Dr T is a healer. I always feel better after seeing him. He is super easy to communicate and book with. His office is serene and very tranquil. read more

This review is long overdue. I first visited Liam for help after struggling with infertility and felt confident in both his expertise and the process, understanding that it would take time and commitment. I continued my sessions with him throughout my pregnancy, and I'm so glad I did--I now have a beautiful, healthy baby. Liam is an exceptionally kind, patient, and compassionate doctor, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking care. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Liam now for more than a year. Since it's a workman's comp case, I do not have the ability to see him regularly. He is an amazing doctor, always so professional, caring, thorough. He spends time to review your progress and current needs, always finding exactly where the underling pain. read more

My wife has Frozen Shoulder, with the pain being excruciating, her left arm mobility diminished greatly and her left hand often numb. She was desperate because it has been going on for quite awhile. But the acupuncturist/doctor she was going to see was unable to see her soon and instead highly recommended Dr. Liam .. who, in this case, was able to make time to see her sooner. What a great choice! Not only in manner, but in result. When she left, mobility she hadn't had in quite awhile was greatly improved, pain was far lessened and she can feel her hand fully again. It's not over and she'll need therapy for a couple more months. But he did what her (really great too) orthopedist couldn't with cortisone shots & exercise recommendations. She highly recommends Dr. Liam. read more

I was looking for Accupressure specialist for a while, I finally found it on Yelp and the reviews are 5 stars and my shoulder was in pain for 2 days due to Rotator Cuff injury out of nowhere. Thanks to Dr.Liam. I am alive and well now read more

Everything about my experience with Liam and Toci Wellness was seamless. I booked my appointment and spoke with Liam all through the Yelp app. He got back to me almost immediately and confirmed my booking for the same day. I filled out other required documents (since it was my first time) online and again, everything was easy and seamless. When I arrived to the office, I waited only for about 5-10 minutes to meet Liam. He asked me a few questions to get a sense of what type of massage I would need and then he got to work. He's a very kind, soft-spoken and knowledgeable gentleman. I loved the massage and cupping! I enjoyed my experience from start to finish so I'll be coming back soon. If you're in the market for a massage, I highly recommend Liam. read more

There's a reason why as of this writing, Liam at Toci Wellness has all 5-star reviews. He is that good. He is patient and excited to try things out to help you heal your pain. In my case, I found him when I was searching for a massage therapist in the Inner Sunset neighborhood. I am fairly picky about massages. I have a fairly sensitive area on my back that must be avoided due to a past injury. I like to get a semi-regular monthly massage to work out all of my joint pain and overall stiffness. I have been seeing Liam for about 9 months now for massages. I always leave his office feeling taller and better. He is encouraging and open to discussing ways to improve my joint pain in between visits. I also came in with a swollen foot about a month ago and Liam asked if it would be okay to use cupping on it and treat it with acupuncture. I was happy to try that and I think it has really helped my foot heal. Chinese medicine is powerful and Liam has a gift. read more

Liam is a wonderfully thorough and knowledgeable acupuncturist - he seeks to understand you fully and find solutions to your issues. I appreciate how much time Liam takes to see my full picture of health and wellness, even pre and post appointment. Also love you can book online - easy! Can't go wrong with Liam! read more

Nothing helped with my back pain except for acupuncture and cupping that I tried for the first time at Toci Wellness. Dr. Liam is super nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Feeling tension on your neck, lower back or just want to feel extra relaxed ? Make an appointment with Liam. He tunes into my body and releases my knots. An hour of Bliss. Unfortunately, I've moved to Los Angeles, but I make sure to get a Tui Na massage whenever I visit the Bay. * Friendly *Cozy space * Easy Parking Thanks Liam. read more

Toci Wellness - Highly recommended :) - Traditional Chinese Medicine Near Me - San Francisco, California

Oh my gosh- I don't even know where to start. Dr. Liam is not only the best Acupuncturist, he is seriously THE best Doctor- period. I am so grateful I stumbled upon his practice. Originally it was for the trifecta of Cupping, Acupuncture, & Massage. He has opened my eyes to way more now! He is very smart and you'll learn so much from him. His passion for his field is obvious as he truly wants to help and get to the root cause of someone's issue/s. One of the nicest and down to earth Dr.'s. He never makes you feel rushed like at some other ....- or most other places! read more

I'm so glad I found Liam Three months ago I started to see Liam. I was having a horrible pain on one of my legs that kept me up at night, then I started to limp, that's how badly my pain was. I was hoping to find a professional acupuncturist/ massage that live close to my house and I did, thanks to Yelps reviews. Thank you yelpers. Liam is awesome, his assessment is thorough and ongoing each visit. After my first visit I can see results, I could sleep at night then after few acupuncture treatments, my pain was completely gone, I felt a huge relief, and my life improve so much because of it, since I was getting really worry. Liam has help me so much to improve my health, he has treat my legs of course, my back (sicata pain), neck (a long time injury), digestive problems, and my overall health. Liam is no rush, his calm talk is relaxing, he is full of wisdom and knowledge and every time I left his session I am ready to continue my day with my six year old. I highly recommend Liam to everyone! I'm so glad I met him. Thank you for caring. read more

I am very happy with my visit to Dr. Liam at Toci Wellness. He listened carefully to my concerns. He has worked with me on my wellness goals in a thoughtful way. He not only has helped me with my shoulder and neck pain from cycling, but has also been there for me during flu season, when I am prone to respiratory illness. I like his overall approach to wellness, which includes massage, acupuncture and herbs. I also like that he has a balanced view of Eastern and Western Medicine. I highly recommend. His clinical space is relaxing and as other people mentioned he has a really calm and reassuring presence. read more

What a pleasurable experience! From the first contact, to walking out the door after treatment. I came in with a back issue- I could barely get out of bed and bending over at the waist was not possible. I'm a bartender, and needed a quick fix as working in my industry requires long hours of standing upright and constant mobility. After searching for a few minutes and reading reviews on yelp, I stumbled upon this page, and am SO glad I did. I left being able to bend over pain free and almost touch the floor (after about 2 more days, not only could I touch the floor, but I was back in yoga class!). BOOK A SESSION NOW! Your body will thank you! read more

I recently went to see Liam because I had some pain and discomfort in my shoulder and neck area, and it was such a wonderful experience to have someone like him to treat the pain. I hadn't had too much experience with acupuncture/cupping before so I was a bit nervous at first, but he was such a professional and talked me through the whole thing. The room itself was so calming, with a comfortable couch and a table set up for his practice. During the entire session, he had very relaxing and soothing music playing in the background, which helped me dose off while he was putting in the needles on my upper neck area. After he took out the needles, he immediately located the areas that had the most aches and discomfort, and massaged them through. The whole session, from the beginning to the end, was extremely relaxing and comfortable. Looking forward to my next session with him!! read more

Relief! The first word I associate with Toci Wellness. I went to see Liam for back and calf pain pain and after my first visit I saw results. I've had acupuncture in the past, and Liam is the best. In addition to acupuncture, he uses a combination of cupping and Chinese massage to address your pain. He spends a lot of time assessing your specific issue(s) and a good duration of time with the treatment itself. He is also a really calm and pleasant person. read more

I went to see Liam today for some pain issues in my hands. I found him to be informative knowledgeable and possesses a wonderful healing touch! I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks read more

I found Liam thru Yelp and because of the awesome reviews here, I decided to try him out. He is EVERYTHING his other reviews said! Such a nice guy and provides super thorough and educated treatment. I have chronic lower back pain issues that have been ongoing for about 10 years. I just moved to the city and had to find a new spot to receive treatment, because after a few months without seeing my doc, I pulled my back out for the millionth time. I have used all of Liam's services, Acupuncture, massage and cupping. I LOVE THEM ALL. Each treatment provided relief and I am super excited to continue to see what approach has the largest impact. Liam spends so much time with you and doesn't rush anything, he just wants to make sure you are getting everything you need to feel better. He is very responsive when I go to book an appointment at the last minute. He is the kind of person you want as a continuous healthcare provider because he works to get to know the root of your health issues. Overall, I am stoked that once again Yelp lead me to a new favorite, ongoing service! If you have chronic pain or an acute injury, GO SEE LIAM. He's the man. Praise holistic health options. read more

Yesterday was my first visit with Liam for past life regression. I was greeted by Liam upon arrival with a big welcoming smile and calm disposition. I was initially surprised by his youthfulness but there was a calmness about him that instinctively made me completely comfortable and confident in his abilities. His place is humble yet and cozy - which suits him. Our session went well and left me more curious about my experience. Liam helped me "connect the dots" in some areas that we're not clear and told me to essentially be patient as things should become clearer in time. After the session I felt "tingly" and weighed down so Liam gave me a light massage which incorporated pressure point modalities, which was both considerate and generous, as we did not schedule it ahead of time. Overall, I am greatful for our experience and highly recommend him. I'm looking forward to my next session and the fact that I'm commuting from San Jose speaks for itself! read more

I have very good time with him. I went to many place like Shiatsu, Seitai, Shinkyu, but I like here most now. He is very kind and sincere. And his massage is great. I go to maintain my body onece a 2weeks, it is wonderful rotation to my back probrem. I am happy to find the person who can take care my body long term. thanks Liam. read more

Liam is a natural empath and healer - I really resonated with him upon meeting him - he is thorough and easy going at same time - he really got to heart of matter quickly and uses all resources to aid in treatments - we mixed in acupuncture, cupping, and massage all in first session. I will continue to go back and can not recommend him enough. read more

I had a wonderful first-time massage experience thanks to Liam! Not knowing what to expect, I walked in his studio which immediately gave a calm, welcoming ambiance. Liam was very professional yet personable ensuring I was comfortable and relaxed every part of the way. He made sure every knot in my back wasn't overlooked and well taken care of. At times, his deep tissue massage had me in a euphoric trance. After my massage, my whole body had loosened up as well as my joints. It was an overall great experience which I'm glad Liam had helped me walk through. Needless to say, I walked out of his studio feeling rejuvenated and very relaxed while doing flips down the street. The following days, I felt in a much better mood, in-tuned with my body and mind and even naturally wanted to make healthier decisions. I hope to give him a visit again soon. I can't thank you enough, Liam! read more

Liam has a great healing quality. I want to acknowledge his ability to make even the worst aches' loosen to malleable, getting actual relief post session. read more

This was my introduction to Tui Na Massage. If you´re interested in a truly interesting form of massage and health, I highly recommend Liam. Tui Na is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and deploys different techniques, such as accupressure and cupping. For me, the massage was just as educational as it was relaxing. A good starting point if you are curious. Liam was gentle, informative, and effective. He takes his time assessing your history of pain and injuries to better serve serve your body. My pain was eased and my mind relaxed. All in all, a great experience. Bottom line: This is a special place because you can tell he really cares. read more

Liam has been treating me for the last 3 years for variety of conditions. His Tui na massage has helped me to heal various type of martial art related injuries that I have had over the past such as shoulder injury, foot pain, back pain etc. His cupping therapy was especially useful for my sore muscles after vigorous martial arts training. Since he got his acupuncture license ,I have been also getting acupuncture from him. He has been helping me to deal with stress and some digestive issues that seems to be getting better with acupuncture and also herbal formulas that he prescribed. Besides his skills in Chinese Medicine and massage, I must say that one of the reason that made me choose to see him is his warm personality. He is a great ,compassionate listener. I highly recommend his treatments. read more

oh, Toci wellness is such a hidden gem. I was looking for some acupuncture to have better blood circulation. The one I used to go is in East Bay and I don't want to travel just for that so I start yelping for acupuncture and Chinese medicine and found Liam. Just like other yelpers say, Liam is gentle and kind, he is professional and passionate about his job. He will always spend time to check in with you before starting the acupuncture. After acupuncture, he will massage your pain area. I have been going to Liam for months, I feel my energy level and areas in pain had much improved. He used to be in the sunset but now he moved to Noe Valley is much better. Brighter and bigger office! read more

I know he can solve even the most complex or chronic health issues. read more

I had suffered from endometriosis for 14 years and was told I had to get a hysterectomy. I tried many, many different treatments because I was too young to have such an invasive procedure, nothing really worked.

Called Liam late on a Saturday afternoon hoping to get an appointment soon. He picked up and had time in 45 minutes. From start to finish Liam is first class. I didn't just jump on the table and say go. He sat me down talked about my situation and he went to work. The massage I had was an hour which included acupuncture and cupping. Both highly recommended. The pain in my neck subsided after the session. The acupuncture was right on point and the cupping really help get a few knots out. I highly recommend Liam. He is very professional and a little adventurous. read more

I went to Dr. Liam for neuropathic pain and to my surprise he has helped me with so much more. Threw this crazy time he has kept my sane and calm and with just a few words from me ( telling him about my fears and concerns ) and like its some kind of magic with all my worries are gone. When i thought i had stumped him with how thirsty i had become he said i can fix that. He did fix my overly dry mouth. ( caused by some of my meds ) I can't say enough about Dr. Liam's natural ability to heal feel sympathy for any situation. I wish i had gone to an acupuncturist 25 yrs ago because i wouldn't have started the narcotic i was on for 25yrs. I have an addictive personality and was on 400mg of morphine and 20mg a day of OxyContin. I had zero withdrawals and no relapses or any issues going off my narcotics with Dr. Liam's help. Yes You can say I'm partial, thats because he has done so much for me! Ask me anything.? read more

I am very particular about massage. When I visited Liam for the first time, I immediately felt calm and at ease. Liam truly has a gift for healing. He is attentive, patient, and intuitive.
