    Dolores C.

    She's very nice and accupunture does work. I was able to have 8 eggs retrieved for my ivf at 45 and 4 became embryos. I'm following up with her for the implantation

    If this isn't motivation and confirmation tied up in a bow I don't know what is! Dr. Woo was so nice, incredibly genuine and down to earth. Her voice is so calming and reassuring, I was so relaxed and felt so zen throughout that I almost forgot I had 20 needles poking out of my body. Lol #TTC #IUI

    If I could give Dr Woo 100 stars I would. She truly helped make our dreams come true. I felt like her acupuncture was the one thing that allowed us to get pregnant. It was unbelievable and in my opinion the only thing that helped us. We were trying for 16 months and the pain of not getting pregnant every month was the worst experience we've ever been through. After 11 months we decided to get some tests done and go to a fertility clinic. The first step for me was to check if my tubes were open (which was soooooooo painful but worth it!!!!). We went to the fertility specialist in December '15 where they checked my uterus and follicles. Made sure it wasn't damaged and that I had plenty of follicles. Everything looked good. Basically it was unexplained infertility. They couldn't figure out why we weren't getting pregnant. Jan '16 I did an IUI.... And it didn't work. February, we went away on vacation and didn't wanna think about it. March timed intercourse again. At this point we came up w a 3 month plan. March would be timed intercourse, April IUI and May IVF (which scared the crap outta me). In the meantime, my husbands cousin who went through IVF twice and has 2 children through it kept telling me to try acupuncture. It didn't really make sense to me cause there was nothing scientific about it. I never really understood the concept of sticking me with some needles and my dreams would come true lol. I still don't fully understand it even though IT WORKS! So the end of March came and we weren't pregnant. If I'm willing to do IVF in 2 months, I gotta give acupuncture a shot is what I thought. I found Dr Woo on Yelp and she had amazing reviews and specialized in acupuncture infertility. Figured why not. I show up at her office which was pretty plain Jane. She takes me into a room, we sit down across from each other and she asks to see my hands. I give her my hands and she feels my pulse on both wrists silently for about a minute or 2. She than asked to see my tongue (I know kinda wierd). I stick out my tongue. IMMEDIATELY she knew what my problem was.... "It's your circulation, that's why you're not getting pregnant.... And I can fix that." It was pretty crazy. She seemed very confident. She tells me to see her once a week. I told her I was getting an IUI in 2 weeks and she told me to come in once a week before it and the night before the IUI to come in again. The actual acupuncture was pretty relaxing. It doesn't hurt at all. She put some needles in my ankles, my belly, my shins, and my head. I saw her 3 times and did my IUI that month. Saw her the week after my IUI and she congratulated me for being pregnant. There was no way she coulda known that. Ps.I was pregnant. Somehow she knew and somehow the acupuncture worked! It was unbelievable! She truly has a gift and I will forever be grateful! Thank you Dr Woo. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on 12/22/16!

    The amazing Dr. Woo!

    Do you have experience using acupuncture to treat long term post concussive syndrome with daily headpain?

    Dear Wendy, Sorry, I don't have any post-concussion syndrome patient yet. but I had treated many migraine pain patients with very high successful rate.

    This place is hidden and one of the only places in the area I could find that does reflexology. Be…read morecareful about other "massage parlours", eek. Ok back to this review, here's the biggest issue I had with the place and why you see 3stars. They do not inform you either written or verbally that they charge a mandatory tip on top of the service. So while I was happy to tip at the end usually this is based on the service and up to the discretion of the customer. Again, if it had been written or conveyed to us in some format, that would have been ok and we could have decided what to do; however, at the end of the massage, I handed the lady a large bill to cover two foot massages for 60 min and she gave me change back. Then informed me of the mandatory tip value, I was surprised. More important, what if you bring a certain amount of money that can't cover the surprise mandatory tip at the end? People want to tip a good service, but when you surprise customers and demand it, that's when things can get awkward. I really wanted this to be the place I come weekly and recommend to others, not sure if I can now. Many things to think of regarding this surprise. Ambience - somewhat chaotic if I'm being truthful, many people coming in and out, so dont expect a quiet massage. Many people talking on the phone, customers waiting (watching videos on their phone with the audio on). Clean- better than I expected, bring your own towels if you want and maybe some wipes, because again it is covid season still. Therapists - they are really kind overall, do hard work, but again the tip thing above. This was unclear to us and some others if it was a random thing only told to a few people or if everyone was told about this. No conclusion could be made, you decide. Price - reasonable/average for places in that area. Sadly, this is a legit massage place vs the other odd massage parlours, so that definitely makes it hard to find similar places to try out. Overall, I may return, but that tip/price thing has to be clarified by the owner first.

    It's not the fanciest looking place but the massage was great for the price. My only issue was that…read moresometimes the masseuse would leave the room for something and I noticed she would leave the door ajar which stressed me out since I am laying naked on a table with a towel over me. Even if it's just for a few seconds I think it's important to prioritize customer privacy when we are in such a vulnerable position. Other than this small thing, I enjoyed the massage. The masseuse applied the perfect amount of pressure for me and was overall very friendly and sweet.

This year, with COVID, there was an added danger of taking steroids and shutting down my immune system and I thought I was completely out of options. I have never tried acupuncture or any kind of eastern medicine before and I've been a skeptic by whole life. I figured I may as well try every available option though, and with a more open mind, I googled to see if acupuncture could work for allergies and saw it could. I called the owner, Galina, and I was in to see her that week. Before I went, I still went to my regular allergist and got a bottle of prednisone in anticipation of needing it. Before we even began, we went over my diet and lifestyle and I was told various things I should do to prepare for this allergy season. I began the acupuncture, and I also did a treatment called Gua Sha. This time last year, I had been on my third dose of steroids, I took three Allegra per day, and I had a regiment of nasal sprays and eye drops every morning and night. All my windows had to be shut for the month of May and I had to avoid all indoor activities. This year, after being at Acupuncture For All, my windows have been open all season, I can go hiking in the woods, and I haven't taken a single steroid. I can't stop telling friends about how amazing acupuncture has been for me. I have a full bottle of prednisone on my counter that I have no use for. I honestly can't believe I went to doctor after doctor for 17 years and no one could help me and just a couple of trips here and I feel cured. It's been amazing. Would recommend to literally everyone for anything.
