Tim the acupuncturist helped me conceive and carry my pregnancy. Having been skeptical of acupuncture/herbs, I saw three other acupuncturists before finding Tim and had two unsuccessful IVF cycles. He provided herbs and acupuncture a couple months before I began my third IVF cycle and through my first trimester.

I really recommend acupuncture for fertility here. I was trying for 3-4 years to get pregnant. After I started acupuncture, I felt my body is more healthier than before. He had great recommendations for my diet as well. I got pregnant on the first IVF!! I couldn't believe that. Now I totally recommend this acupuncture doctor Tim. He always helps your body condition and thinks about you like you're family. I was lucky I could find here.

I have been seeing Dr Tim since June. He has helped me with my low back pain and we are currently working on regulating my cycle. I am also seeing the pelvic health specialist at the clinic as well. I've found great results seeing these two practitioners. I am so grateful for Tim's care and support!

Tim is very knowledgeable, gentle and intuitive. My husband went for back pain and had immediate results. Tim accepts workers compensation cases too.
I went for allergies, insomnia, rashes. Have not had any issues since! Tim also helped me change my mindset and diet. Although my insurance doesn't cover it, I pay out of pocket and it's the best thing I did.
Parking entrance is on Young Street and you drive underground. All other parking floors for residents of bldg.

I've been going to Tim for acupuncture for nearly a month. I waited to write my review until after I received a series of acupuncture sessions to be able to discuss in length the full benefits of acupuncture for one's health.
My experience with Tim has been excellent. His office is located at the Atlas/Eleven50 Building on King Street. The clinic is quiet and calming. It's an excellent place to unwind and relax while receiving acupuncture, reiki, or massage. Along with acupuncture, Tim shares his clinic with a massage therapist, life coach, and reiki practitioner.

I am 42 years old and I had been trying to get pregnant for over five years. I had tried a different acupuncturist for over a year or so but I decided to go to Tim since he is closer to where I live, I wasn't seeing results and I wanted to see someone who could also offer me advise on nutrition. I had decided to prepare for IVF as a last resource so I also went to see Tim for support as the fertility clinic recommended him. Tim gave me a lot of nutrition guidelines apart from the acupunture treatment. To my surprise I got pregnant naturally and I didn't have to undergo IVF. BTW, at

Nice person but didn't fully know what he was doing. Or maybe my case was unusual and not in his realm of experience.
this review is past due. it's from 2013. I went for fertility as I was 43 . but I didn't have any issues as such. but after every treatment I went into a deep anger/depression thing. it was very weird. medically nothing changed. it was the kind of symptoms that one reads about people have when they have PMS rage etc.
I would be in bed from depression and then swing to bouts of rage. Sorry Tim's a really nice person, but I owe it to everyone out there

I started going to Tim for treatment of pain in my ankle. I was having a difficult time just walking let alone working out. After the first visit he made my ankle feel better. I was amazed. After a couple months of treatment my ankle pain was nearly non-existent. He has a very gentle touch too. I had never tried acupuncture before and I'm not too keen on needles, so it was nice he wasn't jabbing them in me. Each time I left I felt extremely relaxed and zen-like. I'm a pretty busy girl and always running from one thing to the next so to be able to relax and breathe is pretty rare

Tim seems to be very knowledgeable and provides good care. It is also very easy to book appointments with him. That said, he is not very good about starting sessions on time. Routinely, he runs 15-20 mins behind on each of his sessions and I wish he would do a better job of providing realistic appointment time slots.

I started to visit EWC when I was 7 months pregnant with horrible pregnancy related hip pain. Tim's acupuncture treatments made all of my pain disappear and even helped with sleep and energy levels. He is knowledgeable about all things pregnancy related and made the last few months of pregnancy tolerable. At the end, he helped me with induction. I had contractions at the final acupuncture session and easily delivered my baby in the next 7 hours. This was a record considering my first labor was 3 days long. All of the nurses were surprised with my easy delivery and my even quicker recovery

I tried acunpuncture for the first time this week and I have found wonderful results! Tim's intuitive, knowledgeable and generous spirit made the experience smooth and enjoyable. I had terrible inflammation in my middle/lower spine and feel the beneficial effects. I would highly recommend going to Tim for TCM care, including acupuncture, herbs qigong healing and nutrition.

I started to go to Tim about a few weeks ago. he's knowledgeable and teaches me a lot of things regarding meditation books, and healthy food and habits I should consider doing besides just going to see him for acupuncture.
It makes me feel it's a good place to go for someone who is really looking to take care of themselves.

This review is wayyy overdue. I came to Tim when he was located on University Ave, with a severe back injury, limping and really needed help to control the pain as I was already out of the prescribed pain meds and tylenol wasnt cutting it.
But there was the secondary reason, where I needed help with getting my body back to good health so i could have a baby - I had had multiple miscarriages before.
Tim was excellent - not only did he slowly help me cope and control the pain, he also helped me get my health back on track.

I relied on the positive reviews here on Yelp and I am so glad I did, thus I wanted to pass along my story. I would recommend Tim to anybody who is going through the infertility process.
Tim has a great bed side manner and really understands your personal history. From there he determines the best course of action. I didn't feel like he would try techniques just to try them....but to make my sessions personal to my story. I have seen Tim over the past nine months for infertility and now for pre-natal care. He really cares.
I originally came in needing hope and he was genuine/sincere

I tend to keep acupuncture and Eastern medicine at the surface, remaining pretty skeptical of what it does. Also, looking at the previous reviews, I wasn't sure whether Tim, the acupuncturist, would be able to help my pulled hamstring or treat me for infertility instead. I had a competition in a week and I was willing to pull out all the stops.
Tim is first and foremost my typical impression of an acupuncturist. A calm-spoken and amiable person who I could trust poking needles through my skin. He's also very open to questions and was patient with my skeptical beliefs. I had three visits

Tim has been absolutely awesome! I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking acupuncture. After reading the reviews on Yelp, I decided to give him a try when I was trying to get pregnant at 42. I had been to the Stanford REI clinic and had tried injectible medications already without success. After 6 weeks of treatment with Tim, I am happy to report that I did get pregnant the next time I did treatment at Stanford!
The experience has been eye opening. Tim offers a multi-sided wellness approach. In addition to acupuncture, I took his customized herbs daily and totally changed my diet to

After several years of extreme neck and shoulder pain due to cervical spine degeneration and almost no mobility in my neck, Tim has me on the road to being stronger, vastly increasing the ability to move my head and, for the first time in a long, long time, living without copious amounts of ibuprofen.
Tim is very gentle and immaculate (a must!). He's incredibly knowledgeable of his science and confident in his abilities. Of course, he doesn't tell you that. Rather, it's in his touch.
He has the most subtle way of guiding you into therapy rather than ordering you into unknown territory

Kymberlee beat me to writing the first review for Tim! I've been seeing him for a few months, and I would agree with her assessment of his care: it is thorough, gentle and effective. He does an extensive intake for your first visit and continues to monitor progress at each visit. I've seen great results.
My mom's story is fantastic. After months of painful sciatica in which she had tried nearly everything but shots (physical therapy, etc.), she was ready to try acupuncture. So I brought her to Tim when she was recently visiting. After 2 visits, she was pain free, and continues
