Menghe Wellness & Acupuncture - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

May 2023

This is a review for Dr. Harry Ding, who treated me at a different location. I saw several skilled acupuncturists for my condition through a hospital and I felt that his was the most effective treatment. I had no idea about nuances in acupuncturist education throughout treatment and so was not swayed by his impressive background when going into the appointments. I appreciated Dr. Ding's careful attention to my concerns, and thorough explanations of TCM diagnosis and treatment. He has a very caring and attentive bedside manner. He also used needles that were either thinner or less perceptible than others', but no less effective. I felt very deep relaxation during treatments, it was almost a drug-like effect. I was quite shocked that the general wellness approach happened to help my stubborn insomnia of 2+ year duration, and anxiety greatly, which wasn't a stated goal of treatment. I felt this after about 3-4 treatments which were spread out over months due to holidays (though not all were with Dr. Ding.) Subsequently I looked into the medical literature and there are indeed medical literature reviews showing acupuncture is helpful for insomnia after just 3 weeks - ... not that one needs confirmation in western literature, but it's gratifying when they align. Anyway, I'm a convert and am excited to pursue acupuncture more long-term for health maintenance. I hope to come to this clinic once my insurance changes. We are quite lucky to have such skilled practitioners in the bay.

I have been seeing Dr. Harry Ding For over 8 years and counting. Even after moving to the East Bay I still make the drive out to the Peninsula to see him. It's an almost guarantee that he will help with my back pain. I know if the pain doesn't subside in one visit, it's probably a bad case and needs some extensive care. I've tried local acupuncturists and I just no longer bother trying to find someone as knowledgeable and great as Dr Ding
