Needles are scary. Dr. Fong is not!…read more I've seen Dr. Fong on two separate occasions--once for sciatica pain and another time for an aching Achilles tendon caused by tight calves and hamstrings from running. Both times, he was caring, gentle, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. He treated the problem areas and also recommended some helpful stretches to loosen up my muscles and address the underlying stiffness. I especially appreciated that he didn't just treat the discomfort and send me on my way. He took the time to educate me on what might be contributing to it and what I could do at home to help. Dr. Fong has a calm, thoughtful approach that makes the whole experience surprisingly relaxing. If the thought of acupuncture has you imagining a human pincushion, don't worry--you're in good hands here. Five stars for great care, a gentle touch, and some very happy calves and hamstrings!

Wanted to get a massage and cupping and we found this place close by the house…read more We ended up getting the deep massage with cupping for 70.00 If you go with two people, they would put in the same room, otherwise if you wanted it separate just advise them Started off with a deep massage and in between they applied the cupping and then continue to massage your arms and legs. After removal of the cupping they have you turn over on your back and they finish up your massage. It was so good and relaxing, you can let them know if it's too hard and they will adjust the pressure they apply. It's a place to go for your aches and pain. It's nice reset monthly if possible.

Worst massage experience I've ever had…read more Before the massage even started, the lady asked for payment $60 for an hour FULL BODY MASSAGE and a TIP upfront. I told her I would tip after the service instead. Right away, the experience went downhill. She told me to lay on my stomach and spent the first 15 minutes just lightly rubbing my back with almost no pressure at all. When I asked her to go harder, she suddenly became too rough and actually hurt me. I got so uncomfortable that I let out a huge sigh. I checked the clock and realized she had only been rubbing my back the entire time. Then she suddenly said another lady would take over. The second lady did better, but she also focused only on my back. My chest was starting to hurt from laying in the same position for so long, so I asked if they were going to massage my head, legs, and arms too since I paid for a FULL BODY massage M. I don't think she understood me because she only massaged my feet for a few minutes and then said, "That's it. Done." The timing was also misleading. They started touching me around 9:05 PM and finished at 9:55 PM !! not even a full hour. I was so frustrated that I just walked out. Then the first lady literally ran after me asking for a tip. I didn't even turn around. Absolutely the worst 55 minutes of my massage experience. I wish I could give a 0 star!

Dr Shi is a wizard. No, a fairy. No, a healer. Yes, definitely a healer…read more Although A Beautiful Day Spa is well known for their massage treatments, the well-kept hidden secret is Dr. Shi. Dr. Shi has been practicing acupuncture for decades. Dr. Shi can speak some English, but is fluent in Mandarin. As a patient who speaks some Mandarin, I'm fortunate enough to learn that Dr. Shi travels to give speeches in China and he continues to learn the arts of healing. Dr. Shi is an unorthodox acupuncturist in which his methods are not just sticking needles in your body. He asks your body to change the tendons, the muscles, the bones, the fascia, and even the skin. And yes Dr Shi talks to your body, it's so strange (I know), but he can find where the source of your pain is from and he tries to find the root cause of the pain so he can transform your body. Even if I don't tell him I have pain in a specific area, he will find out after assessing your body. As someone who suffers from multiple injuries, my chronic pain and musculoskeletal problems caused migraines, dizziness and pain with movement. I saw renowned acupuncturists twice to three times a week for three months and my symptoms never improved significantly enough to go about my daily life. I saw Dr. Shi for one month, twice a week and my headaches and dizziness improved right away. My range in motion also increased with less pain. Additionally, my stiffness and deep pain lessened. So why the magic... okay, I get it. You need a concrete example. I have a painful bump in the back of my head, it was about 2inch so not too big, but pressing on it caused migraines and shooting pain down my neck and spine. Dr. Shi placed acupuncture needles in my body, asked me to do some strange movements, and in three sessions the spot was less tender and I no longer have shooting pain down my neck and spine. This was also combined with Western medicine. It's not completely gone because he explained that healing is treatment, time, taking care of yourself, staying warm and moving correctly. I also like the way Dr. Shi inserts and takes out the needles. He prepares your body and gently inserts the needles. If it will be a painful spot, he will guide you on how to lessen the pain for that acupoint. I am excited that the acupuncture clinic will be opened soon. This way, Dr. Shi can help more people.

I was really excited for this place from all the reviews I saw, but it wasn't what we were…read moreexpecting. I had booked a 60-minute massage for my mother and requested strong pressure. The receptionist confirmed that they had someone who had the strongest therapist booked for my mom and I had nothing to worry about. However, my mother told me there was barely any pressure even when she inquired they said that strong, deep pressure would be an extra charge. Which is fine, however, it seems that they just gave her light strokes throughout. She wanted to walk out mid-session but chose to stay to see if there would be any improvement but there was none. We would not recommend this place. Update: Dustin tried offering us 30% off for us to come back.. doesn't seem like a good/decent solution to anything. We declined and still would not recommend this place.

I almost don't even want to mention her name because I selfishly want to keep her availability to myself , but she truly deserves the recognition. I especially appreciated how professional and attentive she was. She regularly checked in to make sure the pressure was comfortable, which made a big difference. The room was also very well prepared, with hot stones and towels available right there, so she never had to leave the room during the massage. There were none of those awkward interruptions or minutes of waiting that you sometimes experience at other places. You can tell this is a well-run, professional establishment that pays attention to the details. Emma is a very skilled massage therapist, and I left feeling fantastic. Highly recommend Bamboo Creek Spa and especially Emma. Just please don't make her so popular that I can't get an appointment next time!

I had been getting massages, which helped a little bit, but the positive effects soon wore off after just a few hours and I was back to square one. I was a bit hesitant to try acupuncture and cupping, but called Mei for a medical massage and she recommended the combination therapy (acupuncture, massage, and cupping), which I tried and the results were literally magical. I definitely had to relax and surrender to the process, and was well rewarded for it. In one session, my pain was gone and now I'm in the process of continuing my treatment with Mei to fix the root of the problem. When I asked her how often I would need to come back, her response was, "until you are better." It is so rare to find a practitioner whose goal is to actually heal you and treat the problem. Mei has 25 years of experience and keeps up with the latest developments in medicine. I can't express my gratitude for finding a solution to what I believed/was told was a hopeless situation (unless I wanted to have surgery). I feel so much better both physically and mentally. My husband saw the difference immediately and in spite of being afraid of needles, is so convinced by my evident improvement, that he will be seeing her soon for his chronic lower back pain. I can't say enough good things about Mei, she is truly talented and a dedicated healer. I'm so glad I found her and I will be sending everyone I know with pain issues her way! In addition to all of the above, she is professional and I feel I can completely trust her judgment and skills.
