I was treated by Dr. Jay Ryu last month for a sciatic nerve condition that was unbearable, I had trouble walking and experienced excruciating pain when I tried to step down on my left foot. I am now 100% free of this sciatic nerve issue which I had suffered from for the past six months. I am so thankful for Dr. Ryu, his helpful staff and the overall atmosphere in his acupuncture office.

I decided to see Dr Ryu after not getting relief from western medicine for health ailments that have been popping up here and there. He checked my pulse, looked at my tongue, and was able to name off symptoms I was experiencing before I even told him my chief complaint. He was even able to pinpoint little aches here and there that I didn't bother mentioning. Working long hours, not getting adequate rest, not eating well enough for a prolonged period took a toll on my liver health which then created a domino effect on my other organs. I started to receive acupuncture at least once a week. Unlike western medicine, which yields quicker relief of symptoms but doesn't necessarily cure you, TCM requires patience to fix your bodily imbalances and target the root cause. Dr Ryu explained that many issues were created over a long period of time that you can't expect to be reversed overnight. A few months in, I realized I started having periods with minimal PMS symptoms (breast tenderness, cramping, moodiness). When I brought that up, he explained that normal periods weren't supposed to hurt. They were supposed to be free of PMS symptoms, clot-free, and not debilitating. Shocking because these are all "normal" in western medicine. It was through this that I was able to see the magic of TCM. It's been several months since I've started treatment and although I'm not at 100% yet, I'm now educating myself on how to better support my body through TCM. Office staff are all friendly and efficient. Their waiting room is small and does fill up fast but their processes run smoothly. Dr Ryu puts in the needles, Veronica removes them. Despite it being a bit of a drive for me, I'm willing to make the trip out because I learn something new every time I come in. On my most recent visit, Jennifer was telling me they also offer fire cupping which might help relieve stagnations for people like myself, a nurse who works long, laborious hours. They actually have a healthcare discount so that's something that I can recommend to my friends and coworkers to try some day too! read more

I had never had acupuncture before so having this experience has been key to my recovery from ankle/foot surgery and trauma from a bike accident. Dr. Jay listens and has a unique way of just figuring out what needs to be done. Absolutely mind blowing. I highly recommend. read more

My favorite place to go to on a weekly basis! I cannot thank the staff and Dr. Ryu enough for carefully treating my year long chronic pain. I started off 2022 with muscular pain in the neck and left shoulder. Western medicine treatments only made my pain worsen. I woke up, spent my day and went to sleep in chronic pain for over 6 months. Then I chose Dr. Ryu after reading reviews from others. And I'm so glad that I did. I've been treated there for 6 months now and I have seen a huge improvement. My pain is no longer chronic, and I wake up feeling so much better. The best way to describe my experience in being treated here is that I see the light at the end of the tunnel! The business is family owned and the everyone is beyond friendly and nice. Very very clean facility. And Dr. Ryu goes above and beyond just poking needles where you say it hurts. He, along with the rest of the team, take their time to talk to you, listen to you, and offer recommendations for ways of improve your quality of life. I'm so happy I listened to other reviews and chose this facility. I have been recommending them to friends and family and highly recommend to everyone else! read more

My journey with Ryu Acupuncture began in 2019. I started sessions after referral from a colleague I work with that had had success with his treatments and became naturally pregnant after infertility. Dr. Ryu is extremely knowledgeable in his specialty and I do believe it was because of his treatments that in 2019, I successfully became pregnant with my first son after my embryo transfer procedure post IVF. I resumed treatments December 2020 in hopes for another successful pregnancy in conjunction with IVF. This course I also opted to utilize his Chinese herbs (formulated specific to his assessment based on your bodies needs.) I took the herbs for 2 months consecutively. Not only did his treatments normalize the intervals between my menstrual cycles but also successfully aided in my second pregnancy, this time naturally conceived. The office staff is friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. The office is clean and presentable. Current covid protocol require temperature checks, masks, and face shields. A few times I've had to reschedule appointments and the clinic is very flexible to your needs. I can't wait until the resume a full weeks schedule as Thursday's would be best for me and currently due to covid the are not open Tuesday's and Thursday's. There are not enough words to describe how good Dr. Ryu is along with his staff. Patience is key when undergoing acupuncture treatments as it is a process but whatever your goal is upon seeking treatment, just no that you will get the results you desired. read more

This place was nice very clean and new expensive looking, the doctor makes really bad jokes. The odd thing was he only did acupuncture in my hands even after telling him what has worked for me in the past was acupuncture on my back and cupping. I was surprised when I saw what his company tried to bill insurance. They tried to say a few seeds on my ear and two needles in my hand was a $4000.00 procedure. Yes 4k. After seeing that I understand why the office had a lot of nice upgrades. Despite always wanting a o support Korean owned businesses, I will never go back here again. Hopefully I can find a place that actually helps people and doesn't try to scam insurance. read more

Dr.Ryu is such a woonderful acupuncturist! He listens to your pain and treats you with care! I really liked that they made sure I fill out the patient info form, and asked questions related to COVID. The facility had lots of sanitary equipments and I felt safe, since I've been very cautious with the virus. When I first made an appointment, I spoke with Jennifer and she was so helpful and answered all my questions at length. My neck was tense from sitting on the desk for so long from work and my elbow nerve was bothering me when I leaned on my desk. Dr.Ryu asked many questions to understand me better and checked my pulse carelly. Then he put the needles on my hand and explained to me how certain needles are connected in my body part. It's been a week and now my elbow is feeling so much better and I definitely feel less tense on my left shoulder! If you're scared of needles just like me, Ryu Acupuncturist will change your perception about needles! I've gone to many acupuncturists and some of them put the needle in a wrong place and makes it hurt and uncomfortable even after the treatment. Dr.Ryu's treatment was so smooth and gentle, and I feel so much better! I found it so hard to find acupuncturists who actually treats patients with care these days, and I'm so glad I found Dr.Ryu who I can trust. read more

*Allergies dramatically improved* I came to Dr Ryu in 1/2022 with severe hayfever and sinus headaches. I've had hayfever for 20 years and only been taking OTC medicine for it despite seeing allergists who told me there's "nothing they could do for me". The results with Dr Ryu have been nothing short of amazing. I've been seeing him twice per week for Acupuncture for two months now and added in his custom-made blend of Chinese herbs. The herbs are a miracle. Not only has my hayfever been cut in half on a consistent basis but inflammation I've had from an autoimmune disease has lessened down to a most nothing. Also, I haven't had a sinus headache since I started seeing him. In addition, my mother started seeing him for circulatory issues in her feet and ankles and this issue has improved a lot as well. I would highly recommend him and his staff. read more

My husband threw out his back the day before my due date with our first baby. His sciatica flared up with the stress of work and my pregnant hormones. Luckily, through the referral of his coworkers he found Dr. Ryu who immediately said he could come in the same day--a Saturday afternoon! The last time my husband had this issue, it took 3 months of chiropractic treatments. With a baby on the way, we didn't have three months for his back to heal. We were desperate and he wasn't in-network so it was extremely expensive for new parents-to-be. We trusted that Dr. Ryu would be able to help and provide an intensive week-long treatment. All the while, there I was a week overdue waiting for husband to heal and the baby to arrive. My OB threatened to induce labor with pitocin--totally against my wishes for a natural, drug-free birth since I had GD and he wouldn't let me go past 41 weeks. I went with my husband on a visit and we chatted briefly about how I was overdue. Dr. Ryu mentioned his success with inducing labor so it was worth a try instead of drug induction or mandatory c-section. I went in for 4 consecutive sessions and went into labor during the Sunday his office was closed. Was able to labor at home for two days and arrived at the hospital at 7 cm in active labor! We really owe Dr. Ryu a huge thanks for helping with healing my husband's back, inducing my labor, and allowing me to have manageable labor pains. We're blessed with a happy, alert little baby boy. My husband was able to lift his little guy and helped me postpartum as his back healed quickly. read more

I love Dr. Ryu and everyone in his office! I had been to Dr. Ryu's office several times for various aches and pains, but in March 2020, just before the initial shutdown, I started seeing him for fertility issues and continued seeing him throughout the pandemic. The office adopted safety measures quickly, and I always felt comfortable and safe going there. Since I was working from home and was avoiding contact with pretty much everyone, I saw Dr. Ryu more than anyone else, other than my husband, and the office became essentially my quarantine pod. I'm so grateful to everyone there for the warmth and exceptional care that was shown to me. I did treatments and took herbal medicine through the end of last year, and I'm happy to say that treatments were successful, and I'm expecting my baby later this year. read more

Tried to make an appointment using my insurance and without seeing my insurance or looking into it Lucy said my insurance doesn't cover treatment. When I pointed out that they hadn't seen my ins. and my current acupuncturist can bill it just fine Lucy changed her story and said they simply don't accept ins. for my treatment. Tried to sell me on 'packages' before I was even seen. read more

I have been suffering with chronic pain for years. My only relief came from painkillers and they would make me a zombie. Then I found Dr. Ryu and he said he could help me. I no longer rely on painkillers to get through the day and I rarely take them. This man is a magician. I've been able to work full time and not wish for death every night. I can enjoy my life again. Thanks Doc. Shout out to Lucy at the front desk. She keeps everything moving smoothly and is a pro dealing with any hiccups from insurance companies. read more

Dr Ryu is a miracle worker. I've had tinnitus for a solid year and I've done what one is supposed to do: see an ENT, get an MRI, take a lot of vitamins, and after minimal improvement, I thought I would be stuck with the ringing in my ears for life. As I write this, I have zero tinnitus and full hearing! I was recommended to acupuncture for a stiff shoulder/neck by my GP and after a few sessions for Dr Ryu and getting full mobility back in my neck, I casually asked Dr Ryu if he could do something about my ears. He said it was difficult to treat, but I stuck with it for a month before getting sudden relief. I will continue to go back because there is no greater gift than the gift of silence. read more

I don't even know where to begin then to just say it plain and simple and that is that Dr.RYU saved my life. After giving birth to my second daughter, I had a horrible tail bone pain that I cannot even begin to explain how painful it was. every single medical facility that I went to told me to see another doctor and another doctor, and at that point, I was so burnt out after 7+ months of pain and no answers about why I was in so much pain. I was referred to Dr. RYU by a family member who called him the "Miracle Man." I had never been to acupuncture before so as you can imagine I was a bit skeptical at first, but I figured I had nothing left to lose at this point. it took Dr are a total of two minutes to figure out what my issue was and injected a needle in my hand. 30 seconds later he asked me what my pain level was. I had to stand up because I could not believe the pain was gone. This was 3 months ago. From that day until today the pain has never come back and I have immense gratitude to Dr. Ryu for healing me. Not to mention, he also has an incredible staff and they are all very welcoming. I really recommend this place to anybody suffering because Dr.Ryu has magical hands. Thanks so much again!!! read more

Dr Rui and his staff is wonderful! I came with lower back pain rating 8 on a scale of 1-10 and rated my pain 0-1 in four months with attending weekly! I highly recommend this Acupuncture clinic read more

Last year Dr Ryu treated me for cervical stenosis and other neck muscle pain. I am pain free - in part due to Dr Ryu. He made every visit meaningful by talking about what I could do to improve my symptoms, and each time I left his office I felt wonderfully euphoric! He is an amazing healer! I returned to him again for some lower back pain and it was amazing how quickly my body responded. At least 50% improvement after 1 visit and after 2-3 visits - my back was not bothering me at all. As a medical professional, I did not trust this kind of therapy at first, however, I have transformed my way of thinking about health and healing after meeting him! I can truly say that this therapy was the best treatment for me - for pain, for inflammation and for my overall health. read more

They are both friendly and very professional. I have noticed a distinct improvement in my chemotherapy symptoms.

Dr. Ryu is a life saver. He helped my mom with her arm when no one else could, and helped and continues to help my sister with her neck, back, and feminine issues (that you never would have guessed could be helped with acupuncture). Best part (other than his incredible knowledge and ability to treat) is that they take insurance! Love Dr. Ryu. Have to continue my treatments ASAP! read more

Both of my shoulders have rotator cuff issues which have been causing me pain that keeps me from working. The Drs Ryu have been great at alleviating pain and helping me to recover with acupuncture and cupping. Sometimes it's a long process but they address the root issue, not just the symptoms. read more

My husband has had anxiety attacks for years now due to a traumatic incident in his past. His attacks occur at any point and time - on the freeway, movie theater etc. Its very scary to witness I can't imagine what he goes through. In any case he was resigned to taking some very strong meds to numb the feeling as soon as he feels he is going to experience an anxiety attack. So deciding to remove as much drugs from his system, I found Dr. Ryu (pronounced Dr. U ) and the rest shall we say is history. Dr Ryu has a very blunt sense of humor and is a straight shooter which both of us like. He made sure I understood what my husband was going through and how real the attack is for him. Witnessing an anxiety attack is a completely different experience from going through one. It was hard for me to understand why we needed to go to Urgent care or the ER when he had a bad one. He is only 30 so even though he thinks he is having a heart attack, realistically you know he is not - no heart disease , young and in shape etc. He has seen Dr. Ryu for three months now and hasn't had an anxiety attack since the accupuncture treatments started. Also Dr. Ryu has been treating him for snoring issues and that has calmed down as well to the point of where I don't have to move to the couch in the middle of the night! I highly recommend Dr. Ryu as a holistic approach for whatever you may be experiencing. He is extremely knowledgeable and a funny guy :) You'll love Rennie as other Yelpers have mentioned she is very sweet and very good with handling paperwork if you are using insurance. If you don't have insurance Dr. Ryu has various payment plans so his office is willing to work with you. read more

I can't believe it has taken me 2 years to write this update, but it's been a busy time. Dr. Ryu is a special part of our family forever because he helped us to conceive two healthy, beautiful babies within 2 years! After many failed treatments, including failed IVF, along with pregnancy losses, and the attendant mental health issues, Dr. Ryu did something no one else could. We conceived both of our children naturally after Dr. Ryu worked on my hormones and general well-being. I have continued to go back to him for other issues, and have seen many positive effects through taking his specially formulated herb packets, and have total faith in him. His office is fantastic and works with you and your insurance too. Do yourself a favor and put yourself in his hands. read more

Dr Ryu changed my life! I have been suffering with severe IBS.. Acid Reflux.. GERD and debilitating menstrual pains. Having tried all traditional Drs. and medicines and still getting no relief I went to Dr Ryu through the recommendation of a friend and I am so glad I did! With a combination of Dr Ryu's aggressive treatment and amazing herbs I am feeling better then I have my whole life! Thank you thank you thank you! read more

Hi, Everyone, My name is, Vida, and I was referred to Dr. Ryu by my sister. I have had the best experience EVER! I didn't believe in acupuncture treatment, but after treating with Dr. Ryu my whole perspective has changed. Dr. Ryu and his staff are very professional and welcoming. Dr. Ryu takes the time to explain everything to his patients in great details. He takes the time to listen and answer any questions or concerns the patient may have. He is very honest and straight forward. He has helped my family and they have all had positive results. My sister was having trouble getting pregnant and after three or four sessions with Dr. Ryu, she had a beautiful baby girl. Of course, she followed the treatment Dr. Ryu instructed. My other sister was having trouble with her right knee and was not able to walk. After a few treatments with acupuncture here pain went away permanently. Dr. Ryu also helped my father who had liver problems and right knee pain. As of today, my father hasn't forgotten Dr. Ryu's treatment and remembers how helpful the treatment was for him. As for myself, I had a problem with my wrist, due to repetitive work. I had this awful painful cyst on my right wrist. With a few aggressive treatments Dr. Ryu was able to help me. The cyst and the pain is gone. My wrist is doing so much better and I can go back to typing at work. He did an amazing job with my wrist and I am very happy with the results. I definitely recommend Dr. Ryu to anyone with these similar problems. -Vida read more

After reading all the great reviews, I was super-excited to find out that my insurance covers acupuncture and Dr. Ryu in particular! I am very in touch with my body and I literally felt everything - lots of energy moving through me like a current and there was a point about 20 minutes into the treatment that I felt a huge "rush" like my body totally opened up and relaxed...I can only liken it to having a splinter for months and you finally remove it...I didn't realize just how uncomfortable I was until I wasn't! I am a huge advocate of alternative treatments and avoid traditional medical doctors unless absolutely necessary. Acupuncture works and Dr. Ryu is the best acupuncturist I've ever been to! read more

SCIATICA...a pain in the back and the posterior and more! After I had endured the doctors and physical therapists, taken every pill prescribed...I finally requested acupuncture. I was given a list of providers. No background, very little information on that list...so I went to Yelp. I searched one by one until I got to Dr. Ryu! Wow! At that time he had about 35 FIVE STARS...and no disgruntled patients. So I threw my hat in the ring. EXCELLENT CHOICE! Looks like I'll be number 46 of 5 star fans.. As it was a chronic condition it took several visits and then came the miracle ...sciatica gone and IT HASN'T COME BACK!!! That was several months ago. His dry wit kept me smiling. read more

I decided to try this clinic based on the reviews here from Yelp. I've been to many acupuncturists.....not such a good experience for me there. Too much to explain. But I will say this...I had to go to a masseuse to correct what was done. Must see for yourself though to form your own opinion. I would not recommend. read more
