I had anxieties about acupuncture and needles in general. However, Jamie Takubo was very gentle, caring and professional. Also, the needles she uses are very fine and whatever she does with them I barely feel any discomfort at all. What I do feel is relaxed! So much so that I fall asleep during the session. I've been seeing her for years now and I would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

Acupuncture always scared me... the idea of having needles in me... all of this changed since I went to see Jamie. I was having some issues with my triceps for years and I couldn't play water polo anymore until I added some acupuncture to my treatment. Jamie was able to pick up very quickly where the problem was and after a few sessions (once a week) I was back in the pool and feeling well. Few more sessions later I was on top of it. I was also having some more issues and Jamie discovered them without me telling her. She asked me a few questions to confirm, added a few needles and I was feeling better a couple of days later. Another thing that is very impressive about Jamie is her knowledge about all these different techniques. I'm really happy to recommend her to anyone, and I think that all the other moms who went to see here will do the same (I might have been the only non mom) as they all seemed very happy, and very relaxed. read more

Jamie is an amazing healer. My husband and I see her regularly for a variety of conditions, for my husband it's skin and cardiovascular- related and for me it's hormone, stress and pain related. She has a magical way of healing, moving energy and helping the body recover. Most of her treatments I've experienced last a long time in my system and help me to sleep more productively, relax and experience overall well being that allow me to work more efficiently and maintain energy throughout the day. She's so good I even brought my 84 year old mom to her twice for edema and sciatica. During both appointments my mom said she felt extremely relaxed and afterwards less pain and fluid build up. I highly recommend Jamie for a variety of health related conditions. She is thorough, very professional and very caring. read more

Jamie treated me for post hysterectomy hot flashes to move me off of synthetic hormone replacement. Her treatment was instantly effective and I have now been synthetic hormone free for 6 months and hot flashes are a thing of the past. I still have a core temp a few degrees higher than pre surgery but her treatment was extremely effective. Additionally she successfully treated my husband for a neck injury he is now a true believer in acupuncture. read more

I've been seeing Jamie for about 4 years now. I started going to her because of my low thyroid issues I have had since I was a child. Regular treatments with her really helped me feel at my best along with the supplements for thyroid support she provided. I got pregnant and Jamie was such a blessing to have throughout my pregnancy! She treats for easy, problem free labor and delivery, lets just say I had the baby in 3 hours after seeing her and everything went smooth, no complications. She helps with post partum as well which is very important! Jamie is a true blessing!!!! read more

I have been seeing Jamie for about 7 months and really enjoy going to her for treatments. She takes Blue Shield insurance which was a must for me and she has worked directly with my insurance company which has been a huge help. She's worked tirelessly on my skin issues which have improved significantly in the last few months. Jamie is kind, gentle and incredibly knowledgeable about acupuncture as well as diet, lifestyle and other holistic methods to support the work she is doing which I have found incredibly helpful. She really helped me get over a nasty cold recently with cupping which was AWESOME! When I leave I always feel refreshed, relaxed and energized. Whether you are a first-timer or have had other acupuncture treatments Jamie is a great practitioner. It's also nice that she works closely with the Chiropractors in the office so if you need a little adjustment as well this is perfect "one-stop-shopping!" read more

I first started seeing Jamie to help with my neck and back injury from a car accident. Little did I know how much she could assist me in bring my body back to complete health. Not only did she help with my accident which was a more complete healing then previous accidents that I used chiropractic for. She has continued to help with women's issues and brought my pain with Fibromyalgia to nothing. If you are familiar with Fibromyalgia pain is always at the surface. With Jamie's technique I able to get almost completely painless treatments. No one else has been able to do this. Lastly Jamie spends the time you wish every doctor did and will get your lasting results. Thanks Jamie for your continued care of my health. I am grateful. read more

Does he word "The Bomb" depict absolute greatness? Jamie Takubo is the "Bright Star" in the field of acupuncture and total body wellness! I have know her for a long time and her professional knowledge of her specialty is far greater than any acupuncturist I have been to over the last 20 years. Besides focusing on total wellness she also can handle pediatric cases, as well as obstetric problems. She is a great listener and has a very gentle yet defined manner of treating each patient. She really knows what she's doing! Myself and all of her patients loved her a lot and will miss her greatly. Good luck to you Jamie in your new dig's. All the best to you and your family, Warm regards, Dr. Richard B. Marill, BS, DDS, BFD, WTF, AMF, LOL, read more

The other yelpers are right! After six months of increasing and constant pain with my shoulder and arm - physical therapy, chiropractic therapy, cortisone shot all did nothing. In ONE visit the pain lessened CONSIDERABLY and the mobility increased perhaps 40%. It has continued to increase the mobility and the pain has decreased - after a second treatment even better. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jamie - highly professional, skilled, and knowledgeable. read more

Jamie is a whiz! She uses tiny, Japanese acupuncture needles which hurt less and seem more effective than their Chinese counterparts. She sources great herbs and other remedies and really knows them. She helped me through mono! read more

I am a postmenopausal woman who has received treatments from Jamie Tokubo for temperature imbalances, constipation, stress-fatigue, and lately rather vicious hive attacks that I have had episodically throughout life. While Benadryl has helped the latter in the past, I have developed such sensitivity to this drug, I can barely stay awake at the dosage level for children and additionally suffer hangovers from it. I much more prefer the acupuncture and Chinese herbs which Jamie has provided as I can remain alert. Last spring, while suffering a particularly painful jaw that affected my hearing and energy levels due to an infected molar, Jamie's acupuncture treatments helped me to manage the pain and hasten the healing in conjunction with the dental treatment. I have had acupuncture in the past from other practitioners who have also been excellent, knowledgeable and insightful. What makes Jamie Tokubo unique for me is her comprehensive knowledge of technique, her adept manner with the long needles, which are effective for my needs, and her thoroughness of treatment AND follows up. read more

I had never used acupuncture before, but when I learned that my baby was breech and that acupuncture was a means of flipping her, I reached out to Jamie at my doctor's recommendation. I had two visits with Jamie. She was very professional and very friendly. It was a very relaxing time for me. I am happy to see that my baby did flip and I had a normal, healthy delivery. I can't say for sure that it was the acupuncture/moxibustion that flipped her, but I am sure it contributed and I would do it again in a heart beat! read more

Dr. Tokubo is amazing! She treats the entire person---mind, body and soul. She never rushes her treatment; she spends the time getting to know you and each treatment takes as long as it takes. She treats what she feels is necessary for your well being. This gives me such confidence that I am so relaxed I often fall asleep knowing that the treatment is continuing to heal my body. I am a cancer survivor and I know that Dr. Tokubo's treatments are continuing to keep me healthy. read more

Jaime is a great healer who cares about her patients. She listens attentively and gives specific, helpful advice. She has a wonderful background and brings her knowledge to help each individual patient. I always feel better emotionally and physically after going to her. read more

I've been seeing Jamie once per week for the last few months for my overactive adrenals, jaw clenching, cough, and any other little aches and pains that come up. I always sleep more soundly after seeing her and I leave her office feeling more calm and peaceful than when I walked in. She is a great listener and has a huge reserve of knowledge and experience. She can often tell what's bothering me before I even speak! She accepts insurance which makes it even easier to keep going back. She's also started working with my husband and is very accommodating with his schedule. A great experience all around! read more

This may be the very first Yelp review I have ever done... I have been seeing Jamie for over a year and a half now and she has helped me tremendously on my road to recovery after a serious health issue. She really listens to and cares about her patients and her priority is not to treat the symptoms but actually get to the root of the problem. I never feel rushed through treatments with Jamie... Her knowledge and experience in various treatment modalities (eastern and western medicine) is vast. She has pure passion for what she does and it really shows! read more

Jamie is an excellent acupuncturist. I first started seeing her for high blood pressure. With her treatments and herbal supplements, my blood pressure became lower and more stable. She is a great listener and cares a great deal about her patients. She also helps treat my back pain, neck pain, and whatever else pain I have, and in general helps with my overall well being. Whenever I see her, I always leave feeling so much better. She takes the time to go over exactly what I need to get treated and doesn't rush through her visits. She is the best! I recommend her highly! read more

Jamie is an amazing acupuncturist. She really knows how to make her clients feel comfortable and safe in her care. I have been seeing her for a couple years now and can't wait for each session. I highly recommend! read more

I lived in Alameda for a couple of years and was very lucky to be able to see her once a week. I have seen many acupuncturists and can confidently say she is top notch. She is fantastic with women's issues, calming the nervous system, and so much more. I recently moved back to the Midwest and will miss her greatly! read more

I have been to different acupuncturists over the years with varying styles, beliefs, and bedside manners, and Jamie is by far the most enthusiastic, non-judgmental and devoted to health and well-being. Her background as a physical therapist was immensely helpful and her experience dealing with western medical practitioners keeps her advice extremely practical and manageable for people with busy lifestyles. She is an awesome listener and is able to bring that elusive mind-body connection to light in her treatments. And, unlike the majority of acupuncturists I have visited, she doesn't make you feel like a loser for not leaving the office with $100 worth of "vitamins" after each visit! She loves what she does, accepts health insurance, and went to great lengths to help me heal both physically and emotionally. She is a true healer. read more

Jamie is very professional with her practice. Jamie went above & beyond for me, not only was she kind & caring but skillful & knowledgeable. She is very gentle. As her patient I was able to relax & trust her. I was afraid of needles, but with Jamie treating me I was able to overcome the fear & allow the treatments to work. It was so wonderful to be treated in a natural way. She was able to detect the problems & treat them. After seeing many MD's & specialists that were not able to diagnose the problem, through Jamie's research & tests the problem was found. She was successful in her treatments with me & helped me to get well. Her only concern was my wellbeing & finding an answer. I can never thank her enough for all that she did for me. I think she is amazing & I recommend acupuncture treatment to anyone. read more

For kid #2, I went to Jamie to get my body ready for a VBAC. She did about 10 treatments and it really worked. 4 hours of active labor, 15 minutes of pushing and BAM! Baby. The nurses were pretty impressed and I was so so so glad to not have had a repeat c-section. The lesson here is to A) give a VBAC a try if you're a good candidate and B) go to Jamie first so that baby just flies right out of there. read more

This was my first visit to an acupuncturist. I was very impressed. One word to describe Jaime and that word is AWESOME!!! I was truly impressed by her knowledge and compassion. There is no doubt in my mind I made a great decision to see Jamie. I will definitely go back to see her and refer my family and friends as well. up!! read more

Jamie is amazing! I have been treated by her for hormone balancing and my hot flashes are nearly gone! She has helped relieve pain in my knee and sciatica, too. Her knowledge and expertise is the best I've ever seen. Besides that, she's a gracious and kind person who truly cares about your well being. I recommend her with 6 stars of I could! read more

Jamie Tokubo is the best Accupuncture practitioner I have ever used. She is highly educated and qualified and takes time to really understand her patients' needs. Jamie is very intuitive and a careful listener. I highly recommend Jamie! read more

Game Changer. When my GP was only suggesting meds that weren't safe for breastfeeding, I took my ear pain problem elsewhere. It was my first visit to an acupuncturist and I no idea that my whole outlook on my overall health and wellness was about to make such a major shift. Jamie has been so kind and so thorough from the first day until now, four years later. She has helped me to maintain great health and has a gift for targeting issues before they are actual issues. With my regular visits to Jamie, I am able to keep tabs on my overall well being and I can't really imagine not seeing an acupuncturist anymore. Also, she treats my kids! It's the best health care scenario I can imagine, and I tell all of my friends. So glad I found her. read more

I've been seeing Jamie for around 4 years, and she's the best. She's great at diagnosing and very attuned to my overall well being. Jamie can solve almost any problem you might have. I started seeing Jamie after I had a horseback riding accident and she was able to put everything back together for me. Even after full recovery, I have continued to go to Jamie for her wonderful treatments and lifestyle recommendations. In particular I love how she connects nutrition to your body's balance. She's just a solid practitioner, and her wealth of knowledge is refreshing and very much appreciated. read more
