First time ever consulting with Chinese medicine. Thomas was warm, compassionate, knowledgeable and patient with me. He answered all my questions and then some. He explained my internal body and it's needs In a way I could understand. He walked me through the whole process. I decided to start with acupuncture, this was my first time. He explained to me exactly what I would feel and he was right. The room was clean and inviting. The music was soft and gentle. I barely noticed that over an hour had come and gone. I would highly recommend coming here weather it's your first time or you have been to other places before. Thank you so much. read more

I found Thomas via Groupon, and went to him for a horrible back strain. I'd tried rounds and rounds of physical therapy and different chiropractors and nothing worked until I found Thomas. Within a couple of weeks, my back starting loosening up until I was pain free and moving like normal again. I've gone back multiple times whenever I have injuries or flareups. I love that the rooms are heated, it helps me relax. I'm really hoping that in person appointments will be available again soon! read more

The best practitioner in the Treasure Valley for acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Thomas Cobb is knowledgeable in his acupuncture care and is kind as well as compassionate in his care. He has office hours in both Nampa and Boise. I highly recommend EastWest Approach. read more

Came here with an acute muscle spasm after 2 sessions of chiropractic treatment that weren't very helpful. Thomas WORKS WONDERS. I Left feeling much more relaxed in a little bit more centered. When I came in my body was literally crooked because my muscles were so tight. So grateful that the business is open during COVID-19. I was safely seen while wearing a mask and Thomas had a mask on as well. Looking forward to my next session! read more

Thomas is an amazing gentle and caring healer. He's helped me eliminate hand cramping in just a few sessions, helped me heal a growth of sorts of the back of my head, I was scared it was serious. And he's helping me recover from runner's knee. Thomas guided me through a detoxing cleanse that really helped my recovery process. I have seen him for acupuncture, acupressure, and cupping and you should too! read more

I have been a frequent patient of Thomas for over a year and a half, and I can honestly say, he has changed my life. After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I went into years of feeling out of balance. I was constantly moving through intense physical and emotional swings, dealing with increased anxiety, insomnia, inflammation, and feeling overall defeated by my condition and all of the physical and emotional ailments that come with it. I finally decided to give acupuncture a try after being prescribed intense medications for my insomnia/fatigue/anxiety/on top of medications for my condition. I'm generally skeptical of excessive prescription medication, and try to treat my body with whole foods and rest, but I was loosing the battle and was on my very last straw. I took some time off work, purchased a Groupon for three acupuncture sessions, and gave it a go with little hope of what I thought to be a woo-woo alternative treatment hoping to make a dent in my symptoms. After one session, I could already feel a difference in my mental and cognitive state. One week and three sessions later, I was sleeping through the night, feeling rested, energetic, and creative, and had the energy to exercise regularly and cook myself whole nourishing meals. I was feeling present and in my body again, my life started to return to normal, and I felt in control. Needless to say, I didn't need to take the pharmaceutical drugs. I now see Thomas consistently for everything from allergies, shoulder pain, energy levels, nutrition advice, inflammation, motivation, and just to keep myself in balance. I can't describe what it means to feel as though I have my life back. His clinic is quite literally a god-send, and I am so grateful to have Thomas in my life. He is kind, passionate, empathetic, funny, knowledgeable, gentle (unless you need some more pressure), and so supportive of his patient's individual roads to health. I send all of my friends to him, and recommend him to anyone who I know dealing with physical/emotional/energetic ailments. Acupuncture and alternative medicine may not be for everyone, but it sure is for me thanks to Thomas. I can't recommend him enough, hence the lengthy review :). read more

Dr. Cobb addressed my condition with kindness and precision. I will be continuing to receive treatment and I feel confident he can help me. read more

I had a great visit today with Dr. Cobb. I have seen him for acupuncture many times and each time I experience calm healing energy from his treatments. His acupuncture treatments are transformative and I always feel a sense of calm and serenity after my treatments. Dr Cobb is also a master Chinese herbalist. Today I was excited to find out that he is incorporating Functional medicine into his practice. Dr. Cobb has a unique system of using modern functional medicine blended with traditional medicines like Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture. I highly recommend Left Coast Acupuncture! read more

I was recently diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. The doctors told me to wait it out, but I wanted (and needed) to find a remedy quickly for my own well-being. After searching the internet, I came across acupuncture as a possible solution. Thanks to LivingSocial, I purchased a 3 visit deal for this clinic. It was my first time, but Thomas Cobb eased all of my fears and explained everything so thoroughly. The first time, I could not feel anything but the day after treatment, my eyebrow started to voluntarily move. The day after my second visit, my face started to relax and both eyebrows started voluntarily moving. The day after the third and final visit, my mouth started to relax and it is able to twitch. Not close to a smile at all, but at least I can feel progress. Take that, Western Doctors! On top of the treatments, Thomas suggested trying Chinese herbs so I purchased a premade concoction and am still taking it three times a day. I so wish that the clinic was closer, but my first acupuncture experience is definitely a positive one and I am very happy that Thomas Cobb was able to help jump start the healing process. I am definitely looking into a clinic closer to home to continue the acupuncture sessions. read more

Groupon review! First timer with acupuncture. I was honest and received great feedback and advice from the owner. I had amazing results from one treatment. 4 stars except one because of this little detail. I was parked at a meter and told the owner I'd like to be out by "x" time due to the meter which would cut the appt about 20 short. I didn't mind because I didn't want a ticket! The owner said "Of course, no problem!" Well, it felt like years in that dark room and I was so bored! However, I trusted him and just stayed put. When he finally came to get me he had ran HALF AN HOUR past the original appt. I was so annoyed. Then he lost a needle in my hair and told me not to worry. I freaked out thinking I was going to push this needle into my skull! However, that didn't happen lol but I did think it was unprofessional of him to not count the needles and realize one was missing! I got to my meter 10 min before 6pm! And as you know after 6pm it's free parking. LUCKILY I had no ticket! I just felt it was ridiculous to forget that I wanted to leave early and then run half an hour past. I guess extra time wouldn't hurt for someone who had the time to spare but it annoyed me. The biggest piece of advice that I hope he sees from this review is to count the needles! Have a paper cup in the room that after each needle you "uncap" (or whatever it is) you put it in the cup. Then when you come to remove the needles you are accountable for each one! Kinda like how they have to count each material/item used in surgery. That way they don't leave an instrument inside a body and sew them up. Lol Overall, he's great!!! I don't have insurance or else I'd be back! I'd recommend him to friends/family. read more

Thomas is such a talented Silver Fox. I was referred to this place by a good friend and I am so glad I Grouponed this place! The atmosphere is very intimate unlike a clinic or a larder private practice. The intake form was insanely specific but all multiple choice. I regretted only getting an hour long session; it was so relaxing that the time seemed to fly by! It was my first time getting acupuncture and believe me, I felt everything. The needles may be small but it's still an object going penetrating pass your skin to touch a nerve. Though I can do without the 2 in my ear, I loved the session and will be returning on a monthly basis. read more

Dr. Thomas C at Left Coast Acupuncture is not only a very knowledgeable practitioner of acupuncture and herbs, he is one of the most kind, gentle, authentic human beings I have ever met! When I first started, I was in terrible shape!! I have a lot of , lets say, " obstacles", health wise and seeing a new acupuncturist was somewhat difficult for me. Dr. Thomas C was so kind, non- judgmental when we met and has and still continues to help me. He is very generous with his knowledge and time , yet, at the same time, is amazingly humble and spiritual. I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful acupuncture and herbal Doctor!!! read more

I am amazed at the knowledge and compassion I received from Thomas Cobb! He explained everything to me about why my Lungs were not healing as well as what I had to do in order to find my way back to having my life back. A healthy life again. I have been sick with Acute Asthma from May 2018. numerous Doctors/Specialists as well as experimental Biologic Injections. Within 2 hours - yes he talked to me for over an hour of acupuncture. My body and lungs feel better and I will follow his suggestions on what I need to do for ME! Thankyou for your support and knowledge. Peace Kathie Ralph read more

Friendly environment. Extremely knowledgeable. Very helpful. Excellent recommendations. No pain too small or too big. They can work it out.

I've been suffering from neck pain for some time now. Due to the reviews, I wanted to try Left Coast Acupuncture. I was very impressed with Thomas's aggressive treatment. Thomas was very thorough and professional. I've seen multiple acupuncturists in the past, and Thomas is the top in his field. Thomas checked pressure points before administering acupuncture, to see which points would have the most affect on my problem areas. He was the first acupuncturist that I've experienced doing this, but after having it done, I don't understand why all acupuncturists wouldn't use this technique to get the best results possible for their patients. There were other noticeable techniques that Tomas used, which unfortunately the prior acupunturists I've seen in the past either didn't use or didn't know of. There is a difference between acupuncturists who do the bare minimum and those who go all out to try to heal their patient. None of us want to drag our healing process out longer by the bare minimum of 2 needles, heat, and see you next week. I've experienced the bare minimum, but I've also had several very good acupuncturists in the past. We all deserve better, we all desirve the best. If your looking on yelp to find an acupuncturist, I suggest you check to see if the acupuncturist has plenty of good written reviews showing their treatment as being thorough and aggressive if possible. I highly recommend seeing Thomas and suggest that if you are sceptical at receiving acupuncture or seeing a new acupuncturist, try the discounts on Living Social or Groupon for first time customers, they are unbelievable deals! read more

Dr. Cobb is excellent. His office is peaceful and inviting, and he brings a great deal of presence to his practice. I see him most often after traveling when I feel like I need a "tune up." I've also seen him on occasion for specific issues. read more

My husband slipped his disk on a Saturday few months ago and I found there are not many acupuncture places that are open on weekend. Left Coast was the one we found that we could go. Thomas Cobb was very friendly and professional. He asked us few questions and listened to us very carefully. Thank you so much for taking care of him. read more

Austin is my guy! As someone who avidly lifts weights, works on my feet, and loves outdoor sports, i've dealt with minor to major pains and set backs. I came to Austin with a shoulder injury and he was very receptive as well as knowledgeable of his craft. He was able to pin point my shoulder pain and alleviate my injury. Since I've seen him over the last few months, taking the time to chat about my exercise routine, and other more serious injuries I've had in the past, he's given me incite and relief that has made a huge difference in my life. He's even helped relieve the sciatic pain that i've suffered that I thought would never go away. If you're looking for a Massage Therapist and not just your run of the mill masseuse, Austin is the best! The only reason i'm reluctant to give a great review and a five star rating is that i'm scared he will soon be too booked up to see me... read more

Great new space! Wonderful feeling of balance through Thomas' healing touch! read more

Left Coast Acupuncture was everything I expected when I wanted to try alternative medicine. I came across Left Coast Acupuncture when I bought a Living Social deal in October 2014. Thomas C. is a very caring and thoughtful acupuncturist. He helped me with all my health issues--from trying to conceive, to sciatica nerve pain and relieving my pregnancy symptoms. read more

I had SUCH a great experience with Thomas. He is a genuine, gentle, truly caring practitioner. He asked great questions, was thoughtful and totally present with me. I walked out feeling completely new! My best acupuncture experience yet! I never take time to write Yelp reviews, but I think this guy deserves a thumbs up! read more

Great experience. Thomas took care of my migraine and sleep issues on the first visit. I continued for two consecutive days after that and am feeling much at peace. This is the first time in weeks I have had relief from both my migraines and insomnia. I will go to Thomas regularly from now on for holistic care, including menopausal, digestive and memory issues. His clinic has a wonderful ambiance and energy to it. I recommend him and his clinic HIGHLY. read more

I would like to start off by saying that Thomas Cobb is an exquisite healer. Left Coast Acupuncture is truly a place I find myself being a part of for many sessions in my future. I am new to the Acupuncture scene and have only been using this method for the past two years, but I cannot recommend a better person than Thomas. He is invested in your wellness and your growth as an individual. He listens so deeply to your pulse and connects with you on a deeper level and hears what your body, mind, and soul is craving. I was interested in working on my acne, stress, digestion, and my hormones (just to name a few). Every time a session has ended, I felt that each of my needs had been met. When the needle hits each channel, it is so wonderful to feel how within 20 to 30 minutes my energy moves through my body in a new way, it's indescribable. There are only positive things to say with my experiences with Thomas. I have been fortunate to see him 8 times and know this method of healing, is the perfect thing to add to my life. It is amazing to be in his presence and feel comfort in his knowledge and passion as a healer. read more

I can not thank Thomas Cobb enough for how much he has helped me. I decided to give acupuncture a try when I could not find a solution for my horrible neck pain. I have numerous horseback riding injuries and scoliosis. I have been seeing an A.R.T. specialist for 8 years for these problems but in that last year year my neck was just getting worse. It got to the point where I was getting horrible migraines and greatly decreased mobility. It was making me miserable. After ONE visit, my neck pain was GONE. I could not believe it. Not only did he relieve my neck pain, but it actually lasted. I have been seeing him for almost a year now and could not be happier. He has also been treating my knee and trying to boost my immunity as well. My stress management has improved and I have been sleeping so much better. Thomas has really changed my life for the better. From the moment you walk in, you feel so welcomed and relaxed. Thomas is one of the kindest and most caring people I have ever met. P.S. I was terrified to try acupuncture. Absolutely terrified. I was so nervous my first time and Thomas really helped me stay relaxed and calm. Once the needles were in, I was like oh..this feels amazing. If you are nervous or apprehensive about acupuncture, Thomas will make you feel completely at ease. read more

My state of mind once I found LCA was very positive and was spiritually and emotionally ready for the healing to begin. After spending scheduled 6 pre-paid session, acupuncture treatment with herbs (the recommended) for my Rosacea like, dry, flaky, irritated face; did not experience or see any results on the 6 weeks or right after. Although it was an expensive treatment with no results, I find Thomas to be very sincere in trying to help me with my skin problems. Thanks for the experience! read more

Left Coast Acupuncture is a 5 out of 5! It's been a few days since my first acupuncture/ air cupping treatment and I feel way less tightness in my lower back from gymnastic exercises! Dr. Cobb has incredible insight on Traditional Chinese Medicine. You can really tell he cares about the wellness of his patients. The receptionist there at Left Coast was very accommodating and polite. I'll definitely be back! read more

Left Coast Accupuncture is the best. I discovered this business through Groupon, and have been treated there ever since. Thomas is very caring and knowledgable, and I have had good results from my treatment. The office is immaculate and peaceful. I can say only positive things about Thomas Cobb and Left Coast Accupuncture. Definitely recommended. read more

I just moved and love acupuncture (for back pains and stress) so I looked around and found a groupon for Left Coast Acupuncture. I bought the 3 pack, figuring that if I go all 3x's, it's an amazing deal, and even if I go once, it's still less than one time at most places. I'm thrilled to say that this was an amazing deal and plan to continue getting treated there! Thomas uses thin needles, which he gets in so quickly and non-invasively, you barely feel a thing for the most part. The clinic is clean and relaxing. read more

My review is way overdue. I love this place! I have 6 bulging discs and 2 are torn. I often get acute flare ups in my neck and I can barely sit still without pain. Thomas is always able to drop that pain by at least 80% sometimes more. This is huge for me and quality of day to day life. If you are on the fence about this, try it once. I didn't believe that this could or would work, but it's kind of a miracle cure for me. It's amazing knowing you have someone to go to when you're at your worst and you can get actual results. I have tried pain meds, massage, acupressure and a lot of other stuff, acupuncture actually works. I highly recommend Thomas. read more

I highly recommend Thomas Cobb for acupuncture. I was able to pick my time to be there, and he helped heal my congestion. He's personable, checks my pulses and tongue, and then does the treatment accordingly. He even sent me a reference to a cook book that had some recipes he recommended for me. read more

I'm incredibly happy to write this review for Left Coast Acupuncture and for Thomas, particularly for labor induction. I was 6 days overdue and worried about having a medically induced labor. We had tried various 'at home' methods to get things going, but nothing seemed to work effectively. I had heard of acupuncture as another alternative option and was able to schedule a same-day appointment with Thomas. He gave me confidence that he had experience doing this type of treatment in the past and explained the different points he would stimulate. The session was peaceful and comfortable, and he came in halfway through to move the needles around. 7 hours later, I went into labor with contractions close together and things progressed quickly and had my baby later that morning. I know that many women get desperate towards the end and resort to a lot of alternative options. It may not work for all, but I found that getting acupuncture was the trick that did it for me! I found Thomas to be a reputable, safe and professional practitioner who was knowledgable and effective in treating me. Highly recommend as an option for labor induction. read more

Left coast acupuncture is a great TCM clinic. The atmosphere is clean and inviting. It has a nice, modern yet traditional aesthetic that feels authentic.

Left Coast acupuncture is a professional yet serene and inviting clinic. The herbal pharmacy is wonderful as I can simply get the herbs Thomas Cobb prescribed - I love one stop shopping! I went to Thomas with body pain and intestinal issues, as well as general tiredness. In the treatment I received acupuncture, massage & energy work! WOW!!! More than worth every penny! I left pain free, relaxed & energized. And the herbs he prescribed worked in no time! He has a gentle style & is thorough & knowledgable read more
