A little background story before I start my review:
I was suffering a tailbone pain, also known as coccyx pain for about 1 1/2 months. This happened the day after my visit with Kaiser, when I started noticing a sharp pain near my tailbone area every time I would start to sit down or stand up. When I went to go visit Kaiser again about this pain, they didn't really do anything to help relieve the pain. We just talked, but that's it! I waited almost 1 and 1/2 hours to talk to a doctor, talked to a doctor that only lasted 20 min., and then told me to take pain relievers as the pain will shortly go away.
The pain never went away after that visit with Kaiser. Their uncomfortable bedding and my laying position was what really messed up my tailbone area that day. After talking about this never ending pain to my mom, she recommended me this place!
Now onto my review:
Parking was huge, so there was no problem finding a good parking spot.
I went inside and met Dr. Ko Peter. He was very friendly and we had a discussion about my pain: when it started, the description of the pain (sharp, burning, etc), and the area of the pain.
After filling out the papers about the procedure of the acupuncture, we started right away!
It was a walk-in, I didn't even have to make an appointment!
I never received an acupuncture, but I must say that the experience is worth it!
I had the acupuncture done with electric stimulation, massages, and the cupping session.
He even discovered how tense my shoulders were because of stress from school haha!
Plus, my lower back pain was relieved after the hour long procedure! :)
He was not pushy and always made sure I was relaxed and comfortable.
He gave me really good, inexpensive suggestions to improve my tailbone area that I can do at home.
He charged me $60, but he said that the next appointment (because I have to go to two visits) I would only be charged for $40.
I don't think that's a bad price at all.
This place was clean, quick, and relaxing!
I am so grateful of this doctor taking for the time and attention he gave me for this treatment.
I think I will definitely come back again next week, this will benefit me and my stress from school just in time for finals!
Not to mention this will help me relieve the pain!
I will update this review by next week and share my final results. read more
