Stanislaus Acupuncture offers effective treatment for chronic pain through acupuncture, particularly for conditions like sciatic pain and back issues. Many clients have reported significant relief after multiple sessions, finding it to be a solution after trying various other treatments. Dr. So is praised for his extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine and his ability to deliver great results. However, some customers have noted that the receptionist can be off-putting and hard to understand, which may affect the initial experience. Despite this, many recommend overcoming the initial impression, as the benefits of treatment are well worth it. Appointments can fill up quickly, so it is advisable to call ahead.
I agree with all of the people leaving reviews who are put off by the receptionist. I totally get it and I had the same impression before I was actually able to be seen by Dr. So. But, if you can get past that, and just chalk it up to some people are just offputting, the Dr is amazing. I saw him about 10 sessions for severe chronic sciatic pain/piriformis syndrome. I had tried everything, physical therapy, anti inflammatory medicine, muscle relaxers, steroid injection. Nothing ever helped, until I started receiving acupuncture treatment. This is literally the only thing that has ever worked, and it works extremely well. Trust me, I don't appreciate the poor customer service from the lady at the front (she's actually his wife) but if you are able to endure it (lol) and just let it go, it will be the best decision you've ever made! Especially if you suffer from chronic pain. It's worth it!
I was recommended to Dr. So by my massage therapist who swore by him! I took my boyfriend who's had issues with his back for many years and he's also been currently battling some stomach issues that we've received no answers from doctors for almost two years. While the stomach problems are still occurring but not as strong, his back pain has went away! We only did one session with him but we are planning on going back soon and hoping he can give him some relief for his stomach issues. They are booked a couple of weeks in advanced so make sure to call asap!
Dr is very knowledgeable. I felt a relief that I could not get from chiropractors, MD's. Neurologists, becoming a vegetarian, remedies etc. Just so you know my main problem is migraines. I like that he's not pushy like saying to come back 2-3 times a week or something like that. I will come back for another round of acupuncture and this has nothing to do with the Dr I just need it for maintenance. Try him, his service is so worth every dollar.
