Acupuncture in Irvine

“Was my first acupuncture experience, turned out to be one of the best ones. Appreciate your expertise.“

“Dr. Jeff is exemplary in providing his patients with excellent treatment and care. There is no professional out there as skilled in relieving pain and offering helpful guidance as Dr. Jeff.
I highly recommend seeking his services.“

“For most of 2023 I had extreme pain related to a herniated disc with sciatic nerve pain. It was brutal. I saw numerous dr’s, got prescribed pain meds, went to chiropractors, physical therapists…everything. Nothing worked beyond some minor short term relief. I tried acupuncture at the suggestion of a friend at a point of desperation. I had never done it and was skeptical. I figured I had nothing to lose. It was the best decision I ever made. The relief was instant and dramatic. Dr. Woo is a flat out miracle worker. After a year of mri’s and misery, she fixed me. Melissa in the office is awesome and the entire experience is first class. Cannot recommend enough.“

“I just wanted to express my gratitude to Dr. Won Park for my acupuncture treatments,
have been treated by Dr. Won Park for the past months for my back and Arthritis pain and inflammation. Dr. Won Park’s treatments are comprehensive .The treatment that I received was completely professional and resulted in less pain and more mobility for me ?“

“I would give 10 stars if I could. Dr. Zhao treated my lower back pain and leg numbness with only 6 treatments. She's very nice and knowledgeable.“

“I was looking for a facial acupuncture professional and I definitely found it! The amount of relieve I felt after my first visit was phenomenal. I felt instantly better. It is very worth visiting this place!!!! I am definitely coming back.“

“I've tried many many acupuncture places in Orange County (mostly Costa Mesa and Newport Beach areas). Overall, Dr.Reza Tafazoli has been my go to for the last several years.

I've had lots of muscle pain and nerve issues like Neck and Back Tightness, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, TOS surgery, and mild sciatica.

In All cases, the Dr Has been the overall best at treating these.

He offers various modalities including Acupuncture, ANS (electric stim for muscles/joints), cupping, and even Scar Tissue Therapy (mostly for post-op surgery healing).

Since I'm covered by insurance I generally get 50 minute sessions with as many modalities as I can, sometimes I go over 50 minute sessions if the Dr thinks I need the extra treament (many times I do).

But mostly importantly the Dr actually LISTENS and focuses on the areas I request in detail. Some acupuncture places basically ignore your "intake form" and do what they think is best, or might limit what they work on in a session.

On a minor note, he only has 1 other coworker: Nick, the guy who helps with scheduling, payment, and insurance benefits and negotiating. He's consistently been one of the most helpful front desk office guys I've worked with, making sure to stay communicative has he learns about how my insurance works with acupuncture and the different modalities.“

“Dr. Yang is the best! I started seeing her because of migraines and painful periods. She really helped me alleviate my migraines and cramps. I don’t even have to take any Motrin or anything before my period anymore. She’s a very empathetic and kind doctor. I have recommended her to friends and family as well.“

“Muy buena experiencia Los cuidados son excelentes Y todos son muy amables 100% recomendados“

“My husband and I are still going here once a week consistently for the past 3 years. The staff has changed since then but Dr. Ahn, Lee, Kim, and Hahn are all amazing and have their own techniques and methods.

Since then, I gave birth to 2 children, survived both pregnancy and post-partum symptoms. I’ve also had a sinus infection which caused TMJ flare-up/swelling in my jaw which they were able to use the acupuncture needles and massage to help me move my jaw again. They are amazing and all of the various acupuncture benefits never ceases to surprise me. From TMJ flare ups to stomach/digestive issues to sinus/congestion to snoring to chronic back problems, my husband and I have had it all resolved or improved through this place.

Our session not only includes the acupuncture needles but also the various modalities such as fire cupping or regular cupping, heat therapy, electric acupuncture, air compression massage, regular massage or acupressure points, etc. Even the assistant staff are all in school and are physical therapists or have similar training. We trust this facility and plan to continue to attend weekly as part of our self-care program for years to come.“

“Suffered with frozen shoulder for over 9 months and just one acupuncture treatment with Dr. Gary and 90% better and slept pain free. He is my life saver!“

“Professional electroacupuncture/chiropractic clinic. The doctors are nice, attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. Efficient service. Medical insurance helps a lot. The waiting room is a bit small, but usually not many people are waiting in there at a time.“

“If you have TMJ and cannot find anything that is helping or are unable to get any sort of relief, you need to read this and go see Dr. Kim! She literally changed my life and after a couple weeks proved that I can live a pain-free life with TMJ. You do not need to live in pain every day and their are people out there that can help. The amount of money I spent on dentists, mouth guards and every other treatment under the sun for TMJ doesn't hold a candle to what Dr. Kim was able to do for me in just a couple weeks.

There is something very special about Dr. Kim, her office and her practice. She leads with gratitude and a true desire to want to help. She asks and listens to what your concerns are each and every visit and has a true passion for medicine. Your very first appointment will consist of a through understanding of the reason for your visit. From there, she will take a unique approach in targeting your problem areas and making sure there is a path forward that actually provides relief.

She is prioritizes patient care and not greed. She is a rare gem out in a world of darkness who actually wants to help and see people get better. I could write pages about how this one person helped me to live a life without pain, but I will try to keep this short and sweet.

Dr. Kim, thank you for running an exceptional practice, prioritizing those who need help, and being a true blessing to medicine. You are pure magic.“

“Finally went to see Terri after referrals from multiple friends that she is a miracle worker. Being a little older and still trying to work out like a 20 yr old I have multiple issues going on. The way she works thru it all and discusses her findings while she works will help me well beyond the visit. I will be going back.“

“I am so grateful to Dr. Ping for how she helped me recover from depression. Many years ago, I was depressed for about 5-6 years, and I tried many different things to feel better, like the conventional antidepressants, as well as some other not-so-healthy coping mechanisms that were just making things worse. Finally, I decided to look for a natural solution, and learned about acupuncture being effective in treating depression. I tried several acupuncturists, before meeting Dr. Ping, but didn't really feel much benefit. I heard about Dr. Ping from a friend who told me about her own healing from being treated by Dr. Ping, and she highly recommended I call her. I did so the next day, and while talking to Dr. Ping on the phone, I asked her if she'd been able to help people with depression. She answered yes with such confidence that I immediately felt hopeful and scheduled to see her ASAP. Without any exaggeration, after literally two or maybe three visits, I remember sitting in my car in the parking lot and experiencing the release of an energy that rose up my spine, and feeling JOY for the first time in 5-6 years!! Even though this happened in 2008, I still remember the feeling, and I was so relieved and happy. I believe the depression was the result of a stuck energy somewhere in my body, perhaps in my spine, and after that release, the depression was gone. I continued to see Dr. Ping for many more sessions for other issues including anxiety, and I really got to know what kind of practitioner she is. The most striking things are her vibrant energy and undivided attention she gives you. She really cares, and spends quality time with you trying to understand the issue to try to help you. I feel so lucky to have met her, and I honestly have not been depressed since then, and it's been fifteen years. Dr. Ping also taught me so many things I can do for self-healing that I still remember, such as massaging my ears to stimulate my entire body (reflexology), chi-gong meditation to calm myself, and nutritional advice to aid digestion. She is a wealth of knowledge, and is obviously passionate about helping her patients. This review is long overdue, but better late than never. Dr. Ping has come back in life because I was looking for a natural solution for my mom's eye conditions, and I am confident that Dr. Ping can help her. I was in the room with my mother and Dr. Ping yesterday, and feeling Dr. Ping's presence again made me feel happy and supported.“

“Dr. Zhang is caring for me. I have not found a better doctor that really knows real Chinese Medicine. He also showed me some very helpful exercise maneuvers that really help. He is a professional. It is amazing what Dr. Zhang can do for arthritis.“

“I'm coming to Eric for several months now with sciatica pain so strong that I was unable to walk. I felt a visible improvement after the fifth visit, Eric is patient, gentle, very understanding and knows what he is doing, I am delighted with his knowledge. He is amazing , strongly recommended to anyone.“

“Dr. Dah is great and helps me with my adjustments and lower back pain. The staff are friendly and helpful.“

“I've been seeing Dr Wang for over 25years. Best Herbs, Acupuncture treatment. Hands down best care around.“

“So happy that they have reopened! I was recommended to Dr. Lee by three separate friends all in OC who all benefitted greatly from their practice—I kept checking to see when the practice would reopen.

I have been having horrible menstrual pain over the last few years. Patricia was so warm and patient in listening to my story. She gave me a some herbs to take and after four treatments, I am excited to report that my pain has gone from 10 out of 10 to barely even noticeable. I haven’t been this pain free in years!! Very grateful and will be recommending to my friends and family as well.“

“Highly recommend Dr Kang. Got treatment for neck pain Ive had for years - a combination of chiropractic and acupuncture treatments. Improvements and comfort were felt quickly, and I didn't need massages anymore. Unfortunately, I have now moved out of state and miss my follow ups.“

“It's been long over due reviewing this clinic. My whole family have been to this great herbal clinic for decade from herbal medicines to acupunctures depending on the symptoms-- the medical conditions that could hardly be identified by the western medicine. All doctors here have been always honest, punctual, courteous, not to mention all the effective treatments that really do help your own body heal the symptoms. Strongly recommended.“

“This is a beautiful women owned yoga studio. I've been a member almost since they opened about 10 years ago. This has been my second home and a sanctuary for difficult times. I came here to learn how to calm my mind and stretch my muscles, but I have learned so much more. The new space is beautiful and offers a great sitting area to sit and chat with yogi friends. I've taken advantage of all the classes they offer: flow, gentle, aromatherapy, kundalini and the roll and restore. They are all wonderful. Instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and frequently offer adjustments or modifications for your practice. I have made many friends and genuinely feel like I have community. I've tried yoga at other studios, but I really enjoy the blend of philosophy, meditation, chanting, and strength building here. I'm so grateful for the studio!“

“Everyone who works here is so very helpful and friendly. The experience is always so pleasant. I had my first acupuncture appointment here which went nicely and the doctor was extremely kind and friendly. The chiropractic doctor is very kind and gentle when realigning everything. So glad I don't have to look elsewhere for my chiropractic needs!“

“Thank you thank you thank you..
Excellent service, very clean and the staff very friendly and charismatic.
My health has improved, now I can do my activities....“
