“I’ve being seeing Dr. Liu on and off for the past two years. She is extremely knowledgeable and so sweet! My last visit was to help start labor (as recommended by my OB at 38 weeks). I went into labor the day after seeing Dr. Liu for one appointment and delivered a healthy wonderful baby boy! ”

Dr. Liu is extremely professional and I am very happy with the treatments i have received so far. The office was very clean and sanitized. All needles are individually packaged and opened at moment of placement. Would highly recommend Dr. Liu for anyone interested in a holistic way for pain management.

I’ve been seeing Lucy every week for almost two years and have had such an amazing experience working with her. I came in because I was facing viral issues like chronic fatigue and brain fog after a bad case of mono, and other doctors said there was no treatment for these symptoms. After seeing her regularly, my symptoms improved tremendously and the herb supplements and weekly acupuncture sessions helped me feel healthier and stronger. Over time, she has treated me for different things, including muscle strains, digestion issues, skin problems, fatigue, and the list goes on. She takes the time to understand your current health status and any issues, and is extremely kind, a great listener, and very accommodating! She’s honestly my go to doctor that I trust the most. Her office staff Nayeli is also very kind, and overall the vibe of the office is very calming. :) I highly recommend booking a session with Lucy!

I have been impressed by Lucy's high quality care, very strong work ethic, and dedication to her craft. Working from home throughout the pandemic has caused intense neck strain, severely tight shoulder muscles, and regular migraines. I switched over to seeing Lucy because she has the warmth, compassion, and commitment to helping her patients.
Lucy's acupuncture services has alleviated my neck pain, loosened my shoulder muscles, and reduced my migraine frequency. Additionally, she has expertise in fertility-related acupuncture which I'm utilizing to prepare my body for egg freezing. You will find that Lucy is consistently patient, empathetic, caring, and responsible. Thank you so much!
October 19, 2021Michelle W.Verified patient
Lucy is amazing I have been going to her for the past few months & she has helped big time with my back, neck & shoulder issues. I recommend everyone to go to her. No wait time you are in & out with ease. She also has pillows for neck pain I use it & it has helped so much when I sleep. You won't be disappointed.

Dr. Lu is consistently compassionate and empathetic. I wish her offices were not so far from my home. She’s a great acupuncturist.
November 27, 2020Monique G.Verified patient
I appreciated that Dr. Liu took a lot of time at the beginning of the appointment to understand my circumstances and why I was interested in acupuncture. She's very knowledgeable and, as it was my first time doing acupuncture, I really appreciated the thorough review.
More than 1 year agoAshley K.Verified patient
I usually don’t like to give a rating after my first visit, especially on acupuncture treatments where results are not immediately visible. I have been seeing Dr. Liu for over a month now and since the 1st visit she was kind, professional and very knowledgeable. Bridging between western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine she has been such a great influence in my recovery and overall body/mind balance. I am looking forward to keep seeing her and I highly recommend her to anybody interested in learning more about TCM and healing their body (and mind) in more holistic way.
September 11, 2020Enes L.Verified patient
Lucy is an amazing, super competent and extremely caring acupuncturist. In the last 4 years, she has helped me with my herniated disc, TMJ, allergies, stress and now the latest is frozen shoulder. Each condition I had, she gave me relief and got me better. Currently, I have been going for physical therapy for my frozen shoulder but since I started seeing Lucy, I noticed that the pain was subsiding and my arm is much looser. Lucy gave me advice on what pillow to use, how to position my arm when I sleep, the layout of my workstation at home since I have been working remotely since the pandemic. She takes the time to understand your pain and she really cares about your wellbeing. Lucy has never failed me. In every condition I had, I got better with her help. I have recommended 4 of my friends to her and they all loved her too. I would not doubt her skill as an acupuncturist. I love Lucy!
August 22, 2020Cristi M.Verified patient
My left foot was consistently numb due to Multiple Sclerosis. Lucy was very patient and i did my part to be consistent with my weekly appointments. I am so grateful for the trust given and received as it was key to the journey of healing. My foot finally has feeling consistently and that made me more of a believer.
We are working on other symptoms now. Communication is so important and I’m glad I can vulnerably surrender and trust Lucy
More than 1 year agoSheree C.Verified patient
Dr. Liu is very experienced and educated about points in the body and how they connect to different ailments. She is gentle and listens well. The office is very clean and she makes sure the environment is relaxing during the session. I’ve seen significant results after only two sessions. Eastern medicine woohoo!
August 14, 2020Shanell E.Verified patient
I have been Lucy’s patient for over a year, she helped me recover from two serious illnesses. She succeeded where western medicine failed, and I am so grateful to her. She has a wide knowledge of Chinese medicine, and approches your health globally. I highly recommend her.

I have had untreated scoliosis from childhood. I used to regularly work out, which helped stabilize me, but since switching to a new job a few years ago, I had to change my routine. For the past 5 years, my scoliosis would cause back pain and tension along my entire back. I went to Lucy for my first acupuncture experience. She asked clear questions, responded without judgment, explained things patiently to me, gave suggestions to address a number of my issues, not just my back pain. I found the overall experience to be so positive and I will be returning for regular appointments.
