Acupuncture in San Jose

“Shuqing Jing is an excellent acupuncturist. She’s very knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. She takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and makes each session comfortable and effective. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for thoughtful, skilled acupuncture care.“

“Very high quality service and calming office space. I always leave the place feeling refreshed and relaxed. Dr.Smriti has been amazing in treating my chronic neck and back pain. I was also suffering from cystic acne and She has helped clear them up and also provided preventive care too. I highly recommend!“

“First time patient, comfortable and knowledgeable practitioner, left feeling much better, can't wait to go back! ☺️“

“After suffering from chronic migraine for years I was tired of the toll they were taking and sought any relief that I could. From my first appointment with Quli, I was convinced that acupuncture was the relief to my pain! She and her staff are always so welcoming and have done wonders to temper the severity and frequency of my migraines as well as help with weight loss and issues with allergies and fertility! If I could I would give more than 5 stars!“

“As a local chiropractor, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Acupuncture Avenue for over 10 years. Dr. Peter’s depth of knowledge and clinical expertise has been consistently impressive —he’s been instrumental in helping many patients with complex, chronic conditions. I highly recommend Dr. Peter for anyone seeking skilled, effective acupuncture care.“

“Amy is truly amazing! I went to her for help with postpartum cold sensitivity, knee pain, and irregular periods. Amy combines acupuncture with herbal medicine in her treatments, and she also gave me a lot of helpful advice on diet and lifestyle. With her support, I’ve recovered so much!
She is also incredibly patient and understanding. I had to reschedule several times due to my own conflicts, and she was always very accommodating. I’m really grateful to her. Highly recommend!“

“Dr Amy Yang is the best acupuncture doctor! I have seen many acupuncture doctors over the last ~20 years, and none of them are anywhere close to being as good as Dr Yang. She does Chinese Traditional Medicine, and has been trained by top doctors in China. After I started seeing her, I found out she even has written multiple books and has a Phd! She is super smart and is fluent in both Chinese and English

My Story:
I have ITP, which is an autoimmune disorder. I have been seeing American doctors for years, and have to take several medications for it. The doctors, hospitals, and medications have taken their toll on me. After seeing Dr Yang, my energy is noticeably better, I look younger, my thinking is much better (which shows up in my work performance), my ITP is getting better, I’m sleeping better, and feel happier. My body feels like it is getting stronger starting on the inside, which is the best way to heal.

Recently, I had really bad allergies from pollen, and my nose and sinuses were complete stopped up. I mentioned it to Dr Yang, and she added in extra treatment to deal with that. I had fast relief, and my nose and sinuses opened up and everything cleared out!

At each appointment, Dr Yang will check the tongue, and use other Chinese methods see how my body is responding to treatment. Then she will adjust the treatment accordingly. She also teaches methods to deal with “life” things that come up, and teaches better mindset during treatment. She taught me breathing excercises to do, and she uses QiGong while placing the needles, which makes treatment even more effective. These things all make a noticeable difference.

Though Dr Yang is an amazing acupuncture doctor, she is also far more. She is very compassionate towards her patients, is deeply concerned with their well-being, teaches problem-handling skills, provides new perspectives on “life”, and teaches healing energy. All of this in addition to the QiGong mentioned above. I am very grateful for having found Dr Yang.“

“Qi's fingers find the knots you didn't even know you had! I feel so much better for the work she's done with me.“

“Great service, knowledge and beautiful place. Would recommend. I did electro acupuncture and scheduled another appointment for myofascial release work.“

“This is the second acupuncturist I've tried, you can actually feel the needle pressure from her needles, but this also means the needles are more painful than other places (DYOR). My neck and back tightness have lessened as a result.

I recommend very clearly describing medical diagnoses before going with a treatment plan. I do NOT recommend her masseuse; I have lingering bicep tendonitis and shoulder labral issues that were greatly magnified from the masseuse, who did not respond at all to my complaints.“

“I am so grateful I found Shasta. After a series of shots a few years ago, I went through a miscarriage and struggled with severe daily nausea for over a year. Nothing seemed to help until I started treatment with Shasta. With her care and recommendations, my nausea completely went away, and not long after, I became pregnant with my son.

Her treatments made my pregnancy calm, balanced, and truly incredible. Now, I still see her regularly to help keep my hormones in check, and every visit leaves me feeling renewed.

Shasta is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly gifted at what she does. I couldn’t recommend her more!“

“Hello people

This acupuncture place is very professional. I always have shoulder and lower back pain and I tried many place but Jun Yi Acupuncture brought relief for all my pains. Heads up for knowledge staffs and the owner. Thank you again I ll definitely come back.“

“Dr. Kwok is amazing! She explains things thoroughly, clearly, and in a concise manner. She is always so pleasant and professional. She always asks questions and answers all questions I have before the treatments. She is really care about her patients. With the treatments she provided to me, they helped to support my pregnancy and made my first semester smoother. I trust and highly appreciate her knowledge and advice. Would highly recommend her!“

“You will not find a better Chinse Medicine herbalist than Steve Woodley.

I've sought out numerous practitioners over the years, but Steve is truly in a league of his own. His understanding of Chinese Medicine goes far beyond textbook knowledge; it's a deep, intuitive mastery that's evident in every session. His ability to diagnose, and treat with such precision is unparalleled. His skill and genuine embodiment of the medicine translate into incredibly effective, personalized and transformative treatments.

After undergoing major abdominal surgery, Steve helped with gastric side effects, chronic pain, slow healing incision sites, and regulating my menstrual cycle. His herbs supported my emotional wellbeing and reduced the fears I had of having undergone the surgery for naught.

After a few months of herbal remedies from Steve, I feel like I am crawling back from the dead and feel excited to have a life I can be present in again.

I can not recommend Steve Woodley enough.“

“I am forever thankful for Nurture Acupuncture. For my first pregnancy, Dr. Mimi did all my treatments in the Foster City office. I continued with my acupuncture after giving birth to my daughter to recover and to prepare for my second. During this time, Dr. Mimi moved and I was pretty sad about it because I had developed a relationship with Dr. Mimi which is very emotional because she had been with me from before transfer to pregnancy to recovery. Currently in my second pregnancy, I am mainly treated by Dr. Fischer. At the Foster City/San Mateo office, there is only one doctor, so they really get to know you. With doctors in general, there's professional, and there's those that are also kind and make you feel like they enjoy treating you. At first I wasn't thrilled that they changed doctors at that office, but after some time, I realize that Dr. Fischer is also very good. He seemed to be more strict on the dietary restrictions. I feel like he is tough on me, but he is also very caring and follows up with me on how I'm doing. During this second pregnancy, the Foster City office shut down and was suppose to move to San Mateo, but there was some delay so from January to March I had to drive to the San Jose office which was a bit farther for me from San Francisco. There I met Dr. Lu, who I see as the master. He is very friendly, informative, and professional. At the San Jose office, they also have assistants, which I don't prefer, but it's ok. Obviously, each doctor is a little different, but overall I really like nurture acupuncture.“

“LeReve has the most amazing staff… Tiffany at front desk is just such a joy and welcoming when you come in for appointments. I go here for laser hair removal and they are amazing ! Totally recommend“

“Hongwei medical group helps a lot with my running and training.I like running and I am training for marathons, Angel's professional Tui Na and deep tissue therapy help me recover fast and continue with my weekly training.She also helps me with my tight neck and shoulder. She is knowledgeable with sports medicine and gave me lots of running information and encouragement.All the staff of Hongwei medical group are professional and friendly. The environment is welcoming, comfortable and clean.I highly recommend this medical center.“

“Dr Brian is amazing! I love his adjustments and soft tissue work, gentle yet efficient. It also helps patients feel more comfortable visiting when your clinic is well-stocked with snacks. ?“

“I recommend Maystar Acupuncture highly enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt a deep sense of calm and care. The clinic is beautifully maintained—clean, peaceful, and designed to help you feel at ease right away.

Dr. Liu is truly exceptional. Their knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is impressive, but what sets them apart is the genuine attentiveness and compassion they bring to each session. They took the time to really listen to my concerns and tailored a treatment plan specifically to my needs. Especially my fertility needs, i got pregnant naturally that was 2023, now im back for more treatments.

The results have been incredible. I noticed improvements not just in my initial symptoms, but also in my overall energy, sleep, and mood. Every treatment feels restorative—both physically and emotionally.

Whether you're new to acupuncture or have tried it before, Maystar is on another level. Professional, healing, and wholeheartedly dedicated to your well-being. I’m so grateful I found this place!“

“Brian is the best acupuncturist I have ever had. I came in for my tinnitus and two sessions later it’s gone. Never slept better in my life.“

“Dr. James is incredible. He is so attentive, and intuitive and truly cares about the person he is treating. Best TCM doctor in the Bay Area.“

“Knowledgeable and kind staff. Clean and efficient organization of treatment rooms. Welcoming environment.“

“I have been visiting Light Health for several years now. The front staff is professional, understanding, and accommodating. The staff working on patients are also very professional, patient, and helpful. I recommend this place to all that ask.“

“David has been a trusted practitioner for both my husband and I for over a year. We regularly visit him for acupuncture and cupping, and each session has been a very consistent positive experience. What sets David apart is his attentiveness—he genuinely listens and focuses on the areas where we feel the most discomfort. His approach is calm, patient, and highly skilled, making every visit both therapeutic and reassuring. If you’re looking for someone who truly prioritizes your care and comfort, David is an excellent choice.“

“This is my first experience with acupuncture, and I couldn't have found a better doctor to guide me through it. From the very beginning, Dr. Huang has been incredibly attentive, always asking thoughtful questions about my progress and genuinely caring about my well-being. You can tell he’s highly experienced and truly passionate about what he does.

I first started seeing him when I found out I was pregnant. Acupuncture helped me tremendously throughout the pregnancy—reducing swelling, relieving back pain, improving sleep, and even helping with constipation (a common and frustrating issue during pregnancy). Emotionally, I felt much more balanced, which I know made a big difference for both me and my baby.

When I learned I had to be induced early, he supported me through that process as well. Postpartum, he’s continued to help me—especially with emotional regulation, sleep, and overall recovery. During one visit, he even gave me ear magnets to help me relax, which I really appreciated.

He’s also very flexible with scheduling, and it's easy to see how much he wants his patients to succeed. I believe so much in the benefits that I even convinced my husband to start seeing him—because honestly, I think everyone can benefit from getting their meridian lines balanced, even if you don’t know much about acupuncture (like me!). It just works.

Another huge plus: he works with insurance and is very prompt about filing claims, which makes everything easier.

I’m truly grateful for his care and can’t recommend him enough!“
