“I have been going to Truve for classes since 2017 and I remain a loyal fan. Classes I have taken include TRX, dance, various iterations of Bootcamp and HIIT. The instructors are now friends after all this time. Come and check it out“

“Jenny is a genius! She has helped me so much. I value her accupuncture treatments as well as her depthful knowledge about nutrition and complex treatment approaches--this combination of knowledge makes her my primary care provider!“

“Fanny’s facials are the best! I’ve been getting regular facials for several months and my skin is so healthy and glowy.
Fanny is very knowledgeable and professional, and also so gentle, calm and nurturing. She always follows up to check on how I’m doing afterwards.
Her office is clean and inviting. I’m already looking forward to my next appointment because it’s such a relaxing experience, and my skin is looking progressively healthier after each visit!
Thank you Fanny! So happy I found you!“

“My journey with Root & Stem integrative Chinese Medicine is one of the best experiences. Every time I go I leave feeling better & better. And, I've noticed that my days of being in less pain or pain free are more. I am eternally grateful for this group of AMAZING Dr's.“

“weekly acupuncture treatments are the best and I advise everyone to get cupping as well.“

“I started coming here for TCM health care every week a couple months ago and have been seen by Jen and Chris so far. I am blown away by their level of professionalism and expertise. I've seen at least a dozen acupuncturists over the years, but never have I been to a practice like this where quality is consistent. Everyone that works here takes what they do seriously and they treat you with respect and care, including Sylk, Rebecca, and Perla. If I could give them all 10 stars I would... although I hope there will still be room for me in their calendars. =)“

“I was having random nerve pain all throughout my hands due to trimming pot for years. 2-3 weeks later after one session it completely went away. I've tried to be cheap and go to other acupuncturists and its a waste of time. I've been back for back pain and for my forearm from playing guitar. Also, sometimes you leave in more pain that will last for a few hours but after a couple weeks its like nothing ever happened. I would fly across the country to see him. Hes a straight up healer. I tell everybody I know about him.“

“I have been to two other highly rated fertility acupuncture specialists in the east bay and I can easily say Shirliey is by far the best. I started seeing her a year and a half ago when I had a failed embryo transfer and my spirits were low. Her empathy, kindness, and grace allowed me to heal in a way that helped my mind and body to be in a much better place. Not with any type of Chinese herbs or magical solutions but with better eating, daily habits, and with her care I was able to have an incredibly successful retrieval followed by a successful transfer. I can't thank Shirliey enough for all that she has done for me. Thank you Shirliey for everything.“

“I've been seeing Larisa since January 2023, and she has been a tremendous support through various aspects of my life. Her care and treatments have significantly improved my overall quality of life. Larisa is extremely knowledgeable and always takes the time to understand my unique needs. She goes above and beyond for her patients, offering both objective guidance and kind support. I always look forward to my sessions, knowing I'm in good hands. I highly recommend Larisa to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled acupuncturist who truly cares about her patients' well-being!“

“Dr. Rachel is great, especially for women looking for fertility support. She really listens to your concerns and goals and takes meticulous notes. She was able to recommend me out to an amazing Endometriosis specialist which I am so grateful for. Thank you for all you do!“

“I just had a wonderful first treatment at Tune Up with Eun and I absolutely loved it. Eun is such a kindhearted person that clearly really wants to help people. The setting was calm and beautiful and I really benefited from my treatment. My lungs feel so much better - thank you Eun!“

“I saw Camille for a specific issue and received an initial treatment including massage and acupuncture. Not only did the treatment work but it relieved my symptoms for a few years! I have gone back for general upkeep and relaxation and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend her do general wellness and targeted issues.“

“As an athlete and fitness/yoga professional for almost 30 years, acupuncture has always played a crucial role in my recovery, injury prevention, and treatment. I found Ross Acupuncture a little over a year ago, and it has been an absolute game-changer!! Jen is incredibly knowledgeable and has helped relieve countless nagging and acute issues. I have hypermobile ligaments/tendons, flat feet, and I put in between 10-20+ hours of training a week, so I put a TON of wear and tear (and stress!) on my body. I am also super prone to things like plantar fasciitis as a flat-footed runner and Jen has been a lifesaver on more than many occasions when things flare up. She has also been able to get to the root of some of the injuries I've had off and on for a long time. Full transparency: treatment may not be the most comfortable all the time. Sometimes you might not feel it, sometimes it may be rather intense -- especially if you're coming for injury/pain. But, if you're an athlete (or even just active) and want to return to training, it is beyond worth it when your issues are resolved within just a few treatments (or sometimes in one session!) She often does stim on the needles which is my absolute favorite part. I find that this method to yield the best results for me. Tbh, I can't say enough good things about this clinic or Jen! I recommend her to my students and friends when they have issues come up. Side note: I have also done the facial acupuncture with Renee and recommend that as well! That's definitely a much more relaxing experience . If you're looking for an acupuncturist who can really dive deep into whatever aches and pains brought you to inquire about acupuncture, you've found the right place!“

“Dr. Wei Wei has a positive spirit and a calming presence. She is kind and has a healing touch. I'm grateful I get to experience acupuncture in this way.“

“Prajna is the best! My acupuncture sessions always address my chief complaints - physical or emotional - and improve my energy. I feel balanced, restored, refreshed, or recharged every session. She also recommends Chinese/holistic medicine I can buy or order on site as needed for any ailments I may experience. 10/10 highly recommend!“

“I've been going to Mizu acupuncture and wellness for about a year now and Nhu's care and knowledge is unbeatable. I always see her when I'm in the Bay and leave with an amazing experience. Booking is super easy and simple. Would recommend if you're looking for acupuncture in the Bay.“

“Wanda is a really gifted healer. She has a truly extensive knowledge base of both healing and wellness promotion, matched with a warm and caring intuition and empathy. Her acupuncture treatments are done with gentleness and expertise and followed by extensive notes and advice for life style & dietary management. The clinic is bright, beautiful, spotlessly clean and graced with changing art exhibitions. This is a healing place.“

“Been at Lee Chiropractic for years and recently had a chance to see Dr. Yvonne who has taken over the practice. She was thorough and made sure to address all the reasons why I came in. Highly recommended and will definitely return for more visits with her.“

“David Heron saved my life, twice. I caught covid two years ago and had many long lasting complications. My immune system was messed up and I had itchy, painful rashes on 80% of my face and body. I was very depressed and stayed home most of the time. When I did go out, I covered my face and body. I came to finally see David and try Chinese medicine when I knew Western Medicine was killing me. They kept diagnosing me wrong and gave me a ton of steroids, topical and oral. When I came to see David, my skin was at the worst. I had TSW ( Topical Steroid Withdrawal). Itchy, painful rashes on 80% of my body. For 5 months, I slept less than 3 hours a day. I had to walk around with ice packs and even sleep with ice packs. I cried every single day. I googled TSW and Oakland Hills Acupuncture popped up. David had helped others with TSW before so he has a lot of experience. For the first few months the Chinese medicine he concocted helped a lot. I saw him every two weeks. But suddenly my immune system went crazy and I had a crazy flare up. It was really painful and itching like crazy. I went to see David and he knew exactly what it was . I had a severe fungal skin infection that invaded my skin . From then on, my skin just kept healing and healing for the next 6 months! He also recommended me many natural creams and lotions that also helped a lot. Sometimes I felt like he was my therapist for that 1 hour appointment. He's very easy to talk to and I would feel hopeful that I will be okay, normal again soon. From the beginning of my whole covid complication ordeal , he told me it was a fungal complication and the steroids that were prescribed to me just made it worse and worse. It finally made sense to me why none of the topical steroids or prednisone was working for me these past two years. I wish I saw David Heron first two years ago! In Chinese culture, we call him " Guì rěn", which means savior. I am so thankful that God sent him to save me.“

“I have seen many acupuncturists and was about to give up, but thought I'd take one last try and see Hong. Boy was I glad! Hong is a true professional and integrates nutrition, and other aspects of my health as he sets out his treatment plan for the day. I was still a bit skeptical on my first visit till about 30 minutes in. My condition involves pain and weakness of my leg. He set most of the pins and asked if there was still pain when he moved my leg. There was still pain, so he said ah ha! Then moved to the other side of my body and carefully placed another single pin into my left hand. Then moved my leg again and there was no pain whatsoever! I was flabbergasted at his procession and the immediate release of pain. I've been seeing him for a few months now with great improvement in pain reduction and mobility. I would highly recommend Hong for all your Accupressure health needs. Thank you, Hong!“

“Traci is the best acupuncturist I've worked with (I've seen six different acupuncturists over the years). She is knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. I appreciate how she takes the time to really investigate and understand what is going on with you and determine the best treatment. I've been seeing her to treat persistent frozen shoulder and have gotten significant improvement.“

“The gentleman Dr. Li-Chun Ou (pronounced Dr. "Oh") has his business card depicted in the Photo Section. You can see that he is a traditional OMD and practices a very wide variety of modalities. The business card and the address number next to his door shows you are at 3905 Grand Ave. As you walk in the door, you see a more than life size golden manikin with meridians and points. If you call 510-420-0463, you get the woman at the front desk sitting behind the large golden manikin. She will likely book your appointment for the same day you call. This is quite unusual in most acupuncturist settings except for those trained in China as hospital doctors. Dr. Ou is set up to treat multiple patients at the same time. Dr. Ou will provide very thorough diagnosic protocols and can provide you with acupuncture, Tui Na (Chinese physical therapy massage), cupping and prescibe an herbal formula patent medicine that you can take home and use. Treatment often begins with Dr. Ou's gentleman associate who performs the Tui Na massage, and then Dr. Ou sets the needles and sometime the cupping. I would say that collectively the massage therapist and Dr. Ou are still engaged in diagnosis as they treat you and the treatment gets more refined and effective. I have most often in the two dozen times I've seen Dr. Ou gotten full or very significant resolution to my medical issues. Finally there's the price. I always get the "works": acupuncture, massage, cupping and medicine. When I first came 20 years ago, it was $90 for the total experience, and now in 2024 it's $120. That's a very reasonable price for such an extensive treatment. I'm more motivated to see Dr. Ou because I know he will see me most often on the same day if I call early enough. I can also go back to him on subsequent days if we need to take the treatment further. If you call in the morning or early afternoon, you'll most likely see Dr. Ou that same day. I agree with other reviewers that Dr. Ou is a very empathetic physician. You get the complete package when you come to him.“

“I started with Kelsey a couple years ago and completed a 6 month health coaching program with her. She is warm, easy to talk to and meets you exactly where you are while gently nudging you in the direction you want to go. I genuinely felt like she believed in me and was rooting for me at every turn. I still reflect back on the insights I gained working with her and encourage anyone looking to grow and step into their power to reach out to her.Fast forward to now: I see Kelsey for acupuncture that is nothing short of magnificent. Her space is beautiful and soothing, warm and inviting just like her. She even sneaks in some coaching while working with you if you're open to it. 10/10 recommend her services.“

“You can't beat their service and integrity ! Don't take my word for it ! This healing modality requires a lot of skill and dedication. We are blessed !“

“I have been coming here for a few years, but most recently for treatment of arthritis pain in my ankle and stress, sometimes for tight neck and shoulder pain from too much computer work. I'm really delighted to receive treatment from Emery. He is very patient and caring. He has really helped me with treating and lessening my body pain. I tend to not take pain meds so coming here has been really helpful in my pain management. My ailments have improved a lot. I highly recommend Emery at the Laurel location for acupuncture treatment.“
