I had an appt there, for acupuncture. The office was dirty and crusty. It had an old smell, and when I entered the room for service, there were boxes all over the table opened, and paper wrappers on the table with empty boxes. Takes 2 seconds to put wrappers and empty boxes in trash cans. The chiropractor's lab coat was dirty , I asked him why he wasn't wearing gloves to treat me, but he was a nice man . Also, the pillow case linen and towels were dirty. The rooms seemed like storage rooms for equipment that was no longer used . The girls at the reception desk were talking in their language laughing , as if they were talking about us patients waiting to be treated . I will not be back. Other acupuncture offices I have been to, have soothing music and smell clean with a relaxing vibe. This one in Hacienda Heights was bad.
Very accommodating overall. Front desk super helpful. I found them on my insurance website and they were the only one that accept same day appointment as a new patient. They also accept new patients on Saturday (big plus; i called multiple places and none of them were willing to accept new patient on a Saturday). I got assigned to Dr Wayne Huo, he is extremely professional and was able to tell me what was wrong even though I told him I'm not experiencing any pain and only visiting for a regular check up. Note: I was told by someone else that when I do squats at the gym, I'm slanted one side. I sometimes have pain on my neck and it goes away (I did not tell him these). Dr. Huo pinpoint both problems in me (he has no background information). A+++++++. Already made an appointment to come back in two weeks. Highly recommend this place, worth my 50 minute drive. If you also want to give him an opportunity to help you, visit him; he only work there Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
The front desk reception lady is terrible. She can and WILL get mad at you if you call in advance to change schedule because that inconveniences her. Like seriously? I called in ADVANCE to let you know I need to change my visit, don't give me an attitude during my whole visit later.
