The result is always the same: she is incredibly thorough, friendly and professional...and I get better. Kimberley reminds me of what a village doctor would be like from years ago. She truly cares about her patients and is very individualized with her treatment. She may ask me about diet, sleep, stress, pain, etc, any factors that may be contributing to what's going on. Her holistic approach is incredibly thorough while still efficient, and in my experience, the results speak for themselves! I am so grateful for her work and feel lucky to have such a skilled and compassionate practitioner here in North County, my village :) :) Highly recommend!

Dr. Liao is a very intuitive holistic care provider. I have been working with her for over ten…read moreyears and have nothing but excellent feedback concerning her care of my health. I have been treated for all kinds of things from menstrual challenges, car accident pain, GERD/Acid Reflux, to my auto-immune issue (AA). One of the things that I appreciate about Dr. Liao's holistic approach is that unlike western medicine doctors who primarily treat symptoms, Dr. Liao works to identify the cause of symptoms and fix the problem. I think that her prices are reasonable because her treatment is effective. An example of her efficacy: my Primary Care Physician had diagnosed me with GERD and planned for me to take Prilosec ($25/box) for the rest of my life. I received acupuncture and guidance from Dr. Liao and within 3 months, I had minimal symptoms and did not need any medication. Within 6 months, I no longer had any symptoms. I know many other people who have had the same diagnosis and have spent over 10 years using acid inhibitor drugs. Another example: I had been experiencing a high level of fatigue for years. I had seen several different doctors, and the only thing that any of the doctor's could come up with was that I might have had mono. I was tested repeatedly, and when the tests came back negative month after month, I received no medical treatment. The day I met Dr. Liao, she gave me a visual inspection, and asked me several questions. After our 5 minute visit, she gave me a few simple dietary restrictions and one bottle of herbs. Within 2 days, I felt like a different person with normal energy levels. I never had that issue again. What can I say . . . her office is clean, she is a great communicator, and her acupuncture and herbs have both been very effective in helping me. I would give Dr. Liao my highest recommendation.

She does Saturday! Sharon found out where the pain was and used a combination of massage, suction cups and acupuncture to ease the pain. The office is clean and simple. It's welcoming and not scary like a dentist's office haha. I would definitely recommend others to come in if they have any injuries!

My experience with Dr. Tsai was in 2017. Prior to seeing Dr. Tsai I had reoccurring hives that…read morestarted on my upper arms - they'd appear everyday for an hr & subside. I used histamines; but in spite of that, they soon progressed to my lower arms, the back of my thighs, then all over my body. They'd occur more often lasting longer periods, sometimes in the middle of the night. I tried baking soda baths among other remedies, but nothing worked, and I felt desperate for relief! Chinese medicine is known to cure the root cause, and not just simply treat symptoms; my search lead me here. Dr. Tsai did tell me the first week would be difficult, as the symptoms would express even more in the process of purging. That happened. Over the course of 6 months I visited weekly or biweekly. In that period, I had 3 different prescriptions of Chinese herbal medicine, that I'd brew to take 3 times a day. (I will say after a month and a half I had no more hive breakouts.) The medicine is no cake walk, but I wanted to never experience another breakout so I stayed the course. I can say I've never had one to this day. Dr. Tsai's skills and bedside manners are impeccable! I've mentioned him to friends over the years in conversation, even after moving out of CA. Preface, I've never left a review for anything, I'm leaving this now because I've always wanted to; and I've just come off conversing/recommending him again to a family acquaintance that lives in CA. I remain so appreciative of his care!

It was painful, physically limiting and taking a long time to resolve. My chiropractor sees Dr. Tsai, and recommended I see him. WOW. Dr. Tsai performed acupuncture on me during three visits over the course of two weeks, and... SUCCESS! I went back once for a follow-up, and my shoulder has been great ever since! I highly recommend Dr. Tsai and his magic touch!

Jeff Armstrong has taken over this acupuncture office and he's a great guy. The office is on the…read morefirst floor down a carpeted hallway. I have a walker and it fits easily inside the office, the rooms and bathroom. This place is clean, the music is nice and Jeff is very knowledgeable, professional and has a great bed side manner. Jeff offers suggestions if you have a concern and also offers different aids like ointments if needed. There are step stools just in case your legs are short or you have issues with your legs like me to get onto the table. I believe most of the rooms have a view of green trees and blue skies which is nice and majority of the time the place is quiet so you can relax while having your session. I've fallen asleep a couple of times. Jeff offers a heat lamp and also a heated pad for when you lay down (very nice). FYI, I did not take this photo. This picture is from his website. I took a picture of this picture on his website so people could see it's him and not the gentleman who use to own it. I've been going here for at least 3 years. It helps that he's a Philadelphia Eagles fan (Go Birds ) and a Grateful Dead Fan . Thank you Jeff.

I was right about to start IVF when I learned about the benefits of doing acupuncture concurrently…read more Even though I reached out to Dr. Scarlett less than 3 weeks from when I was starting stims and also about to leave for vacation she went above and beyond to schedule a phone and in person consultation with me to discuss my needs and come up with a personalized treatment plan that worked around my busy IVF and busy work schedule. I had never done acupuncture before this and am not a big fan of needles, but Dr. Scarlett was extremely supportive and taught me a breathing exercise tip that helped me feel less anxious, that also ended up helping me while I was doing my stims at home. For the most part you barely feel the needles go in and she helped prepare me and was extra gentle for any that she thought I might feel more. The experience while the needles are in is extremely relaxing and meditative. Since IVF schedules are already overwhelming I wasn't sure if adding acupuncture appointments to the mix was going to make it more so, but it was the complete opposite. Overall, I felt that my acupuncture appointments gave me time I needed to be present and feel more grounded with my body and mind during a time when I was asking so much of it, and also gave me a positive association with needles. I responded well to the IVF stims with my only side effects being bloating (to be expected), the results of my retrieval being favorable, and my recovery being smooth. I truly believe that my IVF experience went as smoothly as it did thanks to the personalized treatment plan, tips, and encouragement Dr. Scarlett provided. I will definitely be back to Red Lotus/to work with Dr. Scarlett for all my future acupuncture wellness needs, cannot recommend her enough!
