We were looking for a new acupuncturist after our longtime provider retired. While visiting the…read moreDunhuang Shopping Center, we decided to try this place because they offered cupping for $35, which seemed reasonable. My provider charged $25 for 30 minutes and applied baby oil. Scheduling was easy via phone. When my husband and I arrived, the practice was run by one woman and one man, and the man performed the cupping. Unfortunately, the experience was terrible and disappointing. The cotton ball dipped with alcohol as it was used to create suction was heavily burned and blackened, and the inside of the glass cups was also dark and appeared unclean. The suction was extremely weak--some cups felt like they were about to fall off. My husband noticed the same issue before I did. Afterward, I raised my concerns with the woman, explaining that the cupping was unusually loose. Instead of acknowledging the issue, they denied there was any problem. I have extensive experience with cupping and know how it should be done. While the price was low, the lack of hygiene and poor technique are unacceptable. I would not return and do not recommend this place.

The worst medical consultation experience in Houston! When I…read moreentered the clinic, they first told me that I would have to pay a $50 fee if I didn't buy any medicine. They took my pulse for just a second and couldn't explain what was wrong or how to solve it. They said no medicine was suitable for me and I could only take the medicine they made, which cost $280 per dose. Seeing my hesitation, they then took out two bags of herbs and asked for $200. This clinic must be the easiest way to make money in the world!

I would like to dedicate my first review of 2018 to Yin Yang Acupuncture. I have been wanting to…read moreshare my wonderful experiences to the world since I received my first treatment last year. I was referred by my Yelpers friend Mark W. Few years ago, I was desperately looking for a reliable and knowledgeable acupuncturist near me. Most of them in Chinatown don't meet my basic requirements. Mark said, "try my mom." I've gotta tell you, after my first treatment I felt like someone took away a rucksack filled with rocks off of my back. I came back for sciatica pain few weeks later. This time was an acupuncture treatment. Dr. Lu's technique is very skillful. There were 2 types needles, orange one applied to my forehead and others in my belly and legs. I didn't feel any different right after. But I felt energizes after 4 hours of my usual grocery shopping. I normally take an hour nap before repackaging meats away. But that day, I had so much energy I even cooked our dinner, prepared my lunch and washed dishes. People always think Yelp is for restaurants and Yelpers are all foodies. Not so fast. There are so many non-food businesses in town that with mentioning. You may have seen my cupping photos (multiple shades of circles on my back). That is an ancient Chinese method to improve blood circulation. Once air is drawn out of a glass cup, it's applied to my back immediately. Doctor will move the cups like playing mahjong on my back. I really don't know how it works but it felt so good afterwards. The circles disappeared after a couple of days. I swam with my tank top, because I don't want to freak people out. **1st review of 2018**

I like the location because it is a little away from Chinatown on Bellaire and a quick access to Southwest Freeway with plenty of parking. It is nice to see Mrs. Cheng working in the clinic with Dr. Cheng, it is amazing to see them work so flawless together. I am not shy asking questions, they answer patiently never show sign of impatience. They are very accommodating, when I mess up my schedule came to the appointment on a wrong day. I know it will take a while to remediate my health problems, but in two and half months, we are seeing clear improving signs.

I followed everything I was told, but it made no difference and I feel like I'm back to square one. To top it off, every appointment I went to which only lasted about 10 minutes just to refill my teas cost an additional $50 for a "consultation," which I think is ridiculous. It's very frustrating to have spent so much money with no real results. I don't think it's fair to charge that much for something that didn't deliver on what was promised, and I wouldn't recommend this place based on my experience.

Annlee TCM clinic was recommended to me by a close friend for acupuncture as she has been visiting…read morethis establishment for almost a decade. She swears by the father daughter duo, and says they are worth the drive (it's about a 30-45 min. drive depending traffic for me). I was looking for a TCM place since I've been getting sick quite frequently this year and wanted to "rebalance" my body. I purchased their 10 visit pass and have been here twice now for acupuncture, moxa, cupping and herbal medicine. I don't think they take insurance, but I paid out of pocket. The package deal is cheaper than paying for each session separately. They also don't take appointments, so best that you call before you head over. I haven't had to wait at all for the last 2 times that I've been but I did call ahead of time. They speak mainly Chinese but can communicate with limited English (only the daughter can speak English), It's enough to know what treatment you're getting. They ask you a few questions, take you pulse on your wrist and look at your tongue to diagnose you. They will tell you what treatment they recommend afterwards. Each session is about 30-45 minutes. They do get you in and out pretty quickly. I do wish they spend a bit more time explaining what they are doing and why, but I think it's mainly due to the language barrier. I speak conversation Chinese but not enough to talk TCM. I'll starting asking more question in my next visits and report back. TCM does take time to see results so will update my review after I finish my 10 visits.

I hate how far the place is, but I feel more comfortable going to someone that a friend has recommended and has been using for years. They have plenty of parking. I recommend calling before to make sure they are open cause we made the drive and they were closed. They are typically open Monday-Sat from 10-4pm. It's a father daughter clinic (I think) and the father is so cute and sweet! When you walk into the clinic, you can smell the herbs! You can definitely tell they have been practicing for years. They have packages like buy 5 or 10 sessions. My package came with herbs, acupuncture, cupping and all for a reasonable price. Definitely check them out if you're close. They do not take appointments or insurance, so keep that in mind!

Honest folks! So glad they are sharing their Eastern medicine wisdom and offering these services in the Houston community!

The biggest advantage is plenty of parking. My recent visit was a little disappointing. He said I was fat. He sold me some ready-made herbal medicines to improve my cardiovascular system.

He used the auscultation method to measure my blood pressure and he pumped several times to get a reading. His diagnosis was "I had thick blood." Mmm... Ok, that sounded better than my thick fat.
