    I cannot recommend Fengli Lan highly enough, especially for anyone navigating complex, multi-system health challenges. She is a rare practitioner who doesn't just treat symptoms; she cares for the whole body. Her ability to integrate acupuncture, cupping, massage, and Gua Sha with a deep knowledge of Chinese herbs has been a game-changer for my recovery. She is an incredible listener, highly responsive, and consistently kind. If you are looking for a practitioner who truly 'sees' you and treats you with both expertise and compassion, she is the one.

    | learned about Dr. Lan from the most amazing Kelly Luckey. And Kelly was so right.
    Dr. Lan has helped me with a variety of conditions - including back, shoulder, balance, ankle and knee injuries. She has also greatly helped me with menopause symptoms. Dr. Lan is patient, kind, smart and amazing. I so highly recommend her and her great massage team. Plus, if you are afraid of needles then she can do infrared acupuncture.

    Fengli is truly an incredible doctor of Chinese Medicine. She has on multiple occasions gone out of her way to help me in moments of urgency and sickness. She has provided me with healing herbs, come in on days she was closed, and is an excellent acupuncturist. I’m very sensitive and she has been able to needle me with great care and comfort. She is always willing to go above and beyond to provide the best treatment possible and I highly recommend her. She is a wealth of knowledge and genuinely cares for the well-being of her patients, even checking in to see how things are going! Definitely the best in town!
