I've been experimenting with acupuncture and it's ability to relax, relieve stress, and help with sleep seeing that I'm in a new stressful job setting... When you walk in its noted as a "quiet space," that all phones should be off. Denise met me in the seating area, and brought me back to her consultation room. She had the calmest demeanor as I explained to her the symptoms that I had been feeling and the goals that I would like to achieve with acupuncture. She told me what I might expect, answered my questions, and was realistic which I loved. She took a basic set of vitals, looked at my tongue and told me I could sit anywhere. This is a community/communal acupuncture experience. Everyone was quiet, sleeping, and or meditating. The acupuncturist came over to me, and sterilized my sites. She then inserted the tiniest needles. I could not even feel them. (The needles came from a sterile package). I proceeded to meditate, and fall asleep. When I woke up 40 minutes later, I was very relaxed. The price is good, and I experienced exactly what I wanted. I will be coming back. read more

Denise is wonderful. She is knowledgable and listens to what's going on with you and your body. One of my issues is sleep. Every time I visit, I fall asleep! She has helped me with various aches and pains. Ihave recommended her to several friends, each of whom has had a positive experience with her. Her space is extremely calming! read more

Initially started coming here for anxiety and gallbladder issues and I really love my experience coming here. The practitioner apologies I can't remember her name right now did a really great job of talking to me before and after appointments just to make sure that we were on the same page with my treatment. I haven't been in several months, however, just because Times are tight but I hope to return soon. read more

This place just feels extremely welcoming as soon as you step foot. My mom and I wanted to dabble in some holistic routes (her with help for her arthritis and myself for help with irregular cycles) Our concerns were listened to and the process was explained to us very clearly. We were told to pick a chair and relax as much as possible.. this was not difficult at all, both of us easily fell asleep during our session. More than one session is typically required, their schedule is somewhat accommodating, and the environment just overall makes the experience worth it! read more

Great place for health and wellness. they helped a lot with my back pain.

This place is amazing! You don't have to ask yourself if you should come here, just make the appointment & you can do that online. I have struggled with MS for over 5yrs & before acupuncture, it controlled every aspect of my life. I was unable to work, have a social life or take care of my four children. I started researching acupuncture as a treatment option & was hopeful, but the prices were absurd, then I found this place. Clean, professional, unbelievably affordable & amazingly well trained in eastern medicine. I now have few flare ups, I have a full time job, attend almost all my children's school functions, take care of housework & have a social life. I love this place. read more

People's Acupuncture Tx - This is called the dragon tail. - Acupuncture Near Me - Houston, Texas

I cannot recommend People's Acupuncture enough. I am unfortunately moving but would have continued coming here as long as I lived in Houston. The service provided is top tier and I always left feeling better. The sliding scale pricing is incredible - the owner truly makes acupuncture accessible. read more

Denise and People's Acupuncture are both amazing. The place feels like an oasis of healing!

Good golly Miss Molly...I just cannot rave enough about this place. You know how you stumble upon a happy accident. Me this place. I am so glad to have found a place that offers a sliding scale for such amazing service. Thank you for that! You see, since going through breast cancer then being laid off in 2015, my family's finances has been a bit shaky. I've had some chronic pain going on and when I am able to go twice a week for several weeks, my pain goes bye bye. I did not think anything would work. Chiro - NLP - Massage - Yoga - Warm Heat....and still suffering. UNTIL I met these two magical ladies. If you are an inner looper (even if you are an outer looper) this place is where you need to go. It is a very relaxing and caring atmosphere. Halley puppy says nameste as she settles in and relaxes. read more

The wonderful ladies at People's Acupuncture Tx have helped me get pregnant in the past and I'm currently back and receiving acupuncture as we're trying for another baby. I've also gotten help with hormonal headaches. It's community style and on a sliding scale, pay what you can afford, which I think is wonderful and makes acupuncture accessible to everyone in the community. Love this place! read more

Where do I start first! This place is amazing. I can't remember the last time I've felt the need to go on Yelp and write a review. First the ambiance of the place hits you when you first walk in. The atmosphere is sooo relaxing, it calms you instantly. I've always wondered about acupuncture and how it affects you, so granted I was a little nervous first off. However, Jennifer put all the anxiety to rest. She was so calm and personable, I got everything off of my chest that was bothering me. The needles did not hurt at all. I was so surprised by the process, it is amazing. Not to mention the affects of the acupuncture. I've been on cloud 9 the past couple of days. I don't know why I haven't done this sooner. I'll be back for sure! read more

Though I use Yelp consistently, this is my first review. I feel absolutely compelled to write a review of this service because of the amazing health benefits I have received in just a short span of treatment. I had wanted to try acupuncture for a long time but hadn't ever been quite brave enough to actually commit to an appointment. I am now incredibly sad I didn't try it sooner. If you suffer from any type of malady, whether you think it's significant or not, I can't think of a single reason not to try treatment from Denise. As other reviewers have mentioned, Denise is caring, thoughtful, and has a great sense of humor. She listens intently and it's very clear that the patient's well being is her number one priority. If you are at all apprehensive about acupuncture, Denise's practices should help immensely. Beyond the mere wonderful nature of Denise's care, the actual acupuncture itself has improved my sleep quality, energy level, and even though I didn't specifically ask for treatment for anxiety, as many people seeking acupuncture seem to, I feel at peace now in many situations that previously caused me stress. What's more, the herbs Denise recommended have worked wonders for the condition that drove me to acupuncture in the first place. That I can receive all this for $20/visit (which, right now, amounts to $20 a week) blows my mind. This is one of the best services I've ever encountered, hands-down, and true to holistic form, everything piece of the service works together to create a fantastic amenity. Again, if you're thinking about acupuncture, try it and try it here. read more

I have no other acupuncture experience to compare this to. I have only been twice. Do I feel qualified to write a review? Yes! I am a believer in People's Acupuncture Tx. I was having intense elbow pain. After a visit to an orthopedic and some x-rays, I was diagnosed with lateral epicodylitis (tennis elbow). The initial treatment was 2 weeks of prescription anti inflammatories, some stretches and exercises. By the end of 2 weeks, I was worse than before. So I started looking at the acupuncture option. I found the great reviews here on Yelp, and I got a rec from a neighbor. So I went to http://www.peoplesacupuncturetx.com/ and loved their website. It was extremely informative! Not to mention you can set your appointment online. And for first timers, you can download the paperwork, so you can fill everything out in advance. I was REALLY nervous the day of the appointment. I woke up from a dream of a rainbow colored alien carjacking me, taking me somewhere and running medical tests. The office is located in a strip center off Richmond. There is plenty of parking. When you walk in, there are signs for Quiet. Denise will come out, greet you and take you back to her office for a consult. As you walk back you'll see the acupuncture area which is open with about 8 chairs, There is light music playing creating a very relaxing atmosphere. Once you tell Denise what ails you, you go out to the open area and pick a chair. Denise will then start with the needles. I was so surprised - you barely feel anything! For the first visit, she recommends at least 45 minutes which goes by quickly. The next day, my elbow did not feel much better, and I was bummed. But over the course of 3 days, I was moving my arm in ways I had not been able to for weeks! I went back for a second treatment. Denise used a few more needles this time. I got so zoned, I had the needles in for almost and hour and a half! The effects are amazing. The other cool thing about this place is you decide what you can afford to pay. Denise gives you the range, and you let her know what you are comfortable with. Incredible. If you have any aches or pains that you have not been able to conquer, I highly recommend trying acupuncture and People's Acupuncture Tx. read more

I started hunting for an acupuncturist a few weeks ago to help deal with the carpal pain I've had for a long time. I've always had issues with my right arm and stress levels have been at a high for a few months. I booked an appointment with Denise, based on reviews on this site, and am very thankful I have found her. She's incredibly informative and seems to love her job, offering advice on what I could do to feel better and is completely nonjudgmental. If I tell other people what I'm suffering through, it sounds like I'm kind of whining from all my issues. But all my health issues are real so it's nice to have someone take me seriously. The first time, I was a bit scared and did have a hard time relaxing. But the way she applies the needles is amazing. There is almost no pain and if there, it's a minor stinging that she can fix by moving the needle. I felt a warm sensation after she applied it on my right arm, the arm with the most pain, and after the session, felt better. As time progressed, my arm actually felt a lot better and I was thrilled at the results. She did recommend that you get acupuncture done for a month the first time you, mostly to keep relaxing your nerves or muscles and to help heal any injuries you might have. After that, maintenance is every two weeks or more if you don't feel any pain. I've just ended by second session with her and feel like a pro. I've also learned to relax and she did ask me if any new issues have arisen. Based on this, she applied more needles in different points than the firs time. I was so relaxed, I fell asleep! I'm definitely following up with her for my next two sessions. Only downfall is that her hours are only on certain days and she's only there til 3pm. So, you may have to go during your lunch hour. read more

After finding out about Denise on here, I decided to give it a try... This was my 3rd visit and I am truly seeing results. My stress level has done a total 180. Im so calm now its starting to scare others and myself!!! ha! I def see a drop in my sinus/allergy/congestion issues as well. She is a very cool caring attentive person and she works with your budget and schedule!!! read more

Rachel is great. She understands me. Her technique is great, I do not feel most of the needles at all. If i feel them is because i am too sensitive that day. It is a relief to know she is not trying to rip you off. She asks how much I want to pay! She takes appointments on Sunday. So convenient for me. read more

I must admit I was a skeptic about acupuncture, I am now a believer. Denise is kind, caring, and a wonderful listener. I went to her for anxiety and stress. I constantly have a knot in my back throbs with pain. Denise performed "cupping" on my back which is like a reverse massage. After one treatment my pain was gone. A miracle....Also, I slept much better and woke up feeling refreshed. It was a fantastic experience... read more

I came to People's Acupuncture to gain regularity in my menstrual cycle after trying both Western medicine and my own natural remedies with little to no success. Not only did I begin ovulating after just one appointment, but my cycles evened out and I feel so much better and in-tune with my body! The People's Acupuncture space is incredibly calming and all three acupuncturists know their stuff--I've been to them all and have had painless, relaxing sessions every time. I can't recommend People's Acupuncture enough! The price is super affordable and you don't have to sacrifice quality care to get it. read more

Denise was very knowledgeable and diagnosed my issues right off. She suggested meds that were herbal and seems like it worked for some of my symptoms over night. I am very pleased with the service received. I am highly recommending this business for anyone suffering from any and all types of ailments. I can only speak on the quality of service received from Denise...she is awesome. The sliding pay scale shows that they are in business to HELP people feel better. You can pay based on what you can afford, which really helps the service be affordable for everyone. read more

People's Acupuncture Tx - Acupuncture Near Me - Houston, Texas

There was a miscommunication on their part with a gift certificate I purchased for my mom's first visit. When my mom went to pay no one communicated among their office that a gift certificate was on file for my mom. When my mom told them that I had paid for her visit, instead of looking to see if there was a gift certificate on file for her, they told her that "Your daughter had only held your appointment with her credit card--she hadn't actually paid for it." So my mom paid out of pocket. I contacted the office and the gift certificate I purchased was refunded that same night. They are a small business without a receptionist so it may be wise to double check to make sure your gift certificates are confirmed and visible to everyone before you send your family or friend to their service. I thought calling ahead and confirming my gift certificate was unnecessary seeing as how streamlined and easy their website is, but here I was wrong. I appreciate that the conflict was resolved quickly. I know this is a small business and they don't have a receptionist to keep the costs low--but all the more reason to be on your game. Don't let the phrase "You get what you pay for" apply to you. read more

Tried out People's Acupuncture because of the cost and good online reviews. WOW! I never would have imagined how well this works! Inexpensive, painless, and works fast! I ruptured my ACL about 2 years ago and experience daily pain despite physical therapy, icing, heating, special lotions, etc. Every morning I have to force my leg straight just to be able to walk. THE NEXT DAY AFTER MY FIRST SESSION I woke up and stretched, no pain. None! It automatically straightened out completely and I felt nothing. After the second session I was able to bend my knee completely (Something I've only been able to accomplish about 4 times before with intense and painful stretching). I've seen Rachel both times, and plan to continue making appointments w her. I recommend this place to everyone I know. Mind blown! read more

I gave this place a shot after reading reviews on yelp. I went in with severe pain (nerve overreaction from bulging disks in my neck) and started going every week. I noticed a significant decrease in my pain level immediately and the pain was nonexistent after 4 weeks. The treatment also relieved numbness in my index finger that was present for 6 months. I should note I have been in physical therapy and paid weekly visits to a chiropractor before. I don't want to downplay the importance of prior treatments: however, in the past one year, I have not felt better. I received treatments from Denise and Rachel stepped in for two sessions. Denise, thank you for making me feel like my old self. It is an amazing feeling. You are an amazing person and I am thankful for all your care and attention. read more

Best acupuncture in H-town! Denise Saad is just fabulous. I could not believe how well I started feeling after only one session. But even more amazing is how my mother in law just went for a session and when done, she even forgot that she needed her cane to walk. Hard to explain. I'm just grateful that a friend told me about it. read more

I have been going in for a weekly session to improve stimulation for an upcoming IVF procedure in 6 weeks. I have been going for about 5 sessions now and noticed other improvements. My blood pressure has normalized, usually high. My heart rate which my doctor was concerned about has also gone down. According to my Fitbit my old resting heart rate was high 90s and now it has been in the low 80s. I haven't been doing anything different. Denise is great. She is calm and knowledgeable. I will keep coming as I am experiencing great benefits so far. The price is cheaper than most places. You do lack privacy since there is more than 1 patient at a time in a large room but I do not mind it at all since you stay fully dressed anyway. The chairs are comfortable. The music is relaxing. Definitely a great way to unwind. read more

I had my 1st ever acupuncture treatment today with Jennifer - it was great. She was very patient, listening to my background, asking questions to find connections to my different symptoms for the best recommendations and needle placement. The treatment went well, I wasn't sure what to expect exactly - I did feel relaxed, it did not hurt, I could feel some of the needles when placed, but not painful. Looking forward to my follow up visit! read more

I haven't had much experience with acupuncture - aside from playing pincushion for a friend while she was studying and practicing - but I had always heard how effective it can be in treating a variey of ailments. I wanted to try it, but it was hard to find practitioners that I could afford. I am thankful that People's Acupuncture opened right when I really needed them. When my husband and I were having difficulty conceiving our second child, I was diagnosed with a high FSH level (most practitioners of Western medicine will write you off if you have a high FSH level). I had read quite a bit about acupuncture helping women with high FSH - in many cases lowering their levels and helping them to conceive. I wanted to try acupuncture first, to take a more holistic approach, before resorting to Western fertility treatments (potentially invasive, definitely expensive and not always effective). The morning after my first treatment, I couldn't believe how good I felt - more rested, calm, balanced than I ever remember feeling. I had a few more weekly treatments and was taking my recommended herbs until I found that I was pregnant! It turns out that we conceived our second child after the VERY FIRST treatment (and that same month, my FSH level was 13). I am now 23 weeks into a very healthy pregnancy. If I lived closer, I would continue to visit People's Acupuncture for all my acupuncture needs. They are thorough, effective, respectful and affordable on any budget. read more

Denise is wonderful. She's intuitive and really knows and understands the body on so many levels. She's warm and really cares that everyone feels better. She's made it easy to get to, easy to schedule and affordable to go on a regular basis. I've had a lot of acupuncture and this place is one I highly recommend. read more

When I started going to acupuncture 6 weeks ago, I was having 44 day menstrual cycles. Well after only 5 weeks of acupuncture, and taking some Traditional Chinese Herbs, I had my first 29 day cycle!! I couldn't believe it. I did not expect to see such a dramatic change so quickly. I'm definitely going to keep going, and hopefully have more normal cycles that will eventually result in a pregnancy! Acupuncture is definitely worth a try. read more

I was recently diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and have been suffering for over a year trying to find the diagnosis. Once diagnosed, I wanted to opt out of steroids and pain pills and try to attack the actual issue naturally. Although AS is a progressive disease and there's no cure, I was hoping to at least get some sort of relief. Not only is Maria is super easy to talk to (bless her heart, she was basically a therapist my first visit), but she is gentle, sincere, and I can tell she really wants to help me feel better. I have dramatically reduced my Prednisone intake...going from 15-20mg every day to maybe 5-10mg once or twice a week. I'm going to continue going, and am so thankful for the sliding pay scale as my medical bills are out the @$$ from all of this! Thank you Maria!! read more

I am always skeptical when trying a new place. I've been visiting People's Acupuncture for about a year. I feel comfortable and at ease here. Privately, I suffer from service related PTSD and have additionally suffer great loss. I feel these guys have not only listened, but tailored my treatments with detail and compassion. read more

I found Denise through Yelp and I am SO GLAD I DID. I have terrible back pain due to bulging cervical discs. Just one session has already eased so much of the pain! Denise is very kind and soothing. I'me excited about seeing her on a regular basis to work on getting and staying healthy. Thanks to Yelp reviewers!! read more

This place will change your life. I've had chronic neck and back pain since I was 20 and weekly acupuncture helps keep the pain at bay. Denise, Rachel, and Maria are all fantastic people and extremely good at what they do! So happy I have this to look forward to each week. read more

This place is so wonderful and peaceful. I was scared to try acupuncture for a long time, but I am a total convert. I see Brian, and he is very knowledgeable, sensitive, and kind. I know the acupuncture is helping with my issues, and I am very grateful. I highly recommend this place. read more

I cannot say enough great things about People's Acupuncture! Denise is highly skilled and very personable. It is very clean and inviting. I saw positive results after my first treatment. I am just mad at myself for not going sooner. read more

Great place. After a month of going once a week, my blood pressure has dropped, which is great. I'm very happy I found this place. Overall, I feel a lot better. read more

I've seen a handful of acupuncturists prior to finding Denise and there's no one like her. She listens, cares about her patients (which is hard to come by these days!) and her methods are effective. Love her! read more

I have been to higher price acupuncture clinc. The acupuncturist was uncaring and cold and I did not get much out of the session. I decided to go try Denise out although I was not expecting anything I was very surprised and delighted at the results. I was in a lot of pain and could barely move my neck and shoulders. Denise listened to my concern and came up with a plan that is best for me. She adjusts the plans based on my needs for that week. Denise is wonderful and caring. I recommend her to everyone even a skeptical person. I was a skeptic about acupuncure and she made a believer out of me. Try her out!!! read more

Love this place and Denise! I have been coming here for almost 3 years now for insomnia and stress (Thanks a lot Russell & Smith Mazda- jerks!) and Denise and Maria have really helped me a lot. They are also very affordable and easy to work with. Signing up online makes things much easier as well as being able to cancel within a 12 hour period of time. Having a group acupuncture sessions makes it so much more affordable! read more

I cannot recommend them more! I see Racheal - she is kind hearted , her approach is tailored to her patients, and she really listens carefully to find the right treatment plan. In the weeks I have been going the improvement in my life has been visible and noticeable . I always leave feeling refreshed, spiritually receptive and relaxed . read more

This my first review in Yelp. I had a problem with left arm, a little "irregular movement or shock" was enough to result in a terrible pain on my arm. This has been going on for weeks. Doctor keep giving me pain killer and asked me to exercise more regularly. But again every time I have a little irregular pressure or movement , I was in pain. Some friends suggested acupuncture. My wife had acupuncture before, but the cost was not cheap and to make it worse insurance didn't pay it. I found Denise through Yelp and read through the reviews which all 5 stars. I contacted Denise and I absolutely agree with other reviewers, Denise is caring, thoughtful, good listener. After being treated by Denise for may be 10 - 12 times, my arm improve and now I don't have that problem any more. well done Denise, thanks a lot I don't hesitate to recommend Denise service to anyone needed acupuncture. $20.00 per visit is very affordable no body can beat it and most important it works. If you're thinking about acupuncture, you need to see Denise first. read more
