Verified patient
Professional, friendly, and an expert at what she does. I’ve seen a vast improvement in a chronic neck injury and look forward to our visits because I always feel better afterward and she’s so friendly.
Dr. Shang was very pushy and unprofessional. She didn't respect me as a patient and wasn't interested in my health. She pestered me several times to make me book my next appointment before I left. Her acupuncture was rushed and unsanitary (did not wipe my skin with alcohol after removing the needles, did not wear gloves). I do not trust her as an ethical and professional acupuncturist.
I was able to book an appointment that was on a day and time that I desired I I found their front desk admin named Victoria was very knowledgeable about my insurance and helped me through the paperwork. The doctor listened and quickly addressed the problems that I had and was able to help me feel immediately better by the time I left and I will be returning highly recommend

Very good !
Dr. Shang was amazing. Acupuncture helped with the sciatica pain and then physical therapy and finally cupping. The office was very friendly and clean and Dr. Shang is very kind and knowledgeable. I would recommend to anyone who is interested in acupuncture.
Verified patient
Xiaoling Shang is professional and extremely helpful in diagnosing and pinpointing the pain I have been suffering. The acupuncture treatment seemed to alleviate some of the pain.
Verified patient
The lady at the front desk was very polite. The office was accommodating to my schedule and the Doctor did amazing. He knew exactly where the problem areas were. I 100% am coming back
Verified patient
Staff was knowledgeable and helpful. Treatment was thorough and what I needed. They were clear with me about what my copay covered. I've already scheduled my next appointment; I'm looking forward to working with them on my health and wellness.
Incredible acupuncture and cupping, always! She's helped me with my neck, hip and knee pain at different points over the years and I always feel better after a few sessions. Vast knowledge of TCM practices-- would highly recommend to anyone.
Verified patient
Dr. Shang has cured a very difficult and challenging sinus infection of my 8 year old daughter. Her bed side manned is incredible and very very gentle and patient with the little ones.
Verified patient
She is very knowledgeable and took a lot of time to explain my treatment. She has a very caring and professional manner and I believe from how she assessed my condition that she knows how to help me.
Verified patient
She seemed very rushed and didn't take time to really listen to me. Although my insurance covers acupuncture, I felt she kept pushing me to pay for PT and other add-ons that weren't covered by insurance even though I mentioned several times that I didn't need that. During one visit, she told me I was done and left the room. As I was dressing, I noticed that she left 2 needles in my back. I had to alert the front desk (with my shirt off) and the receptionist came into the room and pulled them out. Very unprofessional all-around, not to mention the rooms and equipment seemed dirty.
I started seeing Dr Shang in 2018, as I have problems with my sinus and my allergies were acute. I used to suffer from allergies episodes on a weekly basis. Dr Shang was very thorough and kind with me, always fit me in when it was a bad episode. After staying consistent with Accupuncture and DDS treatments for what I would say 40 sessions in total, I can confidently say that I feel cured and no longer have frequent allergy episodes. During 2019 I only got slight discomfort at the change of each season, so in total 4 times a year as opposed to weekly. I am so happy I came across Dr Shang and that she was adamant to cure my allergies regardless of how tough my case was. I’ve been suffering from my sinus for about a decade before seeing Dr Shang. I appreciate Dr Shang for her commitment, knowledge and kindness always.

I came with a severe total body spasm that developed due to 5 year old spinal injury. Dr. Shangs diagnosis and treatment, stopped spasms fully after one visit. She is a life saver!
I have already recommended her to everyone I know. She is amazing! Explains everything and makes sure you’re comfortable. The office atmosphere is very zen as well.
Verified patient
I went to her for treatment for my first time with Acupuncture and safe to say, I am very impressed. She knew a lot about her field and was able to effectively explain to me what was going on. She is very knowledgeable with her methods and they work like a charm! I immediately booked a follow up appointment the next week because the effects of her treatment were noticeable and apparent. Highly recommend! I think her style of Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine should go hand in hand.
Verified patient
I have seen her for acupuncture several times, and I've always had an extremely positive experience. Her bedside manner is excellent, and she always makes me feel at ease with the whole process. I also appreciate that she has specific recommendations for me based on my symptoms each time I go. I'd highly recommend her - it's a great practice!
Verified patient
So far so good. I’ve only gone two times in hopes to help with my Hashimoto Disease. But they are very nice and the wait is never more than 10 mins. I will update this review on any progress in about a month.
I have chronic shoulder pain and tennis elbow for the past yeas. I am truly grateful how much Dr. Shang has helped me . Just a few treatments, my pain has disappeared. I love the staffs as well, and gladly to come back for my next visit.
Verified patient
There's a soothing atmosphere once you step through the doors. I got a treatment from Shang and loved it. She's really intelligent and well-versed in her field of acupuncture and herbs.
Verified patient
4 years ago I had breast cancer and I chose to treat myself with natural treatments. Dr Shang was referred by a friend and besides Acunpuncture she gave me herbs and a Chinese stick to use on my breast and in 8 months I was in remission. She is a very knowledgeable doctor and she is treats her patients with love and care. I recommend her and I trust her with my heart.
Verified patient
Super friendly staff and excellent service. I was made to feel so comfortable, explained to clearly what I would experience. After one visit my symptoms changed. Shang is one of the best in her field.
Verified patient
I have visited Dr. Shang many times, for issues ranging from digestive problems to musculoskeletal pains. She has always been a great help in my speedy recovery. She has a very healing touch, and employs various Eastern techniques. She also has a deep knowledge of herbal remedies which I prefer to any pharmaceuticals. I am grateful!
Verified patient
I booked appointment for my husband for pre diabetes. Doctor thoroughly assessed him and explained the causes why his sugar levels were fluctuating. Then she treated him with needles covering different organs explaining it’s impact on blood sugars. She kept needles for about 30 to 40 mins. My husband felt very relaxed and hoping that her treatment would help him in long run. Definitely looking forward for future sessions with her.
Verified patient
I went for hypothyroidism. She did needles for my neck. Within few sessions my neck shrinked down and lost about 4 pounds. After few weeks my TSH levels also went down. I am glad I took her treatment. Definitely recommended for hormonal imbalances.
Verified patient
Excellent results for tendinitis in my shoulder. After 1 acupuncture session with cupping, I was able to raise my arm again and the pain was gone. I highly recommend Dr. Shang!
Verified patient
Went there since it is close to home. I was in excruciating pain from sciatica and I was very nervous about treatment. Dr. Shang was very patient and professional with me. I did see noticeable results after the first session. I was able to walk straight and walked home from there after arriving in a taxi!
Verified patient
If you want a nice relaxing place to get acupuncture her office isn’t it. It’s more of a physical therapy practice which is fine, but not what I was looking for and the acupuncture was pretty unsatisfying. The medical massage was pretty good though.
Verified patient
First off, the front desk was a mess. It was very disorganized. One of the girls at the desk was always very frantic, and spoke way too fast. She really needed to take a second to slow down to properly explain things to patients upon arrival. And secondly, Dr. Shang appears to be overbooked as she had to step out of the room twice to wrap up other acupuncture sessions that were already in place. It was kinda difficult to relax when the walls are quite thin. Unfortunately my insurance doesn’t cover acupuncture and paying out of pocket for the service is out of my budget. I may have to try other alternatives, perhaps Groupon.
Verified patient
Great place! Clean, comfortable, friendly. Doctor is amazing!! My shoulder was in so much pain. Found this place from my friend. She listened patiently to my ailments and recommended a treatment plan. It's a bit sore after treatment but a million times better. Strongly recommend!!!
Verified patient
Shang is an outstanding acupuncturist. She was patient and took time to explain the procedure and it's effects. Since receiving the treatment today the excruciating pain I was feeling has almost totally subsided.
Verified patient
I have seen Dr. Shang for a month due to my irregular menstrual cycles. Dr. Shang treated me by acupuncture and chinese medicine. I got improved this month and I will definitely keep seeing her.
Verified patient
Dr. Shang saw my tongue and knew my main problems at the first appointment. I didn't believe Chinese medicine before, but now I trust it will help me improve my indigestion. Acupuncture is also not that terrible and I feel comfortable during the treatment.
Verified patient
Fantastic. Clean offices, sweet and knowledgeable staff. I was skeptical at first but I felt good after my appointment. Will definitely be coming back.
Verified patient
Dr. Shang and the other practitioners in her business have been treating me twice a week for a month now. My neck and shoulder pain are still a problem for me but the treatments give me hope that I will some day be out of pain. I am pleased so far.
Verified patient
I really like how Dr. Shang treats patients! She's really professional and gentle. She uses tiny needles on my face to solve the acne problems. The treatment lasts about 20 minutes. I feel relaxed and comfortable. Will definitely come back again!
Verified patient
Dr. Shang is the best acupuncturist I’ve ever been to. I love that she treats my body as a whole and goes to the root of my issues. You can tell she really knows her stuff. I recommend doing physical therapy along with the acupuncture, I always leave her office feeling great. I’m very happy I’ve found her, I’m so happy that I want my husband, my friends, everybody I know to go get a treatment with her. Haha
