A visit lasts 1 hour, and meter parking is in front or free on the side streets. They accept credit cards and the entire staff is always comforting and professional. A friend recommended Dr. Jing after multiple MCs. After acupuncture and herbal tea, she gave birth naturally at 40. Upon research, Dr. Jing used to be an OBGYN in Beijing before moving to the US and is now a Professor of TCM at multiple colleges. The doctors here are familiar with IVF clinics and practice and offer valuable insight throughout. I've been coming here on a weekly basis (sometimes bi-weekly) since June 2018. My regimen was to drink a daily herbal tea & weekly acupuncture to combat endometriosis and get pregnant. 9/10 times I fall asleep with the needles in my face, scalp, neck, hand, stomach, legs, and feet. I switched to Dr. Lim due to the cost per visit as it's been over 1 year of treatment. I can say with confidence that all of the doctors are professional and kind. After 14 months, 1 laparoscopy and 2 egg retrievals and 2 FETs, I am now pregnant at age 38. I also saw Dr. Hart for cupping when I came down with a cold/flu. I highly recommend the yellow travel pills at the onset of getting sick. They totally work at preventing full blown illness, and I recovered much faster than usual with less phlegm/mucus and zero downtime. I have only gotten semi-sick one time since beginning treatment here. I believe that TCM currently accepts Blue Shield of CA PPO Silver and above. TCM will gladly provider a superbill for other providers, but expect to be denied by ASH. I also saw certain A list actors here on occasion so if it's good enough for them...it's surely good for me too!

I'm writing this with great disappointment because when I first started seeing Dr. Miao at TCM, I…read morewas very pleased with the care and experience I received. The office staff is very polite and pleasant, too. My doula highly recommended them to help induce labor because my husband and I were set on having a home birth and hoped to avoid reaching 42 weeks and needing to give birth in a hospital. We saw her three times, and labor did not start, despite also trying other natural induction methods. We assumed it was because my baby and body weren't ready yet, and that it had nothing to do with the acupuncture care I was receiving. At the time of this appointment, I was approximately 41 weeks and 3-5 days pregnant, depending on which medical professional's due date we used. Our maternal-fetal medicine specialist had told us that the baby was healthy and that the assessments--including amniotic fluid, non-stress testing, umbilical cord blood flow, and estimated weight--were all normal. Our midwife felt confident recommending additional natural induction methods and believed electroacupuncture and leave-in press tacks could be highly effective at this point in the pregnancy. When I saw Dr. Miao, I asked for those specific treatments. She refused to do the leave-in press tacks because, in her opinion, they weren't necessary. She also kept urging me to go to the hospital for the birth because I was past my due date, even though our care plan allowed for continued monitoring and a home birth before 42 weeks. I tried to explain that our midwife would not deliver the baby at home if I reached 42 weeks and would insist on transferring care to the hospital, as that is medical standard care for midwifery. That was already our backup plan. There is also a hospital approximately a mile from our home; all of this was accounted for in our birth plan. Also, many women that I've met during my pregnancy gave birth exactly at 42 weeks because that's when their baby was ready to come into the world. She went on to explain that the baby was continuing to gain weight, that there wouldn't be enough space for him to move around, and that, given my size, it could be dangerous for both of us. She also said that being too big could cause health problems for him later in life; however, those statements were particularly upsetting to me. My brother was born weighing 9 pounds, and my understanding is that C-section delivered him because the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, not because he was too big. He is now 34 and has no health issues. My friend's older brother was born vaginally, weighing 10 pounds, and has no known health issues in his mid-30s as well; his mother is also quite small. Though there may be evidence to support what she is saying, based on these experiences, her comments about size and future health do not mean that it will happen to my baby. Under the plan established with our birth team, I still had approximately 2-4 days to continue trying to encourage labor naturally and deliver at home before transferring to hospital care if necessary. I kept gently insisting on the leave-in press tacks, but she kept refusing and told me to get on the table. Part of me thought I should leave and find another acupuncturist, but I went ahead and lay on the table for the electroacupuncture treatment, which was fine. But still, the end of the session ended with her urging me to go to the hospital if I had not given birth by the end of the week, and again, this is already in our birth plan, but she would not listen to me. However, what felt to me like fear-mongering and overstepping--when we already had specialist monitoring, a midwife overseeing our care, and a hospital backup plan--was unnecessary and left a bad taste in my mouth. I promptly let my midwife know what had happened, and she recommended another acupuncturist in our area, who was an OB in China, and specializes in fertility, prenatal, and postnatal care. After speaking with him about what I needed and how far along I was, he said he could provide the treatments we were seeking. My husband and I paid over $8,000 to have a home birth, so of course, we're going to follow our midwife's advice, who has over 15 years of experience overseeing prenatal care and delivering babies, and we're doing everything in our control to ensure it happens. Still, we're also very mindful that if we reach past the medical standard of 42 weeks, a hospital birth will be necessary. It wasn't right that, as an expecting mother who had thoroughly researched and discussed with her family and birth team a detailed plan for the birth of our baby only to be filled with fear, dread, and told to get on a table, rather than receive care and support, by an acupuncturist and pay $120 for the treatment and experience. I take responsibility for not leaving immediately and finding someone else who was willing to help. It would have been better if she had politely declined my request.

Dr. T will hone in on your specific issues with kindness and good humor. I saw vast improvement in my shoulder pain and after only a month or two I was back to exercising at full strength.

I absolutely love my time with Jennifer. She's helping me take care of chronic lower back pain…read moreduring a very difficult period of time in my life. I've been suffering from two herniated disks, a product of a structural defect in my spine combined with highly stressful personal circumstances. Jennifer offers unique qualities that come from her indomitable spirit. First, she is highly intuitive and knows often without asking where her treatment needs to focus for the day. (I remember once she took one look at me and said "We're working on your sacrum because you didn't sleep last night," and she was 100% correct.) Secondly, through her creativity and her huge heart, she conveys a kind of female strength, self-assuredness, and quirky joy that is quite rare and powerful. Just getting treatment from her has helped me think of more proactive and creative responses to certain life challenges. This is absolutely related to my physical treatment, because those challenges, when inadequately handled, drive the overwork, sleeplessness, and self-neglect that make my pain chronic. Thirdly, Jennifer deals with insurance head-on, generously manages my provider on her own (in the past I have had to do this work), and keeps me updated consistently. I don't think there is anything in this world more irritating than the insurance dance, and so I'm incredibly grateful. Acupuncture is a holistic system. An effective acupuncturist must understand that our minds, bodies, hearts, and contexts form an ecosystem which shapes our pain and our healing. An effective acupuncturist therefore must be flexible enough to approach a problem from many different angles with this in mind. Jennifer is this kind of therapist. I recommend Jennifer for anyone, but especially for young adult women like myself seeking to find poise, balance, and vitality during the inevitable growing pains of our age.

I don't usually waste my time to write a review unless I want to complain something…read more However, this literally is the first time I intend to give a GOOD review with FIVE STARS. I had never believed in Chinese herbs or Chinese Traditional treatments since you barely see the results in a short of time------Everyone wants the fastest results. I have never been sleeping well since I was a child. I didn't even have a plan to sleep regularly, and this made my health condition terribly horrible. I could sleep from 5am, 7am 11am, 1pm anytime that you can come up with but not the correct time which should be around 10-12pm. Bad sleeping visually took me on the path to MADNESS. I can be so mad and angry with any little things happened during the day. Many of my good friends left due to my bad temper, and they recommended me to see a doctor. I never feel like my brain is waken up anytime during the day, I'm tired of doing everything, and I feel sleepy during the day and I'm so excited at night. No matter what I just cannot fall asleep at night by 4am. I don't like say but I have diabetes at the same time so it makes the curing more difficult. Also, I have been training with trainers in the gym over 6 years, but i didn't get any results. I controlled my diet and I workout regularly but nothing happened. Doctor Lin changed my life and lifestyle, and she made me completely refresh in every way. After consulting with her for like an hour and half long, she explained me everything that my body is experiencing. Once you talk with her you will understand that she really loves her job as a doctor. She's not trying to lie to you telling you a worse situation so she can take advantage from you and ask you for more sessions and purchase the medicine and herbs. She, it's more like your personal doctor that you can trust. After finishing the consulting, she just asks me to do little step by step starting with going to the bed earlier, and she persuades me that any terrible things happening is due to my bad lifestyle especially for sleeping. Also, she didn't ask me to purchase any herbs or medicine from her instead she asked me to go to whole food to get some stuffs like tremella which can help me better dealing with my illness. She is so supportive and responsible, she is sending messages asking me to check in my food and what time I go to bed. (By the way, if you decide to consult with her, follow whatever she asks you to do, do it for yourself not for her. Even though she will push you hard. ) I was always thirsty and no matter how many times I drink water I don't feel it's enough. Now it's been a while and I feel like I'm back on the track. Now when it comes to 11pm I'll feel sleepy and I can fall asleep any seconds, not kidding!! Seriously!!! And recently I needed to wake up early for my work around 6am and I feel so awakened and my brain is clear and I don't need the coffee at alllll!!! Also, all of my friends and even my trainer see that I changed completely. I'm now a more positive person without complaining. I'm now just like a NIKE style------Just do it. My body fat also suddenly went down a lot from 17% to 14%. It had been 17% for a while and could not continue going down. I saw the significant changes on my body through the mirror. I don't understand how come the Chinese treatment is so good and efficient, and I don't even know how to explain the magic spelled on my body. But please find a good Chinese doctor as Doctor Lin, she will perform a magic on you! Chinese traditional treatments and doctors and herbs, the best!!

When I first met Dr. Lin, I did not know much about acupuncture. I was a bit apprehensive because…read moreat the time I was unsure that it would help with the sleep problems I was having, the lack of energy and gut health issues I was experiencing, not to mention the stress I was feeling because of these symptoms.

Dr. Lin has given me significant advice on continuing to improve my overall health. Through acupuncture and her suggestions for me my overall health has tremendously improved naturally. Dr. Lin is so patient, meets you where you are, is warm and knowledgeable about acupuncture and how the human body reacts naturally to it. I am happy to leave this review of Dr. Lin and the Healing Moon Clinic.

WOW! I don't even know where to start! But ANGELA HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!…read more I have been working with Angela since April 2018 when I happened to stumble upon her at her previous practice. From DAY 1, I knew she was a talented acupuncturist, caring & amazing human! I was deathly afraid of needles and she was gentle and with held so much compassion as I worked through my fears of needles. I originally came to Angela because I didn't have a period for 3 years and suffered a plethora of other hormonal Imbalances due to Bodybuilding & severe dieting. I would religiously go to my acupuncture sessions 1x/week where she guided me through my ENTIRE healing process! 7 months into working with Angela, I got my period back!!! And 10 months into working with her I had a FULLY normal blood panel! May seem like a LONG time but it actuality, for how screwed up my hormones were and the damage I had done to my body over the course of 3 years, 7 months is NOTHING! She is well-educated in literally everything about holistic healing and has even helped guide me down a spiritual path where she suggested I start yoga! She answers all my questions from health, wellness, sexuality to spirituality! I'm going to say Angela is MORE than just an Acupuncturist! SHE IS A FULL BLOWN HEALER! I trust her WITH MY LIFE! My clients go to her, my mom NOW goes to her, my friends go to her! I'm pretty sure all of social media and everyone that I come in contact with, know about Angela! SHE IS A BLESSING!!!

However, I did think her information and inquiry delivery and client care could be greatly improved. I waited ten minutes past my appointment time since she wasn't ready and I don't think she was currently seeing a patient before me. Before my treatment started, she kinda rushed me through the paperwork and just had me fill out the portion that asked what health issues I wanted to address. I brought up that I had upper back pain as well as anxiety. After the treatment, she pressed down on my back (normal) and then squeezed my arms (which may have also been normal if the needles were there) and said "I think you need to work on your weight". Now, I acknowledge that she followed up with questions about weight gain and the potential for hypothyroidism but her delivery made me a bit uncomfortable. Finally, throughout my appointment she kept bringing up my insurance and how I should check to see if it covers acupuncture so I can come back, and even add cupping. This just felt pushy and all things considered, I'd much rather go somewhere else and also address my weight with a PCP.
