Acupuncture near Atherton

“Dr. Shelley is am amazing healer. She is kind, gentle and very knowledgeable about nutrition and health in general. My neck pain and insomnia got improved significantly with only two treatments. I look forward to continuing my acupuncture treatments with her.“

“I just had my first acupuncture session with Sarah. Not only was she kind, but she took a full history and collected information for what I needed from acupuncture. Outstanding communication as Sarah not only asked me questions of what I was comfortable with in needle placement, but she also explained what she was doing in the moment and checking to make sure I was comfortable. Serenity Day Spa's environment is calming, welcoming, peaceful and attractive. I found myself on the verge of falling asleep during my session, which is something I never do. Best of all, they took my health insurance as my doctor prescribed acupuncture for my neck, shoulder and back pain. I included insomnia and pain in my wrists, knees and ankles. I already have some pain relief and slept better the last two nights. I'm blessed to have found Sarah and Serenity Day Spa.“

“Their practitioners are awesome! Knowledgeable lifelong learners, attentive listeners and thorough readers of patient files, and kindly send me instructions on the web portal for use of TCM herbs (sold in oil from here). If you want to ask me about how this group helped me in my fertility journey, then feel free to message me. Excellent too are the office support and Jane app (appointment management).“

“I went to Dr. Zhu with lower back discomfort and some digestive issues. From a medical standpoint, I needed to lose weight and get more exercise to fully relieve my symptoms. But all that discomfort was getting in the way of my progress. I was interested in acupuncture and guasha and Dr. Zhu explained to me the ways in which these two techniques could improve my health. Our bodies can heal, but sometimes they need to be induced. Techniques like acupuncture, guasha and even cupping, whether they are delivering more circulation to affected areas, or some blocked energy is being released, these can help in your health journey. Dr. Zhu is good at explaining, she is thorough and takes her time with you. One 90-minute acupuncture session with her was already super helpful for my lower back pain. I was more able to sit up and get up without aching within like 2 days after recovery. If you are looking to relieve some non-communicable pain or discomfort, and you think ancient Chinese medicine techniques could help you, I highly recommend Dr. Zhu, she's great.“

“Highly recommend! Sachi is an exceptional Chinese Medicine practitioner. I first started seeing her after frustrations with western medical care's inability to solve chronic knee pain. With Sachi's holistic approach to healing my injuries, I saw vast improvements over just a couple weeks. After implementing her recommended lifestyle changes, I also started having the best periods of my life. She is so gentle with her acupuncture and really takes the time to understand your problems and lifestyle. I always receive the best care and advice from Sachi!“

“Dr. McColl at the Village Doctor has been my PCP for about a year and a half. I am so impressed with both his care and the responsiveness and care of the entire staff. In addition to meeting my immedicate medical needs, Dr. McColl has made excellent referrals to specialists for me. Nothing drops through the cracks at the Village Doctor.“

“This place is amazing! Anita Huang takes amazing care even right away from her first appointment. She has an expert eye and takes time to understand your needs before she starts anything. I've been a few times and she has helped resolve problems I had for months with other acupuncturists. I can't recommend her enough she is wonderful and patient and kind. She heals with empathy and respect“

“I have struggled with pains from long-distance running and training for years. Despite seeing several physical therapists, my pain persisted. However, after just one visit with Dr. Shen, I experienced significant relief. Following 3-4 treatments, my pain was completely gone. Dr. Shen and her assistant, Zoe, always made me feel comfortable during acupuncture sessions, which involved placing 10-20 needles on my body. They earned my trust by diagnosing the deeper cause of my pain rather than just focusing on the symptoms. Their approach has been incredibly effective. Thank you, Dr. Shen and team!“

“Dr Ke is very detail oriented and truly cares for her patients. I have been visiting her for a few months and has been taken care by her with couple of treatment. I especially like their herbs therapy, which takes more time to see the effects and I do see myself gradually become more energetic over time. I really thank Dr Ke for her patience with me and she also got considerate plans for my treatment according to Traditional Chinese medical theories. I will continue to visit Dr Ke going forward!“

“This place is wonderful! The staff are lovely people and very helpful. The practitioners are very knowledgeable and provided excellent services. 10/10!“

“Dr Jack is the best! He's very knowledgeable and caring. I've known him for several years now.“

“I am so glad that I finally found this place after trying acupuncture and massage at so many other places. Doctor Gan is so knowledgeable and is always on point when she does acupuncture. I sit a lot at work and have both neck and back problem. In addition, I danced often so my legs are tight as well. She is able to help me loose the muscle and makes me feel recovered after every session. On top of that, they also have great therapeutic massages. Both Sunny and Leo are extraordinary and responsible. They are my life savers after a long working week“

“I've been seeing David on and off for about 8 years now, since he was in Mountain View. I got a recommendation from my pilates teacher and other students who praised him. I said, nothing to lose and gave it a try. I was surprised from the knowledge and depth that David has. He's not trying to put a bandaid on a problem, he's trying to understand the root cause and treat it. I've been going on a regular basis in the last year and I feel much better after each treatment. Sometimes I have something specific, sometimes it's backpain, stress and I always leave in a much better place. David also incorporates massage and cupping techniques, and he's an expert in getting your neck and back pains go away.
I am really impressed with his treatments.I've been to other acupuncturists before and felt that nothing is really changing, but with David I do see an improvement.

David also helped me with vertigo this year, which was unexplained. Took some time, but he told me don't worry, I will handle it. I was so greatful. The western medicine doesn't know how to deal with lots of conditions and acupuncture helps.

Also jet leg - if you know you're coming from a trip, make sure you book an appointment. One session and you're as good as new.

I know from others that he helped with infertility and menopause, it's something to consider if you're looking for help in these areas.

Thank you David for being there for me and others all these years! Looking forward for our next appointment.“

“This place has been here for about 40 years and has anything you might need. Love this place, and the owners are super friendly. Highly recommend!“

“I was a bit of a sceptic when I first came to see Megan. I had had one other acupuncture experience that wasn't the best. But, I had been suffering from a toothache, neck pain and jaw pain that the dental world was blaming on my jaw. I thought otherwise, but had to do something because the pain was so bad. Dr. Berry was so thorough during the intake session and wanted to get a full picture of my health. With all of that information, she was able to come up with a treatment plan for me. Each week, she would review my history and check in on how things were going. She always made sure I was comfortable, and checked in on me during my treatment. By the end of my package, my jaw and neck pain were gone. Left with only the tooth pain, I was able to go back the to the dentist and tell them that the root cause was, in fact, my tooth (no pun intended.) I will definitely return to Megan should I ever need help. She is such a kind, caring, intelligent and knowledgeable practitioner!“

“Super talented acupuncturists at this compassionate, holistic, grounded and pragmatic practice. They’ll listen carefully and individualize care for your particular and changing (week over week) needs. Gentle needling technique, and the practitioners here incorporate cupping, gua sha, moxa, acupressure, as appropriate and if you’d like. Have seen many acupuncturists over the years (along with moves), and I keep coming back to this practice (going on 5 years now). Highly rec both Jennifer and Loren. And couldn’t recommend an overall better coordinated practice - you’ll be in great hands!“

“Dr. Lisa is magnificent. She listen to my concerns. Her cupping technique is so unique. As you can see, she used only 10 cups but I have marking allover my back. I felt so good after treatment. I will be back soon. Thank you Dr. Lisa!“

“After trying numerous treatments for my post-shingles nerve pain, I decided to give acupuncture a try out of desperation and extreme discomfort. Amazingly, after just one session, 90% of my pain was gone. I still can't believe it! The practitioner is extremely professional and experienced. I can't wait to return for another treatment.“

“I am a lawyer at a tech company that manages a lot of stress (close deals worth billions), and I was looking for an accu that can help manage my lifestyle. I have stress and issues sleeping the entire night.

If you come across this place consider yourself truly blessed. I have seen more than a dozen accus throughout my life due to being in different job locations and know when someone is talented. Yaping Chen is so amazing. In one month working with her, my anxiety is barely there (it doesn't surface through the entire day) and I can sleep through the nights with no issue.

Yaping has this unique, unworldly way of working with people. Her heart is completely in her work, and she cares so much about her patients. She intuitively knows where blocks are in your body w/o you having to say much, and uses CranioSacral Therapy as a healing technique (that not many people know). Each accu session has brought so much joy.“

“Dr.Yu is incredibly knowledgeable and provided the best treatment for my tendinitis when I came in. Highly recommend coming in for a session!“

“Alicia is such a gem. I went to see about 10 acupuncturists before finding her and have now been seeing her over a year, through may different health challenges and experiences, and she always helps me find resolution. My sessions with her are profoundly relaxing, I consistently find pain relief for various injuries, and I got pregnant swiftly after years of chronic illness through my care with her. She listens very attentively and I always feel that she deeply cares about helping me feel better. In times when I see her a bit less consistently, she always checks in with me via messaging. I'm so grateful to have found her on my health journey!“

“I called this center maybe 3 months prior to my first appointment with a accupuncturist. When I called, the receptionist told me they were booked out for 3 months in advanced. However, since this place was nearby and I read all the positive views on yelp, I really wanted to try this place out. So I gave them my insurance information and waited for my turn. Well the day finally came for my appointment. They did not send me any reminders for that day, but I wrote in my calendar that I had an appointment, however I was unsure if it was at 2:30pm or 2:45pm. So I opted to come a little before 2:30pm in hopes of not missing my appointment. When I arrived I like the receptionist know I was there for an appointment and she said she was very glad I showed up because she said it was her fault for not writing down my number when I booked the appointment way back when. Well thank goodness I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget and was able to see the acupuncturist. There are two acupuncturist at this center (Angela and Minal). I booked my appointment with Minal. She was very sweet and knowledge about the practice. I did an acupuncture with cupping. Cupping was an extra $10 that was not covered with my insurance but I figured it was still a good deal. I have only done acupuncture and cupping once before this experience. Minal said she does this thing called moving cupping. Where she uses the same cups but moves it throughout the whole back. There were a few points where I experienced extra pain from the needles (which she told me was because it was super tense there) and some pain with the heat from the cups. She released a little bit of the energy and then added it back when I was able to tolerate it a bit more. She was very kind and made sure to check in on my throughout the experience. I explained that I have been pretty bad back pain for awhile now since working at my job due to all the bending over and lifting. Even to a point that I bought a back brace. Minal was able to help relieve some of the pain and I can only hope that as I go more frequently it will be more helpful. Overall, I had a great experience with Minal. I will definitely be back for more appointments. It may be intimidating to know that it took me this long to get an appointment, but after you get your initial appointment, it's not as bad to get another appointment in. They have a system that notifies you when someone cancels their appointment so you can pick it up. Also to further convince you, I had the best sleep that night after my treatment so it is def worth it!“

“Dr. Chen, is the BEST acupuncture person I have had. She is generous with needles and time. She is Soft spoken kind and doesn't rush you. My neck pain has drastically improved I feel much better. She gives you the works, acupuncture a massage, cupping a heat lamp.. wow you will leave very satisfied with Dr. Chen.
I highly recommend her if you have any kind of pain.“

“Dr Tien is an experienced herbal & acupuncturist! Many friends and family have been going for years. He is detailed, caring, and personal!“

“Best of the best - I was seen by a number of top medical professionals in the bay area for a serious injury. The issues I had been struggling with that my doctors at Stanford could not provide solutions to, Vincent resolved with just 1-2 visits, without a surgery or prescription or another medical exam. That gave me hope during a challenging time of my life. He is the best TCM doctor - I've tried several other top rated ones in different locations but no one came close to him. Hope he lives long and doesn't retire.“

“I have been suffering from a side headache for a few years and it was getting worse and more frequent. Conventional medicine was not able to help without putting me on long term painkillers. I tried ​manual osteopathy and also another acupuncturist but without success. It wasn’t until I was treated by Ben that my headache greatly improved! It worked like magic. I couldn’t be more happy with the results. Additionally, Ben also treated my knee pain successfully. Ben has great bed-side manner, very professional and caring. Even though I was nervous with needles, Ben makes the treatment comfortable.“

“I suffered from chronic back pain and forearm tightness at the old age of 29, from typing at a tech job and using non-ergonomic keyboard/mouse. After 6 months of consistent treatment with Dr. Lauren, I am very fortunate that my back pain has subsided and my forearms/neck/shoulders just need routine maintenance with acupuncture.Dr. Lauren's approach was sometimes painful for me but always worth it as I am amazed that my back is healed. Thank you so much Dr. Lauren.“
