Acupuncture in Irvine

“I highly recommend Dr. Park. She is wonderful and answered any questions I had because it was my first time with acupuncture treatment. She makes it fast and easy to schedule appointments. The space is always clean with a relaxing environment.
I have been dealing with a lot of pain and stiffness due to piriformis muscle and sciatic nerve compression.
After a month of treatment have noticed a significant improvement. My pain and stiffness are greatly reduced while mobility and flexibility are improved. It has been such a relief and I am happy with treatment. I will continue on!“

“Dr. Zhao is very experienced. I noticed significant improvement after just my first visit, and I’m hopeful that after 10 sessions, my hip pain will be completely resolved. Thank you!“

“I love Dr. Jeff! He is very knowledgeable and thorough with his practice. I would highly recommend him.“

“There are not enough words to describe how much I love this place! Infertility is a club you would never wish on your worst enemy and yet it connects you with some amazing people like Dr. Yang. Dr Yang was more than my acupuncturist, she was my weekly (sometimes biweekly) fertility therapist/support/friend! Her positivity and kindness helped me through the 7 years of fight to get to my babies. Now after 3 kids, I am so thankful she was and still is in my corner.

After our sessions, I walk out feeling lighter, hopeful, and excited for what is to come. She is incredibly skillful and attentive! I had to go through 4 acupuncturist frogs before I found Dr. Yang and can attest her expertise and knowledge is unlike any other. She really is second to none! Love this place and love her!“

“I hate to share, but I have to give credit where credit is due. The doctor here is the best. His demeanor is warm, kind and welcoming. He knows his skill and he will insure his patients receive top notch care with the utmost respect and professionalism. I can't say enough on how happy I am to have met him. Accepts insurance.“

“Dr. Li has impressed me so much. She intently and energetically focuses on the conditions and concerns I share with her. She goes to great lengths to gain a holistic picture, considering all the elements which might contribute to those issues (lifestyle, other parts of the body.) She takes copious notes, and then offers logical, well thought-out observations and recommendations. So pragmatic, insightful and balanced, it is refreshing to experience. I learned of her very high standards for x-rays (she had trained the technician I went to). She has also referred me to top-notch specialists who share high standards and a holistic approach.

Dr. Li gives me a great deal of peace of mind that I'm in excellent hands and receiving superb care.“

“I had an excellent experience with Brian Lee, LAc, Ph.D. From the very beginning, I was impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and genuine attention to his patients.

Dr. Lee takes the time to listen carefully, understand what you are experiencing, and explain his approach in a way that is clear and reassuring. You never feel rushed or treated like just another appointment. His combination of extensive experience, precision, and compassion immediately gives you confidence that you are in very capable hands.

What impressed me most is that his approach goes beyond simply treating symptoms. He looks at the overall problem and focuses on helping the body recover, improve mobility, and achieve meaningful, lasting results.

The office experience is also professional, welcoming, and comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Brian Lee and Cornerstone Acupuncture Institute to anyone considering acupuncture, pain management, or integrative care. Finding a healthcare professional who combines this level of expertise with genuine concern for his patients is not easy.

Five stars and absolutely recommended.“

“I been going here for more than a year, the office front desk Melissa is very kind, and dr Woo carries such calm and peaceful demeanor. The 2 ladies create a nice relaxing environment for the office. I always feel relaxed after coming. Thanks for helping me working through the pain.“

“I started going here and became pregnant within the first cycle after trying on and off for a long time… Dr.Lee is amazing and I would recommend this place to anyone trying to conceive. Dr. Lee and her staff were always so welcoming they were an amazing part of my first trimester too making sure everything went well. Im truly happy she was recommended to us because of her we are having our little baby… thank you“

“Coming to this clinic with my daughter has become much more than just a healthcare appointment. In the middle of our busy lives, it gives us a chance to slow down, sit together, and take care of ourselves side by side. These visits have turned into some of the most meaningful moments we share as father and daughter.
From the moment we walk through the door, we are welcomed with genuine kindness and warmth. The practitioners don't just treat symptoms; they truly listen and care. Their compassion, attention, and expertise make us feel understood, comforted, and valued.
Watching my daughter feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for means the world to me. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is in good hands. Seeing positive changes in both of our health has been incredibly rewarding, and I'm deeply grateful for the care we've received.
This clinic has given us something beyond healing. It has given us precious time together, moments of connection, and a shared journey toward better health. Every visit leaves us feeling lighter, stronger, and more thankful.
Thank you for creating a place where healing comes with such genuine heart. We look forward to every appointment and cannot recommend this clinic highly enough. DW & SY❤✨“

“I cannot say enough good things about Dr. John and his incredible staff. From day one, I felt welcomed, respected, and truly cared for. Dr. John is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also very patient and compassionate. He takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and make sure you feel comfortable and confident in your treatment.

The staff is equally amazing friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The environment is positive, calming, and supportive, which makes a huge difference during recovery and healing.

Thanks to Dr. John and his team, I felt supported both physically and emotionally. I am extremely grateful for their dedication and care. I highly recommend Dr. John to anyone looking for an outstanding chiropractor and an exceptional team.“

“Always an accommodating. I refer as many people as will listen to go for headaches, backaches or sports injuries. I’m a believer and have been going on and off for different ailments for years.“

“Dr. Takayama is wonderful! Gentle and soothing, personable, friendly and welcoming, and very timely. She has been doing acupuncture for my son for a couple of months now and we have see improvements in his symptoms.
They are out of network for our insurance but bill our insurance for us anyway. We get a reimbursement check from our insurance for every visit. The front desk staff is very friendly and prompt.“

“I had elbow pain, and after Dr. Dan's acupuncture treatment, the pain was gone immediately! Great experience!“

“I came to this studio and purchased the two-week unlimited trial, and it was honestly such a great value. I was able to try a bunch of different classes and get a feel for what I liked.

I hadn’t practiced yoga in several years, so I was a little nervous about getting back into it, but the studio is incredibly welcoming. I’ve taken several beginner classes with different instructors, and all of them offer helpful modifications, which I really appreciate

I’ve especially love the restorative yoga / sound bath with Annalisa—it’s been such a calming, grounding experience.

After finishing the trial, I decided to keep coming, and I’m really glad I did. It’s been really meaningful for me to get back into yoga, and I’m so happy to have found this place.“

“sessions with him did not help at all as he uses 1-3 needles where it does not hurt, so basically useless. Went to a different acupuncturist and was completely pain free. Even JOINT at Irvine was 10x better for pain relief because they listen to your problems than giving out generic advice.

I think Paul is dealing with his weight issues and buttock pain. I need relief so hopefully he learns where to put the needles soon, may be ask chatGPT?

he genuinely tries to help you hence the 5 star“

“I sought acupuncture treatment with Dr. Fu for postherpetic neuralgia after having shingles, and I am extremely grateful for the results. After just one treatment, I was able to sleep on my right side again—the side affected by shingles—which I hadn’t been able to do due to pain. My pain level dropped significantly. Please remember that everyone has a different response to the treatment, my body just happened to respond quickly in my opinion.

Dr. Fu is very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. My primary doctor mentioned that painkillers could help but warned they are highly addictive, so I decided to look for alternative treatment options. I’m so glad I found Dr. Fu.

Although the practice does not accept insurance, the care and results are absolutely worth it. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective alternative medical care, especially for chronic pain.“

“My wife and I have been visiting Dr. Cha for the past four years, and we can confidently say she is one of the best acupuncturists in Orange County. Her outstanding education and credentials speak for themselves, having received formal training from prestigious institutions.

Between the two of us, she has successfully treated frozen shoulders, alleviated pain from shingles, managed chronic pain from a 35-year-old knee injury, eliminated hand and finger arthritis pain, relieved sinus congestion, and addressed other private health concerns. Dr. Cha is not only highly skilled but experinced.

Due to my work, I spend long hours sitting in a chair, which led to pain in my legs and the soles of my feet. After several acupuncture treatments, I am completely pain-free.

Having visited numerous acupuncture clinics in China, Korea, and the U.S., I can say without hesitation that Dr. Cha is among the best I have ever experienced.

The attached picture shows my acupuncture treatment for managing pain from shingles.“

“I have been patient of Dr Kim for 20 plus years. She has helped me manage injuries to avoid surgery, sped my recovery from surgeries, and kept me healthy to enjoy an active lifestyle.Dr. Kim's holistic approach to my overall health and wellbeing has helped me lose weight (25 lbs so far) and I leave feeling better than when I arrived. She always seems to understand what is sore or hurting for treatment. Her recommendations for stretching and exercise are effective. Dr. Kim has valuable insights on managing life’s challenges from stress to diet to living a fulfilled life.She is kind and caring in her approach and always has time to listen and is the most professional of the doctors I see. Her treatments and medicine work! I very highly recommend Dr. Kim.Scott MLong Beach“

“I had seen 9 different Dr.'s for my chronic pain from a fractured rib and cartilage tear. I was told to take opiods, other pain meds for pain and time will heal. After 10 months of persistent pain I tried Acupuncture. Dr. Chen accepted my insurance plan , so I gave him a try. I was skeptical about Acupuncture since I did not know how it heals but after two weeks of therapy with Dr. Chen, the pain has basically subsided. I can sleep at night and am not taking any pain pills. Dr. Chen is very patient and listens to you. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Chen and not waste time and money on Dr.'s who are not able to treat your pain. I went to 3 different Pain Management Dr.'s, 1 Surgeon, who was a thoracic Surgeon, my PCP , a Chiropractor, 2 different Dr.'s in the ER and an Urgent Care Physician. If I had known how Acupuncture heals I would have gone straight to Dr. Chen. Don't waste your time and money on unproven treatment. Go for Acupuncture. I am now a believer.“
