I've always been a little hesitant to try something new, but last year I was having some major health issues and a friend encouraged me to try acupuncture. I was introduced to Yaping, the owner and we discussed my issues as well as my hesitation and nervousness on trying acupuncture. She was very patient and attentive and it wasn't long before she settled my nerves and we tried a few needles. I soon realized there wasn't anything to be afraid of and within hours of treatment I could already feel a difference to my health. Since that first visit, I've gone back to see her several times for different health issues: allergies, blood pressure, anxiety, menopause and gastrointestinal problems. I've been amazed at the results and feel so much healthier and am now a true believer in holistic therapy vs taking medicine, having a bunch of tests run that may or may not give the right answers or being told that surgery is the answer. Yaping is a wonderful acupuncturist and really cares about your health and helping you to feel your best and the environment there is very tranquil. With the gentle music playing, the quiet peace and the heat lamps ( optional), I am transported into a meditative, relaxing state. It's a truly tranquil and positive experience.

My OB-GYN had referred me, and at the time, I was determined to give everything my best shot - I wanted to try just once and make use of every resource available. I had such a wonderful experience. My IVF process went smoothly, and I was incredibly fortunate to have a baby girl on the first try. Of course, many factors contribute to success, but I truly believe choosing Annie's was one of the best decisions I made. The sessions helped me feel more relaxed and less stressed throughout the journey. I only wish I lived closer. I'd love to return for regular treatments.

I was able to get immediately seen within two hours from making call, which was great since my back was in extreme pain. I went and I was comforted with the explanation of acupuncture and how it works. I began the treatment, in which I placed total trust in the session. I had several needles placed into my arm, legs and torso, which I was explained throughout the entire process why it was being done. I really liked that each stage of treatment was thoroughly explained. After the acupuncture, a heat and a kind of massage was included. During the treatment I was asked to walk around, move and see where pain was isolated or located. Each time it was less and less irritation in my problem area, which I was impressed. After one session, I did feel a great deal of improvement, but as explained, is not cured with one session. I do plan on going at least once a week to keep healing my back. This office is clean and staff professional. It's located conveniently off the freeway and off a major thoroughfare. Parking lot is available. Definitely a place I will continue to go.

Compared to my last acupuncturist, Mr. Lee spent more time with me prior to my treatment. We spoke about my work history, what I do for a living currently, my injury, previous injury treatment and all of my symptoms. He took plenty of time to understand my injury and me prior to treatment, which I really appreciated. After that, it was time for my treatment. After my treatment, I was so calm, relaxed and centered, that it actually confuse me. It's like a I woke up from a deep sleep. I didn't feel this not once, at my last acupuncturist. I am so happy and I have already recommended him to two of my friends. After my treatment, Mr. Lee told me to go take a walk. I went for a walk and then sat in my truck for about 15 minutes. After that, I drove home for about 40 minutes because there was traffic. I was in such a relaxed and centered state, that did not bother me one bit. I already am feeling some relief and can't wait for my next appointment!

I went to see him because of tendinitis in my hands. I was in my mid 30's by then. He always asked me about my health in general, and one day I told him my medication had been discontinued and the new one they prescribed did not work. That's when he offered to try acupuncture. I laughed at him, but trusted his skills and gave it a try. I remember Dr. Weiss every day of my life!! I sometimes get headaches (any pain killer will work for it,) but I have not had a migraine in 20+ years. Thank you Dr. Weiss!!

For years I suffered from what the Western Doctors thought was sick-building syndrome (in the 80s)…read morewhereby it is believed that there are spores in the (typically work) office building HVAC that keep making some people sick. It started within a week of starting a job in Sunnyvale and kept going for years. Every six weeks, like clockwork, I would get a sinus infection which then turned into a cold / flu / whatever that kept me sick for two weeks and out of work for a few days. After seven bouts of this in twelve months, I was getting super depressed and frustrated. I went to ENTs, allergists, all types of Western medical doctors, took all sorts of antibiotics (with their side-effects) and then an acquaintance recommended acupuncture, which saved me (and my sanity). I went to her acupuncturist and I didn't get a cold (or this strange sinus infection - very similar) for almost 18 months. Then I lasted another 15 months before I got a cold. Then my acupuncturist retired and I went to the woman who took over her business. I saw her three times and within two days, all three times, I came down with the two-week sinus condition. Every time. I say "she pushed the right spots, but she pushed them the wrong way". Needless to say, I stopped seeing her. After whining about how miserable I was, my chiropractor recommended Dr. Weiss, who I saw and who saved me from those dreaded sinus infections happening every six weeks and has kept me in such good shape for well over ten years - closer to twenty. No more sinus infections, rarely even a cold, definitely not the flu. I see him every month and get a tune up and I swear by him. He has helped me with headaches, a bad back, IBS, all sorts of aches and pains and ailments over this long time. Some things are resolved and disappear right away and others may take a few treatments, but whatever is going on, he lets me know if he can help or not. Acupuncture works but you need the right person to do it. He is the right one for me, for sure. Everyone I have recommended him to has been very, very happy.

I walked out with very little pain, feeling at least 50% better after that first visit. What sets Jonathan apart is how he works. He explains everything as he goes, so you always understand what he's doing and why. He talks you through each movement, constantly checks in on how you're feeling, and cues you carefully through stretches and exercises so you never feel lost or pushed too hard. His calm, pleasant demeanor makes a real difference when you're dealing with that kind of pain and frustration. I now see him consistently, twice a week, and it's made a huge difference for me. He didn't just reduce my pain, he got me moving again and made me feel genuinely supported the whole way through. If you're dealing with an injury and want someone who's skilled, patient, and actually listens, I can't recommend Jonathan enough. Five stars without hesitation.
