The very best acupuncturist in Gainesville! She is not only an acupuncturist but a doctor of…read moreTraditional Chinese Medicine. I have been seeing her since 1997, almost every other week. What makes her stand out is how her treatments have an immediate relief! I have seen many acupuncturists for more than 30 yeas and none have her skills, expertise and kindness. Her bedside manner is unmatched. She is gentle, caring and compassionate and very knowledgeable. Never pushes you in receiving any treatments you don't want. She also pairs acupuncture with Infra Red Therapy and a trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit by delivering small electrical impulses through the needles; then employs cupping, a most relaxing and healing modality tat stimulates oxygenation and blood circulation. It never fails to take away any pain and inflammation. Additionally,she teaches Tai-Chi and QiGong free every Saturday at the Massey park by the tennis courts on NW 34th street. She takes insurance as well. She is truly a gem!

Chinese acupuncture is run by Min Li, the most caring and honest doctor I've ever seen. I've been…read moregoing to Min for about seven years. Having tried acupuncture before and failing to see its worth, when I first started seeing Min I was skeptical. After my first treatment I still wasn't sure acupuncture did anything, but I enjoyed the time I spent with Min - she was loving in a way most doctors aren't (or at least most doctors don't openly show care and concern on a first visit). She listened without judgement and never pushed a specific treatment but gave recommendations and discussed options that fit my lifestyle. After a few visits I started seeing real changes in my health and I've been seeing her ever since. I live two hours away from her office now, but I make the trip a few times a year or whenever I feel I need a treatment (or when I just miss her; she's become that close to me). Whether you've been getting acupuncture treatments for years or you are looking to try it for the first time, I highly recommend Min Li.

Dragon Rises is the first place I have ever tried acupuncture. I was skeptical, because I had…read morebeen to several traditional doctors for issues with vertigo, difficulty with sleeping and difficulty with bowel movements. With just 5 treatments with Lori Pallais, my acupuncturist, I must say I am now a believer in eastern medicine and acupuncture etc. Lori Pallais is great. She is great with communicating, and just after the first 3 treatments, my vertigo is completely healed, I fall asleep faster, and wake up way less than I used to. I used to wake up 4-5 times throughout the night every night for several years, I now wake up once a night or sometimes I sleep completely through the night. I used to have a bowel movement once per week, but only after taking a laxative. Now I have a bowel movement at least 5 days a week. I had also suffered with shoulder pain for the last 15 years due to a motorcycle accident. After just 5 treatments, my shoulder pain is gone. I can't express enough how thankful I am for Lori Pallais and Dragon Rises for taking the time to work on all of my physical issues that were majorly affecting my sleep and everyday life. Thank you Lori for helping to restore my health and for helping me get better nights sleep. You were able to fix in just 5 treatments what western medicine doctors have not been able to do in 10 years. All of the doctors I have went to, have just given me prescriptions which never really helped and at best just put a bandaid on the real issues, but you were able to get to root cause and heal the areas of the body that needed healed to give me back my life and mobility. Thanks again Lori Pallais.

I have been very satisfied with her practice, and also with the massage that she sometimes combines with acupuncture. At home (hours away), I see a Chinese acupuncture physician who has a different approach. I find that Christine has a more intuitive approach that I like very much. I trust her to know what I need even when I don't know myself.
