Acupuncture in San Francisco

“This practice is very comfortable and convenient and everyone is very pleasant and considerate. You should check them out they are worth it.“

“Juheng acupuncture provides incredibly thoughtful and diligent care. Had never gone to acupuncture before my visits here. I’m truly grateful that their treatments helped me recover from a longstanding back injury and encourage anyone on the fence to try it out. Everyone here is kind, patient, and truly wants the best for you and your body.“

“Donna is a wonderful person and talented acupuncturist. I started seeing her during the pandemic, when I was stressed and had terrible insomnia. Each session with her was the bit of self-care needed to help get me on the right track! She listens carefully, has a calming presence and is a great healer. More recently, I've seen Allie, who is also wonderful and very capable!“

“I have gone to this place on and off for more than 10 years over two locations. I always feel better when I go and their practitioners and front desk people are always great, and the prices can't be beat!“

“Tony was absolutely wonderful!! The pressure applied was perfect—not too soft and not too strong—and I felt GREAT after my 60-min massage. Will definitely return!“

“Best massage ever! Julio helped relieve a pulled neck muscle and I walked out feeling great. Highly recommend going and am so glad a friend recommended him to me.“

“Coreen introduced me to an entire world of wellness. She was my first ever acupuncturist, and I can't imagine having had a better introduction. She treats the entire body, and not only diagnosed but also healed my rosacea (even though that's not what I initially saw her for). It's been 6 months since I last saw Coreen, and I haven't had another occurrence. Outside of my skin looking fantastic, I've never felt better or more in touch with my body than when I was seeing Coreen. I tell all of my friends to go to Coreen, she's a true healer and I'm so grateful for having met her.“

“Lis is an incredibly talented healer. She takes the time to listen to what is going on in your life and with your body. She uses that knowledge to really delve deep into how best to treat you. I’m so grateful to have her in my life.“

“Elanita Korian made me feel perhaps the best I’ve ever felt, in one of the worst weeks of my life. I contacted her the week I came down with Bell’s Palsy (partial facial paralysis) after my doctor said acupuncture might help. I was a mess—scared and unsure of what was going on with my body. After a quick phone consultation, Elanita fit me into her busy schedule, and I’m so grateful that she did.Elanita did acupuncture on my face, hands, and feet, LED light therapy on my face, and light cupping on my face, as well as using essential oils. I’d never had acupuncture before seeing Elanita, so I had no idea what to expect, but afterward, I felt lighter. I felt like I was floating and like a burden had been lifted. I felt really cared for at a moment when I needed someone to care for me. Her demeanor is calming, and I felt like she was really listening to me. Elanita followed up by recommending an iron and herb supplement for energy—I’ve been taking it and I think it’s helpful—and she immediately sent notes about me to a different acupuncturist I planned to see who takes my insurance. Her practice is conveniently located downtown, right by Muni and BART, and the space is lovely.I’d had nothing to compare my visit to at the time, but now I’ve been to a couple of acupuncturists who take my insurance, and there’s just no comparison. Other acupuncturists I’ve seen are just people sticking needles in my face and body, which might or might not help, but seeing Elanita was transformative. I’m planning to go back to Elanita and splurge on paying out of pocket because I’ve never felt so good in my life.“

“Teresa was absolutely amazing....if I could give her 10 stars, I would! She was warm, nurturing, kind and incredibly skilled at her craft! The space itself was equally lovely, clean and welcoming. I highly recommend!“

“I have received acupuncture treatment from Dr. Ann Kim for lower back sciatica and right leg neuropathy with great success. On my first treatment, the results were automatic. Dr. Kim guides her patients with gentle awareness of the human body. She gained her appreciation for the ancient Asian science of healing through multi-generational experience from her elders. And she applies her understanding and compassion for the human condition with the skills of a master. Since my treatments, I have been able to stop the pain medications I had been taking and have found more energy and drive to move past my physical limitations to live a more productive and happy life. I gladly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone who desires such a new lease on life. Cheers. And Thank you Dr. Kim. Sincerely John T.“

“He is fantastic and I am embarrassed it took me so long to write this review. I went to Aaron a few years ago because I was having pain in my shoulder and I mentioned I also had suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for several years. He then used a Traditional Chinese Medicine medical massage to stretch my hip, leg and stomach muscles and IN ONE SESSION my IBS was gone after years of suffering from it. It was basically miraculous in my opinion. He helped me understand how the stress in your body is all connected to multiple different muscles and if you stretch out one area, you can heal another area. Bottom line Aaron helped me see the power of TCM and he radically improved my life. Thanks Aaron! Definitely one of the BEST acupuncturists and TCM doctors in the Bay Area!“

“I visited Ivy three times early in my pregnancy, when I was experiencing extreme morning sickness. She was very attentive and caring, and she listened to my needs during a very vulnerable period. She was very gentle with acupuncture, and she provided me with my first cupping experience. She made sure to take good care and adjust her style according to my responses.“

“I was referred to Denise by a friend after I have been struggling with infertility and a few unsuccessful treatments. She is not only a wonderful acupuncturist, but she is also a great listener. She is very supportive in every step of the cycle. I am afraid of needles, and Denise is very careful with them, I started to actually enjoy it! After seeing her for about 6-7 months, my ever irregular period is 90% back on track just like any woman without infertility issues. I highly recommend Denise if you are going through the same experience.“

“Professional treatment for help with anything behalf the healing proces.5 stars out of 10 is a shy nr“

“Working with Paola has been life changing for me. Major health improvements across the board in all physical energy systems; stress, sleep, gut health and balancing hormones. Very experienced practitioner with immense kindness. Amanda who manages the office is amazing too. Highly recommend!!“

“Stephanie was recommended to me by my old acupuncturist in LA and I'm so grateful she was. She specializes in sports injuries, which has been immensely helpful! But, from pole/climbing pains to insomnia to thyroid disease, we've worked on it all.I am especially grateful for her going above and beyond to learn more about treatment options the conditions I was dealing with (like treating ptosis). When facing surgery as my only option, acupuncture was able to improve my eyelid function without having to go under the knife.While I'm not so sure about qi and all that, I am certain that Steph's treatments have really done wonders for me! If you are skeptical about acupuncture, I'd say give it a shot and the worst that could happen is the best nap of your life. I myself try to come in every month or so just for a tune up when I can. The office is very welcoming and easy to relax in. It's located right off the J on Muni, so it's a convenient location in Noe Valley!“

“Highly recommend going here for acupuncture, I live on the East Coast and I am an acupuncturist myself and pulled my back out on the flight. I looked around for trigger point/dry needling/sports medicine acupuncturist so I am so happy I found Chris. I am feeling so much better after one treatment and I’m recommending to family in the area. Thank you!“

“I was introduced to Andrew by a friend who dubbed him as nothing short of magical. After experiencing his expertise firsthand, I couldn't agree more. Andrew's mastery of the human body and its intricacies truly feels like a kind of magic.I've been to other specialists for my chronic upper back and neck pain, but Andrew is different. He focuses on treating the actual problem, not just masking the symptoms. For the first time, I walked out of an acupuncture session and went back to exercising without feeling any pain. It was a game-changer. I feel as if I've been given a brand new back. Honestly, I never thought a life without back pain was possible until now.While I was also working with Andew some other health issues came up that couldn’t be diagnosed by western medicine. His thoughtful and holistic approach immediately made me feel understood and valued. Throughout our sessions, he would patiently explain the various points he was working on or the sensations I was experiencing, shedding light on what was going on internally within my body. Thanks to him, I now have a deeper appreciation for how imbalances in one area can send ripples throughout the entire system. He was able to find the root cause, guiding me slowly but surely on the path to recovery.I feel blessed to have met Andrew, he really has changed my life and I’m grateful for that.“

“Relief! The first word I associate with Toci Wellness. I went to see Liam for back and calf pain pain and after my first visit I saw results. I've had acupuncture in the past, and Liam is the best. In addition to acupuncture, he uses a combination of cupping and Chinese massage to address your pain. He spends a lot of time assessing your specific issue(s) and a good duration of time with the treatment itself. He is also a really calm and pleasant person.“

“Natalie helped me with IT band issues that almost derailed my first half marathon. She played a key role in getting me back to running pain-free. She's also been a huge help in managing chronic pain. Natalie is extremely down to earth and always makes me feel comfortable!“

“Anita is a seasoned professional, incredibly compassionate and intelligent. I have struggled with hyperhidrosis my entire life - trying every remedy and possible solution to no avail. Until Anita! She has given me the most relief from sweating I've ever had and made me so comfortable every step of the way. Could not more highly recommend Anita! She provided a very tailored experience, relieving sweating symptoms as well as underlying symptoms. Anita has been imperative to my overall health and happines.“

“Dr Kenneth Lau is a literal MIRACLE WORKER. I've had an 8+ year chronic stiffness problem along the right side of my body that I've spent $40K+ trying to resolve. I've seen the best results and am nearly cured from Dr Lau's combined acupuncture, herb, and exercise treatments. Dr Lau is really concerned about identifying the root cause of the issue and recommends a range of options (super holistic!) to solve the problem. He knows a TON and is a combined western physician, acupuncturist, herbalist, life coach, and PT all in one. His bedside manner is also impeccable - super soothing, non judgmental, and gentle with his needle placements.The clinic is really awesome too. It's centrally located, really spacious and clean, accepts insurance payments, and is really affordable (~$100/session + affordable bulk packages that take the price down to $80/session). The front desk staff are also super courteous and responsible/good at their jobs - big shoutout to Crystal whose always so prompt with submitting statements receipts.I really love this place!!“

“I've been coming to Christy for about 4 years now and I cannot say enough about how much she always helps me, no matter the ailment. I'm a medical challenge in Western medicine, but Christy takes excellent care of me. I've been a fan of acupuncture for about 20 years and had numerous practitioners and I can say, hands down, that Christy is the best I've been to. It's really nice that she accepts most insurance, so it's really doable when I see her regularly. She offers herbs when needed, but isn't pushy which I like. She's just down to earth and compassionate and I really love that about her. If you're new to acupuncture or well seasoned, she can help.“

“I am thoroughly enjoying my acupuncture and cupping treatments from Michelle - this is one of the only practitioners I've seen that has helped me feel a significant improvement in my back pain and overall mental clarity due to a neurological condition. Very thankful she is close by and so wonderful at what she does!“
