Brought my son in for back and leg pain. He received cupping and acupuncture needles with electronic stimulation attached to the needles. He said the pain doubled from this treatment. He also now has numbness in his foot that he didn't have before. It's been a week since treatment and his foot is still numb and the back pain and leg pain haven't gotten any better. He walked in to the appointment and has been flat on his back in bed since then. I emailed the doctor through yelp and no one responded. It's been several days. read more

I usually don't write any review but I want to thank Dr. yu as he was very kind and amazing. My my mother is 80 years old and for three weeks strong back pain that the ER room did nothing for her but put her on pain medication. Finally I called Zen Acupuncture and she had one treatment. Thank God she walk up not feeling pain and the pain level decreased a lot and she no longer needs the pain medication. Dr. Yu was very kind to my mother. He helped to receive the treatment in a setting position as she can't lay flat on her stomach. He was very caring and extremely knowledgeable. He also noted other issues with my mother's feet and immediately did a treatment for the feet as well. Before I call Zen Acupuncture I took my mother to another acupuncture in Redwood City and when she saw my mother walking with walker and was in a lot of pain she refused to do any treatment. Which told me that Dr. Yu had a lot of experience and knows how to treat very difficult complicated issues. Thank God my mother is doing better now and thank God that I took my mother to see Dr. Yu as he is amazing. Thank you Dr. Yu for everything you did for my mother. My mother and I are thankful to your help and we will always recommend you and stay your patient. read more

Dr Wong and Dr Yu are very pro. Me and my husband went in shoulder pain. We did message and acupuncture per session. We always felt release every time we go. Our shoulder problem is beenon going problem for us, due to we the position of using our computer and sleeping position. Love them. read more

Very professional and warm service. Worth recommending. It is a very distinctive and effective treatment.

Forced me to accept their acupuncture treatment when I needed physical therapy. I've been with 4 different physicians and clearly know my medical history but the two doctors were extremely condescending as they constantly berated me for being wrong and telling me they know best and that I needed acupuncture treatment. All this without ever examining me or touching my injured ankle. read more

I just arrived in the Bay Area and need acupuncture treatment. After a series of phone calls, I chose Zen Acupuncture & Herbs. Sure enough, I made the right decision. First of all, it is close to Exit 101 and is surrounded by shopping malls, which is very convenient. Except treatment, you can also do some shopping and enjoy meal with different style. The clinic is not big, but fully equipped and very cozy. Most important facts are that all doctors are very educated, very knowledgeable, have very strong medical backgrounds. They patiently listened to the patients, carefully formulated the plan. After two treatments, my illness was greatly reduced. I am so pleased. For this reason, I highly recommend this clinic to everyone who needs help, and give them five stars. K. D. Han read more

I have shoulder and neck pain due to the positions and the long period of time of using computer. I feel much better after few sessions of massages and acupuncture. Thank you Dr. Wang. read more

I wish I can give this place 0 stars. I usually get my herbs from SoCal because the quality is better and cheaper. However, I ran out last week when I got sick with a cold/sinus infection. I was stressing out about where to get my prescription filled in this area since there are not too many Chinese apothecaries here. I stumbled upon Zen on Yelp and was wary about trying it, but beggars can't be choosers, right? One star for the receptionist (?)/ office manager. She was great. I can't say the same for the doctor. She barely gave me a glance when I told her that I needed some herbs and upon reviewing the prescription, she said that it was going to be expensive. I expected a bit of an upcharge given that there are not too many herbal stores in the area. I told her it was fine as long as she had all the ingredients. She said that she does. The total cost was $39 ($13/packet), which is pretty steep compared to SoCal, but as long as it does its job, I did not care about the price. When I picked up the herbs, she said that the prescription was "weak" and was not going to be effective. I wanted to tell her that I've been taking this prescription for years, but held my tongue. When I got home and opened the packet, I realized that there are certain herbs that were missing AND some of the herbs that she gave was not the right amount (less). After taking it for three days, I did feel better, but when I finished the prescription I felt sick again. I did a more thorough research and found another herbal store and got my prescription filled there. The total was $22.50 ($7.50/packet). So not only did she charge me almost double, but she short changed me in the amount of herbs. She clearly did not take the Hippocratic Oath since she was okay with not filling the prescription correctly. read more

Love Dr. Wang! My work requires me to travel across the US. Each state I search for acupuncture as it is the best results for migraines and finding a balance in my body. I go minimal one time a month. Some doctors have been excellent, others not so great. Dr. Wang is one of the best there is. She has a great spirit and is extremely knowledgable of healing the body. I HIGHLY recommend her! She is wonderful. Five stars all the way. Thank you, Dr. Wang!! read more

These guys were awesome. I was nursing a pinched nerve from cycling and had trouble shaking it off. I received electro acupuncture treatment for one session and they immediately released the pressure so I can properly heal. My recovery was instant and was able to sleep through out the night without pain. read more

In response to this doctor ridiculous and untruthful reply to my review, I'm even more disappointed with this place. She claim that I told her I had throat pain, which I did not. I remember I clearly told her I feel completely fine other than my voice was a little brassy. I told her I just wanted a cupping treatment like what I set appointment for on the phone. She just refused. Let me also add I walked in to this place a week before after a baseball game, and told her I lost my voice a little that I needed some Luohabguo, which is a Chinese herb. What she charged me was twice as much as what I pay in the Chinese herb store in Milbare! . She also claimed that she asked me to sit down which she never did. I mean how would she knew what " condition" I have when she only spoke to 6 feet away, without any diagnosis. All she said was she could give me Chinese medicine for a week. Yes I walked out as soon as I realized I just wasted an hour of my precious time on this shady business, she continues to sell me Chinese medicine over and over again! read more

I have been going to Dr. Grace for about 5 months and I can't recommend her enough! She is a fantastic acupuncturist and a great person to work with.

Very friendly and satisfying experience from being to end I went in with pretty bad back pain from an injury that happened a few years ago.

I walked out feeling amazing and rejuvenated. Thanks so much again I will be returning next week read more

My son and I having been seeing Dr. Patel for a little over 9 months for acupuncture and cupping. I love cupping. When I began I was having stomach issues, insomnia, headaches, Menopause issues, and I smoked a pack a day.

The acupuncturist is extremely knowledgeable. I can tell she has been doing this for a very long time. She finds the right spot with the needle every time.

You cannot beat their price! The quality of service you get is excellent. The receptionist is very nice also. read more

Dr. Wang is a very nice and very experienced TCM doctor. Her acupuncture treatment is perfect. I used to be sleepless in the night and the condition became worse and worse with time going on, -everybody knows it is really a terrible feeling.

After two following treatments, I can have continuous good sleeps. That's fantastic! I would also want to mention, the physician therapists there are also great! Mr. Gao, is the best physician therapist I have ever seen. I promise, if you try once, you will stick to him, and never want to change to others. read more
