“I had been dealing with lower back pain for several weeks, and it gradually got to the point where even sitting at my desk became uncomfortable and distracting throughout the day. It was starting to affect not just my work, but my overall quality of life.
After just a couple of visits with Dr. Lee, I could already feel a noticeable improvement. With each session, the pain continued to decrease, and my mobility improved.
Now, I feel lighter, more flexible, and much more at ease during my daily activities. I’m finally able to get through my day without constant discomfort, which has made a huge difference. I truly appreciate the care and attention I received and would highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone dealing with similar issues.”

“I came to see Dr Lee for gastritis and gut issue. I tried medication before and it only made my symptoms worse, so I wanted to give acupuncture a try. I am so happy that I did. Immediately after the first session, I did not have pain for a day, which was a great surprise. I continued my treatments twice a week as instructed by the office and after 10 sessions, I do not feel pain or discomfort any more. I would recommend anyone with gut/digestive issues to try DH acupuncture.”

I had very bad shoulder and back pains for years and tried different acupuncture in the city. DH acupuncture is my favorite! They care about their patients and are willing to help. Dr Lee is very knowledgeable and good at what he is doing. Dr Lee addresses different issues at the same time without charging for 2 sessions, which I really appreciate

I’ve been coming here for several years for chiropractic care, acupuncture, and physical therapy, and I can honestly say they have changed my quality of life. Every time I’m in pain, they help me get relief and keep me feeling healthy. The care is consistent, thoughtful, and truly personalized. What really sets this place apart is how welcoming they are. I feel like family when I walk through the door. I’m so grateful to have found a team I trust so much!

My visits have been very beneficial. I did 6 sessions and have definitely seen improvement in my symptoms. The doctor listened to my complaints about my leg and foot pain and was able to address the tightness in my legs and my foot pain. I definitely recommend DH Acupuncture!

I came to DH Acupuncture for post concussion headaches. I don’t want to rely on medication for the frequent headaches. I’ve been treated twice a week since March and my headaches have reduced significantly, from every few days to once a month. The scalp numbness is almost gone too. I recommend anyone with headaches to try this natural treatment.

I have been getting acupuncture treatment for numbness in my feet from Dr. Lee for several months now. The sensitivity has come back pretty much to normal. I was told it would take some time. Dr. Lee came very highly recommended by a friend, who was absolutely right. I should also mention that everyone there is very helpful and pleasant, and great detail is paid to cleanliness.

Dr. Lee is thorough, listening to my concerns about soreness and tightness, even stress, and he uses acupuncture to treat these symptoms on the front & back of body. He is an expert in his profession and clearly understands the meridians and how one part of the body is connected to other parts. I feel wonderful after every treatment.

Fantastic! My body pains are gone. I have had tight neck & shoulders, bad joints, and Dr. Lee was able to get to my pain in just a few visits.

I had a frozen shoulder all of a sudden. The pain limited my daily life. I came to the office not being able to brush my teeth, raise my arm, couldn’t sleep due to the pain. Dr. Lee asked me to get acupuncture everyday. After 5 sessions, I regained my mobility and am able to live a normal life. Still can’t raise my arm as high as before, but I’m confident I’ll get back to normal in another few sessions.

I highly recommend Dr. Lee for any pain-related symptoms. I’ve been seeing him for different issues — headaches, lower back pain, neck pain, etc. He is a miracle worker. I will come back again for any issue in the future.

This practice is excellent from start to finish. The office is clean, calm, and well run, and the staff is kind and professional. Appointments are on time, and the overall experience feels easy and stress free.
Dr Lee may be quiet, but his work speaks for itself. He’s clearly very skilled and focused, and the results from treatment are real. I’ve seen noticeable improvements and feel (and sleep!) better after each visit. There’s a lot of trust that comes from seeing things actually work.
If you’re looking for effective acupuncture in a well cared for office, I would absolutely recommend this practice.
