Dr Liu is an amazing doctor. He always is up to date with new findings and teaches me about how the body works. I left felling refreshed today, highly recommend~

I found a great doctor who takes our insurance for acupuncture and medical massage.
The session includes a focused medical massage and acupuncture, and it is really effective for the body pain that comes from stress, overwork and injuries.
I was so impressed the way my pain has gone away. I had whiplash from a car accident and PT was not helping me to gain strength in my mobility from my neck, shoulders and upper back. I’m so thankful to have come to visit Dr. Liu.. I definitely recommend you to come here first before going to have any procedure or surgery done for pain.
He is attentive, listens and explains what’s going on with your body. Greatly appreciate it!

Dr. Liu was wonderful! Very attentive and knowledgable. I decided to start acupuncture to help manage my stress levels, and to help alleviate the tension I carry on my traps and shoulders. As an nurse, I spend my days taking care of others, and it's important I also create time for myself. & I get to do just that with Dr. Liu! He explained the process through out the session, and he answered all my questions. I immediately felt relief after my first session. I already came back for my second session and plan to continue seeing Dr. Liu! 10/10 recommend.

I am so glad I came, I threw out my back, got a medical massage here, and was able to shovel the following day . Thank you so much!

Dr Liu is simply the best. so grateful I found this doctor. He really listens and treats me like a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. After seeing him, I felt eons better, like my body could finally relax instead of fighting itself. It’s rare to find someone who combines real knowledge with genuine care, and I always leave feeling hopeful and understood. I’m honestly so glad he’s part of my healing journey.

This doctor has a calm, steady precense. He listens with real patience, and tells these thoughtful little tales that somehow make the science feel human, and the whole visit ends up feeling strangely comforting. Honestly, it’s just a good experience from start to finish.

Dr Liu was very attentive and notified me that both side of my lower back were tight, despite me not even realizing it.
After the massage and needles he assessed it and I could tell after one session I regained some flexibility back!
Highly recommend
