I am very happy to recommend Dr. Lina Hu to anyone who is seeking acupuncture treatment, especially…read morethose who, like myself, have never tried it before and may be skeptical of its effectiveness. She is always on time with her appointments, her manner is most welcoming and calming, and her treatment rooms are clean and neat. I went to Dr. Hu over six months ago because I could not get relief for the pain and numbness in my leg that was caused by slipping on black ice in February of 2015. I tried chiropractic treatments, but the numbness remained. Before I resorted to the opioids and nerve blocks of traditional medicine, my sister (a functional medicine specialist) suggested that, if I tried acupuncture, my numbness might go away.  I did; it did. It was like a miracle. I am able to walk again without discomfort. Dr. Hu's skill in using the appropriate treatment regimen has been so satisfying that I intend to continue working with her to take advantage of her skill in using acupuncture to promote overall well-being.  While I still don't know how those needles work, I do get the point--pain relief, renewed energy, and overall well-being.

As someone who has a great respect for energy healing practices, in general, it was important to me to find the right practitioner. When I finally made the appointment, I had been trying other means to alleviate pain that I was experiencing-- physical therapy, various medicines/ supplements, rest, yoga, strength training-- you name it, I was doing it, and nothing helped. Until I found Dr. Lu's office. I found relief after my very first appointment. I had been struggling with knee and leg pain, as well as back and shoulder pain for more months than I could count. Now that I've found relief, they can't get rid of me.

I believe it was the following day after my community event that I made my first 1-on-1 appointment and learned that my insurance will cover my treatments.

I highly recommend Mend!!

However, always give it a try, it seriously does not hurt and this practice is extremely peaceful, calm, and relaxing. All of the acupuncturist are extremely professional and they all care so much about their patients. They also offer bodyworks such as different type of massages that are geared towards relaxation. Remember they are NOT a spa. If your insurance does not cover acupuncture, they also offer community which is way cheaper. Overall, mend is the best place for one-on-one acupuncture. I would recommend black sheep in Rosedale, MD if you want a great community acupuncture. They have a $15-30 sliding scale for there community, so it's more affordable.

After two…read moremiscarriages, five unsuccessful IVF egg retrieval cycles, and not much remaining hope, we scheduled a consultation with Angie for help with fertility. Although we weren't very hopeful, we thought acupuncture could at least help to get my cycle normalized again after the rollercoaster of IVF stimulation hormones. Angie recommended a 6-month program of acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbs. After 4 months, she told us we might consider trying again, we did, and voilà, we were pregnant. We kept expecting things to go wrong, but they didn't. Fast forward just over a year from when we started with Angie, and our happy, healthy baby was born. We are forever grateful. Beyond fertility treatments, I would trust Angie at her word; if she believes she can help you, she more than likely can. Throughout my visits, she helped with myriad other issues that popped up in the day-to-day. I continued my visits with her for support through the first trimester and started up again during the third trimester. Angie's a gifted healer and goes out of her way to help. Her office is always spotlessly clean and a tranquil, relaxing environment. All of her team are consistently kind and professional. You can't go wrong in seeking treatment here.

I was not worried until I had a big bruise on my face for about 9 days! Everywhere I went people asked me about it. Freaked me out. Also bad: Office is unable to provide easy way to submit to Flexible spending accounts (FSAs). Patients OOP is separate from the superbills, and they email the Superbills separately, creating a huge job for patient. I had seven visit and had to make 3 calls and deal with 14 different emails in order to submit. I gave up. Seems like a healthcare company could do better given the expansive use of FSA/HSA reimbursement. Also bad: When looking at the superbill it said I was there for the treatment of pain. I did not seek accupuncture for pain. I did not have much pain, I suspect they did this to garner insurance coverage. Pain was only a very small part (or no part) of the reason I sought care. And while I was happy they got the treatments covered, it made me uneasy Also bad: A provider called me to speak to me about the hematomia after I reported it (oddly not the provider who gave it to me) When I called back, they never returned my call. Darn, I wanted to love this place and continue treatment, but too many issues

I found Dr. Ma on yelp, made an appointment, and after a few treatments the pain was finally gone. She did acupuncture followed by cupping and massage and performed a miracle. I had been in pain for so long with this and it was finally gone. I always tell her she has 'magic hands' and have gone to her for many other issues since. I'm very active and she helps keep me in shape. Because of her background as a medical doctor as well as acupuncturist, she knows instantly where to place the needles and/or do any cupping to relieve the pain and speed up the healing. In addition to all this, Dr. Ma is a wonderful, caring, and kind person and I feel so lucky to have found her!

I decided to try acupuncture and specifically looked for an acupuncturist trained in China. I had tried acupuncture before for migraines and the Western trained doc didn't help at all but the Chinese trained doc I tried after worked wonders but is now retired. After the first treatment I noticed a significant improvement and after four treatments I was almost 100 percent. It took a while for full recovery because we had to find the cause but we did and I am now without pain and have full mobility. Dr. Ma is kind and gentle and didn't hurt me with the needles. Her office is clean and relaxing. If you are in pain call Dr. Ma, she probably can help.
