First, Dr. Wang is an exceptional doctor, and highly skilled both as a diagnostician and practitioner. Recommend her without reservation. Dr. Wang's care gave me life-changing relief from neck, back and nerve pain as well as exhaustion. She was not the first acupuncture doctor I tried, and she is without question the best. ( and therefore the only one I need). I've seen her, as needed, off and on for over 10 years. As a person who does not typically go to doctors, I was happy to find her. The first visit brought significant progress, and the time rapidly came when she let me know I no longer needed to see her, unless something changed. In the few times that things have changed she rapidly puts me back on track. A former professor at Bastyr University, Dr. Wang literally wrote the book on Micro- Acupuncture, which is widely used to teach the art and science of acupuncture. read more

I want to thank Dr. Wang for keeping my family healthy for the last 6 years. She is always attentive, kind, knowledgeable, and sincere when it comes to treating myself and my family. Dr. Wang's acupuncture treatments helped treat me and my daughter's seasonal allergies that we both had developed over the years. She also helped speed up the recovery of my husband' broken wrist using acupuncture treatments and has helped, multiple times, my athlete son with his injuries. Believing in the education of her patients and caring about them, Dr. Wang always carefully listens to the patient's concerns and provides acupuncture treatment based on the patient's complaints. It is very easy to schedule an appointment with Dr. Wang and my family and I visit her regularly. I have recommended Dr. Wang's services to my friends and co-workers who were very pleased with the results of her treatment, and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an alternative medicine clinic. read more

Very thorough and skilled at acupuncture which helped decrease soreness and inflammation in my shoulder. Office is close to the light rail station. The only issue was her hours - not very convenient when you work days during the week. read more

I have been getting treatments at OMC for many years, and it has really helped keep my back pain (bulging disk) in check. I would credit acupuncture for providing very good pain relief, that has helped me gain the ability to do a lot of physical activity that I am not sure would have happened otherwise. I did participate in PT, and continue to exercise regularly and do stretches, so I'm sure it's a combination of things that have helped, along with the passage of time. Still, I find that these periodic treatments keep my pain manageable and restore me physically when the pain creeps up. Staff are very accommodating and appointments are easily scheduled. read more

One morning in November I woke up believing I would start the day as I had any other weekday morning. When I turned to get out of bed for reasons unknown to me I was struck with the most painful thing I have ever felt in my right gluteus and down my right leg in the pattern of a swirl from the front of my leg spiraling to the back and my foot. The experience was shocking and frightening for my partner and my little dog. It was painful enough that I shook and for the most part could hardly breathe. My partner was alarmed enough to ask if a call to 911 was necessary, somehow I managed to utter a no to her question hoping with every cell in my body this was not permanent. As someone who has managed intractable pain for many years I felt I had no choice but to believe this could not possibly be a new problem I would have to live with in my life. Nothing was getting better with the usual course of ice, heat, Advil, and a minimal range of stretches. After treating my new debilitating state of pain like a teenage pregnancy, i.e., hoping and praying it would just go away, I scheduled an appointment to see my GP followed later by an appointment with Dr. Wang. I had to lie down in the back seat of our car to get to get to the clinic, and, with great woe and trepidation I pulled out my walker from the garage. It was a long morning getting dressed and out the door. I was exhausted, wearing all my fatigue in my heart and mind. It hurt like crazy to take half a step even with the walker but having been to Dr. Wang before for much smaller issues, it was at least familiar. Dr. Wang is a lovely person, and works with a heightened sense of intellect that is well cultivated within her practice of healing. Her treatments are always responsive to the patient's condition and needs. She is never judgmental of clients who seek care in both the eastern and western worlds. For the rest of my life I will always be filled with tiny feeling of wonder about that morning. IN THAT ONE APPOINTMENT I emerged from an arm shaking shallow breathing state of debilitating pain to simply rolling and pushing my walker out of the treatment room and out the clinic door. I could walk without it. Theres no way I wasn't luckiest dog in all of Seattle. Granted I was very tired and depleted of most emotional expression, but I swear if I had a tail I would be wagging it. The following acupuncture appointments and many days forward of that morning were not easy but I was able to believe and love life again. At this point in my review I'm not even sure of what else to say. What happened in that first appointment says everything. If you are considering an appointment with Dr. Wang, just do it. You will never regret it. (p.s. have to leave now, sorry for any typos!) read more

I didn't think it was possible to simply put needles in specific areas and feel better without using any kind of prescription meds...Dr. Wang made me a believer and she is so gentle when putting needles in that you literally can't feel them at all. I have never felt better and I have only seen her twice so far. Can't wait to see the results of going on a regular basis when my body actually gets in a balanced state and I can stop relying on over the counter and prescription pain meds. Give her a try just once and I guarantee you will be just as amazed & become a believer too! Your quality of life will improve just by walking in the door one time! read more

I have been having upper and lower back pains which are getting bothersome for me. A co-worker referred me to Dr. Wang a month ago. I called and got an appointment and treatment right away. It was amazing how I feel so energized after the treatment and my back pains are going away. I will definitely recommend OMC to family, friends, and co-workers. read more

Dr. Wang is wonderful. She has significantly reduced my lower back pain and helped with occasional stomach issues. She is a great listener and very nice to work with. I can't say enough good things about her, she has allowed me to take care of my kids without pain, I am very grateful! read more

Just started going to OMC, so far so good. My very first treament has helped me. I do plan to continue getting treatment there.

I donated plasma for the first time at NIH in October 2011. I was sore after the procedure but I thought this is something that will go away. When the nurse poked me, there was bleeding on that spot- it was the first time to bleed during needle poke. When the pain went for over a week, I reported to NIH and they asked me to go back for evaluation. They did MRI that came out normal. I have been having severe pain in my elbow since. Lifting a cell phone was a problem or just using my left hand to support steering. NIH prescribed Gabapentin as they thought is a nerve injury. The pain regardless remained constant & sometimes hard to sleep at night. After consulting with my primary doctor, I was referred to a physical therapy- went for three sessions, following all the exercises but no improvement. I went to see a neurologist followed by EMG/nerve conduction and the X-ray for the bones came out normal. I tried inflammatory (Aleve,Tylenol, Advil) but nothing helped. The arm was so weak and the elbow vein where they poked me looked a little dilated & inner side of my elbow was tender.Then i went back to the hospital for an ultra sound to check veins and arteries and results came out normal.Finally i was referred to a physiatrist and was given a pain patch which didn't change the pain condition. To make the whole story short, i went back to NIH on September 2012- evaluation by chief neurologist other clinicians plus another MRI but all came out normal with pain still there. After a panel of six (6) clinicians, they decided i try acupuncture. I thought to give it a try, i googled on-line and found Oriental Medical Center-Seattle. After the first appointment, i felt a huge relief right away- it was unbelievable! Then i arranged with the acupuncture to have two (2) acupuncture session weekly. I highly recommend Oriental Medical Center (OMC)http://www.orientalmedicalcenter.com/ This is the only place i can say it improved my arm pain. The acupuncturist (Dr. Yajuan Wang) listens to patients and comes up with a plan of treatment. I love going to this place, Dr. Wang is compassionate to patients and focused on good treatment outcome. The place is cozy just across the street from Macys. This was my first time trying acupuncture and i recommend to anyone in constant pain to try this place; the doctober is knowledgeable and the treament is EFFECTIVE! She uses very thin needles and the needle poke is very mild- just like a mosquito bite. Once the energy start flowing inside your body, it becomes so relaxing; i get so comfortable during the session that i fall asleep all the time. read more
