I would trust the process!! I recommend going to see Dr. Said for all your acupuncture needs. I went in for neck and back pain and normally would be 100% skeptical about acupuncture. But believe me when I say I have not felt better in all my life. Dr. Said is caring and compassionate, and the staff is very friendly and helpful as well. If you are searching or doubting, this is your sign! Give it a try. -Richard S read more

I reccomend Dr Said to everyone read more

Dr Said is the best. She has helped with with so many issues and I'm so grateful for her caring treatments.

I tried acupuncture years ago, and to be honest, it was painful! Fast forward a couple of years and I now suffer from disc issues and was in pain. I was given Dr. Said's info and decided to call her. When you meet her, you will experience her warm presence, patience, positiveness, and her willingness to listen to your needs and offer solutions. She outlined a plan for me and provided treatment. I followed it and I can now say that I am living a more comfortable life. Am I still scared of needles...YES! BUT, when Dr. Said places them on my body, I can't feel them and I become very calm and stress free. I see her regularly and whenever I feel as though my body needs a tune-up, or if I push myself too hard (happens all the time because of my active lifestyle), I make an appointment to help my body deal with back pain. Dr. Said is incredible and I wouldn't hesitate for minute to recommend her to anyone searching for a different experience to treat pain. read more

I got referred here from my PCP for my pain. I called the number to make the initial appointment. The lady picked up the phone was unprofessional and didn't even have the business greeting. All she said "hello!", I had to ask "is it the acupuncture place of Dr Said!?", she then said "yes"...smh! When I said about my referral, she put me on hold to look for my authorization letter, but she didn't actually put me on hold. I heard all commotion on their end for around 10 mins. She then got back and said she found my PA letter and said my PCP referred for neck and shoulder pain. I then told her the last week my pain radiated to my right arm as well, would Dr Said treat me for right arm too or just shoulder and neck. Surprisingly she didn't even check with Dr and answered for the doctor that they won't treat my arm, I will need another diagnosis from my pcp to get treated for my arm. I called my pcp and requested them to refer me to somewhere else. I don't know how good Dr Said is, but her receptionist is horrible and unprofessional and I'm under so much pain lately and have no mood to deal with unprofessional business like this. read more

I cannot say enough about Dr Said and the amazing Veronica, her assistant. From the minute you come in, most of us in some sort of pain are welcomed and treated with warmth and kindness. I have referred Dr Said to many many patients including my Mother and my son. All have been positively impacted after the treatments they received. She works with Western medicine and also is honest about issues that acupuncture cannot help heal. I moved from the area and after trying other acupuncturist, I either manage through the pain or make the drive to Tustin. It is well worth it. Dr Said is a gift! read more

Dr. Said played a key role in my recovery and I can't praise her expertise, professionalism, exceptional care and bedside manners enough!!! I had a lifelong mental block against acupuncture because of the "needles" but I am so glad I challenged myself and tried it anyway. I got hit by a drunk driver in January 2020 and underwent 8 surgeries to reconstruct my left leg. After surgery #7, my leg was stuck, my knee was swollen and inflamed for months and the scar tissue from all the surgeries made it such that I couldn't bend my knee past 75 degrees... not to mention, I was in extreme pain every day... Over the past 2 years, some of my friends mentioned acupuncture to me, but before they were done telling me who was their amazing acupuncturist, I'd stop them and let them know that I would "never" do acupuncture because of the "needles"... Well, fast forward to November 2021, I asked the few friends who had mentioned their acupuncturist and asked for their name and I could not believe that all of them were seeing Dr. Said!!! It was a sign! I was desperate to find other ways to manage my pain without increasing my pain meds drastically so I tried acupuncture. Dr. Said was patient and reassuring. She explained her process and asked to give her at least 12 sessions before deciding whether to stop acupuncture or not, etc... Her bedside manners were on point and she was very gentle. I was amazed! So much that I felt silly for not trying acupuncture before! I am so grateful that Dr. Said improved my quality of life tremendously. I continue seeing her every week and now I look forward to every appointment! Thank you Dr. Said!!!! read more

She is amazing. I know her and my family knows her for 25 years. I die without her help. She takes my pain away.

Dr. Said is absolutely amazing. My husband woke up and was rushed to the ER thinking he was having a stroke. Thank God it ended up being Bell's Palsy. Someone mentioned accupuncture was a good treatment; along with meds. We came to see her and she worked her magic. She helped him in so many ways! If you're suffering in pain, have health issues, or fed up with Western medicine you have to come try accupuncture with Dr. Said. You won't regret it!!! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Said for over two years. I have referred her to numerous friends, family, and associates. She has been tremendous in helping me relieve stress and anxiety, as well as alleviating back pain. Dr. Said is also very personable and caring. read more

I was referred to Dr Said for Acupuncture by an Orthopedic MD. After over a year of symptoms (Pain in my neck and shoulders and joint inflammation), I've experienced a dramatic decrease in my symptoms. Dr Said provides individualized treatment and a relaxing therapeutic experience. There are many words to describe my experience with Dr. Said, but the first that come to mind are: 1.) Professionalism, 2.Friendliness, 3. Compassion, 4.Kindness, 5. Expertise, 6.Respect and 7. Honesty. The doctor has a second office in Long Beach Rehabilitation Associates Medical Group 2840 Long Beach Blvd Long Beach, CA 90806 read more

My hair was falling out. I had 8 bald spots on my head. I am so thankful I found Dr Said. She has been treating me and now no more bald spots! My hair is coming back in. She has helped to lessen my stress and restart my body. She knows her craft and is a brilliant woman! Go to see her. She will help you. Thank you for helping me. read more

I work in healthcare and I have seen Dr Said on and off again the past couple years for pain management after a couple sports injuries and a surgery. Not only is her needling superb and gets me pain free results but I find her presence to be very healing and calming. She always wants to know how I'm doing in other aspects of my life and takes a holistic & "wholistic" approach. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Said is THE best. I have never and will never see another acupuncturist. I've been seeing her ever since I was a teenager and had back issues. What I think makes Dr. Said stand out from the rest is that she has such a warming presence that just makes you feel so relaxed. I not only recommend others to try acupuncture, but I specifically recommend this office and this doctor!! read more

My primary doctor referred me to Dr. Said for treatment of chronic pain caused by arthritis in my neck. Her treatment has been very effective in alleviating my pain and improving my ability to move. She is a very experienced practitioner and knows exactly what she needs to do to treat your problems. She works with confidence and is very caring about your needs. She runs her practice very efficiently and both office staff are very warm and helpful. It is a real pleasure to spend time in her office where everyone is supportive, caring and knowlegable. read more

Dr. Sepideh Said has saved me. I was recently in a minor car accident and was suffering the dreadful effects of whip-lash and anxiety. My whole entire neck was locked for days and had a horrible shooting pain. Anyway long story short, she cured me. I was a little hesitant about how affective "needles" could have on my body, but sure was I wrong. Dr. Said has such a lovely, welcoming energy about her, you will want to go just to see her:-) She is very caring and understanding of your pain and listens to everything, gives the best input to put you at ease. She is so friendly, respectful, and compassionate to your needs. I felt SO much better leaving then when I came in. Before the treatment, I couldn't even get out of bed without excruciating pain down my neck OR having heart palpitations all day from anxiety. Now, I am completely at ease and I have barely any pain. She is truly amazing. I am so glad I visited her and I will continue to go for treatments... read more

Dr. Said is the most attentive, caring, personable and experienced acupuncturist around. She not only has years of experience, she genuinely cares for her patients and dedicates as much time needed to make you feel comfortable and on your path to recovery. I have been getting treated by her for years. Whether it's from anxiety, accident related issues, or even healing from two c-section surgeries, she is so well rounded she has helped me heal through it all! I can't say enough about her. I highly recommend her!!??? read more

Better than any medication, surgery and message! At least for me and whole host of friends. Can't wait for my next appointment!! read more

Very cheerful, upbeat & focuses on concerns @ hand. Amazing with pain relief. All holistic highly recommend.

I wanted to try acupuncture and was recommended to Dr. Said by my dentist. It's been life changing so far for me! Dr. Said is not only an expert in what she does she is warm and truly cares for her patients. I truly look forward to every visit because I get so much relief. If you're scared it's going to hurt, it really doesn't. It feels like a tap and that's about it. I can't tell you enough how much better I feel each time I go. read more

Dr. sepideh has taken my severe back pain in 12 sessions. I recommend acupuncture very highly.

I have had the pleasure of referring several members of my family to Dr Said over the past 10 years. She is one of the most professional compassionate medical professionals I have ever met. I wholeheartedly recommend her on yelp as I have directly to family and friends for years! read more

She is the best Dr. ever. she has saved me from chronic pain. She has cured my menopause symptoms and totally put me in a happy zone. Thank you so much read more

I have been coming here for several months (on and off basis) and each time I am treated with friendliness and a great attitude. I feel SO much better each time I leave the office. My family has started going there as well. read more

I'm so pleased with Dr. Said. She is very caring and skilled. She provides effective treatments with needles and herbs. I highly recommend her. read more

So far so great! I have suffered with severe nerve pain as a result of Shingles I had 3 years ago. Had tried every drug, therapy, and even acupuncture for months from another therapist. When our fabulous Dermatologist recommended her, I was very skeptical. Grudgingly I drove up from South County (in traffic) for my appointment. Her office staff (Veronica) greeted me and introduced herself (which never happens in a Dr. office!). I was still unsure about the treatment. When Dr. Said met me, she explained in detail all about her background (ok, ok, I heard some of this before from the last guy). Then with barely a pinch, the needles were inserted. I immediately felt relaxed...and slowly drifted off to sleep. Before I knew it, she was back to remove the needles. I left the office still feeling relaxed, the pain was also slowly drifting away. For the next couple of days, it was the first time in 3 years I was pain free some of the day and significantly less the rest of the time. After the second treatment...the results were the same...third treatment coming up....and I am ready. She said give me 12, and if I can't help we'll call it quits. I'm a believer. Tell your friends, I have! read more

Dr. Said has worked wonders for me at her Long Beach office - I had been a skeptic of acupuncture, but her professional demeanor and great staff put me at ease. My results were almost immediate. I've seen her a couple of times with success. read more

Dr. Said is an amazing Doctor! I have referred her to many friends & family and they were completely satisfied with her treatments. She is extremely professional, yet has a very caring and gentle way with each of her patients. I had major back surgery and as a result have suffered with chronic back pain and peripheral neuropathy in my legs and feet. She knows my body like a roadmap and knows exactly which pressure points need attention. The pain is released shortly after and I do not have to use narcotics for the pain. It is such a relief when the pain releases through the pressure points. Also this treatment works amazingly with the neuropathy. My circulation improves and the pain in my feet reduces to minimal or no pain at all. I recommend Dr. Said highly! Acupuncture addresses almost any health issue you may be suffering with. Her energy is so positive and she truly cares about each and every patient. read more

One of the most enduring and beautiful human beings I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She is also very skilled and talented!

Indeed, doctor Said is the best! I've been going to doctor Said, on and off for the past two and a half years when I need to. Her positive, calming and healing bedside manner is the best there is and worth every penny of the price of admission. I wish she could be my general practice doctor. I find her treatments genuinely effective and they have helped me physically, mentally and emotionally. Doctor Said will address multiple issues in a session. Trust me, doctor Said knows what she's doing. One has to be open minded and willing to attend multiple sessions for treatment to be effective. You will not get results with just one, or two treatments. I know this from my own experience with doctor Said. Yes, you may find other doctors that give you more treatment time for less money. But, their treatments won't have the same after effect as the treatments of doctor Said. Go try the rest. Then, try the best. Doctor Sepideh Said. read more

I never write reviews on yelp but when you feel the need to share a great experience that can possibly help others in the same circumstance you feel compelled to do so. I cannot say enough about Dr. Said and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, caring and very knowledgeable acupuncturist. I suffered with Vertigo for 1 1/2 years being passed from Doctors to specialists and went through extensive vestibular therapy to find answers and relief to my symptoms. Nothing really worked and no answers could be found until a co-worker of my daughter in law highly recommended Dr. Said. I was ready to try anything for relief. I am happy to report that after a few weeks of treatment I started to find relief from the nauseating symptoms I had had for a long time. After the full 12 weeks of treatment I felt more like my old self and could enjoy every day activities and actually think clearly and work a full day. I cannot express my gratitude to Dr.Said not only for her expertise but for wonderful gentle and caring demeanor that puts you at ease from the very minute you meet her. She is dedicated to finding a solution to your problems and it is obvious that she is not in the business to make money but to generally help people. I must also say that Veronica on the front desk could not be nicer to her patients, they make a great team! read more
