Nancy S.

Dr Joel was very thorough and very knowledgeable. I have used accupuncture for many years . This was my first visit to this office. I will be a regular patient based on my initial visit. Very pleased with my results and the staff at this office. I highly recommend them as someone who has vast experience with this type of practice. Nancy

I originally started treatment for neuropathy as my last resort and was struggling severe with constant numbness and tingling. I was born with an 6th lumbar vertebrae and it fractured when I was 14 years old. The last two years with my pars defect and spondylolisthesis had worsen stenosis symptoms. After 6 consistent sessions, I began to notice real improvements--something I hadn't experienced with anything else I'd tried. Over time, not only did my neuropathy symptoms ease significantly, but I also saw major benefits in other areas of my health. My hormones became more balanced, and something I never expected--my panic attacks completely stopped. I feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control of my health than I have in years. She is truly the most authentic and gifted practitioner in town. She was trained in China and but she is a generational healer with passed down knowledge. Jin's approach is straight forward no bs, deeply knowledgeable, and always tailored to what I need that day. Everyone I've referred to her has seen some kind of positive result, whether physical, emotional, or both. This place is clean, friendly, with good healing energy. If you're considering acupuncture, don't hesitate. Just remember: consistency is key and you must be ready to commit to her plan of care. Go in with an open mind and be serious about your needs.The more you stick with it, the more you'll feel the benefits. She has absolutely changed my life for the better.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Alyssa. I've been seeing her for several months…read morethroughout my IVF journey, and she is truly exceptional at what she does. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, but also deeply caring about her work and her patients. What makes her even more special is that she has personally been through the fertility journey herself. That level of understanding brings so much comfort and reassurance during a time that can feel overwhelming. She creates a safe, calming space where I feel supported not just physically, but emotionally as well. I always leave my sessions feeling more at ease, more hopeful, and more connected to the process. Being able to ask questions openly and trust her guidance means everything to me. I also want to mention her assistant, Debbie, who is always so kind, welcoming, and helpful. From the moment you walk in, she helps create such a warm and supportive environment, which makes a big difference during this journey. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and is highly skilled in fertility acupuncture, I wholeheartedly recommend them. They are truly a blessing in this journey. Thank you, Dr. Alyssa, for everything you do and for making this process easier just by being part of it.

I first made an appointment at a time when I was experiencing on-the-job stress and after one treatment, I felt more relaxed. When she went out of the country for several weeks, my treatment didn't skip a beat because Dr. Alyssa was able to accommodate me and she is equally effective and personable. I'm feeling more energetic, balanced, rejuvenated, and vital. I am looking forward to continued results!!!

She came back and expressed empathy for my dizziness and booked the first available the next day for me. Samra customer service was excellent and that was the first impression I felt for the office. The office is cozy and clean and the pricing is up front and transparent. They open on Saturday and Sunday !!! The next day, Dr. Sakai patiently spending her time to listen to all my symptoms and everything I explained. Now I know why she could not take me yesterday. She gives each patient all their time during consultation. I felt the respect of my time she spent with me. She diagnosed and then performed acupuncture. As she inserted each needle, I immediately could feel the difference. After 25 minutes, my eyes still closed, I was so grateful for the treatment by an amazing Dr. She definitely has healing hands. I felt normal and also shoulders and neck pain are gone. When I got home, I was able to do a whole 1 hour of aerobic exercise with no issues and no pain. Three years ago, I had the same issue and visited 3 different acupuncturists First acupuncturist left bruises all over my body. Second acupuncturist was forgetful, Third one was good but too far away. Dr. Sakai is best of the best ! I can't stop bragging about the treatment I had today. Thank you Dr. Sakai ! You are truly amazing!

When I tell you Dr. Lok senior has changed my life with acupuncture, I do not say this lightly…read more I'm 52, had a neck injury in my teens, I've lived in excruciating pain all these years until an ablation surgery that did not go perfectly well. I was left with slightly more pain on the right side of my neck. Dr. Lok has been treating me twice a week for about a month, and I'm not only able to use a pillow for the first time in 30+ years, but he's actually healing my neck which I never thought possible. He is a brilliant doctor, I'm not sure why in America we don't promote the use and effects of non western medical practices, but I am here to tell you it works. Thank you to Dr. Lok and his amazing staff. There's not enough space here to write how positively he has affected my health.

Extremely unprofessional and disrespectful front desk-- waste of time…read more I had a terrible experience here. I submitted my insurance information a week in advance, and was told someone would be in touch. No one followed up. I showed up to my scheduled appointment and ended up waiting 45 minutes with no communication about what was going on. When I finally said I couldn't wait any longer, the front desk staff told me (very rudely) that they were still verifying my insurance. This was the first I'd heard of it. I had already been told the doctor would see me and that if there were any issues, I'd be informed later about potential charges. When I calmly said she could've been a little kinder about it, she snapped, "I'm done with you," and shoved a refund at me. Completely unprofessional behavior from someone in a healthcare setting. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Patients deserve to be treated with respect, basic communication, and transparency. Beware.

So I've been to 3 acupuncture places here in Las Vegas and many more overseas. In my opinion, Doc…read moreLink is the best local acupuncturist. Although, he recommends one treatment every week or 2, whereas in many Asian countries, you are required to go multiple times a week to get an effective treatment. Typical session with Dr. Link start with acupuncture needles placed where he thinks is best for fixing you up. After about 30 mins with the needles in and the heat lamp on, he moves on to either moxibustion cups over some of the needles, or hooking up some needles to an electrotherapy pack for the next 30 mins. Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) which is aimed at treating the underlying illnesses or injuries, as opposed to Western medicine which targets symptoms. So it definitely take much longer to see results, but when combined with modern Western medicine, it should give you the best chance of healing any ailments. Dr. Link is very nice and professional, he genuinely wants to help his patients get better.

I never received a call or voicemail message indicating they had try to reach me. When I arrived the front office the staff was very rude about my appointment. I definitely will not be coming back here, nor do I recommend anyone else to either. Really unprofessional and unorganized how you handle patient appointments.
