About 90% of acupuncturists in the USA insert acupuncture needles by placing them in a tube that is slightly shorter than the needle, and tapping it into the skin.
Dr. Lee is one of the 10% that will insert needles using just his hands, his skill has been built up over thousands of free-hand insertions giving him the ability to choose which depth to enter quickly, pin-point accuracy to avoid puncturing pores (which are very painful), and not scratching your skin with uncomfortable plastic tubes which are often not smooth.

I was in so much pain when I went to see Dr Lee.
I get this spasm in my lower back on my right side that can days to relax. This time was much worse than I had experienced in the past. Dr Lee saw me the same day and I was so grateful!
I felt about 10 percent better that day and 80 percent better the next day. After a few more days I was 100 percent. Thank you! Dr Lee

I have chronic pains in my left hip, computer neck, carpal tunnel to name a few issues. I always seek out a few different modalities to try and see which works for me. Generally, I've found all the acupuncturists I've been to helpful, but Dr. Lee is my favorite. He has a very calm, articulate way of explaining things to a layperson as well as a confident, intuitive touch that just makes you relax because you feel that you are in the hands of an expert. I also appreciate how he asks various questions to find out where the source of your pain is coming from and about your general overall

Dr. Lee did a great job treating my injuries. He is professional and spent a good amount of time assessing my needs before the treatment. He combines acupuncture with heat lamp, massage, and cupping and puts much effort to do what he can to optimize the effectiveness of the treatment. He is very knowledgeable and skillful, knowing exactly where to put the needles and cupping to help reduce the pain and strain in my neck and hip. I've also had wrist tendonitis for 10 years and he adjusted my wrist while using some herbal rub along with deep massage, which gave me so much relief! The environment

I highly recommend seeing Dr. Lee because he does free-hand acupuncture which is the way acupuncture is meant to be done. Recently I was diagnosed with a condition that can either be temporary or become chronic and due to that fear I developed anxiety. Through doing research I found out that acupuncture has helped those with my condition. When I first went to Dr. Lee’s I felt welcomed. His office suite is small which is good for it gives you peace of mind for he’s right outside the room when he steps out and even though you’ll always be in super close proximity to him he gives you a call

I can't say enough about Dr. Lee and what I have learned from him. He has brought so much healing to my body and mind. I was seeing him for health maintenance biweekly and feel like it made such a difference in my daily life especially when I was feeling low energy or I was stressed. It was not a smooth journey as healing is not linear. But the journey was worth it. I am very energetic and full of life right now. I am very grateful that I was able to release my grief as well. I have been healed emotionally, physically and mentally. I'd highly recommend Dr. Lee to everyone and their friends

Dr. Lee gets five stars because he truly deserves it. I would give him 10 stars if possible. He comes from a long line of eastern medicine practiced in his family. It runs in his blood.
He is a natural, understands what is needed and has great needle technique and combines all the different techniques with ease such as cupping, massage, scraping and electroacupuncture.
He is great for a first timer or someone who has been going for years to acupuncture
I highly recommend him to anyone in the Bay Area.

I've been seeing Dr. Lee for a few months now and am very impressed with his skill and knowledge, as well as his kind and gentle bedside manner. He has treated me for muscle inflammation, a bronchial virus, and general energy maintenance. I find his diagnosis and needle technique to be of a very high level. He is also excellent at cupping, massage, and my husband had electro-stim during his appointment and said it was excellent. Dr. Lee is great at explaining what he's doing so that I can understand, and I always leave the office feeling empowered to take better care of myself. The office

I went in for relief of my TMJ, tension and tension headaches. Dr. lee was able to schedule me same day I incquired. It’s a very clean and professional setting with the smell of aroma therapy. I was nervous as I’d never had acupuncture, Dr. lee was reassuring and made me feel confident in his skills and explained the process. I felt almost immediately relieved from the tension in my head and jaw. You barely feel the needles. I highly recommend his services as an alternative treatment to medicine. I will be going back for more sessions without a doubt.

When you meet Andrew, it is clear that this is a confident practitioner. His dedication and devotion to studying Chinese Medicine are evident. As someone who has gotten many treatments from many different acupuncturists, I'm still a little nervous when someone places needles in me. Not to worry about him though! He really has the technique down...painless, quick, and effective. I recommend him highly. Prices are affordable and there are discounts for packages. The space is clean and professional. Go see him soon!

I was having neck pain due to a knot in my shoulder and my brother had recommended acupuncture; said it had really helped him to heal faster when it had happened to him. Boy was he right, Dr. Lee did some massaging/cupping and then finished off with his acupuncture needles. The very next day I felt much improvement after having a week of excruciating pain. Was my first time giving acupuncture a try and will not be my last Dr. Lee does a great job, and thank you again.

If you are looking for a painless, but extremely effective treatment I would highly recommend Dr.Lee's Clinic. The clinic was newly opened, really clean with beautiful decorations and useful tech. It was really easy to communicate with Dr.Lee, he guides you through the whole process.
When I first got the treatment, I was a little nervous. However, his free-hand technique remarkably fast and the heated lamp made it even more comfortable. I would totally come back again.

I been doing martial arts for years, and often get banged up either in matches or during practice and training. I come to see Dr. Lee for joint pain and muscle pain from time to time and to help focus my mind before any fights. His technique is traditional without any tube which I like. I also like how he will open before or after hours if you really don't have the time during regular hours. The parking lot is huge.

Dr. Lee is an incredible practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine and an amazing "needler". His free-hand technique is smooth, direct, & painless. The "de-qi" sensation was prompt showing the accuracy of the point location. This is a unique sensation used to described a light dullness, heaviness, or numbness when the needle is placed into the "correct" acupuncture point. From this sensation, we know that the body has responded well to the needles, therefore, the treatment will yield good results. Few Acupuncturist obtain this sensation in their practice.

Dr. Lee is very professional and smart. I've asked him many questions and he remembers and quotes Chinese classics as far as advice and suggestions. He answered all my questions and made me feel cared for and hopeful. Easy parking, beautiful office, and very gentle and competent in his acupuncture. I highly recommend Dr. Lee to someone wanting authentic traditional Chinese medicine. Check out his website, it's worth your time.

Dr. Lee is highly knowledgable and skilled with the needle. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for acupuncture for a painless experience.
I use to have terrible sleep apnea and would wake up with terrible headaches and low energy in the morning until I saw Dr. Lee for acupuncture. Ever since, I have had far less headaches and feel much better in the morning.
I'll definitely be coming back here again!

To start off, there was a little miscommunication in regards to my insurance coverage with acupuncture, but Dr. Lee was able to figure it all out and make sure that I would pay a minimal amount. Parking here is very easy and accessible and most importantly it is free. The outside of the office building isn’t the most appealing but remember you are here to get acupuncture, not be an exterior design artist. This was my first time getting acupuncture and I will say that I will be coming back for plenty of more rounds. Dr. Lee is knowledgeable and has great bed side manners. He targeted my main areas
