Acupuncture near Atherton

“I just had my first acupuncture session with Sarah. Not only was she kind, but she took a full history and collected information for what I needed from acupuncture. Outstanding communication as Sarah not only asked me questions of what I was comfortable with in needle placement, but she also explained what she was doing in the moment and checking to make sure I was comfortable. Serenity Day Spa's environment is calming, welcoming, peaceful and attractive. I found myself on the verge of falling asleep during my session, which is something I never do. Best of all, they took my health insurance as my doctor prescribed acupuncture for my neck, shoulder and back pain. I included insomnia and pain in my wrists, knees and ankles. I already have some pain relief and slept better the last two nights. I'm blessed to have found Sarah and Serenity Day Spa.“

“This is my first time experiencing a chiropractor session. I feel different after my session. Dr. Jordan Savara is very accommodating and easy to deal with. And most of all, he knows what he's doing. He did a fantastic job for me today. I am coming back again for sure. I recommend Dr. Jordan for anyone who's looking for a chiropractor. They are located at 214 De Anza Blvd, San Mateo, CA 94002 and you will meet the lovely customer service. Her name is Sheri.“

“I am so grateful to Dr Beth at Many Lives for helping me navigate a high risk pregnancy.
My first pregnancy ended at 32 weeks due to severe preeclampsia and for my second pregnancy, I was referred to Dr Beth by my doula to help manage my blood pressure and prevent preterm delivery. I am so grateful she and the Many Lives team were part of my pregnancy journey. My blood pressure was controlled my entire pregnancy and I experienced all of the other amazing benefits of acupuncture from heartburn relief to stress management and eventually encouraging labor and optimal fetal positioning. I got to my induction date at 39 weeks and baby was in a perfect position. I highly recommend Many Lives to any women who are looking for ways to prevent and manage preeclampsia and hypertension.“

“I went to Dr. Zhu with lower back discomfort and some digestive issues. From a medical standpoint, I needed to lose weight and get more exercise to fully relieve my symptoms. But all that discomfort was getting in the way of my progress. I was interested in acupuncture and guasha and Dr. Zhu explained to me the ways in which these two techniques could improve my health. Our bodies can heal, but sometimes they need to be induced. Techniques like acupuncture, guasha and even cupping, whether they are delivering more circulation to affected areas, or some blocked energy is being released, these can help in your health journey. Dr. Zhu is good at explaining, she is thorough and takes her time with you. One 90-minute acupuncture session with her was already super helpful for my lower back pain. I was more able to sit up and get up without aching within like 2 days after recovery. If you are looking to relieve some non-communicable pain or discomfort, and you think ancient Chinese medicine techniques could help you, I highly recommend Dr. Zhu, she's great.“

“Dr. McColl at the Village Doctor has been my PCP for about a year and a half. I am so impressed with both his care and the responsiveness and care of the entire staff. In addition to meeting my immedicate medical needs, Dr. McColl has made excellent referrals to specialists for me. Nothing drops through the cracks at the Village Doctor.“

“Sachi has been an incredible person in my wellness journey, and I feel so lucky to have her as a resource. She listens to her patient's needs and really gets to the source of the issue.

I have been working with Sachi for the last 3 months. I came to her in late February as I was experiencing frequent migraines, borderline chronic. She truly helped me not only alleviate the immense tension in my neck and head; she got rid of the migraines altogether within 2.5 weeks. She also continues to help me with anxiety, digestion, and migraine prevention.

Currently, she has been helping me on my fertility journey, which I am so grateful for her guidance in this process.“

“This recommendation is long overdue. A few years ago, I received fertility acupuncture at Annie's (note: my account is under my husband's name). My OB-GYN had referred me, and at the time, I was determined to give everything my best shot - I wanted to try just once and make use of every resource available. I had such a wonderful experience. My IVF process went smoothly, and I was incredibly fortunate to have a baby girl on the first try. Of course, many factors contribute to success, but I truly believe choosing Annie's was one of the best decisions I made. The sessions helped me feel more relaxed and less stressed throughout the journey. I only wish I lived closer. I'd love to return for regular treatments.“

“Phenomenal! Very grateful I found Dr. Chen and Dr. Shen. Highly recommend -- I had never had acupuncture but had a pain from an injury come back, and pain meds didn't do anything for it. Muscle relaxant only helped a little, so I decided to try acupuncture. I can't believe how much better I feel -- I could hardly walk or sit/stand, and now I am nearly back to normal four days later. Even though I had never experienced it, I felt totally comfortable in my session, had all my questions answered, and overall felt very well cared for.“

“He is so expert in his job. The result is unbelievable good, and in comparison with others, he is doing it in most efficient way.“

“Dr Ke is very detail oriented and truly cares for her patients. I have been visiting her for a few months and has been taken care by her with couple of treatment. I especially like their herbs therapy, which takes more time to see the effects and I do see myself gradually become more energetic over time. I really thank Dr Ke for her patience with me and she also got considerate plans for my treatment according to Traditional Chinese medical theories. I will continue to visit Dr Ke going forward!“

“Feeling super blessed to have found such warm and healing vibes. I was blessed to meet Iris Lee to support me with acupuncture for my overall wellness/fertility. Iris is so skilled and knowledgeable in her practice. Iris is very compassionate and kind and made me feel safe. Since starting with treatment, I have felt a huge improvement in my body. I feel better and better after each session. I am always looking forward to my next session.“

“Dr. Yu was an excellent provider of care, genuinely taking as much time as I needed to feel comfortable in understanding my injury with me, and treating me with acupuncture and electric stimulation. I had 4 wonderful experiences at the office and hope to return there again. The office experience was very simple and straightforward. They have found a nice life in helping people with their skills. I highly recommend coming to Zen Acupuncture & Herbs.“

“I am so glad that I finally found this place after trying acupuncture and massage at so many other places. Doctor Gan is so knowledgeable and is always on point when she does acupuncture. I sit a lot at work and have both neck and back problem. In addition, I danced often so my legs are tight as well. She is able to help me loose the muscle and makes me feel recovered after every session. On top of that, they also have great therapeutic massages. Both Sunny and Leo are extraordinary and responsible. They are my life savers after a long working week“

“Margaret is the best! I have seen her for almost 26 years now and she is remarkably talented and caring! I just went in after getting a pretty severe concussion and I am 70% better the day after her treatment! I have so many stories, but that is the most recent!“

“I love Dr. Wang. I’ve seen many bodyworkers & acupuncture specialists for various chronic pain issues over 10+ years, and he is one of the best.“

“Dr. David is the real deal - he is truly an expert at acupuncture and was trained at a medical school in Beijing. When I was looking for an acupuncturist, it was really important for me to find someone with the right education and experience - unlike in the US, China takes eastern medicine very seriously and the training is extremely rigorous, like medical school. My family takes acupuncture very seriously and has high standards for it - my father is a neurologist in the US (but went to medical school in China) and regularly refers his patients to acupuncture. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. David because he is able to bring immediate improvement for my nerve pain following an injury. The whole experience is very relaxing, sometimes I even fall asleep. Bonus points - Dr. David also speaks fluent Chinese and Korean.“

“Wow! I echo all of the sentiments from the other reviews. This is a tranquil and relaxing experience and AJ knows his stuff! My lower back already feels better after just one session.“

“I am a lawyer at a tech company that manages a lot of stress (close deals worth billions), and I was looking for an accu that can help manage my lifestyle. I have stress and issues sleeping the entire night.

If you come across this place consider yourself truly blessed. I have seen more than a dozen accus throughout my life due to being in different job locations and know when someone is talented. Yaping Chen is so amazing. In one month working with her, my anxiety is barely there (it doesn't surface through the entire day) and I can sleep through the nights with no issue.

Yaping has this unique, unworldly way of working with people. Her heart is completely in her work, and she cares so much about her patients. She intuitively knows where blocks are in your body w/o you having to say much, and uses CranioSacral Therapy as a healing technique (that not many people know). Each accu session has brought so much joy.“

“Dr. Chen, is the BEST acupuncture person I have had. She is generous with needles and time. She is Soft spoken kind and doesn't rush you. My neck pain has drastically improved I feel much better. She gives you the works, acupuncture a massage, cupping a heat lamp.. wow you will leave very satisfied with Dr. Chen.
I highly recommend her if you have any kind of pain.“

“Dr. Megan worked magic on me! I had some discomfort in my elbow (most likely Golfer's elbow) that was affecting my ability to do something as easy as wringing out a towel. After her in take, she walked me through her plan of care and talked about each of the places she was putting points. The most exciting part of this appointment was the electro stim she incorporated into the treatment. She made sure I was comfortable before leaving the room & the rest I got a few minutes after she stepped out was amazing- best nap EVER.

My symptoms are better today. I am grateful for your help :)“

“Dr Lisa is knowledgeable, personable and explains everything. She takes the time to make you feel comfortable with everything she is doing. Me and my son recently started seeing her. Me for my tight hip and my son had an ankle sprain. He said to me “I LOVE acupuncture, and I really love my doctor. She’s so nice” he is really experiencing improvement and he is 100% sold on acupuncture now. She will be seeing a lot of him I am guessing. ? 10/10 recommend.“

“I called this center maybe 3 months prior to my first appointment with a accupuncturist. When I called, the receptionist told me they were booked out for 3 months in advanced. However, since this place was nearby and I read all the positive views on yelp, I really wanted to try this place out. So I gave them my insurance information and waited for my turn. Well the day finally came for my appointment. They did not send me any reminders for that day, but I wrote in my calendar that I had an appointment, however I was unsure if it was at 2:30pm or 2:45pm. So I opted to come a little before 2:30pm in hopes of not missing my appointment. When I arrived I like the receptionist know I was there for an appointment and she said she was very glad I showed up because she said it was her fault for not writing down my number when I booked the appointment way back when. Well thank goodness I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget and was able to see the acupuncturist. There are two acupuncturist at this center (Angela and Minal). I booked my appointment with Minal. She was very sweet and knowledge about the practice. I did an acupuncture with cupping. Cupping was an extra $10 that was not covered with my insurance but I figured it was still a good deal. I have only done acupuncture and cupping once before this experience. Minal said she does this thing called moving cupping. Where she uses the same cups but moves it throughout the whole back. There were a few points where I experienced extra pain from the needles (which she told me was because it was super tense there) and some pain with the heat from the cups. She released a little bit of the energy and then added it back when I was able to tolerate it a bit more. She was very kind and made sure to check in on my throughout the experience. I explained that I have been pretty bad back pain for awhile now since working at my job due to all the bending over and lifting. Even to a point that I bought a back brace. Minal was able to help relieve some of the pain and I can only hope that as I go more frequently it will be more helpful. Overall, I had a great experience with Minal. I will definitely be back for more appointments. It may be intimidating to know that it took me this long to get an appointment, but after you get your initial appointment, it's not as bad to get another appointment in. They have a system that notifies you when someone cancels their appointment so you can pick it up. Also to further convince you, I had the best sleep that night after my treatment so it is def worth it!“

“i’ve gotten a swedish massage with both janeel and patricia and both times were great!! they are friendly, professional, and very skilled!“

“I came in for help with my insomnia, and after a few treatments, I’m sleeping much better. The staff is friendly and professional.“

“Alicia is such a gem. I went to see about 10 acupuncturists before finding her and have now been seeing her over a year, through may different health challenges and experiences, and she always helps me find resolution. My sessions with her are profoundly relaxing, I consistently find pain relief for various injuries, and I got pregnant swiftly after years of chronic illness through my care with her. I also really appreciate her added background as a functional medicine practitioner and her expertise in manual therapy. She listens very attentively and I always feel that she deeply cares about helping me feel better. In times when I see her a bit less consistently, she always checks in with me via messaging. I'm so grateful to have found her on my health journey!“

“The healing acupuncture and adjustments I have received from Lawrence have been very effective. He is also friendly, patient and supportive.“
