I Love Lee Acupuncture!

I love Lee acupuncture! I tore my L5 and could not do any physical activities. I was having a hard time sitting, sleeping and standing. My doctor recommended acupuncture so I decided to give it a try. I CANNOT believe the mobility I have gained from just a couple sessions. I am back working out nearly daily! (3/8/2017 Yelp Review)

Lee Acupuncture Has Been A Life Saver.

Lee Acupuncture has been a life saver. I’ve had chronic knee pain and after just my first visit I had great relief. My overall well being has also improved since frequenting Lee Acupuncture. I also took some Chinese herbs for a week that were custom blended for my needs. They also offer massage services and Dayna was great!! Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff.

I Recommend Them To Anyone Who Needs Help In Their Daily Walk.

On April 4th of 2016 I hurt my back at work and have been out of work ever since. Ever aspect of my life has been affected by my injury. My first treatments was 24 chiropractic sessions that helped but I hit a plateau and needed different treatment. Next I went through 5 physical therapy sessions but due to the pain & lack of mobility I had to discontinue the treatments. At this point my doctor suggested acupuncture to try to bring the pain down to a tolerable level. I had never had acupuncture before but was willing to give it a try to hopefully move forward. When I started acupuncture treatments my pain was around a 7 and it has slowly come down to where it is now which is a 2 to a low 3. I have had 18 sessions with Dr. Weon & Dr. Nam and I am so thankful for them. My movement has improved and I no longer take prescribed pain medication. I am truly grateful to everyone at Lee Acupuncture that has helped me. Dr. Weon, Dr. Nam & Josephine have all been so wonderful to me. They truly care for me and love what they do. I recommend them to anyone who needs help in their daily walk. I know I will continue to visit them as long as they are here. (1/17/2017 Yelp Review)

Dr. Weon Lee And Dr. Nam Lee Are Truly Caring People

Dr. Weon Lee and Dr. Nam Lee are truly caring people. I have been going to this practice for almost a year and have never felt better physically, mentally and emotionally. I look forward to my discussions with Dr. Nam Lee as she is always checking in on me, and each time, I always learn a little bit more about my body functions and how to feel better. I feel truly cared for by this practice and highly recommend their treatments. (1/14/2017 Yelp Review)

This Facility Treats Its Patients With Respect And Concern And The Whole Staff Is Always Kind And Pleasant.

Dr. Lee truly cares about his patient’s well being and takes the time to understand each individual’s needs. When he places the needles he is so gentle that one can barely feel it. For any sensitive areas he always lets you know before hand to reduce any surprise sensations. In addition to acupuncture, Dr. Nam Lee also provides custom tea blends designed to complement the acupuncture treatment and outcome. Not to be left out, Josephine assists both doctors and often comes into the room at the end of the session to remove the needles. She has the most gentle way and there is never any pain. Top to bottom, this facility treats its patients with respect and concern and the whole staff is always kind and pleasant. Also, the are ALWAYS on time!! (11/22/2016 Yelp Review)

Highly Recommended!

After shoulder surgery, to repair a torn rotator cuff, I thought I’d try acupuncture as a means of pain management and physical therapy. I called and arranged a visit. After consulting my session began. I was able to move my arm 6 inches more than when I had come in. Being skeptical I arranged a second visit, checking my range of motion a few times before the session. After the session I had another few degrees of range. I’ve been going three times a week since, and have recommended a few other fellow shoulder post op friends, along with traditional physical therapy. Highly recommended! (10/3/2016 Yelp Review)

“I Would Recommend Everyone Having Pain Do See Them”

I had excruciating pain, could not sit, stand or sleep. I went to Hospital, got a steroid shot and all kinds of prednisone, cyclobenzaprine, naproxen, etc. It didn’t work. I also went to physical therapy. It didn’t work. I came to Lee Acupuncture. It wasn’t a miracle overnight but after a couple of treatments, I saw 80% improvement. I have less pain, am able to sit, stand, walk and sleep. I would recommend everyone having pain do see them. Thank you, Lee Acupuncture, both Dr. Lee & Lee!

Kind And Caring

A little over a year ago I was just about to start the IVF process, my husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for 3 years with no luck and this was our last option. We were willing to go anywhere and try anything to have the baby we so badly wanted. Our doctor told us the different things we could do that would help the IVF take. Acupuncture was one of them, however, I was skeptical at first. I don’t like needles but I was desperate. I called and made an appointment at Lee Acupuncture and I saw Catherine Lu. From the moment I saw her, she was kind and caring and made me feel at ease. To my surprise the treatment did not hurt at all and I always felt so good afterwards. I went a few times per week till implantation. A few weeks later I found I was pregnant with twins!!! I was beyond happy! It was my whole dreams come true! I continued to see Catherine till I was almost three months pregnant. I would have kept going but I moved… I gave birth a little early but my babies were healthy, happy and beautiful! I feel like I owe a great deal of this miracle to the love and care of the treatments I received from Lee Acupuncture. I am so very happy I took the chance and went through with the treatment! I have my babies and I have a bond with the doctor who helped me so much.

Learned So Much

Dear Dr. Nam Lee, We very much enjoyed the seminar you presented at Pitzer College on stress management. It was not only informative but very practical in how you taught the audience several ways to decrease stress at very moment it occurs. We’ve held a stress management course before that was delivered by our internal Employee Assistance Program but the material failed to connect with the staff members in attendance. I learned so much in your seminar about our bodies and different ways to combat stress both short and long term. I found the information regarding essential oils and homemade tea very interesting and would like to know more about it! Several other staff members felt the same and were so surprised at the many benefits that acupuncture offers. In addition, the lunch was lovely and a fantastic addition to the seminar. I look forward to having you back again soon for another lunch and learn!

Stress Free

As a full time student and part time employee, I was under constant stress. I would wake up every morning with a major headache and needed two cups of coffee just to get me going. I came in to Dr. Lee’s office in hopes that I could get rid of my headaches. What I received was far more than what I expected. I was kindly greeted by Dr. Weon Seob Lee and after our thorough consultation he made me feel extremely comfortable with the idea of needles being used to treat my headaches. (I am terrified of needles.) But as we began treatment, I felt really relaxed and barely felt the needles. He really is a great acupuncturist and you can tell he cares about his patients. After a few weeks of treatment, I noticed a change in my condition. I was sleeping through the night without any interruptions. I would wake up with no headaches and have since limited my coffee intake to one cup. I look forward to my acupuncture appointments because I know that I will receive the best care from Dr. Lee and I will walk out of there stress free. It has not only improved my mornings but my entire day because I am able to focus more on my tasks and not have a pounding in my head. I highly recommend anyone to try acupuncture, it really works!

Headaches Were Gone!

I see Dr. Lu twice a week for stress and fertility acupuncture. I used to take Excedrin almost every day for headaches. Within one treatment, my headaches were gone! I feel so relaxed and calm after my appointments and look forward to them. I’m so glad that I found Dr. Lu! (06/28/14 Yelp Review)

Unbelievable Experience

I came in to See Dr. Weon Seob Lee, Dr. Catherine Lu and Dr. Nam Lee for a back injury at work. My MRI shows sciatica with bulging disc on L4, L5 and S1, plus spinal epidurals. Medication after medication, I had enough! My side effects from all the steroids pain medication were sleeping all day, gaining 15, being off work for 2 months. I decided to ask for a different approach. I ask my orthopedic specialist to refer me to an acupuncturist even though it took a little convincing to do I finally got him to approve it. My first experience with acupuncture was amazing cupping!!! Waaaaooo it feels like someone vaccum the pain of my sciatica and lower back. I had this method done on me twice. Then the needle insertion (not scary at all), music in the background is so relaxing like at a yoga class. They offer you tea, or snacks, they let you rest after placement of the needles. After a few visits, I was released back to work because I finally can walk and drive with less pain. My on-going pain level went from 12 to 6! That’s a huge difference and no more medicine for me! The staff is caring, so sweet. They answer all your questions and concerns. They emailed you back within minutes. They have flexible schedule. If you have been suffering from any back problems, anxiety disorder, depression or insomnia, I urge to come see them. Trust me you will not regret it! HOLISTIC THERAPY CHANGES MY LIFE!!!

Lee Acupuncture Is Fabulous

Lee Acupuncture is fabulous. In a western medical world that subscribes to nothing but surgeries and drugs it is comforting to know that Lee offers a holistic approach that not only helps you physically but spiritually. The wonderful doctors and staff at Lee listen to you and give you hope. I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my outlook and I feel a sense of peace and balance after every treatment. I am a true proponent of acupuncture and when it is done with such expertise as offered by Lee Acupuncture it makes going there well worth your while. I would like to thank everyone at Lee for being so helpful and so kind. (06/26/2014 Yelp Review)

Has Changed My Life

Lee Acupuncture has changed my life. I went from being on the couch in extreme pain from head to toe, to having my life back. I had been going to my rheumatologist for a few months and was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Then she told me I might want to try Acupuncture. I had never ever thought about it, so I made an appointment. After one treatment I felt better, it was amazing to me! I went from taking pain meds every day to needing them once a while. To me acupuncture is much better than taking medication to get by and it is very relaxing. I tell everyone that is having any issue to at least give it a try!! (07/11/2014 Yelp Review)

Highly Recommended

I just came from Dr. Nam Lee’s office. She gave me a very lengthy in depth consultation. Just like in our meeting, she was very knowledgeable and I felt I was in good hands. Her full body approach includes acupuncture, diet, medical test, and easy fibro geared exercise. I highly recommend her if this is the approach you are seeking. She will individualize anything she does for you. Good luck!!! (06/26/15 Meet-up review)

Friendly & Comfy

I tweaked my back working out & immediately called because they were so close & they took me right away. The office is really small but it’s still nice: comfy couches, water, tea, snacks to enjoy for free. The staff was friendly and the woman giving me my massage was friendly and listened to what I needed specific work on. The 1 hour massage was amazing! I felt much better and would go back.

Staff Are So Great!

Dr.Lee and his staff are so great! They take the time to listen and are extremely thorough. I have been experiencing daily headaches, light headed, fatigue, and just overall not feeling myself the last couple of years. I bought a Groupon thinking ‘what do I have to lose by trying this place out?’ I am SO glad I tried it out, I’ve been for about 4-5 sessions so far with Dr. Lee and I feel so amazing. It’s like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! My headaches are gone, I’m sleeping incredibly well, my head feels clear and my body just feels so in tune and great.

The office is small, but has a great relaxing atmosphere. The staff & Dr.Lee are so friendly, they really know what they’re doing. I highly recommend Lee Acupuncture! (03/20/2016 Yelp Review)

Great Experience

My massage with Dayna was amazing!
I had a 60-minute therapeutic massage. Wow what a great experience. The massage was one of the best I have ever received, so relaxing. She concentrated on my favorite areas as requested while still being comprehensive. I will be recommending her to friends and family for sure. Thanks Dayna!! (03/22/2016 Yelp Review)
