Verified patient
Very unprofessional experience compared to what I’m used to. Very unprofessional. Staff did not expect me. They spoke in their language the entire time. Acupuncture is supposed to be relaxing , but the staff was laughing right outside my door. No pictures, no music, just a blank room like you’re in time out. Will not be back

Verified patient
Loved it all. And the acupuncture helped
Verified patient
I cannot comment on the treatment because the doctor was running behind and was double booked. I was instructed to show up 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment and arrived before the doctor and staff. The doctor and staff showed up closer to 9am and the energy of the place was too chaotic for me for an early morning appointment. I asked the front desk person if the doctor had 2 9am appointments and she confirmed that there were several acupressure and 2 9am acupuncture appointments but that the doctor would see me and it would only take 7-10 minutes to install the needles. But this was my first appointment and it made more sense to me that the doctor would need more time to discuss and learn about why I was seeking treatment and that would take more than 7-10 minutes. And if it didn't, he wasn't the right doctor for me. I did not like the idea of being rushed through the process so I left and chose not to reschedule. I selected another provider instead.
I recently had an appointment at Dr Lu’s clinic and I must say, the service was beyond my expectations. Not only was Dr Lu highly experienced, making me feel at ease throughout the procedure, but the thoughtful touches added to the positive experience. Realizing I was hungry, the staff graciously offered me water and cereal bars to keep my energy levels up. This kind of attentive care truly sets them apart, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone considering acupuncture.
Verified patient

perfect
Verified patient
Dr. Lu is very knowledgeable and communicates that a layman could understand the information provided. I wish I knew how long the appointment would take, but it was relaxing. Some pain I've been experiencing for months straight is feeling so much better after one visit.
Nice

Highly professional
Verified patient
Dr. Lu is everything one could hope for in a doctor. He's patient, caring, and continually learning to stay current in the field. He's also exceptional at treating a variety of ailments. A wonderful doctor!
Overall, working with Dr. Lu has and will continue to be a wonderful experience. He is a very patient doctor who takes the time to discuss what is going on and what needs to be done. Only thing that I would ask is that is office be more direct in billing needs prior to all being done. That little fact does not take away from the overall experience and I would recommend Dr. Lu to others!
