Shan Kong is the real deal. I've been to a few acupuncturists, but I really have found that Dr. Kong has been the most effective. She gets results - whether it's helping with a specific allergic symptom, with pain relief, or with multiple maladies, she is straightforward in her assessment and treatment. She doesn't try to sell you on tons of supplements or additional products, unlike some acupuncturists or alternative practitioners. She is calm and professional... you needn't be squeamish about needles or the process. Acupuncture may not be within everyone's comfort zone, but if I *were* to recommend acupuncture to someone close to me, I'd likely steer them in the direction of Dr. Kong. read more

Shan Kong Acupuncture - From http://www.shankongacupuncture.com/blog/art.php?id=9 - Acupuncture Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Last year I posted a review for myself: now I'm writing one for my husband. 5 months ago he was diagnosed with Glioblastoma (brain cancer). He had surgery to remove 2 of the tumors., then completed only 3 weeks of the normal 6 week protocol of radiation and only 2 doses of an oral chemo drug due to a low platelet count. The surgery, radiation and low platelets left him extremely weak and tired with daily bouts of severe dizziness, blurred vision and right sided weakness. I took him to Dr Kong. He has been seeing her for acupuncture twice weekly for about 8 weeks now. His dizziness is markedly improved, his vision is better and the right sided weakness is improving. He's much stronger and less tired. (He actually rides a stationary bike 7 miles every day!) Dr Kong is absolutely amazing! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Only time will tell the status of his cancer but I can definitely tell whoever reads this that she is greatly diminishing the negative side effects of the surgery, cancer, and treatment and she is making him much stronger and feeling much better. She's a genius!!! read more

Dr Kong has been a real blessing to my life for the past 25 years. She has helped with: digestive issues, head pain, arthritis pain, heart issues, TMJ pain, as well as other health issues throughout the years. I highly recommend Dr. Kong! read more

SIMPLY MIRACULOUS!!! I am an airline pilot that always researches every situation thoroughly. I saw Dr. Shan Kong twice before a major surgery to help prep my body. The miraculous part came 12 days after my liver resection. I was on 3 pain killers and still was doubled over in pain when going into her office. Within 20 minutes 70% of my pain was gone, by the end of the session, nearly all of my pain was gone and by that evening I had zero pain, my appetite was back and my digestive system seemed normal. I have not had to even take Tylenol since that visit and I'm such a believer that I continue to go 2x week to help boost my immune system and keep my cancer from returning. I am forever grateful! (Btw, there are two Dr. Kongs with offices right across the hall from each other- I only have experience with Dr. Shan Kong) read more

Shan Kong Acupuncture - Less than three weeks after surgery, Dr. Kong has brought me from moderate pain to zero pain almost instantaneously:) - Acupuncture Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Horrible experience. Would never come back. There is no evidence that Doctor Shan Kong has enough medical knowledge. If you wish to know more details, here is the story: My mom experienced some hip pain in the past three weeks. Therefore, we wanted to try acupuncture. We went to the clinic, and doctor Kong handed over some paper and had a small chat with us. We then went to the treatment room, and the doctor started to ask my mom about her situation. My mom told her that we came to US about a month ago from China, and because of our quarantine time at home, she might be sitting for too long and started to experience some pain. The doctor freaks about immediately and asked us to leave. This is very irrational, since the official quarantine time for visitors from China according to CDC (center for disease control) is only 14 days and we have well passed that time limit. Not to mention we have no symptoms. Well... if you think this is very reasonable and agree with her logic, then please DO NOT visit the office in the next one or two months or more. Because both my mom and myself had very close contact with her (we were talking directly less than 2 feet apart, face to face). She was not wearing a mask and didn't seem like she would sanitize the room after we left. I also doubt she would be very responsible for her patients and put herself in quarantine. Really ridiculous to experience this. I question if she even has sufficient medical knowledge to understand the virus, and obviously no compassion to her patients - especially, she suggested us to try other acupuncture centers in Ann Arbor. Excuse me? If you think we are so dangerous, are you just putting the risk onto your peers? Will leave it up to your judgment. There are indeed plenty of acupuncture clinics in town. read more

Do I think acupuncture does anything? Yes. Did it benefit me? Jury is still out on that. I received acupuncture treatments approximately 3 times a week for several weeks for infertility during an IVF cycle. Dr. Kong told me infertility is one of her specialties and she has published research on the topic. I was new to acupuncture before coming here and did not know what to expect. Most sessions I would have 10-15 needles in me at a time for approximately 45 minutes. She would leave the room and let me relax and come in to turn the needles twice during the session. It was relaxing and I would usually leave feeling lucid. I recommend asking for the heater to be turned on because it can get cold laying still and it also drowns out the noise as the doors and walls are paper thin. She leaves a bell by your side if you need anything during the session. I eventually had to abandon acupuncture as the cost was adding up and medically it did not seem to be helping my issue of a thin uterine lining. There are pictures of newborns on the wall in the lobby so I am sure others have benefited from acupuncture. She does have a package deal where if you buy six sessions at a time there is a discounted rate per session. I think her prices are competitive with other acupuncture places in the area. read more

I had been dealing with Sciatica pain severe enough to encourage me to visit Urgent Care. I received a recommendation to come here. I had some skepticism, but after several visits, noticed a distinct reduction in pain. With steady acupuncture application over the next week, I was surprised to experience a large reduction in pain. I am still undergoing treatment here, but am thus far very impressed with my results, and look forward to more. read more

Acupuncture was my last hope in getting better. In 2018 I was diagnosed with E coli (Super Bug) bacteria had damaged my kidneys and bladder. After 16 rounds of antibiotics. I was sent to Infectious Disease at the U of M. at that point a Picc Line was put in for 3 weeks for my antibiotics. The infection cleared up a year later. I was left with a bladder that no longer functioned a catheter was almost needed. Medically my only option was a bladder Pacemaker and I would be limited to my daily activities. Only being 46 years old that wasn't an option for me. I was told by a doctor to seek alternative medicines and Acupuncture was presented to me. At that point I was given Dr. Shan Kongs name. Noticed change immediately - I started my treatment day after Christmas 2019. I'm on my 17th visit with Dr. Shan Kong. I'm here to say my bladder is functioning again and I don't need assistance. Acupuncture has healed and saved my bladder that modern medicine could not do. Jackie Miller read more

I went to Dr. Kong originally for fertility treatments. She came highly recommended from some of the ladies in my neighborhood. My first visit she had me stick out my tongue. She asked if I get migraine headaches to which I replied, yes. She said, "I can fix that". I spent years on topamax and other medications but was never able to get my migraines under control. After about a month I stopped getting them. I continued treatments until I moved. The migraines stay away for an additional 6 months. The migraines are back now so I'm tempted to make the 4 hour drive because this acupuncture treatment brought me so much relief. read more

The original reason I went to see Shan Kong is to help me with an episode of depression, she did took care of the issue very fast. Second, I continue seeing her to help me with my swollen Aquiles tendon and arthritis on my left knee. The pain on my tendon and knee is under control now. She has been my health saver when I need to avoid the pharmaceuticals prescribed by conventional doctors. read more

I just want to see what amazing experience I had with Dr. Kong. I'd worked in dentistry for 32 years. Unfortunately, I was forced to retire due to a nerve condition in my neck. The resulting situation caused me to have tennis elbow in both elbows and to have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. Also, my arthritis was so bad that I could not close my hands to make a fist. I had been troubled by the elbow pain for a year prior to retirement. I've been to a specialist about my elbows and a general practitioner. They both told me it was tennis elbow and I would go away. As far as the carpet tunnel, I was told by two specialist that I needed surgery to correct the problem. Dr. Kong relieved me of the elbow pain in two visits. My hands no longer have the tingling feeling. Furthermore, I can make a fist again. Thank you Dr. Kong for restoring my quality of life. I don't know where I would be without you. read more

I brought my mother here because a stroke left her almost lifeless. I tried everything from physical therapy, massages, and oxygen chambers to get her to get her moving again. Nothing was working, so after researching online about acupuncture, I read Dr.Shan Kong reviews and thought I'd bring my mother here. I bought her 6 sessions, so far after only 4 sessions , my mother can move her arms, legs, and feed herself! Her head was hanging so badly but she can now lift her head again. Her words are no longer gargled, she had very bad chest cough, after Dr. Kong did some cupping and a round of Chinese herbs, her cough is gone. Dr.Shan Kong has really helped my mother, after everything else failed. I am so amazed at how much better my mother is doing after only four sessions! She really is a life saver. I am so thankful for Dr.Kong for helping my mother. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to health, you cannot go wrong with her. I am looking forward to continue to see the progress my mother will make because of the care Dr.Kong provides. read more

I have been going to Dr Kong for over 20 years and everything she has treated me for I have had a 100% recovery. Some things have been healed in one or two treatments and some have taken several months of treatments but it has always worked for me. Some things I have been treated for were Guillian -Barre which caused chronic fatigue and weakness in my limbs, a torn rotator cuff (amazed that pain was gone in 1st treatment and with several treatments was completely healed and I didn't need surgery as I was told I may , and pneumonia (she treated with cupping and cough was completely gone the next day!) She really does practice miracle medicine at her office! I have sent many people to her over the years and every single one was happy with the results. I sent a lady in her 50s to her who had a chronic cough for 3 months . She was coughing all day a night . Dr Kong stopped her cough in the first treatment even though several were required to be sure that it wouldn't return. A few days after her treatment started, she had gotten back her earlier in the week test results from her family doctor and turns out she had whooping cough , even though she was vaccinated for it as a child! I had a friend with cancer in his salivary gland who developed severe lymphodema in his face to the point that he could barely see because the swelling had almost sealed his eyes shut . When he left her office the swelling had gone down so much that he was able to drive home. I took my daughter to her yesterday and watched another miracle unfold! My 7 year old caught a stomach bug a week ago . She was throwing up for 24 hours and we thought that it would run it's course and she would get better. She began to get worse and developed a fever and continuing stomach pain . We had her checked for dehydration, a. bladder/kidney infection and had an ultrasound to rule out appendicitis , all negative . She was lying flat on her back in bed for almost a week , not eating ( only wanted water) and only getting up to go to the bathroom . It was getting scary that her fever was not going away , her white count was high but they could not find out the source of infection. I decided to take her out of bed and make the one hour trip to see Dr Kong. When she put the needles in my daughter's abdomen she felt almost immediate relief of her pain and her color began to return to her cheeks and she smiled ! She also did cupping in her. When we left the office she was like a new child! Her fever went down from 102 to 98 and has remained normal. Her stomach pain has subsided and she is eating again . It was amazing to watch her almost immediate transformation from being very ill to being a healthy and happy 7 year old in an hour! I took these pictures of her at 5 minutes into treatment ( when she was already having results) and in the car as we left the office and you can see how she went from looking sickly to vibrant during our visit . Dr Kong is an awesome healer and if I could give her more than 5 stars in this review I would! read more

Shan Kong Acupuncture - 5 minutes into treatment and she is smiling but still looking sick - Acupuncture Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

See all

Frankly, I was a skeptic when I started going to Dr. Kong as I had never tried acupuncture, but I figured what did I have to lose? I quickly discovered that she's amazing - I found relief almost immediately, and the sessions are painless and relaxing. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and actually explains which meridians she's using and why. I've been feeling significantly better ever since working with her and can't recommend her enough. read more

Dr Kong has a sophisticated and deep knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She is not a westerner who went to china, studied a bit, and came home and open up shop. As the other reviewer wrote, she is the real deal. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Kong is a gentle, caring soul and exactly what we all seek in a physician. She also possesses an extraordinary level of expertise in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

She will truly care, will give you her best at solving the issue, and will even recommend when other treatment might be beneficial. She is a "real deal," as we say, and offers authentic "care."
