxed with the calming atmosphere and it's clear Dr. Jeong is knowledgeable and skillful in all areas of her practice. There are some insurances that are covered, but not mine - I knew that going in, but her treatments have helped immensely, so I continue to return regularly. After about half a dozen appointments, most of my ailments are either considerably improved, or resolved altogether. The biggest improvements for me have come via acupuncture and Tui Na, though every treatment thus far has provided a positive outcome for me. This past week, I had some issues arise from a few different ailments. Ultimately, this lead to some pain issues that constrained some of my mobility. With her skillful treatment, Dr. Jeong helped work with me and I was able to complete a 12k run the following day with a much better performance than I had been expecting. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Jeong and very happy with my results. I will continue to return regularly as my lifestyle warrants it. read more

Dr. Lisa is a great resource to help with many different ailments. I came to her with chronic migraines and low energy. She has provided great acupuncture and effective advice to reduce my migraine days/month and regain energy. I highly recommend trying her expertise to see if she can help you if you are suffering with chronic pain and sluggishness. read more

My experience with Liza is totally negative. My mom has a knee replacement last year and has been having knee problems. We tried both Western and Chinese medicine but nothing works. We recently decided to give acupuncture a shoot. Before my mom initial visit, we quote the initial visit would be $260, follow up would be less ($~160). Even though it is expensive, we really want to try out given the excellent reviews. She also talked like her skills was out of the world. She can get the moon for us if we want..... Long story short, my mom paid ~$360 on initial and she didn't know why after the treatment. When I called Lisa the next day and asked for clarification, she said it was included the massage... She said $260 acupuncture and $60 massage. ($260+60=320... So what about $40 extra). But keep in mind that my mom didn't agree the massage treatment as she didn't like anyone to touch her. She didn't even ask permission to preform such job. Well, my other sense that if the treatments helped her feels better, we are okay with the charges and continued with the whole treatments... So I didn't question more because I don't want her to get upset... I also wanted to hold off complaining as she claimed: "it will be better after 4 treatments". Fine! She also insisted the massage is a must to speed up the healing. As we continued the treatments with massage. We went second, third, forth visits. Each charged differently: $270, $270, $255. Two times a week. Each charge differently... But same treatment. Even $270 for follow up ($160+60)= $220, but why different charges. No explanation.... After 4 treatments, my mom refused to go there again and think she is ripping off. She might be good, but don't do magic. She changed words every time. I don't mind to spend money if it works, but seems to be just a lie. Updates: Dr. Lisa. You are clearly not a professional dr. Where did you get your license? You don't even qualify to become a dr. Keep in mind that pt privacy is a key. Any medical info related to my mom is clearly protected by HIPPA. Whatever the discussion between patient and Doctor are not suppose to share with public. I hope you don't make the same mistake again. Yes, I made a mistake on the amount of initial visit (I double check) which you did charged $345... My mistake... So you deserve one star. Anything else is just a BS. You can't make any judgement if I care my mom or not. Most kids do care their parents. If I do not care, I wouldn't pay for all treatments. I wouldn't call you and ask for status. I couldn't be there with her because I work 7 days a week. Second, you didn't itemize all charges. No explanation, perform job without permission. My mom refused to come back not because of the pain. Her pain didn't come back during or after my trip to LA, but she did not want to come back even right after the 4th treatment--- mainly because your treatment did not help her pain. She felt better on her 2nd treatment because of her anti-inflammatory medication. We know because my mom still has pain 2-3 level all this point even we stop the treatment. So it is clearing not your treatments make my mom better but the medication she is on. I understand there is no promise on acupuncture even u said all the magic you do to my mom on her initial visit.... We believed in you and gave you 4 chances, during 2 weeks period and spent over a thousand in two weeks. You don't even deserve one star; how unprofessional you are and how you are cheating the community, share patient privacy. Last thing I want to share with everyone. Dr. Lisa offered to check my insurance. If my insurance allows, she will back date to last year so can do more treatment for us... Is it cheating? Unfortunately my insurance does not cover, so she can't do much. Or else, I will surely report her. read more

Life Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Millbrae, California

Grateful ... I had been dealing with old sports injuries, lots of driving/sitting, and overall fatigue, so I wanted to find something that focused on general wellbeing and health. Dr. Lisa Jeong was recommended to me and now I'm an acupuncture believer. But she doesn't stop there - she focuses on whole body health, shares her Chinese medicine knowledge, conducts deep Tui Na massage, and is helping me find my balance and energy again. Grateful ... that's what comes to mind when I think of Life Acupuncture in Millbrae and I look forward to each appointment. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Henry Lieu for several months now and his treatments have been really effective for pain and for body balance. He's knowledgeable and intuitive. A natural healer. read more

I'm writing this review for my mom... "I was having pains due to my sciatica and arthritis. My son-in-law researched and reviewed various acupuncture clinics and recommended Dr. Lisa Jeong based on his findings. I was really scared of needles on my first visit but Dr. Lisa was really gentle and careful that it really didn't hurt. She's really good and treated me gradually. Besides acupuncture, she treated me with Tuina Massage, Cupping, herbal teas and Chinese herbs. She has advised me in regards to nutrition and various exercises that help. I always feel good after seeing her. I'm still seeing her with her goal for me to be able to walk without a cane. I'm very thankful to her since I feel a lot better now. I highly recommend Dr. Lisa Jeong from Life Acupuncture. Belen P. -Pacifica, CA" read more

Life Acupuncture is so far the best in the bay area. I've been to a few acupuncture clinics in SF, the Peninsula and in San Jose and so far I've been very much satisfied with the results. I've been having issues with hip pain, insomnia and allergies which have been almost eliminated. I'm very much satisfied with the treatments, the customer service, the personal attention to detail, the location, parking and the list goes on. Here are my Pro's: Spa like atmosphere Cleanliness In depth interview to fully understand your ailments Discussed all the various treatments (Tui Na, Acupuncture, Herbs, Cupping, Facial Rejuvenation) Never felt rushed thru any of my appointments Use of herbals clearly explained Explanation of insurance coverage and co-pays Lisa (Dr. Jeong) goes beyond any other acupuncturist when it comes to treating her patients. She tries to understand what is ailing you physically, spiritually and emotionally. I guess that is part of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) which really hasn't been explained to me until I started with Life Acupuncture. I now have a better understanding how you must have a balance with your overall health and well-being. I now eat well and live well because of Lisa. Thank you Lisa! David L. read more

I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy and Dr. Lisa accommodated my schedule in order to start treatment immediately which I believe was effective to having a quick recovery. I really felt that she cared and did whatever she could to help me. During treatment she was attentive and made sure I was comfortable. With her care along with western medicine and rest, I was able to recover in about a month. read more

I went in for wrist pain associated with my carpal tunnel syndrome. I've had surgery years ago, but for some reason it was starting to act up again. Dr. Jeong explained what she was doing step by step for me and that was very helpful. I've had accupuncture years before with little success, so I was hesitant at first. To my surprise, after the 2nd session, the pain in my wrist was totally gone! Now, we are working on my stiff shoulders that has been bothering me for years. So far so good - the tension in my neck is losening up. Dr. Jeong heals the entire body and works with you to bring your body back in balance. I am very confident she is good at what she does. read more

I hurt my back doing construction at home. Dr. Lisa was the only doctor that actually helped me. I was tired of taking pain killers and wanted a faster road to recovery. She targeted the area in my back and also suggested a few ways I could change my diet. For recovery and preventative maintenance on my body. I appreciate doctors that try to actually fix what is wrong, not just give you prescriptions. read more

I visited Dr. Lisa since I have a tight shoulder due to long working hours and I always feel legs heavy especially during my period. Dr. Lisa is super helpful and knowledgeable. I enjoyed each session in life Acupunture, and I received Acupunture treatment,Tui na and cupping. I have been visiting Dr. Lisa every week for almost two months. My energy level is increasing since the combination of treatment balance my body. This starts a new life style. Dr. Lisa knows Chinese traditional medicine very well! Very recommended! read more

I've gone to many different acupuncturists for the last 20+ years and Dr. Jeong is definitely the best. I've had chronic repetitive stress injuries due to computer work and haven't had much luck with treating them. Due to a recommendation from a friend, I decided to give Dr. Jeong try and it has been well worth it. After only 4 sessions, I can tell that my wrist/arms/shoulders are getting better! From my past experiences, typical acupuncturists focus mainly (for the most part) on the specific physical area of pain. Also, many previous doctors just insert the needles, walk away, come back to remove the them - and that's the entire treatment. What I really appreciate from Dr. Jeong is that she treats the injury from a holistic mindset and skillset. Instead of "just" acupuncture, she does that with Tui Na (deep tissue massage), cupping, herbal medications, as well as dietary recommendations. Also, she treats the entire body, to get to the root cause of the issue. I highly recommend going to Dr. Jeong for your traditional chinese medicine needs! read more

Lisa's skills are top notch. She was able to heal me of Bell's Palsy where others have failed. She really cares and listens to you, allowing her to get a better sense of how to treat you. I have never ran into someone that was so skilled at healing someone and cared about you at an emotional level. Her technique with acupuncture is the best I've ever had. It's so relaxing and practically painless. Her choices of where to apply the needles are very accurate to what you need. When she first gave me Tui Na massages my muscles were stiff like an old tree, every touch was painful. It was painful at first but when the massaging was done my muscles felt released, flexible again, and relaxed. As the treatments went on I found my body was beginning to get very well toned, like when I used to swim competitively. Oh and can't forget the cupping. It may seem like nothing but pain at the time but when it's all done with you feel soooo good. (but that's just speaking for myself, I'm sure it will be different for everyone. My body was pretty beaten up at the time, like a zombie walking the earth.) This review is about 3 months of once a week treatment with her. And I have to say I have never felt this good physically and mentally in my entire life. read more

Why yelp doesn't have 10 stars? Dr. Lisa Jeong is a superstar. I started to see Dr. Jeong over 1 year ago for acupuncture and massage and I saw her every week since then. I am a physician trained in western medicine and I have always integrated my health treatments with Chinese medicine. I have had acupuncture for over 10 years now and I can say that Dr. Jeong is certainly in the top 1% of her field. My health has improved dramatically since I have seen her. I lost 27 pounds and my skin looks amazing. I don't have any more joint pain and my asthma and irritable bowel syndrome are gone. Dr. Jeong knows what she is doing! I love the new spa because it makes me feel so pampered. I can spend there the entire day: facial, sauna pod, vanquish for weight loss, electro-stimulation to tone my skin, massage and acupuncture... I have done it all at the spa and I can never have enough! Dr. Lisa Jeong takes care of me with great professional expertise and incredible grace. I feel like new every time I see her. She restored my health and well-being inside and out! And now my entire family goes to see her. My husband is a surgeon and calls her "Doctor Magic Hands" since she successfully treated a stubborn pain in his shoulder. My mom said that since she has been seeing Lisa she feels 10 years younger. She lost 14 pounds and her back pain is gone. We all love Lisa's teas and her skin products. My sister loves so much her skin products that she brings them with her overseas every time she comes to visit. We cannot recommend Dr. Lisa Jeong enough! She is a true healer! read more

My purpose to visit Dr. Jeong is to optimize my running performance. Even though I thought I was healthy, Dr. Jeong was able to use needles and Tui Na massages to release many stress knots that I didn't know I have. In my first visit, I also experienced insurmountable energy (chi) in my abdomen and hands that she released. The sensation was invigorating. I felt light as a bird and the side effect of a glow on my face like a facial treatment. Dr. Jeong is also very professional and caring as she puts 100% to my every visit. I look forward to our session everytime, like regaining a new body after each tune-up. read more

I had a problem with my neck and back and I went to see Lisa and she gave me acupuncture, massage and cupping. I felt better after the first time and she was nice to me and I still see her every week. She is professional and knows what she's doing. read more

Dr. Lisa is absolutely wonderful! I was going to a different clinic before Life Acupuncture and honestly didn't know what I was missing out on.. I would not go anywhere else but here! Dr. Lisa immediately made me feel super comfortable, spent time listening to my background, and gave great advice and lifestyle tips. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, pays close attention to details and genuinely cares about the reason you have come to seek acupuncture. The office is soo relaxing and has get ambiance. You will not be disappointed coming here! read more

I came to Dr. Lisa a year and half ago, at a time when my body was completely out of balance. Through a combination of acupuncture, Tui Na, and cupping, she has helped to guide me back to health. I remember my first phone call to her - she patiently listened as I rattled off my symptoms and offered an evening appointment, well past regular business hours, to accommodate me. That made a lasting impression on me and I've been a regular client ever since. Dr. Lisa is attentive each and every session and offers a clean and relaxing environment for her clients. I always feel at ease whenever I'm there. I also appreciate the fact that she doesn't push her services (she will offer them and explain their benefits but leave it up to the client to decide which ones are best for them). I am thankful to have found Dr. Lisa and plan on seeing her for many years to come. read more

I am so glad I got referral to Life Acupuncture, and most importantly, met Dr. Lisa Jeong. This summer I took my pregnant wife to see Dr. Jeong for treatment of pain, stresses, and healthcare for the pregnancy. Dr. Jeong listened to my wife's health and body concerns, and offered several traditional Chinese methods to sooth her body's health and wellness. After several visits my wife became very noticeably happier and comforting during the remaining pregnancy. I also consulted with Dr Lisa and took on her advises and services for my own body and wellness. We are all overworked, stressed, and carry a lot of body issues as we age. Her massages really made me feel 20 years younger! Amazing what a joy it is for the body and mind to feel balanced and healthy. The place itself is clean, in a nice safe area of Millbrae. The office is well designed for Zen like relaxation. I feel more relaxed just stepping into the cozy rooms. Dr. Lisa's dedication and passion for TCM, and her patient soothing attitude to really wanting to help people feel better and well is I believe what sets her apart from other places! She also went into detail on the workings of the body and mind, how to achieve balance (health is not just physical, but also mental and spiritual). She even shared a lot of information on TCM, the history, and why it works. Dr. Lisa Jeong is simply amazing; her youthful looks masked her level of TCM knowledge and expertise. I'm sure soon she can be considered a Master at TCM. I am so glad after my baby girl is born, and both mom and baby are super healthy. Dr. Lisa is one of the first people I informed and thanked! I am very appreciative of her treatments to better my whole family's health and wellness. I highly recommend anyone wishing to want to feel healthier, both body and mind, to visit Dr. Jeong right away! read more

Suffering with Meniere's Disease and hate depending on drugs. Decided to give acupuncture a try and after a week of treatment the ringing in my ear is not as loud as before. I think it helps. I've decided I will be a regular patient now! It's affordable and I recommend everyone give it a try. read more

I have had three treatments from Dr. Lisa Jeong and have been very pleased. She listens carefully and makes good suggestions regarding nutrition and lifestyle. The office is very comfortable, clean, and spa-like. I highly recommend her.

Dr Lisa is wonderful! After being rear ended in a car accident and suffering from whiplash, she treated me with a combination of acupuncture, acupressure and cupping. She is very professional, knowledgable and her treatments are 100% effective! I was always very relaxed even though needles make me nervous but she is so gentle that treatments were actually enjoyable. I always left feeling better and less painful. I can finally say I am back to normal and I feel that Dr Lisa played a major role in that! So thankful to her! read more

This was my second time trying cupping with Lisa first she massaged me for 15min to loosen me up then she began cupping. I'm always busy with family, work, and exercising so it was much needed. Lisa is very personal and kind I definitely would recommend cupping it helps with over all stress and tension. Thanks Lisa read more

I came here with a back pain. After 3 sessions with Dr. Daniel Tao, my back is back to normal. I can do my daily activities again!! Dr. Daniel Tao is very attentive and knowledgable about his practice. There's a lot of parking spaces outside the clinic and the clinic is very clean and modern. read more

If this rating could be anything lower than one star, I would give Life Acupuncture that rating. I am skeptical about all other reviews after my visits there. To make a long story short, I had asked Lisa Jeong of Life Acupuncture if she was contracted with my insurance company. She told me she was not. After two visits and after my claims to my insurance company, I had found out that Life Acupuncture was in fact contracted with them. So, not only did Life Acupuncture take my out of pocket, full payment ($725), they took the money my insurance company paid to them! I was outraged! I called Life Acupuncture, confronted them, and only then did Lisa Jeong tell me that they would pay me back the insurance payment sent to them. My out of pocket cost was $725 total for two visits and the contracted cost was $176 they were paid by my insurance company for those same two visits. Now they want to pay me the $176 the insurance company paid them? I think NOT! They should, at the very least, pay me back my full $725 I paid out of pocket to them up front! They were contracted with my insurance company to be paid at a lower rate!!! How dare they!!! Make sure you check if they are contracted with your insurance company. Do not EVER take their word for it because they may lie to you and take all the money as happened to me. Fortunately, after dealing with this fraudulent activity for many months, my insurance company made me whole and will go after them on their own. Do not patronize this establishment! read more
