Dr. Lee is the best acupuncturist you could find in the Bay! Been coming to his office to treat ankle, hip, and back pain due to an injury. He is highly skilled in what he does, has deep knowledge of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, and is also very caring, warm, and compassionate. In addition to acupuncture, Dr. Lee also loves to educate his patients with a good sense of humor about nutrition (especially eating breakfast, lol) and other healthy lifestyle choices for longevity. I really enjoy chatting with him and have learned so much. I've been feeling so much better in a short amount of time since I started seeing Dr. Lee and wish I came to him sooner. My energy is up and pain decreased. I'm so glad I found him and wanted to introduce him to everyone I know who needs treatment with a holistic approach! read more

I just left from my second appointment here as part of an ongoing plan to help with stiffness in my neck as well as mid + lower back pain. After only 2 sessions I feel less tense, have been sleeping better, and my overall mood throughout the day has been uplifted. I don't know how to truly explain it other than I have less brain fog, more energy, & a more positive response everything. My posture is also improving as well as my chest opening up. I can't believe I was walking around for all these years tolerating such a high level of pain. I can't wait to continue treatment! read more

Mr. Lee is a no for me. His practice accepts my insurance and after reading the reviews on Yelp, I wanted to see him. I've been searching for a new acupuncturist after moving out of Oakland. I went to see Mr. Lee at his other location in Pleasanton. During our consultation, I was already feeling a bit hesitant about him when he asked me how my anxiety shows up in my life, how does depression show up in my life. As if I had to explain the symptoms and prove that I was not ok. After sharing about my history with depression, I told him, "I don't feel happy." He literally says "Why not? There's so much to be happy about. You speak good English. There's people in Afghanistan who are suffering." I'm a highly sensitive person as well. I told him, mr. Lee, I understand your perspective but what you just said to me is insensitive and invalidates my experiences. Man I was upset. If you have physical ailments, then mr. Lee can help treat you. However if you deal with emotional distress and mental illness such as depression, then I would not recommend mr Lee. read more

Dr. Lee is very knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients. I have been going to him for over a year now for a variety of things. First, I was in a car accident and was having some lower back and neck pain. With the help of acupuncture and tui-na (somewhat of a massage/manipulation/stretching) my neck and back are almost healed. I still get tune-ups weekly because it does pop back up if I sleep funny or sit for too long. Secondly, Dr. Lee has been treating my dysmenorrhea (menstrual pains) with acupuncture and herbs. When I keep on top of the treatments, I can go about my daily life during menstruation where I typically can't even get out of bed. My quality of life has definitely improved. Dr. Lee takes a holistic approach to health and makes recommendations on stress reduction, diet, and other lifestyle modifications according to the symptoms I experience. Even though sometimes the recommendations can seem bizarre, if you're at your wit's end with western medication, it may benefit you to give his eastern methodologies a chance. For me, it's hard to stick to all of his advice (especially diet) but I'm sure if I stuck to a strict diet it would help my health a lot (too bad I love eating meat and fried food lol) His schedule in Oakland is Full days on Monday, Wednesday morning, and Full day Friday. He's somewhat flexible with appointment times, even staying late for me when I didn't get off work until after 5. His office has 3 rooms (2 with 2 beds if you want to get a treatment with a family member or friend) and 1 single room. You never have to share rooms with a stranger. Treatments last anywhere from 30 mins to 1 hour+ sometimes if no one is scheduled after me and he sees that I'm super tired, Dr. Lee lets me take a 2-hour nap while I get my acupuncture. He's very nice and genuinely cares about you (and he shows it sometimes by nagging your bad behaviors lol) read more

[UPDATE] Its been about 5 months sine I started going to see Dr. Lee 1-2 times a week (depending on what my schedule permits). I am happy to say that I experience little to no pain daily. I have maintained the appts so everything has improved so much. I can run 4 miles with no body pan and I am able to use my hands more for work before getting strained. Dr. Lee has also helped me with other ailments like anxiety and frequent urination. He talks to me during my appointments, asking what I eat and how my digestion is. He really practices holistic healing. Acupuncture has been the only treatment that adequately addresses my Lupus symptoms. I won't see anyone else! I've referred 2 of my co-workers and I would recommend Dr. Lee to anyone! He's rarely ever behind schedule, respectful, kind, and incredibly attentive. read more

I came to see Dr. Lee in the month of May when I was experiencing acute pain on my shoulder, neck and spine. The minute I stepped in his office he was courteous, concise, asked the right questions and he said I will take care of you in 6 visits and the pain should be gone  by then. After each treatment he even helped with a mini massage technique to help with the stiffness. He suggested a couple of minor changes to my protein intake, and after 5 visits the pain was completely gone! I had been prescribed muscle relaxers and heavy duty pain killer, but his expertise on acupuncture helped me at the end. I definitely recommend Dr. Lee for anyone who is looking for a good acupuncturist. read more

Dr Lee is extremely knowledgable, attentive, and fun! From the first visit he took the time to understand my full condition, identified all the conditions that I was experiencing (some I have't even explained to him yet!). I've gone to Kaiser multiple times leaving with my doctor telling me to take 2 weeks of pain meds -- but I know that would just mask the underlying issue. With just three visits my energy levels have improved, and he's helping with the headaches. Dr Lee heals with not just acupuncture, but holistically, with advice of what to eat, and how much exercise to do to help the healing process along. read more

I saw Dr. Lee at his office in Pleasanton for treatment on my right hip. I was riding my bike and was hit by a FedEx van in 2017. I had chiropractic treatment and massages but still had chronic hip pain. I saw several doctors, had an MRI, and was told to get cortisone injections which I declined. Dr. Lee finally gave me some relief with acupuncture and herbal medicine. My hip pain is almost gone and I can sleep on my right side again. It's never too late, if western medicine has failed you give Dr. Lee a try. read more

Dr.Lee is the best I found in USA. Not only about his knowledge but his kind and humor. As a Chinese, I believe the power of tradition Chinese medical. But the question is how to find a good and knowledgeable Chinese doctor? I had struggled a lot before meet Dr. Lee. I had complicate illness. And tried west medical for 2 years, just not improved, and slowly get worse. Then I decided to try Chinese medical. I went back China for 1 month and get better. But some issues take time. When it's time to return to US, I looked hard to find a good trained Chinese doctor. I tried few before Dr. Lee. And the symptoms not get better, luckily I found him and with his help I feel much better after 5 months. And finally I became much healthier and get pregnant. Thanks for Dr. Lee. Without his help, I can't image all of this. Thanks a lot. Highly recommend Dr. Lee to everyone. read more

I threw out my back over a year ago and it hasn't been pain-free since. I recently got into a pretty bad car accident and my car was totaled. The back pains were worst than normal and I had difficulties sitting at work for long hours. Kaiser just suggested icing the back and taking some pain meds for inflammation. After a couple of days of no improvement, someone had suggested I go see Dr. Lee. He was very thorough with the initial consult, and was gentle with the needles. After about 15 min of letting the needles work their magic, he performed some massaging and minor adjustment. My back felt looser and I was able to move and turn with a lot less pain. After about 3-4 sessions, I was finally able to sit at my desk for longer than a couple of hours. After 3 more sessions, Dr. Lee said that I could go back to working out but low impact only. He suggested a lot of warm up and stretching to loosen up my back before doing any exercising. He said even if I feel like my back is a lot better, it takes a some time to heal completely and grow strong again. Dr. Lee calls his business "Longevity" because he truly wants you to have a better life. He explains that he can temporarily "fix" your ailments but it's ultimately up to you to completely heal. While treating me for my back, he asked what I did for a living, when he found out i sit in front of a computer 8+ hrs a day he said that definitely isn't good for my back. He suggest getting up every couple of hours walk around the office, stretch a bit to make sure your body isn't frozen in some awkward position in front of the computer. If available, take a walk outside, take in some fresh air, reset you mood. I know it sounds cheesy but haven't you noticed that sometimes you just need get some fresh air, clear your mind and reset. Dr. Lee is very patient, thorough in his explanations and willing to answer any questions you may have. He doesn't just spend 15 minutes treating you and send you on your way. Because he is thorough, I suggest calling and making an appointment so you have ample time for treatment and questions. I drive 30-45 min to see Dr. Lee and I think it is well worth it. read more

I have no words to express how amazing my experience with Dr. Lee has been. I came to Dr. Lee's office two years ago after two years of excruciating foot pain that began after a long day of intense physical labor. Until visiting Longevity Acupuncture and Herbs I personally did not believe in doctors/medical practice. I'd always noticed the cold and distant evaluation practice and definitely taken after my grandfathers mentality of "mind over matter. 'They' don't know what they're talking about so pummel through it". But after one appointment with Dr. Lee my whole perspective on medicine has changed. I had ONE appointment with him to deal with my foot and in less than 10 needles I could finally step without the knife-stabbing pain in my arch that I had walked around with a limp. Completely gone. This was two years ago - and had it has not come back since. Since then, I've seen Dr. Lee several times for different issues; for ovarian cysts, menstrual issues that came with a multitude of different symptoms (hot flashes, faintness, etc), an injured back from weight lifting. And he has taken the time to learn each and every symptom and treated accordingly and every time I leave his office - I'm exponentially better, if not 100% (some treatments of course have required several dosages over several appointments). read more

Dr. Lee is amazing!! I tore my Achilles in July and went to my regular Dr with physical therapy for 6mos. and I was still having issues with my ankle hurting and problems walking. They told me that it will be that way for a long time. I decided to try acupuncture for the first time, and good thing I did! I saw Dr. Lee and with in 3-4 sessions I was a lot better. Still working on the ankle now but definitelly a lot better than the way I was going with other doctors and physical therapy. I was finally able to go back to work and do my regular duties by the 3rd session. I was also lactose intolerant, but after doing about a month or so of sessions I am doing a lot better and my tolerance is way better. It's nice to at least eat some dairy now, which I have been missing out on for the past 20yrs. Even Lactose milk had adverse reactions with me, so I am glad that I am getting better at least. Dr Lee is very easy to work with as well as gentle when putting in the needles. I will see him first when I have new injuries from now on. I have also referred a few friends to him who also think the same thing. I am sure they will have the same satisfaction as I did. read more

Dr. Lee is the real deal! I've been going to acupuncture for 20 years. Dr. Lee is one of the best acupuncturist I have ever seen. He is helping me with multiple issues including joint pain, lower back issues and even knee problems that probably need surgery. He's very kind and explains the treatment options and ways to avoid getting re-injured. I have already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. read more

Dr. Lee is an amazing doctor! When I came to him I was in serious trouble, I have lost my habitat no matter how much I wanted to eat I just couldn't do it. He told me it will take 3 months for me to be normal again, it was hard for me to believe he can help me because my western doctor couldn't find anything major with me despite doing all the testings. After 3 months treatment with Dr. Lee I'm in better health now and back to my regular routine. As trainer, I spent lot of times training others and myself, last week I wen to see him to help with my knee that was bothering me , he has been able to help reduce the pain and improving my condition. Thank you Dr.Lee for all your amazing help! read more

In short, Dr. Lee is extremely kind and competent and his treatments have drastically improved many of my ailments. Highly recommended. I've been seeing Dr. Lee for acupuncture for about 4 months. He easily identified the misalignment of my cervical vertebrae (bike accident 7 years ago) as the cause of my chronic headaches and eyestrain. After about 4-6 treatments my headaches/eyestrain have been greatly reduced and I can stand working at the computer all day again. He also recommended simple things like self-massage of various acupressure points and performed some stretching and joint mobility/massage on me after my acupuncture sessions. Now we're working on my general over-stressed and fatigued constitution with acupuncture and herbs. He explains everything he does, including what points are for what ailments, explains how the treatments work in a systemic way, but also emphasizes proper nutrition and self-care as part of healing. He has given me extensive nutrition consultations too. Dr. Lee really seems to care about doing the best job possible. He never rushes, he answers all my questions and he takes the time to explain what he's doing and some of the theory behind it. He always makes sure I'm comfortable (heat, blanket, no needles hurting me, etc.). He's easy-going, attentive and gives practical advice to complement the treatments (nutrition, self-massage, taking computer/desk breaks at work, where to get good deals on ginger). Ask him if you don't have insurance or are on a low-budget and he may be able to work with you! After being rushed through 10-15 minute appointments at places like Kaiser with Western doctors who just shrug at my various symptoms and offer a pill as a band-aid, being able to speak in-depth with Dr. Lee about my complex and intertwined health issues and being treated like a human being by a health care provider has been healing in and of itself. Thank you Dr. Lee! read more

Dr. Lee is an amazing acupuncture and herbal practitioner. He's very attentive, is concerned about the patient's comfort level, explains every phase thoroughly, and let's you know exactly what acupuncture can and can't do. I truly appreciate that.

Dr. lee continues to deliver top quality care to my son. He is now working on helping my son with his asthma symptoms. Already, my son is using the albuterol nebulizer less. Recently, my son also became ill due to a flu virus and since he suffers from primary immune deficiency it takes him longer to heal. During that time Dr. Lee called to check in on him and offer suggestions of acupressure points I could massage to help with fever and other symptoms. When my youngest also got a fever I massaged the points in him too and his fever was gone by the afternoon. I will now be calling doctor Lee for our family medical care. He is an expert in his field and his personal care is an extinct form of care. He is not the type of doctor that times your appointments and only wants to hear one symptom. He is a healer who knows the human body and spirit and the medicines that help heal, not just treat symptoms. He listens with empathy and truly cares. THANK YOU Dr. Lee!!! read more

I sprained my ankle pretty badly, and the regular doctor told me to just stay off of it. I was ready to lose about 3 weeks waiting for it to heal, but fortunately, I went to see Dr. Lee the first day of the injury. He did about 5 minutes worth of acupressure, and I went from not being able to walk to walking around normally that same day. Woke up the next morning with the ankle perfectly fine. Dr. Lee is amazing. I will go to him for all of my injuries from now on. He is very reasonable too. read more

My mom referred me to Dr.Lee because she sees him in is mountain view office. I am low income and he was willing to work out an affordable and doable payment plan since I do not have insurance. That allowed me to see him frequently for my back, & hip pain. He also helped me tackle some intestine/bowel movement issues which no doctor has been able to fully address. He is funny, charismatic, caring, very knowledgeable, patient, flexible, and understanding... And did I mention that he truly knows his stuff! What more could you want?! He was able to fully alleviate my back pain and significantly tackle my hip issue. Once I was feeling better, he didn't try to suck me into continuing as most doctors would to make extra cash... He left the door open for me to decide what I needed and when. He is very honest & transparent. He always spent 1 hr on me which I thought was awesome... It's nice to feel taken care of! I will def. continue to see him when I need and would highly recommend him. read more
