I was skeptical about acupuncture before I saw Dr. Kei. Now I'd recommend it to anyone! I've never…read moretried Chinese acupuncture, but I can tell you that Japanese acupuncture with Dr. Kei is a pain free and pleasant experience! He is friendly, professional, makes you feel relaxed, and most importantly, effective! I had tried all sorts of things to fix my sciatica that I'd been suffering from for over a year (I had hurt myself by improperly lifting something heavy). Stretching, exercises, massages, the chiropractor, none of these helped and some made it even worse! I was amazed when 2 days after my appointment with Dr. Kei, I noticed I no longer had the sciatic pain! I guess this is common practice in Asia, but for me (born and raised in the Bay Area), Dr. Kei is like a magician! The pain went away for months and came back again after I aggravated it while dancing. I went back to Dr. Kei and he fixed it again! I look forward to my appointments with Dr. Kei. He provides a very relaxing and pleasant experience. I will continue to see him and recommend him to anyone suffering from pain!

I love Dr. Kei. He…read morepractices Traditional Japanese Acupuncture -- which is a lot lighter yet just as effective as Traditional Chinese Acupuncture for those of you who are scared of needles. He has great bedside manner. He can push a spot on your shoulder where it is tight, put a needle in your ankle, and when he pushes the same spot on your shoulder, it 's not tight nor painful anymore... impressive? YES. He speaks fluent Japanese, Mandarin, English, and some Thai. Go see him.

I've been seeing Angela for acupuncture for over a year now. I'm so grateful she takes my…read moreinsurance. I always feel amazing. My body relaxes, my mind slows down, and I feel so at ease. Her cupping has been a game changer for my neck and shoulder (I had frozen shoulder) and am very active so I'm often hurting myself one way or another. Angela herself is warm, authentic, and wonderful to chat and laugh with. We love sharing restaurant finds. But what happened this week completely blew my mind! I had horrific calf pain after running stairs with a 20 lb weighted vest two days in a row. I was miserable. I felt like I had calf surgery! While treating my calf, Angela said it felt like the needle was going into a steel plate! I was horrified, thinking what did I do and how long before I heal? The very next morning I woke up... and the pain was gone. I could not believe it. I went to the gym and did leg press and my full leg circuit like nothing had happened. I had no idea acupuncture could be that directly effective. I'm weirdly excited to see what Angela does with my next problem! Thank you, Angela!

I have been consistently going here for a few months (every 1-2 weeks) and am sorry to post such a…read morenegative review, but I feel like a place with a main goal to heal people should embody that philosophy in how they treat customers, but unfortunately have found that not to be the case here. First of all, I want to echo previous reviews that Minal indeed has amazing bedside manners and I have seen her several times and have been treated with nothing but respect and kindness. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the front desk person working on Thursday, Dec 10, 2026 - Alyssa, and to a lesser extent, Angela the owner. Again, like previous reviews of interactions with the front desk, it seems they are incapable of having any empathy for customers. In my case, I was running late for my 4PM appointment and called around 3:30PM (answered by Alyssa) to see what could be done. I was told the policy was strictly a 10min grace period so if I arrived at 4:11PM, I would be charged a $75 late fee. This was very frustrating because I was scheduled to arrive right around 4:10PM, but a simple traffic light could be the difference between arriving at 4:10 or 4:12, but Alyssa firmly stated they wouldn't even make a minute exception even though I had never been late before in any previous appointments. This stressed me out so much so even though I managed to arrive at exactly 4:10 (got lucky with the traffic lights), I was dis-regulated and accidentally slammed the door that was the entrance to the clinic (it is super light, definitely one of those indoor hollow doors). Alyssa glares at me and states there are other patients and I said something to the effect of Oh well I was very stressed out trying to get here on time due to the policy, so sorry and obviously this won't happen again. And she continues glaring and mutters ..crazy... while looking me straight in the eye. And then she's like ugh whatever Minal will talk to you, in a tone straight out of Mean Girls and leads me to the room. A minute later, I come back out asking if I could use the bathroom (not sure if I would be charged the late fee for it so wanted to check) and she glares at me for a solid few seconds, as if in disbelief I dare talk to her again, before begrudgingly saying uh yea whatever... The next day, Angela the owner called me to talk about the incident, so I told her what happened and mentioned Alyssa called me crazy, and she said that she heard from Alyssa that she said "That's crazy...", and not "YOU'RE crazy...". Now my question is does that make a difference? When your front desk receptionist looks a customer in the eye and says CRAZY, does it matter if it was preceded by "you're" or "that's"? It felt like 75% of my call with Angela was her basically saying she didn't know who to believe with the he-said-she-said (then why call me to talk about it) and nitpicking on the details of the name calling. I called her out on it and she apologized and emphasized she does not condone Alyssa's behavior, but it didn't feel sincere due to her previous comments. Philosophically, I hate places that can't make a 1 minute exception as a one-time deal (I get if someone is chronically late that you gotta respect other people's time and pay for it), but I would say if it were only this, I would be giving this place maybe 3 stars for the inflexibility since it is their right and it's just preference but not a crime or anything. But 1 star for Alyssa's behavior and the very confusing defensive call from Angela afterwards.

I've been going through IVF treatment and wanted to explore acupuncture. Decided to go with Sage because they specialize in fertility acupuncture. Everyone here exudes positive energy which I love. Having a positive mindset is a big part of improving wellbeing and that's another reason I was quick to sign up with Sage. Ive felt healthier since starting acupuncture. They use really thin and fine needles here, which I barely feel when inserted. And the speed at which Yvette puts them in just shows her experience. It's a bit pricier than other places but I've been really happy with my experience. They also carry supplements and I got a discount through Yvette which was nice. They even ground up Chinese herbal medicine which is awesome. Talk about going the extra mile. I was organizing a wellness retreat and through conversation, Yvette offered to put up my flyer. She put up a super cute setup in the bathroom. Her support in helping spread the word and empowering me to achieve my goal was amazing. I don't think you'll find another acupuncturist with as much experience as Yvette. She has 25 years of experience with multidisciplinary background. She and Iris genuinely care about the wellbeing of their patients and you'll be in great hands.

Dr. Jeong really helped me get my health on the right track and in a much more positive alignment…read moreright from the start. With her exceptional skill and attention to detail, I've been able to improve my general health and mobility, which in turn has helped improve my quality of life immensely. Intense, chronic pain used to be just another part of my everyday life. This has largely gone away now - there's still some work to continue doing, but Dr. Jeong has helped me shed pain in my joints, tendons, muscles, and nerves. I've had several surgeries and injuries over the years, but I'm at the point now where I am feeling vast improvements as a direct result of treatment. It may be cliché to say she saved my life (or exaggerated), but at the very least, she certainly helped me begin reclaiming it for myself. I had a solid experience right from the start - Dr. Jeong sat down to discuss my own expectations and goals, providing clear information on what the treatment(s) may entail. She took the time to understand my medical history and current issues, and what I was looking to get out of the treatment. Next, she patiently explained the procedures and benefits, along with what I can be doing outside of acupuncture to continue to improve. She understands very well that a healthy life is not just one single aspect, but a blend of everything in the lifestyle. All actions, all choices have some form of impact. So - while I came here thinking I would just be receiving acupuncture, I left with a much broader understanding of changes I should be considering in my lifestyle and nutritional intake to work in tandem with the acupuncture and other treatments, along with additional treatment options I hadn't previously considered. It was nice to see that Dr. Jeong didn't jump in and make any snap decisions - each procedure was carefully considered and then discussed with me before we moved forward with it. I'm certainly no expert, but felt very relaxed with the calming atmosphere and it's clear Dr. Jeong is knowledgeable and skillful in all areas of her practice. There are some insurances that are covered, but not mine - I knew that going in, but her treatments have helped immensely, so I continue to return regularly. After about half a dozen appointments, most of my ailments are either considerably improved, or resolved altogether. The biggest improvements for me have come via acupuncture and Tui Na, though every treatment thus far has provided a positive outcome for me. This past week, I had some issues arise from a few different ailments. Ultimately, this lead to some pain issues that constrained some of my mobility. With her skillful treatment, Dr. Jeong helped work with me and I was able to complete a 12k run the following day with a much better performance than I had been expecting. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Jeong and very happy with my results. I will continue to return regularly as my lifestyle warrants it.

He has provided me relief where chiropractors were unable to. I had never done acupuncture before and was scared of needles. However, his technique doesn't hurt at all. You barely feel the needle going in and once he's done and you're lying there, you can feel your body calm and start to heal. The cupping also helps if you have acute pain as it helps to release pressure in those areas. I benefited so much from it that when my mom came who is struggling with a lot of arthritis I sent her to him and she also said Dr. Wang was very helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone in pain but also who wants to just benefit from relaxation and cleansing. It has become a weekly appointment for me and an hour of calm that I look forward to. Dr. Wang responds promptly to emails, texts and even follows up with extra information that he talks about in sessions to help at home. He has been very flexible accomodating my schedule and reschedules. Can't recommend him more highly.

Saw Dr. Ho a while back and neglected to write this. It would be 5 stars were it not for one thing…read morethat happened. I got positive results in that it seemed to reduce the pain for which I went to see him and though it stopped working after a while, I don't attribute this to his practice but to that my system seems to get desensitized no matter the type of intervention. He is a man of few words and has a lot of confidence in his demeanor, which is fine, not that I wanted him to say any more than he was. Either it's his nurse or his receptionist, which might be his wife, who after the needles have been for a while, comes in and removes the needles. The office is centrally located and clean and neat inside, looking more like a house with a long narrow corridor and multiple rooms. The cost for services seems like the rate for this area, and though he does other stuff like cupping, I never got that done (only acupuncture). Once, what happened is: I walked there and back from my house, and as I was walking back from the acupuncture, noticed a horrific pain in my right calk. I never lifted my pant leg to see, I just kept walking. That's totally on me and my mistake. I should've stopped to see WTF was the matter. It wasn't till I got home and took off my pants, that I saw the needle still in my calf! He normally put needles all up and down my body,, and tbh, I always closed my eyes so never knew the exact locations. When I saw that needle, I freaked out, took it out. Called their office and massively complained. I was shocked that they were not more apologetic, and rather matter of fact. Huh? Is this a thing of such frequency in the acupuncture world that my reaction is overkill? Not sure. But still, it would've been nice to get a profuse apology and remorse/regret, but I didn't. I did go back after that, and in that visit, mentioned again the incident with the needle left in my calf, and he didn't seem all that bothered. Not long after that, a few visits more and I stopped.

Not recommend Dr. Ho Maybe he was really good…read more On the application their are so many questions which I thinks is too much But it looks like I am applying a loanU paid before services WHY

My body thanks me everyday since working with Dr. Wong. I…read morehad felt from various symptoms that my digestion was not good for a long time. Then, after one painful bloating incident, where others eating the same food had no issues, I decided to seek advice from Dr. Wong. From the beginning, Dr. Wong quickly educated me about her approach, how we would learn more about my situation, and how she proposed to treat my situation. Dr. Wong listened to me about my goals for myself, and we discussed a plan to which I was willing to commit. Within a few weeks of starting treatment, digestive changes were noticeable, and maybe I was also lucky that in a few months, my digestion became stable with regular healthy stool output. Through those observable improvements, I am certain Dr. Wong's treatments and advice, including a much reduced appreciation of wine, has resulted in distinctly improved digestion. As mentioned at the top, my body feels like it is internally working much better than before.

Dr. Wong was the first person to listen to me with empathy and care. She asked me about all my sicknesses and symptoms beyond my gastrointestinal issues. When I met Dr. Wong, I could not walk, eat, or stand without debilitating stomach pain and nausea, along with lethargy and hormone imbalances. After 4 months with Dr. Wong, I started to get my life back. You have to be regimented and willing to change your diet and consume many vitamins, but Dr. Wong heals. She is the kindest doctor I have ever met and I truly believe she saved my life!
