The Friday I was told I needed surgery, I immediately called and made an appointment at WAC. I had an appointment for Monday. Upon arrival, I filled out some forms and was thankful to see that they did accept insurance. Coverage varies from plan to plan and I'm thankful that my visits were 90% covered but it's still unclear how many visits they've paid for (still waiting for word on that). On the first visit, you can expect to be there for an hour and a half. During this 1hr+ period, you'll have a full evaluation (q+a) and then the acupuncture. You put on a paper gown and lay however instructed. (Me, on my left side facing the wall.) In general, I'm not afraid of needles...unless I'm watching you stick one in me. Thankfully, since my area of complaint is my back, I never had to watch him put one of the needles in my skin. You might be wandering what it feels like? Well, depending on where the needle goes, I either felt a bit of pressure but no pain, or I didn't feel it at all! Most times, I thought I just heard a flicking-type sound when they were inserted but I didn't feel it. Now, once the needle is in, however, when he pushes it in further or angles it differently - that is an entirely different feeling; sometimes painful, sometimes not. There were times when I felt tingly, felt some kind of something shoot down my leg or across my side. Dr. Xiao Ming Tian would stick the needles in the appropriate spot based on what the pain was like that day. Some days it hurt down my leg so he'd make sure there was a needle in my back area to address that pain. One day I mentioned I had a headache so he gave me additional needles in my head/neck (which was awesome!). Once all the needles are in, they need to stay in for 30-45 minutes. A heat lamp hangs over the acupuncture spots and it's nap time. That's right - a doctor sanctioned nap! I found over the last 14 sessions that while I actually slept some of the time, 80% of the the rest of the time I felt like I was in that place between asleep and awake and it was downright relaxing. When time is up, they come back in the room and take out the needles, you put your clothes back on and you go home and repeat the next day or however many visits Dr. Tian recommends. In my case, it was 15. I'll be honest, I was really quite skeptical about acupuncture at the beginning. I figured I'd give it a go but had low expectations. Thus far, it hasn't "cured" my back but it has significantly helped with managing the pain. It has also brought my blood pressure down to normal human numbers again so I'm very very pleased about that. (This was a result, apparently, of the placement of one needle in my forearm.) Yea...I'm a believer now! I've never been more eager to spread the word about a doctor, let alone an acupuncturist but I'm telling you - if you ever considered acupuncture before, come see Dr. Xiao Ming Tian at Wildwood. He is a darling older Chinese man who is extremely intelligent, very kind and truly cares about his patients. (Also, he gave me a Chinese restaurant recommendation in Rockville that I'm excited to check out! Seven Seas.)

I truly and wholeheartedly believe that the team at Pulse care about what they do, and most importantly they care about the patient experience.

As a former employee of Dr. Tian and Bethesda Acupuncture (having left in January 2021 on maternity…read moreleave), there was no one else on my list to call when I was diagnosed with shingles by my PCP in August. As a relatively healthy 29 year old, and a new mom, shingles was the last thing I ever thought I would have developed. Dr. Tian assured me in an initial telehealth consultation that not only was I not alone in being relatively young and having shingles (courtesy of extra high levels of stress, and adjusting to a new life as a parent) but that there was a great deal we could do to treat the itching, pain, and to prevent postherpetic neuralgia. The office fit me in for an appointment same day and so began my treatments. I'm thrilled to say that just over a month later, I am 99.9% shingles free. Dr. Tian worked with me to manage my shingles, but also to address some additional postpartum concerns (PPA, PPD, back pain, etc). She even assisted with the scarring I have left from the shingles and prescribed a derma roller 3x a week. I can report also that I sleep much more soundly (When my daughter allows!), I have minimal back pain, and my mood is so significantly improved and consistent I am almost completely off the medication I was put on for PPA. Given that I knew Dr. Tian and the practice prior to going as a patient, I knew cleanliness is one of their top priorities - even if a global pandemic was not part of the equation. I felt comfortable in the office each and every time I was there, knowing the staff all wear PPE including face masks and shields, and there are multiple state of the art air filtration and purifying machines throughout the office space. In addition to the detail with with the office is maintained, Dr. Tian also explained each and every step at my first appointment, and was always quick to answer any questions I had. Whether I was curious what needle related to what symptom, or about why I was feeling twitchy during an appointment. A simple "I recommend Dr. Tian and her entire team at BAWM" is not enough - I would shout it from the rooftops to anyone willing to listen and anyone suffering, not only from shingles, but from any ailment or concern, as Dr. Tian will look not only at what is bothering you, but will look at "the whole picture". I will now and forevermore hesitate to see anyone else for acupuncture, or any TCM treatments knowing the due diligence Dr. Tian gives all of her patients, and the care she puts into each and every appointment she sees.
