Oasis Community Acupuncture is one of many community acupuncture (CA) practices in the U.S., helping make acupuncture affordable and accessible to people of all income levels. There are also clinics in Canada, Israel, the U.K., Ireland and Australia. Research in the U.S. and thousands of years of tradition in Asia have shown that in most cases, acupuncture is most effective when given frequently and regularly.
With the affordable rates at Oasis CA, clients can complete a recommended course of treatment, without having to stop the treatments prematurely because of the money issue. To make the practice sustainable, treatments are given in a group setting, on recliners, with several clients being treated in one hour.

Services
To help make the practice sustainable, several clients are treated in one hour, in a shared room, on recliners. The treatment area is a Quiet Zone, so as a courtesy to others, please whisper when you need to communicate with me in this area. Only sterile, single-use needles are used. These are hair-thin, unlike the hypodermic needles used for injections by doctors.
Please arrive 20 minutes before your appointment time so you can read and complete the initial paperwork. Wear clothing that can easily roll up to the elbows and knees. I practice a style of acupuncture where the points needled are below the elbows and knees to the hands and feet, and occasionally the ear/s.

If you are hesitating, don't. This place is really as good as it sounds.
My sister and I were having some issues that were making it difficult to even function physically. And we had a huge move to undertake! But with our bodies breaking down I didn't know if I had enough gas left in the tank. I was feeling desperate.
When a friend suggested community acupuncture I was leery at first. I tried acupuncture before. It had been expensive and I hadn't felt any improvement. But what is nice is that at Oasis the fees are on a sliding scale -you pay what you can starting from a base price

I come to this country to visit and see San Francisco. After walking a lot, I had back pain. Someone suggest I see acuputurist. So I search in area where I was staying and found one not too far. I didnt sleep night before and was able to get appointment for next morning.
Very happy I went for acu because that night I slept very well and also no back pain.
I thought needles would hurt but it didnt. I like his music. It made me relax and I slept for almost one hour in the clinic. David has some nice, comfortable recliners.
Now I know acu and happy it helped me.
David is good and knows his stuff

I was going to David's clinic for several years when ever I had any heath or emotional problems. It has been very effective treatments. I always gotten great results. I took my brother and my cousin there too. They also were very grateful. David is very professional . The price made it affordable for any budget. I strongly suggest him.

This is a little gem of a place. My parents were visiting from abroad and had a couple of ailments. The sliding scale of payment definitely helped them because they are retired and have limited income. They got some relief from their health issues which allowed them to enjoy their stay. Definitely recommend!

David is great! Super easy to work with and upfront about what may or may not work. I was recommended to go here for some chronic pain and anxiety. While I did do other things for the pain that probably helped too, I do feel like this was a big factor in relief! The anxiety I experienced was also greatly helped by knowing I had a place to go to if ever it got too bad. The facility is comfortable and he even offers blankets if you need it (though I usually preferred the coolness of the room)!! After a little over a month of treatments, with my conditions being pretty much gone, he said I could be

David is a godsend! He has helped me through sleeping issues, stress, jetlag, immunity, etc. Now my family also go to him for a variety of muscle and joint aches. Writing this review just made me realize my family is getting old with aches/pains making it really hard to ignore. David is just the expert to help us through all that ails us. Any pocket can be helped as he has a swing scale that truly does not compare to David's services.

David is really good. I regularly go to him and he is very patient and knowledgable. He is prompt and he will tell you directly, if something can be cured using acupuncture or not. I needed some help in managing pain and I was tired of trying various things. Acupuncture helped me a lot and now, I can say, I almost experience zero pain. He is very affordable too. I strongly recommend him, if anyone wants to try acupuncture.

David is a very skilled acupuncturist. I highly recommend Oasis. I have gone to see him for treatments for two separate issues and have been successfully healed. I first went for persistent neck and shoulder pains that had been going on for years. After about a month and a half of treatments the pain stopped coming back. I was so happy after 4+ years. More recently I went in because I was experiencing stomach issues, and was successfully treated after just 3 sessions. I feel fantastic now!
Community acupuncture takes place in a room with several other people, so it's more affordable and

I have been receiving treatments at Oasis for a couple of months with really good results. My fatigue issues have been greatly impacted and my pain reduced to the point that I am spending less time in my wheelchair. David is pleasant and has a fee structure which works for someone like me on limited disability income. I have wanted to do acupuncture for some time but could not afford what most practitioners charge. Acupuncture works best when treatment is frequent for acute problems and David's sliding scale allowed me to do just that. I recommend this practice to all my friends.

David is very knowledgeable and very thorough. I love the co-op approach- the price is very reasonable, and during my last visit I asked if we could switch gears and work on my miagraines. My jaw is very tight due to TMJ and after one treament my jaw relaxed by 75%. I am a firm believer that acupunture releases and helps flow the energy.
I am doing everything I can to live a pain free healthy life, and so greatful that David is helping me along my way.
Great Place a true diamond in the rough.

I came to Oasis in March 2012 after finally getting truly desperate about the pain, swelling and lack of range of motion I was experiencing in the wake of a total knee replacement that January. I had to be desperate because, like many people, I was fighting a pretty severe fear of needles. (Not many other people probably actively *bit* medical personnel who tried to give them shots when they were a kid, though.) David's calm, professional manner allowed me to not freak out over being a pincushion, and I actually managed to relax, even the first time, in the comfortable reclining chairs. Soothing

A friend of mine swore by accupuncture as a cure for insomnia after a great experience at community accupuncture in Santa Rosa. After trying what I considered everything else, I finally decided to give it a try, even though I''m terrified of needles, didn't 'beleive in' accupuncture, and, frankly, thought the idea of community accupuncture was a little weird. Oasis was the closest Community Accupuncture to me, so I made the trek from San Jose. David is a knowlegeable, professional accupuncturist who also happens to be a lovely person with a caring, reassuring demeanor. Oasis is very basic, but

The only reason this isn't getting 5 stars yet is because the treatment is still happening and I am not "completely" cured. (and I didn't expect to be, yet, given the condition and the pain I have been dealing with for years now, pre- and post-surgery) I came to Oasis after a total knee replacement in which I was having an abnormal amount of pain, swelling and lack of range of motion, despite PT and all that jazz. I also had a pathological fear of needles (this is someone who, as a child, used to *bite* medical personnel who tried to give me shots) So this was a big hurdle

I can't say enough about David and Oasis Acupuncture. He has been incredibly flexible with my schedule and really cares about how I'm doing. I've come to a point where I only need to go once every couple of weeks. My back has not been a problem for months now! Such a relief!

I have gone through 3 different acupuncturists to get to David. I went to one acupuncturist for my migraines and all he could talk about was his credentials. He would talk 70 percent of the time and treat 30%, plus his billing practices were questionable. The second guy I went to told me that

Accupuncture for me was a life saver!!! I totally recommend it and recommend Oasis Community!!!! Their prices I found to be very reasonable. It truly helped me with my pain and I can say that after 5 weeks of treatment, I'm in no pain. The suction cups which is a form of treatment given to me on my second day of treatment in addition to the needles is what really did the trick for me!!! We have to be patient and committed and realize that going 3 days a week is what it may take and that's what it took for me. The first day I went to David I was in extreme pain, I could not sit, lay

I am not sure what the previous poster was talking about. The acupuncture here was very good and relaxing. I have a neurological disorder, and I did not find the acupuncture helped me a lot, but that I am sure is not because of the acupuncture, it is because of what I have.
David was always concerned. There was never any pressure. In fact, the last week he actually gave me free, and then he told me he didn't think he would be able to help much after so many sessions instead of dragging it on.
The prices were also very reasonable compared to other acupuncturists. I would go back.

"Acupuncturists keep records of every appointment, names of patients, treatment dates, etc. There was no "Trina A." treated at Oasis CA the week prior to 11/25 for a headache.
