Every experience I’ve had with David has been positive. He is kind and very knowledgeable helping me to heal inside and out, spiritually, emotionally and physically. Thank you!

ALIVE acupuncture is worth the trip downtown! Mary is exceptional at her job as are the whole team. She is extremely knowledgeable and an amazing advocate for women's health and health in general. Mary is warm, kind, patient and personable, taking the time to listen carefully and never making me feel rushed. Additional extras like heated pads during appointments, soothing music, red light therapy mean I always leave feeling better, both physically and emotionally.
She has supported me through two pregnancies, postpartum and beyond. I have been to other practitioners who work closer to me but continue to return to Mary and her colleagues as their expertise, personalized care and compassion are truly unparalleled . Highly recommend!

Mary is like a magician! I’ve seen lots of different acupuncturists through my life but no one is like her. The sessions are so relaxing and she really takes the time to listen to your concerns and needs. Incredible professional and human, very knowledgeable, kind and caring!! I’m so glad I found her, really changed my life! Absolutely love this place and I highly recommend!

I began acupuncture for the first time a number of weeks ago. The receptionist Annie was welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. Dr Mary Wong is a positive force of nature. A friend of mine recommended Mary as she knew I was going through a lot of stress. Mary’s treatments and are very effective. The whole vibe of the place works, and I look forward to my weekly visits. 5+ stars!. Greg

All the acupuncture staff have been wonderful through the years. Every visit feels like therapy for the mind and soul in how calm I feel as I walk out. They have been a trusted partner for me through various fertility journeys. Highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Alive Holistic for a couple of months now, twice a week, and working with Mary Wong has been an exceptional experience. I’ve tried acupuncture with several practitioners before, and she is by far the best I’ve had.
Mary is incredibly friendly and genuinely engaged during each session. She really listens and tailors the treatment in a way that feels thoughtful and precise. What stood out to me most is how quickly I feel the effects. The needles seem to work almost immediately, something I didn’t experience with others.
The whole experience feels both effective and calming at the same time. I’ve had such a positive experience that my husband also decided to go there, and he loves it as much as I do.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a skilled and attentive acupuncturist!

Mary Wong at ALIVE has been my go-to health coach since 2004. She originally guided me through fertility treatments and pregnancy, and more recently, we reconnected for menopause support. Mary has met every challenge with compassion, professionalism, and incredible skill. I am so grateful to have a partner in my long-term health who so expertly combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with a deep understanding of modern research.

I was very appreciative of my treatment by Aik Kim who took great care to delve into my somewhat complex history to manage my musculoskeletal issues.
I felt my exam was comprehensive, professional and assessment of my issues very well considered.
I received acupuncture treatment that was very effective and done soundly with minimal discomfort. I dislike acupuncture so this is high praise! I am feeling remarkably better this morning as I tend to this receiw. I will return for more treatment as needs be.
As an addendum to this review I am transferring my care to this clinic as my long term holistic Chinese practitioner passed away several months ago. David Bray was my Chinese herbal and acupuncture specialist for years. It was a shocking loss of an expert, talented practitioner.
I found out this clinic from word of mouth from other patients of mine who trusted this clinic to continue the work that David did.
