Amara has been my number one experience in the healthcare/wellbeing world so far (and likely for good). She's gone above and beyond for me as a patient. For starters, she dove deep into my medical history/records, ensuring she captured all the details correctly and missed nothing. I was surprised she remembered every small detail I had told her, given that my issue is a 7-year-old neuropathy + CRPS combo. Due to the complexity of my condition, she tried different Chinese medicine approaches and strategies. I have no doubt other practitioners would have dismissed me as a patient (and they actually did) because of not seeing quick results. Instead, she proactively consulted mentors and trusted colleagues to get feedback and other perspectives on my condition. Thanks to Amara's not giving up and her continued treatment, I can now enjoy a lower pain level phase and just have an easier day-to-day life. It makes a huge difference to my family and me. On top of my chronic issue, I once woke up with very scary tunnel-syndrome-like symptoms in my good limb. I really freaked out because I could not afford to lose any more function or tolerate any more pain. Fortunately, I was seeing Amara that same day. To my astonishment, she got rid of the issue in that one session. Boom. Symptoms fully gone the morning after. I really could not believe it. I thought I would need to embark in another never-ending healthcare nightmare. Had I known Amara when my neuropathy + CRPS first started, my last 7 years would have been so different... All of the above would already make an outstanding healthcare experience. However, what definitely sets Amara apart is that SHE CARES. As a patient, I never felt like a number, a checklist, or a protocol sheneeded to get over with. It does make a difference to her if I am in more or less pain, if something in my week flared up my symptoms, whether my camping trip impacted my pain, and so on. And she'll do whatever she can to help me. I am so grateful to Amara. I just hope that more people in pain out there can get to her practice much sooner than I did. read more

This recommendation is long overdue. A few years ago, I received fertility acupuncture at Annie's (note: my account is under my husband's name). My OB-GYN had referred me, and at the time, I was determined to give everything my best shot - I wanted to try just once and make use of every resource available. I had such a wonderful experience. My IVF process went smoothly, and I was incredibly fortunate to have a baby girl on the first try. Of course, many factors contribute to success, but I truly believe choosing Annie's was one of the best decisions I made. The sessions helped me feel more relaxed and less stressed throughout the journey. I only wish I lived closer. I'd love to return for regular treatments. read more

I've seen several practitioners here and have received tremendous relief, primarily from digestive, stress, pain and cycle issues. Thank-you Team for your healing hands and comforting experience. Plus points for the plants and décor, they must know a thing or two about feng shui in addition to Chinese Medicine ;) read more

I suffered from nausea for 18 weeks during my last pregnancy. I first started getting treated by Amara during the worst of it (weeks 12-18). I highly recommend Amara if you're new to acupuncture. She used minimal needles (sometimes as little as 5-6 per treatment) and was very gentle. She's soft-spoken and her treatments reflect the same gentleness. While acupuncture didn't completely eliminate the nausea, I ALWAYS felt better right after the treatment. I felt more relaxed, less nauseated and was able to eat a full meal (and keep it down). I would say that the nausea/vomiting went down at least 40-50% for 1-2 days following treatment. For anyone who has experienced this before, ANY relief is amazing when you are always miserable... Even after the nausea decreased and eventually went away, I continued to get treatment throughout the pregnancy. Sometimes for back pain, sometimes for insomnia, and just general pregnancy support. The office has ample parking, a peaceful and calming environment and I love that I can book online at my own convenience. Any questions I emailed were addressed within a few days. They do take insurances, but unfortunately my policy did not cover Acupuncture. So I paid out of pocket (happily). read more

Annie Wang Acupuncture - My lil Acu-baby that kept me sick for 18 weeks! He's 3 months old now, and still keeping mom busy! :) - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Altos, California

Their practitioners are awesome! Knowledgeable lifelong learners, attentive listeners and thorough readers of patient files, and kindly send me instructions on the web portal for use of TCM herbs (sold in oil from here). If you want to ask me about how this group helped me in my fertility journey, then feel free to message me. Excellent too are the office support and Jane app (appointment management). read more

Annie is an intuitive, caring, and expert practitioner. Her office is spa-like! Comfortable and restoring, each room is equipped with warming pads and heat lamps to keep you cozy during rest. I forgot my own eye mask a couple of times, and Annie gave me an aromatherapy towel as a substitute. I have a chronic issue with my menses, which doctors could not treat (birth control changed my brain chemistry, IUD gave me intense migraines, and I was told to "just" get a hysterectomy, "no side effects" they said!). Annie has me feeling substantially improved within a couple of cycles, all without the rampant side-effects typical of Western treatments. I especially appreciate that I am treated as a whole person here and not just a uterus. I highly recommend this practice! read more

I started my acupuncture treatment with Annie about 3 years ago after a miscarriage. I have a 1-year old now. Annie is a warm and supportive acupuncturist during my fertility treatment journey: 1. I was pretty stressed out with fertility and also work at that time. Every week I went to the treatment, Annie listened to my stress and pain and shared her insights. I usually fell asleep during the acupuncture and woke up feeling charged. It was always a good relief talking with her. 2. She was very resourceful and share information about diet, exercise and other doctors. I read a lot of books about fertility and found out Annie has already summarized everything. 3. I always feel lighter and more comfortable after the acupuncture. Qi seems to flow better in my body. It's a valuable journey and experience. I highly recommend Annie. read more

I started going to Annie for acupuncture treatment from 2 years ago. I highly recommend this place because: 1- Annie is a very knowledgeable acupuncturist. She also helped me to changed my diet for the best. The combination of healthy diet and acupuncture treatments has improved my health and severe migraine headaches. 2- Annie is very warm and welcoming. No matter what is your condition or mood, she always sees you with a big smile and positive energy. She is not only a professional acupuncturist but also a dedicated surfer which can be very empowering when you visit her. 3- On my health journey there were many situations which I needed to deal with a very high level of ambiguity but she always shed some lights on the situation and help me to make the best decision. 4- Annie's office is clean and very well maintained. It always smells good which makes you feel comfortable. read more

Amara is caring, knowledgeable & a good listener. Her acupuncture expertise has greatly improved my pain situation. JMV read more

This review is extremely long overdue. I first sought out Annie and her team back in 2017 when I switched jobs that required a bulk of my time in an office with a computer and desk, and mostly sedentary. As a result, I had developed some pretty nasty neck, shoulder, and wrist pain that even transitioning to more ergonomic office furniture and wrist guards did nothing, and resorted to taking pain medication to keep things in check. That's when I sought out a different way of dealing with the pain. For my initial consultation, I saw Annie and I loved the way she explained how acupuncture works in such a simple manner. Every session after that was/is heavenly. Initially, I went three times a week and the staff worked their expertise until I was coming in once a week. Even after the pain subsided, I still continued with it for "overall maintenance." Since my initial visit, I have been treated by Annie and her amazing staff through all of life's big changes (i.e. marriage, baby, changing jobs, COVID, etc.) What started as visits for pain management became visits for self-care for mind, body, and soul. When COVID hit and the state went into SIP, I assumed the office was closed indefinitely. When I finally realized it had reopened, I immediately booked my appointments and it was the self-care that I/we were deprived of for so long. That first session in COVID reminded me of the feeling after my first acupuncture session ever - that immense sense of balance and the physical, spiritual and mental relief from life's stressors exiting the body. Every acupuncturists in the office is so caring, understanding, and truly takes their time to listen to what is ailing you, and then adjusts the needles accordingly. Some days I come in with almost no complaints while other days are chock full of pain and no two sessions are ever the same. To say that these ladies have transformed me for the better is an understatement. I truly owe so much gratitude to their amazing work. To those who are still unsure of whether acupuncture is "worth it" or wonders if it truly works, I love how the effects of acupuncture is felt immediately and your body and mind feels restored and balanced as soon as you leave the office. Often, my pain is gone or has subsided enough for me to not fixate on it. And that level of efficacy is second to none! I believe in Annie and her team, and in acupuncture itself, so much that I will and do pay out-of-pocket for their services even though my health care provider provides the service in house. Take advantage of their HSA payment option, as well as their package deals, if it applies to you! read more

I've been going to Annie Wang Acupuncture in Los Altos consistently for about a year now, for muscle aches and strains. (I work out a lot). The office is pretty nice and the staff is very helpful with scheduling and explaining how acupuncture works. The office is easy to find and tons of available parking. The treatments have been helpful in improving my range of motion and allow me to get back to working out sooner when i hurt myself. Would recommend highly recommended Annie Wang Acupuncture in Los Altos. read more

I am so so lucky to have found Annie Wang acupuncture! the providers are so gentle and compassionate. As a western health care provider, I'm always so impressed with their knowledge of pathology. this has been such a key part of my fertility journey and also general well being. Anna is truly so beautiful! read more

I have been to acupuncture several times throughout my life. It has been extremely helpful with menopause and migraine (and others smaller issues. ) I needed acupuncture last year for a heart arrhythmia and now that I am older and have some experience with various practitioners I shopped around. Annie Wang Acupuncture was recommended by practitioners that I respect and I was not disappointed! I have been working w Dr Anna Goldfarb who is a gem. She understands the principles of both eastern and western medicine. She is clear about the treatments and kind and effective. The clinic itself is clean and comfortable which is especially important in our almost post pandemic times. read more

Annie and her staff are very qualified. I found relief from a stubborn sleep problem and the sessions are so relaxing. You can feel your body processing , your energy shifting and your body healing. read more

I can't begin to describe how beginning my acupuncture journey with Annie Wang seven years ago was the best decision I've ever made. I was so stressed out and losing hope in becoming a mother. After three months of weekly visits I became pregnant. I continued the sessions even while pregnant. After that, over the years, I came for visits for a variety reasons, most recently in addressing an allergic skin reaction. Annie has addressed and solved my issues each and every time - even the ones that seemed impossible to resolve! I appreciate her attentiveness and taking everything into account. One little side note, since the pandemic there air purifiers in every room including the restroom, which I appreciate very much. Thank you Annie! read more

The practitioners here are amazing, kind, professional, knowledgeable, warm, hard-working, and incredibly thorough and thoughtful. I had horrible debilitating migraines all summer long, and Annie's staff really cured me. I love them! Please try acupuncture here if you haven't. (Especially for headaches!) read more

I initially came to Annie Wang acupuncture as it was recommended following an IVF embryo transfer and I ended up sticking with weekly sessions with Jeannette through almost my entire pregnancy. I really enjoyed her approach to treatment incorporating both a western and eastern medicine perspective, always taking the time to explain what she was doing and why, as well as lifestyle recommendations to compliment the treatments. You can tell she really genuinely cares and I always looked forward to our sessions. I highly recommend Annie Wang Acupuncture and specifically Jeanette! read more

Annie Wang is exceptional! Her knowledge, compassion, and care has helped me for YEARS! I continue to work with Annie to seek treatment for an overall sense of balance/wellness, support around gi issues and stress management. I highly recommend Annie Wang Acupuncture! read more

Annie is caring, friendly and listen to your concerns. I have been coming to this place for more than a year. Highly recommended to anyone who is new to acupuncture. read more

I was referred to Annie Wang acupuncture after experiencing severe cholestasis of pregnancy in the second trimester. Amara worked wonders and brought the risk down to the point that my labs were normal within 2 weeks! The results were astonishing given that I'd never seen a normal lab test during pregnancy. Amara provided extensive information since it was my first time trying acupuncture and eased all my concerns. With a gentle, deliberate, and calming approach to care, she made treatment relaxing and effective. The office also has a very soothing ambiance. I look forward to continuing care through my pregnancy. Would highly recommend, especially to pregnant women. read more

This review is for Annie and it is long overdue. I started seeing Annie at the advice of my obgyn more than six years ago after suffering three miscarriages. Annie's treatment was one of the main reasons why I as able to finally achieve a successful pregnancy. Fast forward to now, I was suffering terrible migraines for the past two years. No medicine has been successful to make the migraines and subsequent nausea go away. I decided to recently start seeing Annie again about two months ago. After the first visit, I did not suffer any migraines or nausea for the next week. I continued with weekly treatments and for the past two months, I have only suffered a mild migraine that lasted briefly over two days (just a couple hours each day); otherwise I have been migraine and nausea free!!! As an added bonus, she has also made my eczema go away and has improved my digestion tremendously. Spicy foods and known "bad" foods that used to make me itchy or give me stomach issues is no longer a problem. On top of all this, Annie is the most kind and caring person. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and you can tell that she genuinely cares about all her patients. Annie is truly a miracle worker; I don't know what I would do without her! read more

I started seeing Annie for fertility support and a big, flaky, and seemingly permanent eczema patch on my neck that would not go away with medicine. With Annie's help, I now have a delightful and energetic toddler and that nasty eczema patch is gone. It had been a year and a half since I've seen Annie, but for my birthday, I treated myself to a re-centering tune up. The stress of COVID, a home remodel, a temporary move, distance learning, and spending 24/7 with my sweet and devilishly energetic little toddler had taken its toll on my energy and I was running on empty. Post-treatment, I spent my day and night in a Zen-like trance. So wonderful, so relaxing, so restful. All the "Mom! I need help logging on!!"-like comments just seemed to fade away. And, unlike a glass of wine, this kind of bliss does not add to your waistline. Highly recommended! read more

I can't recommend Annie and her exceptional team high enough! I was quite nervous about how I would handle the needles when I started one year ago but took the plunge and I'm hooked! Annie's technique is amazing! My anxiety, which had increased during this Covid crisis is under control, I'm sleeping better than ever and digestive issues have quieted! I found everything about this practice so warm, healing and caring both physically and mentally. They work in conjunction with whatever treatment you may be receiving from a medical doctor and are very knowledgeable about different conditions. I look forward to my now weekly visits (thank you insurance, which BTW they will bill for you). If you're thinking about acupuncture, I would strongly encourage you to set up an appointment with Annie or any of her practitioners! You won't be sorry!! read more

This review is for Annie and her team mates. Went to see her two years ago for fertility treatments. She spent a lot of time on initial visit with questionnaire that you filled. She provides many ideas for eating, life style and what's is good for fertility successfully. I have never feeling pain when she is doing acupuncture on me. She does very quickly when she puts all needles. Their clinic accepts many insurances, so if you are looking for acupuncturists in the Bay Area I'd really recommend Annie and her team. By the way, their clinic is very nice and clean. read more

This review is very late but we have had our hands full thanks to Annie Wang and team. Me and my husband were diagnosed with unexplained infertility about 2 years ago. Our fertility doctor was ready to do an IUI asap but since my AMH levels were good she agreed to let me wait for a couple of months. I started my research and we were already doing everything by the book like eating right, exercising, ovulating on time, etc. I read about acupuncture and fertility and thought it was worth a shot. My first session with Annie was great she pointed out some areas where she thought the problem could be and recommended some herbs after a few sessions. I also remember a food chart was provided and we read some books that were recommended. I trusted Annie and team and we did everything that was suggested by them and surprise we got pregnant the following month. I saw Annie most of my pregnancy until covid struck and everything was closed. All the sessions were great and relaxing. Annie made sure that I was comfortable during every session. I think I used way too many pillows to support my back and growing belly. My husband saw Annie and Janine for a few months and had a very similar experience. Thanks to Annie and team, we now have a healthy baby boy who just turned 6 months old few weeks ago. PS- If you are reading this review for a infertility related issue. I hope that your family is blessed very soon read more

LONG overdue review! Originally came to see Annie after several years of infertility treatments and IVF. I had changed to her practice after another great solo acupuncturist in San Carlos that was a 1 woman show, and just did not have good hours for fitting in acupuncture in my work schedule. Annie met me after 2 previously failed IVF transfers with high quality embryos, so I was struggling both emotionally and physically at that time. Despite all the loss, I really felt acupuncture care had been helping both my physical and mental health, so I started up with Annie for infertility support as I was gearing up for my 3rd transfer. Well... 3rd transfer stuck! We now have the most wonderful 17 month old little girl who is the light of our lives I really feel that working with Annie helped us to bring her into the world. Annie was really helpful in supporting me with acupuncture care and (fellow Mom advice) throughout the pregnancy. We even had some fun conversations about Chinese astrology, since I was working a lovely Chinese astrologer (The Modern Daoist) on timing my transfer, to give my 3rd transfer all the help it needed to stick. I ended up having significant nausea most of my pregnancy and I feel that treatment with acupuncture really helped my symptoms and also my anxiety about pregnancy after years of trying. In addition to being a skilled acupuncturist, Annie is just SO warm and knowledgeable about pregnancy AND infertility care. It was nice coming for treatments she would just know what stage we were in and how to support me. Everyone in the office is kind, the rooms are comfortable with pleasant music, heat lamps,blankets, for temperature regulation, etc. I also REALLY appreciate the online booking service, makes it way easier to fit treatments into my busy schedule. I am now back to see Annie for support in my 2nd pregnancy (bad nausea is back). Amazingly 2nd baby happened naturally and I'm happy to be coming back for some support and much needed self care to hopefully have another chill pregnancy thanks to acupuncture care here! I will likely been seeing a few of the other providers at this practice this time around and will update my review in the future. Highly recommend Annie Wang! read more

This review has been long overdue. I have been going to Anne's for over 2 years, almost 3 years now. She has helped me with finding optimal health and been there the entire journey. She has addressed several health aliments - irregular menstrual periods, hay fever, back pain relief, headaches, pain from my bicycle accident (due to another cyclists running a stop sign). She understands the balance between western and eastern medicines. She's my health cheerleader, always positive, friendly, and energetic. She finds solutions for me and always gives great advice. Currently I am 38 weeks pregnant and Annie will start induction points for me. As I mentioned, she's been there for me helping me along the way. My pregnancy was not the easiest with nausea/morning sickness, sinus congestion, headaches and swelling. Acupuncture on a regular basis has allowed me to have a tolerable pregnancy. Annie is not only my acupuncturist but has become a life long friend. I'm super happy and blessed to have our paths cross. Don't be scared of the needles, you get use to it and they also have different sizes. They don't hurt at all...this is coming from someone who hates needles and blood draws. read more

I came here for infertility acupuncture and am so grateful to have found such a supportive practice. After years of unsuccessful IVF transfers, I began treatments here and successfully became pregnant. I usually see Annie but have also had sessions with Anna & Amara. Everyone is so calm, knowledgeable and professional. Annie's sage advice mixed with light hearted humor makes every visit a joy. Amara went out of her way to see me on her day off as it was a critical time after my transfer which I will never forget. Anna has such a kind heart. I can't thank each of them enough as they all played an important part in making my dreams come true. read more

If you are looking for the best acupuncture experience you will ever get, go to Annie Wang Acupuncture. Annie is a true professional whose depth of knowledge and talent is something you get to benefit from first hand. I originally started seeing Annie back in 2007 for ulcer-related issues, adult acne, and a general downgrade of my health due to some very stressful life events. No doctor I had seen helped as much as Annie did - she continually helped me health improve to a point where I frankly didn't need that same specific treatment anymore. Interestingly, I had hurt my knee at the time, and I thought that it would be good to see her for a different topic to see if I might benefit from acupuncture in a different way. Up until the appointment, I couldn't walk down stairs because of the pain, so I hobbled down the stairs to go to the appointment. As soon as the treatment was done, I had no problem with my knee and was able to continue training for the marathon I was then training for. Fast forward - I moved to the east coast for 4 years - got caught up in new life activities and didn't seek out an acupuncturist as I just assumed no one could be as good as Annie. In a swift change of plans, life took us back to northern CA, and the very first thing I did (even before I knew when the movers were coming) was scheduled an appointment with Annie. I didn't even have a "reason" except just the sheer joy of having a treatment done that is such a deep, healing experience. Even if you don't have a particular acute need, I highly recommend acupuncture for increasing your overall health, and if you are going to invest in yourself in doing so, go to the best. read more

I sought them out because another professional recommended them. Amara is awesome, very gentle and knowledgeable! My primary issues were my feet hurting and my back too. My feet were better almost immediately! Progress depends on your body and mine really responds to acupuncture. They are very professional and they take time to understand you so that you can be matched with a professional who is most knowledgeable about your symptoms. I highly recommend them. read more

I have suffered from chronic shoulder and back pain related to stress for quite some time and tried everything for relief, with no such luck. I was referred to Annie and her treatments are the only way I gain any relief from my stress related symptoms. Annie is professional, friendly, thorough, and truly cares about her clients. I look forward to my weekly session. With every session, I feel the stress melt right off me, fall fast asleep, gain relief of my shoulder/back pain, and leave feeling calm and relaxed. Annie is a true miracle worker. Annie really takes the time to speak with you and understand your ailments and/or reasoning for seeking her care. She tailors each visit based on your needs. Her care is not one dimensional. She really promotes and helps you lead a healthier lifestyle. The entire staff is professional, and attentive. The office is beautifully appointed and feels like a spa. Annie Wang and the staff are #1 in my book. read more

Annie Wang Acupuncture - Acupuncture session with Annie Wang - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Altos, California

I can walk into Annie's office with back pain and walk out with it gone. she is magical. I've enjoyed and appreciated each session with her so much and I'm so thankful that I was introduced to her and her practice about 6 months ago. it has honestly changed my life. read more

I began seeing Dr. Anna Goldfarb at Annie Wang Acupuncture around the time my husband and I wanted to conceive. At the time, I didn't particularly have any specific issues (or so I thought), but Anna helped me deep dive into all aspects of my health to focus on nutrition, supplements/herbs, and overall lifestyle in addition to the weekly acupuncture treatment i was receiving. What I love about Anna is that she is so caring and takes a real interest in your health and life. She also brings a perspective of both Eastern and Western medicine as she is also an MD and takes a good amount of time to listen to you and educate you on her vast knowledge. She has many tips to share with you on just about everything! I think this helped greatly in my treatment and I am still seeing her regularly as we are about to welcome our first child, which we believe was made possible with her help! My husband even saw Anna for sometime and we consider her to be part of our family! read more

Annie Wang Acupuncture is truly the best! Friendly staff, convenient location close to San Antonio/El Camino intersection and easy to make appointments. If you have a stressful life or sleep problems and have not tried acupuncture, I highly recommend it! I am jumpy about being poked with needles, but it is not bad at all. There is sort of a tingling sensation, which means it's working. It's also a great opportunity to practice mindfulness while the needles work their magic. I feel so relaxed after my treatments, better than a massage! Check if your insurance covers acupuncture - mine does and I only pay a small copay. Best of all worlds! read more

Annie is a wonderful practitioner. She is knowledgeable and personable and she solves whatever ailment you may have. I have gone to her on numerous occasions due to prolonged coughing or runny nose. She's been able to relieve those symptoms in 1-2 sessions. She is amazing. I would not hesitate to seek help from her. read more

Annie is wonderful! I saw her for most of my treatments. But the great thing about her practice is the flexibility. I could always get in to see someone on her team at a time that worked for me, and every single one of them is equally caring, knowledgeable and professional. They maintain great notes and records so each acupuncturist can pick up where the last one left off. As a bonus, they will handle submitting claims to insurance. read more

I am glad to have seen Annie after giving birth. As I had quite a traumatic birth experience, my milk supply suffered. I heard that acupuncture might help with lactation and decided to give it a go. Also, I was suffering from coccyx injury post delivery. I wasn't too sure about the treatment initially but after seeing Annie for a month or so I see great improvements! I am able to breastfeed better now and the treatment has definitely help reduced my pain! I am happy to have continued the treatment to see such great progress and would recommend Annie and her team! read more

This review for Latita. I have been seeing Latita for 3 months. Her acupuncture is amazing. She takes care of my Menopause and some other problems. I choose her because she is an expert of women's health and pain management. Latita is always friendly and nice to me. She checks my pulse , tongue and asks about my health condition every visit. Some acupuncturist check the pulse and tongue only for the first visit, so I feel she is very conscientious. She always listens to my concerns and tries to help me get well quickly. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I am so happy that my health is getting better now. They have online booking system. It is very useful. I like it! read more

Annie's positive and professional tone seems to radiate throughout the office. They have a lot of different days/times available so I can pick what works for my schedule. I really like being able to schedule appointments online, and the e-mail reminders are nice. Another critical thing is that they accept my insurance. Most often, my appointments are with Jeannette, and I have been her patient for a long time. Without fail, Jeannette listens attentively to what I have to say at each session, so that I feel like the treatments are tailored to my individual needs. She is supportive, conscientious, well-read, and never runs out of practical suggestions. I am so grateful for the many, positive impacts on my health! read more

Annie Wang Acupuncture is great if you are trying Acupuncture for the first time and also fantastic if you have been receiving Acupuncture for many years. They have two offices and many practitioners. Getting an appointment is easy and they have two locations, Los Altos and Belmont! I have been going for several reasons; frozen shoulder, allergies, back pain, acid reflux. My frozen shoulder is completely healed thanks to Emily in Belmont! It is a friendly and deeply peaceful and relaxing experience! read more
