Both my husband and I have been patients for years. As many reviewers noted, he not only employs a variety of techniques during one intervention - stim, dry needling, cupping and percussion massage - but also provides holistic advice such as nutrition. I am a skeptic by nature but he showed me data and videos which have been corroborated by peer reviewed journals. Yet, he is not pushy. He simply provides his experience around what has worked best. One thing I love is that during an appointment, he is working on you the entire time - no down time in between - you don't feel like you are left

I have been suffering shoulder pains from auto accident a few years ago. Dr. Lee took my pains away magically and now I have gained full motions for my left shoulder. It took a while to recover, but he was so patient, caring, and paying attention to details of my complaints. I have nothing but amazing experience interacting with Dr. Lee in this clinic. At first, I was skeptical about acupuncture but the way he treated me was combinations of both western physical therapy and oriental wisdoms. It really was astonishing great experiences. I highly recommend Dr. Lee. You won't be disappointed with

I found him on Google, without reading any of his reviews, my wife and I decided to go try him out. I have chronic shoulder back pain, he did an amazing work for the first time. Of course more sessions are needed to make it better, and I don’t doubt he will. My wife suffers from chronic migraine, neck and back pain. She had a tense neck and a persistent migraine for days. After the first session of acupuncture, my wife no longer felt the tense pain around her neck. Amazing. He is that good. Her migraine relieved and felt much better that when we first walked in. I believe she needs more sessions

Dr. Lee’s acupuncture and physical therapy treatments have helped me countless times over the years. He is meticulous with his treatments, intently listening to his patients and educating them on the treatments and benefits derived from them. I have recommended him to my family and friends who have had equally beneficial experiences with his treatments. And for any first-time patients, he makes the introduction to acupuncture a breeze! You’ll be so glad you went to Dr. Lee.

I never had acupuncture done before, and I saw that this place had decent reviews, so I decided to give it a try. I went to this place for alil over a month, and I guess i saw alil improvement for my pain. i wouldve continued going to this place, but the old woman at the front desk really makes it unpleasant to go. she was very rude and aggressive when it came to making an appt. and collecting payment. I work in the medical field myself and we never raise our voice or treat our patients with any kind of disrespect. I was seriously so shocked and so turned off by her actions. I understand that this

Simply put, if you have been suffering from chronic pain, there is no where better to go. Over the last twenty years, I've had my painful hips evaluated and treated at many different facilities, renowned and recommended by close friends. No amount of physical therapy or treatments helped, and I felt even more despondent when told by an orthopedic surgeon at Columbia Medical Center that I may eventually need a hip replacement surgery. Chronic pain diminished the quality of my life and took a huge toll on my psycho social well-being... and the saddest part of all this is that I learned to

First time there was this week. First of all, receptionist was super nice. I made my appointment in person. She's Korean and her English isn't the best, but she is fine.
The doctor is young and really seems to know what he's doing. He will evaluate your particular situation, then spend an hour directly working for you, only stepping out for 10 mins after he set the cups on you. But it's a lot of attention. I'm going back tomorrow!
Will update if/when my back is noticeably better.

Highly recommend this place. Dr Thomas is very nice and meticulous and he gives a thorough treatment that includes things other than acupuncture. The inside is much nicer than the outside. The receptionist can be a little difficult over the phone but she is a very nice in person in reality, just a language barrier made worse by the phone. To make the pricing issue clear, acupuncture by itself is $80 but if you include physical therapy it's only $15 plus your copay for the pt. Overall this place is great and the acupuncture has helped.

I have been seeing Thomas for chronic intermittent low back pain which i have had for several years. I have seen many other providers; chiropractors, physical therapists etc... I have found chiropractic treatment uncomfortable as I do not like being adjusted aka "cracked." Physical therapy helps but the therapists are always running from 1 pt to the other in a frantic manner and making you come in three times a week for 15-25 minutes at a time...
This place is completely different from any other practice. Thomas provides many different modalities such as acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping

Tried to make an appointment. Receptionist who answered the phone was rough mannered. Asked what insurance I had then told me that if i wanted acupuncture I needed to pay $15 extra. Extra for what, I asked. For acupuncture, she answered. $15 on top of what, I asked. For acupuncture, she told me. We went back and forth like this a couple times before I decided it wasn't worth figuring out what she was saying. If she meant that I'd have to pay an extra $15 on top of my co-pay for acupuncture, acupuncture co-pay with my insurance is $35, so why I'd have to pay an extra $15 for

Thomas is an exceptional therapist who cares deeply about his patients. I have been treated by him twice - once for back pain and once for intensive rehab after breaking my wrist.
What makes this practice special is that he is highly skilled at both physical therapy and at acupuncture. While you can find specialists who are great at either, it is difficult to find someone who is great at both, and is able to combine them in a way that most benefits the individual patient. The rate of progress you can achieve with his approach is much greater than with just basic physical therapy.
