I’ve had a very positive experience with Dr. Liu and would absolutely recommend her. I came in with SI joint pain, and she was friendly, attentive, and thorough from the beginning. She took the time to explain the possible causes of my joint pain in a way that was easy to understand, and she stayed focused on the three main issues I had identified.
I also appreciated that she always had a good dialogue with me before treatment, so if anything needed to be adjusted, it was addressed right away. That made the whole experience feel very personalized and thoughtful. Best of all, I started to feel relief fairly quickly, after just the first couple of sessions.
I’ve been very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsive, and effective acupuncturist.

I've been seeing Dr. Liu for acupuncture, and it has been a really positive experience. Her treatments have helped me relax a lot and reduce overall tension in my body. I also noticed improvement in my lower back pain and hormonal balance. Over time, my menstrual cycle has become more regular, which I really appreciate. Dr. Liu is gentle, attentive, and makes me feel comfortable during every session. I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for a holistic approach to stress relief and women's health.

I’ve been suffering with psoriasis for a couple of years now. Doctors kept prescribing topical steroid creams which would temporarily help with itching but not really anything else. Next steps in Western medicine would be UV light therapy 3 times a week and if no sucess, ultimately medication. I decided to try acupuncture as Dr. Sarah has helped me with other chronic issues in the past. I’m so glad I did! Dr. Sarah recommended a treatment plan of acupuncture, custom herbs and lifestyle + diet changes. Over the course of my treatments, my flare-ups decreased—less redness, less itching, and my skin finally started to calm down. The constant irritation became much more manageable. If you’re dealing with psoriasis or other inflammatory conditions and feel like you’ve tried everything, I highly recommend giving acupuncture a chance here. Thank you Dr. Sarah!

Dr Liu is the best acupuncturist I’ve seen. I have multiple pain issues (elbow, back and leg) and she is very attentive and meticulous to find out the underlying problems. She and the massage therapist both show such dedication that go above and beyond my expectations in treating my issues, which have significantly improved. I’m really thankful and lucky to have found them!

Dr. Liu is truly an amazing and caring doctor — I honestly feel like she’s a mom to me as an international student.
I’ve suffered from migraine headaches for many years and have tried countless treatments, but nothing really worked. My migraines were so severe that I had to go to the ER a few times due to extreme pain and near loss of consciousness. Unfortunately, my condition wasn’t frequent enough to qualify for the CGRP antibody injection, so I felt hopeless when Western medicine ran out of options. It was like living with a time bomb that could go off at any moment.
I found Dr. Liu during this desperate time. At first, I was skeptical — I had tried Chinese medicine and acupuncture once or twice before without much improvement. But the first time she treated my fengchi trigger points, I immediately felt something different: a mild soreness, but also a remarkable clarity in my head. Even though I live in San Francisco, I decided to commute every other week to see her. After just a few sessions, my migraine frequency and intensity decreased by about 70–80%. Now that my headaches are much more under control, I finally feel confident planning my life and travels again.
As a researcher at UCSF studying brain disease and women’s health, I’m deeply impressed by Dr. Liu’s knowledge. Whenever I mention new studies or perspectives, she understands the connections between Western and Chinese medicine and always offers insights that inspire me.
Both Dr. Liu and the massage therapist, Mrs. Li, have taken incredible care of me. They listen carefully every time—whether I’m dealing with migraines, insomnia, period pain, or a cold—and tailor the treatment to my needs. They’ve also supported me emotionally through job changes and life challenges.
I feel so grateful to have found this clinic. Dr. Liu and Mrs. Li genuinely care about their patients, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

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!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Liu for several months. I came in with chronic sciatica and lower back pain. It was truly affecting my day to day life. But after only a few months of regular treatment the pain has been lowered tremendously. I look forward to my weekly sessions, and am honestly sad and can feel the difference when I’m unable to go.
And on top of her incredible skill in her practice, she is kind and caring. I know she wants what’s best for me. I’m treated like a valued human, not just a client or patient.
I’m thankful every day for Dr. Liu, and look forward to all of the positive benefits she will continue to bring to my life.

Dr. Liu, the female Doctor/owner of this business is a superb healer and is a very effective doctor. I'm currently seeing her for a painful issues with my Piriformis muscle that is affecting my walking and bending. She asks a multitude of questions to pinpoint your issue and is very informative on what she is doing during treatment (excellent communicator). She has literally almost instantaneously healed me in a few sessions and I'm pleased to see her when I have complex issues. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Instead of taking pain medication for my acute back pain, which most us know how bad it is inside our bodies, I prefer acupuncture and I only trust Dr Liu for it. With her care, expertise and professionalism, my pain gone in just two sessions. Thank you Dr Sarah! You are the best!!!
