Acupuncture in San Mateo

“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.“

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

“The ozone injections have been great! I was in Disneyland for two days 12+ hour days walked all day no problem. Suggested treatment was six injections, but I felt so much better after just one. I am on number five and my knee is almost at 100%.“

“Great place for acupuncture! I have been going here for more than 10 years. They have helped me through many different ailments and I always leave feeling better. There is free parking in the garage below. All the acupuncturists are kind and caring. I have also brought my entire family here.“

“Laureen is amazing! She did wonders to relieve my neck tension and migraine. I really liked the essential oils she used. I would recommend Lauren's treatments to everyone!“

“Michelle is kind gentle and very knowledgeable at what she does. She takes the time to answer all my questions and inform me about the treatment. I already see a difference in my face and I've only seen her twice. My skin looks smoother and rejuvenated. During the session I also feel i get more out of it. I feel so relaxed and better over all. She's amazing and I'm definitely a forever customer.“

“Dr. Wu is an incredibly professional, empathetic, skillful and effective acupuncturist. I've been getting treatments from him for several months for stenosis in my back and it has definitely improved. The pain I used to feel consistently in my hips, calves, ankles and feet has noticeably diminished. But he has also helped with sleep patterns and stress. One of the best things about Dr. Wu is his listening skills. He asks lots of questions every session about my physical well-being but also about general life issues I'm dealing with. He is patient and never makes me feel rushed. He seems to listen carefully and also seems to care about the answers. I highly recommend him if you need acupuncture, whether you know you do or not!“

“I found Kimberly on Google and I'm so glad I did. Her professionalism and caring personality is remarkable. She is working with me to get healthy, eating right along with acupuncture. It has made a difference. Anyone wanting to start 2023 on a healthy note I would suggest calling her.“

“Vivian is truly one of a kind! She is the most caring person and she is so amazing at what she does! She is extremely knowledgeable in her practice and she has helped me with my chronic pain for the last few years. Her space is very calming and she always makes sure you are comfortable during your appointment. I highly recommend Vivian!!“

“A few weeks ago, I experienced severe, unbearable sciatica pain and had to take painkillers to manage it. After about four sessions with Dr. Jordan Savara, the pain has significantly diminished, and I no longer need painkillers. During my sessions, Dr. Savara was incredibly patient, attentive, and supportive, which showed me how passionate he is about his work. Beyond his professional skills, he is very approachable and easy to talk to. Thank you, Dr. Savara!“

“I have been seeing Dr Ye off an on for years now. She was recommended to me by multiple friends, they went to her with different hardships caused by black-mold, car-crash caused concussion, tooth pain etc. She helped with my skin issues and helped lowering stress levels as well.“

“I have been seeing Dr. Chen for a few months now due to excruciating pain in my lower back and sciatica radiating down my right leg. He recommended a regenerative procedure called PRF which has transformed my life. I am about 90% pain free with very infrequent sciatica symptoms. I love that he is all about regenerative medicine and alternative treatments (acupuncture, red light therapy). His long term goal for me is healing from within....which completely aligns with my beliefs. His staff is incredibly attentive and always makes sure I am completely cared for and comfortable during my office visits. I am excited for my second PRF treatment next week as I have felt tremendous relief from the first one. I strongly recommend Dr. Chen's care and I know his staff will take great care of you, as well!“

“My mom, grandma, & I went in for full body massages, and we all had amazing masseuses. They got all the knots and tightness out of our bodies. I had Jessie, and she was wonderful. All of the staff were so welcoming & kind. We will definitely return.“
