On January 24, 2026, I posted this review on yelp and felt compelled to also post it here as well:
My only concern on posting this review is that Dr. Lu may get so popular and so busy, posing fewer choices for me to make an appointment.
I'm 73, I first visited Dr. Lu nearly a year ago due to a painful/swollen right knee. I could barely bend it. At the end of the first treatment (20+ minutes) a good portion of the pain had gone replaced with improved mobility; after a couple followups I was back on my treadmill.

A lot of people are skeptical about acupuncture. I was, too. But I tried it and it actually worked. Even better than the chiropractor, because chiropractic relief is temporary and you keep having to go back. Acupuncture helped relieve the pain I was experiencing in my neck and shoulders. Dr. Lu is outstanding. Highly recommend.
Dr. Lu has been an absolute lifesaver for
me. He has helped me with chronic knee pain, back pain, and head pain that I couldn’t get relief from anywhere else. Every visit he takes the time to really understand what’s going on with your body and the results speak for themselves — I always leave feeling significantly better. The office is clean, professional, and welcoming. If you’re on the fence about acupuncture, Dr. Lu will make a believer out of you. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with pain that just won’t go away
