Nurture Acupuncture

Sep 2023

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.

They will adjust for you, sometimes that means timing for appointment or what your body needs. If going through IVF, they know how it works and what your body is going through. They are very caring and want you to feel comfortable.

I highly recommend this acupuncture studio! Very knowledgeable acupuncturists, especially Pho-Lin Shyu. The recommendations regarding nutrition were also very helpful. The preparation for my IVF cycles was excellent and it's the only place I've heard of that offers an abdominal massage prior the transfer. Very calming, relaxing atmosphere.
