First let me start off by saying she is so sweet and her customer service and care is top tier. She…read morewas constantly making sure me and my other half were comfortable at all times and would encourage us to communicate if we weren't. The acupuncture itself worked for me, but not for my other half. I believe that it is truly dependent on anyone. My neck pain was brutal and almost felt like nerve pain. During the session it wasn't painful, it was a small pinch but nothing anyone can't handle. After we were finished, my neck was so relieved. It was truly like night and day. Regardless of the acupuncture not being for my partner, she said she would go back for just the cupping and not the needles. So I'm sure next time we are in need of either, this will be the place we go back to! The last thing I will say is that making the payment a sliding scale is so wonderful because everyone can experience this depending on their income! Which makes it inclusive which I really like! It says a lot about her as a healer and person. Try it out! Find out for yourself!

I came here in 2021 when I first visited Oahu and I was seeking a reliable place that does…read moreacupuncture. When I arrived here, the level of care I received was excellent and the price was super affordable. My neck pain went away after getting treatment here. Fast forward to 2026, I was in need of therapy for my neck again. It is definitely something with long flights and using pillows that I am not used to. Anyways, I should have called for a reservation because it is so busy here. I wasn't able to get the therapy this time, but I wanted to leave this long overdue review. The people here seems to really care about your well-being and treat you with kindness. They are located right next to the Waiola shave ice. There are several parking spaces.

I had a uterus and cervical biopsy today and Mei-Lin was able to calm my anxiety after the procedure and ease my cramps. She listens to all your concerns and provides acupuncture to help relieve the pain. Her continued respect for everyone's health concern is honorable, that is why she asks you to wear a mask in the office. I appreciate the fact that I can make an appointment or reschedule (48 hour notice) online. No hassles!

Dr. Mei-Lin is amazing!…read more In our quest for parenthood, I stumbled upon Maunakea Acupuncture. My Obgyn said to just continue trying and come back in a year if nothing happens. Me (being my impatient self) wanted to explore other possibilities. I'm still young and relatively healthy, so I was looking for a naturopathic option. She did an extensive consultation and walked me through the plan before we started acupuncture. She asked about things like my diet, lifestyle, and gave me great advice on what I should/shouldn't do. The next appointment was scheduled for acupuncture. I'm not sure if it was the timing or the stars just aligned. I immediately got pregnant after the first session! A pregnancy test confirmed it a month later on Father's Day. I saw her religiously during the first trimester and sparingly throughout my pregnancy. Based off my pulse, she was able to identify the baby's gender and confirmed we're having a boy! Now, a year later, we have a healthy and happy baby boy! I still see her once a month post partum to help my body heal. Thank you Dr. Mei-Lin! PS She also helped fix my reoccurring knee and ankle pains Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Phi Lan…read more I'm a veteran, and for years I dealt with constant back pain, monthly migraines, and other chronic issues. I had tried just about everything, and nothing really worked. After seeing Phi, my migraines are gone, my back pain is gone, and so many of my other issues have improved too. It honestly feels like a miracle. She's incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients. If you're on the fence about trying acupuncture, I can't recommend Phi Lan enough.

Update review: I saw Phi Lan for a few months to treat my migraines. I was having them 1-2 times…read moreper week, and could be debilitating, depending on how severe they were. After the course of treatment, I now only get them maybe once a month or two! A HUGE improvement if you ask me. One particular treatment where I had an active migraine, I could literally feel the pain leave my head as she moved the needles down to transition their flow (prickly sensation) to my feet- it was WILD. Not only did she help reduce my head pain and frequency significantly, but she always presented a very warm and welcoming environment. I'm not entirely a fan of needles, but she eased me into it, and ensured I was comfortable thru out the process (the heated bed helps). She always asked how each needle felt, if it needed more or less pressure, and offered to check in on me halfway thru the treatment. She also did some cupping, which was new to me, and help ease the tension coming down my neck and shoulders. Front desk staff are nice too, they remember you after a few treatments. Definitely recommend Phi Lan for any migraine treatment! She's the best!

I will say from the first time till now, I have been coming back to see Dr. Annie and I will tell…read moreyou that I am loving every bit of it! She is helping my body heal like it's never done before. I have sciatica and she could tell right away. I've never gotten acupuncture or gua sha on my hips so there's always a first for everything! I will tell you the moment after my treatment, I was able to lift my left leg very easily as before I can tell it was very tight. Jay and Micah are also very nice as well. Very pleasant people at this office. If you're looking to heal your body in a more holistic way, I would definitely recommend you come to see Dr. Annie Yang. You will definitely feel better every time you leave the clinic. Also as they say no pain no gain. Gua sha can be painful if you're not used to it and also cannot handle the pressure but I will tell you that after a few days your body will feel so much better!

I just got a call after being on the waitlist for 8 months, and told they're "going down the list"…read moreto reach out to waitlisted people. I was essentially told I had to decide that minute (like literally THAT MINUTE) if I would accept an upcoming appointment in a few weeks. I'm in treatment with a different acupuncturist - it's been 8 months after all - and I needed a moment to think about this. I wanted to review my care plan and goals after not hearing from this practice for so long. Very much caught off guard. I asked if I could have time to think (I wanted about an hour), and was told no - I would need to decide right then THAT MINUTE - and she needed to proceed down the waitlist. I felt extremely pressured to make a decision on the spot, in a very vulnerable aspect of health care - fertility and women's health. I was about to say yes, and then after thinking about it for the three seconds I had and how unprofessional this all felt - my answer turned to a hard "no." This practice made me feel like a mark, a number, an insignificant person on a list to get through until they hit their client booking goals. In spite of how talented a healer Edie Uchida might be, this policy is unfair and the person delivering this info, very cold.

Also, probably the best technique as well. This is t your average plastic suction cups, this is the real deal! The glass and fire cups!! This is the only type of cupping I like to do! It's like a hole in the wall at the beginning of Chinatown! The first time I went was probably a couple years ago! It was $20 for cupping only. Today it is $25 for cupping only! Very reasonable and affordable! The people there are very nice and when you walk into the shop, it is full of Chinese herbal medicine, pills, and patches!! When I got the cupping, I did a full body because I know I needed it! It felt so good afterwards when they took off the cups! I went in feeling stiff and came out feeling relaxed! I really needed it since my neck and back was hurting! They also put the Chinese white flower oil on my back afterwards too! If you haven't tried, definitely go and try it! The best hands down cupping on island! Just call in advance to make an appointment because they fill up quickly! Also they are only open 4 days of the week so make sure you check and always call, highly recommended!!

I've been coming to Drs Lee and Ku since January for a variety of treatments. It started with a…read morelingering cough over winter break, which cleared up after one acupuncture session with Dr Lee. Then I asked for ear seeding which Dr Ku did for me, which then evolved into fire cupping and facial acupuncture (coz I'm vain). I'm now lowkey addicted, even if my back looks like a giant (friendly) octopus gave me a hug with its tentacles. They're both very, very approachable, personable, and patient. I always ask questions to all my physicians and I can always tell when someone's itching to leave and/or getting impatient, but not once have I felt it here. Appointments are easy to schedule; while ok to call/text, it's best to do in person for multiple appointments. You'll get text messages confirming and reminding of appointments, and which you can reply to schedule appointments. One time I called wanting to schedule an appointment and Dr Lee was clearly busy but still very politely waited (until realization hit me and I let him go.) Highly recommended for holistic and traditional Chinese medicine. Very bright clinic with multiple treatment rooms and Classical music adds to the overall experience.

Needles have never been my favorite thing, so acupuncture was something I hesitated to try for a…read morelong time. After completing two treatment plans with the husband-and-wife doctor team at T. Y. LEE Oriental Medicine Center in Honolulu, my perspective on it has completely changed. What helped most was how patient and attentive they were in guiding me through the experience. They explained what they were doing, checked in throughout the appointment, and allowed me to ease into treatment at a pace that felt manageable rather than overwhelming. That approach made a big difference for someone like me who was nervous going in. During my visits I received electroacupuncture and fire cupping, and over time I began noticing encouraging changes in how my body responded -- particularly with tension relief and overall nervous system balance. Something I once avoided has become a treatment I now appreciate and even look forward to. The office is organized and professional, and appointments are handled with care and attention. One thing I appreciated is that they help schedule your next appointment before you leave, which makes it easy to stay consistent with treatment. Once you've been established as a patient, scheduling by text is also an option, which is very convenient. Their clinic is located at 1401 S Beretania St., Suite 300, and there is a parking structure available, making visits to the office much easier when coming into the area. For anyone who has been curious about acupuncture but feels unsure about needles, this practice provides a thoughtful and supportive introduction. My experience here helped turn something I once feared into something that now feels beneficial and approachable.
