I was referred to Lu Frank by two separate people after I became ill from covid.... After having Covid, began to notice stiffness, swelling and fever in my joints. Specifically my knees. My general practitioner prescribed anti-inflammatories and pain meds. After a few months. I realized that the medication is not going to work for my situation. I scheduled an appointment for acupuncture and after the first visit, I felt immediate relief. I was not 100%. However I felt better than I had in months. After a few more sessions. I feel back to my old self. Thank you Lu Frank. Staff was also very nice, informative, patient. And always on time. I highly recommend! read more

I own the largest Martial Arts School in Bakersfield. As a result of what I do, I've had more than a few injuries. I've also trained dozens and dozens of professional and amature fighters including several world champions (Muay Thai, Boxing, MMA). I've been using Dr Lu's amazing services for over 25 years. He's NEVER LET ME DOWN! He is kind, concerned and amazingly good at what he does. He is not only awesome at his chosen profession, he is also one of the GOOD GUYS! Just recently he helped my PERFECT WIFE, who had a shoulder injury caused by trying to hold back my 100+ pound Husky mix. I have taken, my son, my wife, my fighters, my friends and myself to Dr Frank. I will continue to do so and I am honored to call him a friend and fortunate to have his medical skills available to me. He has absolutely fixed things in a couple of visits, when western doctors are telling me that I likely need surgery. Simply put...HE'S THE BEST. read more

Dr. Lu is amazing! He is professional but also gives you a peace of mind needed to go into acupuncture. I came to Dr. Lu for my Bells Palsy and he has told me that he has much success with Bells Palsy patients. I am kicking myself for not coming earlier. He talked to me about what most likely caused the Bells Palsy and what he is going to do to help alleviate the symptoms. He was very informative and kind. I went in kind of nervous but as soon as I talked with him I was calm. I would recommend Dr. Lu to anyone. read more

I have absolutely no complaints about Dr. Lu and his staff. They are prompt, friendly, and ready to help. I saw Dr. Lu for my shoulder and he was gentle, kind and always listened to my concerns. Thanks Dr. Lu! read more

Dr Lu is a great doctor, I refer many of my patients to him for help. Myself and many of my family members have seen him for care. He is very knowledgeable and extremely nice, I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Frank is wonderful. His staff is very professional and the friendliest staff I have even encountered. Dr. Frank is extremely busy, staff allowed me to talk to him and I explained to him what I needed. He was very understanding and accommodated me in his busy schedule. He talked to me on the phone and explained to me the acupuncture process. When at the office, he makes you feel very comfortable. He has great bedside manners. He takes his time explaining and providing consultation. He is very gentle. it was my first time with acupuncture, he was great and it didn't even hurt. I almost didn't write this great review in concern that he will get more patients and get busier lol. he is wonderful! read more

Dr. Lu, is a very caring doctor and so far he has helped with all my injuries. I highly recommend him, he seems to know what he is doing.

Dr. Lu has improved my health so much! This is the best I've felt in at least 10 years! He is so kind and truly cares for his patients, if you're thinking about taking a natural approach in life go to him first! I travel a hour to see him and it's so worth it! read more

I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Lu. I believe my family first came to him when my father decided chiropractors weren't doing it for his sciatica anymore. I think that was about 10 years ago. Since then, Dr. Lu has helped many members of my family with a number of ailments, and has wowed many of our friends as well. He has helped us when Western medicine was stumped or simply insufficient, and in times when we would have otherwise given up hope. He helped relieve my father's back pain, managed my tendonitis, boosted my mothers immune system, and worked with my cancerous grandfather. He has brought each of us healing through his medicine and comfort through his warm personality. When I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, my pediatrician told me that it was something I would live with my whole life. That there was no cure and I should just do my best to take care of my body. I was exhausted no matter how much I slept and extremely distraught to hear I had to live my life like this. But by this time convinced that Dr. Lu was a healing saint, my mother sent me to him for a second opinion. Dr. Lu did not think I was untreatable, and used a combination of accupuncture and herbal pills to manage my stress and boost my immune function. My health began to improve and soon my blood tests were within a normal range. Now, I technically would be considered someone with an immune condition, but I hardly get sick when my peers do. It meant so much to me to have Dr. Lu as a doctor when I was scared and sick, and I'm convinced that he does as much healing through medicine as he does through his kindness. Truly someone you must meet. read more

Total sceptic converted to believer! Went to Dr. Lu on recommendation from a friend. Comfortable and serene surroundings put me at ease immediately. Went in due to a migraine and nausea. Within 15 minutes migraine lifted and nausea was gone. Amazing.! I have been several times now, for other reasons and feeling some relief from pain. Dr Lu is straightforward and honest and will tell you if your problem is treatable by acupuncture. read more

Dr. Lu has done wonders for me! His staff is excellent, and he does an incredible job at explaining, answering questions, and providing suggestions. He is also extremely gracious and comforting. I have come primarily due to injuries related to running, but mentioned another issue and he treated me for both simultaneously, without any additional co-pay or charges. I have recommended many friends to see Dr. Lu, and I HATE needles! read more

Dr. Lu is the nicest doctor and most genuine man who truly cares about his patients and helping to heal them. His staff is amazing too. Prior to seeingDr. LU, I had never had acupuncture before; I only went because my primary doctor referred me out and thought it would be beneficial. I am very afraid of needles, but Dr. Lu is so awesome that it doesn't even really hurt. I have carpal tunnel and tendonitis in my wrist/hand from overuse at work. After my third session, I can feel blood flowing in my wrist and hand that I literally haven't felt in over a year. I tried physical therapy, and that worked, but the pain and tension quickly builds up again if you don't do it for awhile. :( I can honestly say this feels like it's truly doing some "permanent good;" I sincerely hope I'm right! Love this doctor and can't say enough good things about him and his staff! Thank you, Dr. Lu!!! :-) read more

I apologize for writing my review late which I should have written about 4 months ago. I've suffered from osteoporosis on my lower back at a young age and as you age it doesn't get any better until I found Dr. Lu Frank! I finally decided to to give him a try, but with some doubt. To my surprise Dr. Frank treated me several times and now I'm feeling 100% better! I know that the pain will come back but right now I'm doing better because of the treatment I received from Dr. Frank. His staff is very professional, considerate and awesome! I would like to thank them all for the care and respect they have shown me. I most definitely would recommend Dr. Lu Frank to all my friends and family. Great job guys! read more

Dr. Lu is the most incredible acupuncturist and herbalist. He provides a peaceful and soothing environment for his patients, and is a master of his work. For any ache, stress, sever pain, anxiety, etc., Dr. Lu intrinsically knows how to relieve you and help you mend yourself. Truly an amazing doctor and person. read more

Im not into the alternative medicine, But years back I have an injury to my heel, I went to foot doctors, got treatments, shots etc. Nothing helped. Was recommended to try this, did it, not expecting anything at all, my heel hurt much more a couple days after the acupuncture, I thought I made it worse. but then something amazing, a few more days and foot felt much better then before. I made a second trip and after a week, I was cured. I do not know how it works or why, It was not me just believing in it because I did not and even thought I made it worse. I just know he took away my pain when the foot doctor could not. I do not know how and do not care. I am just grateful it worked for me. I had a slipped disc in my back later on, the acupuncture was not able to fix that for me but then again I only went for that a couple times. Other athletes I know have told me the same type stories when going to him for their sports injuries. Thank you Dr. Lu read more

Dr. Frank is awesome! Whenever I don't feel well, I just run to him! His gentleness and kindness always calm me down! I personally don't like western medicine as I prefer healing naturally. His herbs are great and effective as well. His staffs there are nice, too! I highly recommend him if you want some alternative rather than medicine. read more

Dr. Lu and his staff are amazing. If you haven't looked into alternative medicine and you are interested, you should start here!

I called twice and never even got a call back. He came highly recommended by an acquaintance but the lack of returning a call leaves me cold. Since I can't personally recommend him, I had to give him one star for the lack of communication. read more

Absolutely love going to this office! The staff is always welcoming and able to work around my schedule. Dr Lu is genuinely caring, well educated, and has the ability to make you feel better the moment you see him. After years of going to different doctors, Dr Lu and his more holistic approach to health and well-being is very much appreciated! read more

I let the reviews fooled me once and I beginning to think that yelp reviews are fake. Dr. Lu is incompetent and his office staff are both racist and rude. Longer than 6 months I was trying with Dr. Lu to treat anxiety and he did nothing for me to the point that he very clear said to me: there is nothing else that I can do for you. He treated me with acupuncture in a clinic that stinks of tobacco and when I nicely asked him about the consistent smell, he kept quiet and answered nothing. Couple of times later I asked him the same question and he came up with a stupid answer about using specials incense that smell like tobacco. Then he gave me some pills to sleep that never worked on me. After 6 months of wasting my time and money with him and his rude staff, he told me that he could do nothing else for me. Two months later I visited another acupuncturist in Bakersfield and I was with a very skeptical attitude but my husband insisted since regular medicine was just making me sleepy. This new acupuncturist did his treatment and I felt relieved in the same day at the very time that he worked on me. I kept going for 3 more months and I completed my treatment. He is a real acupuncturist and he knows his work, he has real training and no just a name that make you think that he must know. I just go now once in a while. He accepted my insurance and his staff was nice enough to take care of everything. Then I realized how expensive Lu is. Lu is billing me now with hundred of dollars even I was paying $50.00 for each session and I have 2 insurances that cover acupuncture and chiropractic. I wrote a review for Lu before in yelp but it is not here. Perhaps it was never published or it was erased. How much he paid to yelp to have only nice reviews instead of the whole true? read more

I am in shock at how well just one treatment has done for my lower back pain, spasms, and beginning stages of sciatica down my right hip and leg to my knee. I slipped in December 2016, next day was almost immobile, have been doing stretches, taking painkillers here and there, anti inflammatory meds, and seeing chiropractors since then...after 17 chiro treatments and spending over $300, I decided to stop and try acupuncture based on a friends recommendation. I am so thankful I tried this, had a treatment on a Friday, did not feel any improvement that day, but Saturday i was 80% better and now Monday just 3 days post first treatment, I can say that I am 99% better. After spending many nights crying about why this happened to me, I am now crying tears of joy because I can move, even played basketball with my teens and I feel like thanks to God and the gift he has given Dr. Lu I am on my way to being back to normal! I am a believer! read more
