I decided to try Dr. Wang. She is a doctor of oriental medicine. Acupuncture is not recognized or covered by any insurance. :(
Park closer to the other JS building, her office is on the right side of the second building.
The first consult and appointment is $120. They do have a 6 package session for $400 and 13 package session for $800. Their last appointment is at 5pm. They do have some office hours on Saturdays, that's a plus. She doesn't promise any quick fix and mentioned it could take a few months to align the bodies' meridian.
Dr. Wang answered my call after a brief hold on another call. She was really easy to talk to and explained what was going on and what results I was looking for as well. She was so easy going and was fully engaged and so informative too. I felt quite at ease after our first phone conversation.
I am looking forward to my appointments to address some specific key issues on my body for blood flow relief, stress tension release and other lady stuff.
Dr. Wang explained the general session and processes and recommended frequency of sessions and timeframe too.
Be sure you go to the 7071 building location. There's a 7091 and the building looks exactly the same and has the same building name too.
Make sure to go to the side door, not the one facing orchard lake road. Ready to get my needle session on. Hoping to feel like a million books after the appointment or soon afterwards.
Front staff checked my ID. Sent me into an exam room with 3 pages of documents to fill out shortly after 5pm and returned my ID to me. There was a covid screening page.
There are framed certificates and credentials in the front waiting area.
Staff seems quick and efficient. I am chilling in the exam room waiting for the doctor to enter. The woman that takes you to your room, her English isn't the best, but you can generally get the gist of things.
Dr. Wang was knocking at my door by 5:15pm. She seems so nice, she's super easy to talk to. I told her about some ailments to try to get help addressing. The opening and closing of doors can be distracting during your session.
I had 11 needles in me to address the heart, hormones, liver, kidney and spleen. Laid with the needles for 35 minutes. Tried hard to stay still and relax. Doctor came in midway to turn needles to help stimulate. Takes body a few sessions to take effect. More frequency or twice a week boasts better and more quicker results. Helps with balance of meridians in the body. Recommends 5-10 minute meditation every day to help with stress tension.
First session took about an hour and 20 minutes. I Felt really relaxed after my acupuncture session. It almost felt like I got a massage.
Dr. Wang was taught acupuncture from her grand father and learned about the bodies meridians and how to create the bodies balance since she was 5 years old. What an accomplishment.
Dr. Wang has been in practice professionally for about 9 years. She comes from a family of 8 generations working and practicing Acupunture.
Dr. Wang protected herself well against her patients. She wore gloves, medical mask, N95 mask and a face shield too. She is quadruple protected, that's good to see and makes me feel reassured she's doing her part to protect and prevent the spread.
My hands still felt cold weeks after starting the acupuncture. Dr. Wang said it could take a few months of sessions for the body to fully normalize and get all of the meridians back to good. Seems like a long time, especially in our society, where we want instant gratification.
Second appointment. It was a Saturday. The room smells freshly clean. She's busy today too. She seems to be rather busy every Saturday after coming for several weeks now.
I feel like a jellyfish after an acupuncture appointment to help me relax and destress here. It does the job. I feel the same as I do after an hour of deep tissue massage.
Dr. Wang has great bedside manners and is so easy to talk to about anything and puts all anxieties at ease during the session.
Each session takes about 30-45 minutes.
I did get some good size bruising from the needles a few times, even if it didn't hurt going in at all.
Have 3 more sessions left out of 25 and at this point my mind has settled that I would only be getting a relaxation session out of the remainder. My circulation is no better. My sleep is no better. My stress is no better and my hormones are no better, despite the balanced meridian in the body after 25 sessions. read more
