I had decide to try Accupuncture again after many of years with traditional medicine to treat my pain issues. I went to Dr. Zhāng for some really sharp pain I was experiencing in my right hip area. I had gone to my regular doctor X-rays only showed arthritis. I was scheduled for physical therapy a month away and some high mg ibuprofen tabs, which did nothing for the really sharp pain I would experienced when getting up from a chair or bendin to tie my shoes. Dr. Zhāng using Cupping and Needles, resolved this. I walked out of the office pain-free. I highly recommend her and will return. More...

Dr. Zhang has been the answer to my prayers!She has gotten me results quickly and is such a sweet and kind human. She's incredibly knowledgeable and seems to just know everything that's going on as if reading a body is as simple as reading a book. Her office is very clean and comfortable and treatments are always calm and enjoyable.To speak on my situation specifically, I have a history with various birth control methods and when my copper IUD caused my period to completely stop, I didn't know what was going on or what to do. I had it removed but my period still didn't come back. I went almost a year with no period. Desperate to bring balance back to my life I started to look into natural solutions and found Dr. Zhang on Yelp. Within two months of seeing her, on a regime of twice daily herbal supplements and weekly acupuncture, my period returned! I have just finished my second period since beginning treatment with her and I plan to continue my weekly treatments and herbs until everything is back to complete normalcy. I am beyond thrilled that I am on the path back to my feminine harmony and that I am seeing clear results so quickly. More...

I have been seeing Dr. Zhang for a short period of time and she has helped me tremendously. My original visit was for help with severe hip pain. There was relief after my first appointment. By my third appointment I was pain free. During my last visit I mentioned my difficulty sleeping. Dr. Zhang added some needles to address this situation. For the first time in a very long time I have slept without taking sleeping meds. What a blessing! I highly recommend Dr. Zhang. More...

Dr Zhang is a healer. I have been dealing with various alignments for years, that I was told required either surgery or the use of steroids. I really didn't like either option so I sought out other options. I have heard about acupuncture and it's has always fascinated me. After extensive research of the process and my options in the area, I chose Dr. Zhang. She listens to your issue and guides you through a customized treatment specifically for you. In my case I had something that treated two issues simultaneously. Cool. I am sure it's different for everyone but I felt a change after my first treatment and my issues progressed with each treatment. I am about 90% healed from things that would not have been healed going the conventional route. Expensive surgery with sure to eventually come complications or steroids that have to increase in dosage to be effective in maintaining the symptoms but not actually healing you. No thank you. She is not Jesus so don't expect miracles but if to treat the root cause of your alignments good things are going to happen. You are gonna feel way better than the way you came in. More...

Dr Zhang is a miracle worker. I’ve been her patient for over a month and she has helped stabilized my migraines. I used to suffer from 8-10/10 daily, weekly migraines, now it’s down to 1-2 a week, and have decreased in severity. Another thing, I have been noticeably calmer, not as anxious when I’m at work or under stress. Dr Zhang immediately examined, diagnosed, and gave me a treatment plan. I’ve been seeing her religiously every week for acupuncture and cupping. Next visit, she will do some currents on me. I am so thankful for Dr Zhang, her bedside manner is excellent, explains everything and is very informative. So warm and welcoming. I always look forward to our visits and the relief. I highly recommend Dr Zhang for all your holistic needs. She has provided me with a topical migraine formula that takes out the tension. I love her use of essential oils, not just any essential oil, but Doterra. Acupuncture treatment isn’t a one time thing, but a system to treat the cause, I can’t explain it as well, but find the problem, treat the cause, of which part or organ that is affected. Find balance. You need to keep up with your appointments to see and feel the difference. Dr Zhang also has a monthly newsletter which is nice, since she cares about all her patients. More...

I’ve been using TCM for many years and I have to say that Dr. Zhang is the best practitioner I’ve come across! Not only is she knowledgable and friendly but her prices and the variety of treatments she provides are amazing.

I called her after finding her on yelp on a whim when I was desperate for some medicine to help with a nasty cough. She squeezed me in that day and provided me with the medicine I needed.

I've had chronic digestive issues for some time now and as a result, I've tried MANY acupuncturists over the years. Dr. Zhang is definitely one of the more skilled acupuncturists, and thankfully she also happens to be in network with my insurance. Unfortunately, no doctor (traditional or holistic/alternative) has been able to fully treat my condition, but Dr. Zhang helps ease some of the discomfort, especially when things are really severe. She also helps treat my pain at that dreaded time of the month. One thing to note is that it is a shared office space, so for the most part she is at her desk (in the same room) for the 30+ minutes you have the needles in, but she dims the lights and turns on instrumental music to help you relax. An added bonus is that you can easily communicate with her and schedule appointments through text. More...

I am 41 yo and suddenly I had numbness in my left arm and shortly after that I fainted and spent couple of days trying to figure it out what was wrong with me. Situation got little bit worse after I started to have problems with sleeping and shortness of breath. Every time I was falling asleep, I woke up due to my fast heart beat. This started to be scary for me after 3 days. I talked to one of my friend who had similar problem for about 2 years. He went to see multiple different specialist ( neurologist, etc) and to do different tests just to find nothing. I definitely didn't want to have that conditions for 2 years. I installed app on my phone called Pillow to measure my sleep. The results were horrible. I started to look for natural treatment and I knew TCM ( traditional Chinese medicine) has power and could help me. I found Dr. Zang. She gave me an acupuncture treatment and I got some powder ( combination of 3 herbs). The results came in right away. That night, I remember I woke up on fast heartbeat, but I was so relaxed, I didnt care. I was sleeping like a baby. Amazing, amazing, amazing... My results of sleeping on my app were excellent.Dr. Zang is amazing. She listens her patient and she helps. Thank you Dr. Zhang for everything, thank you that I can sleep again.

Finally, I found a great acupuncturist here. It was not easy search since I was treated by a really experienced acupuncturist back in China. I tried several acupuncturist before her and was very disappointed. I was referred to her by my friend due to very bad back, neck, and shoulder pain. At first treatment, I already got huge relieve from my pain. She combined four techniques in one treatment instead of just acupuncture and I got her undivided attention in the entire session! We are constantly communicating during the treatments so she can treat me even more effectively. I have been going to her in last 6 months at least one treatment per week. Now, with combined chiropractic treatments, I feel better than ever. I feel I am 10 years younger and more energetic than ever and no pain after working 8 hours. Thank you so much.

I decided to see Dr. Zhang after suffering from chronic and severe eczema for almost 2 years under a dermatologist’s care. Even though I was taking the strongest corticosteroid creams. my skin was not improving, just not getting worse. My forearms and my legs had severe dermatitis and was inflamed and very itchy. I was desperate and wanted to try another approach to help my skin heal since conventional medicine did not help (just more prescriptions that were not good for my body). With Dr. Zhang’s individualized treatment protocol, using acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and essential oils, I slowly started getting better. Along with a dermatologist-prescribed non corticosteroid cream, my forearms and legs started to become less inflamed and itchy. What I noticed was that my skin was getting more softer and less dry. Friends also commented on how good my face looked (I did not use any prescription meds on my face), so I know that was a direct result of Dr. Zhang’s treatment. For the first time in almost 2 years my skin is finally getting back to my normal. Dr. Zhang has also treated me on my lower back pain and it is also slowly getting better. I love her holistic and whole body approach. Thank you, Dr. Zhang! More...

I have done acupuncture before and honestly, her technique is flawless and completely pain free! Completing our session, she did a quick adjustment on my neck/upper back area to alleviate tension and pain.I felt amazing afterwards and came back for a second session and it did wonders.

Dr. Zhang is amazing! And knowledgeable!!! She puts her knowledge to work and creates magic healing:I've been dealing with a lot of different symptoms for years, and now before a recommended surgery for symptom relief, I decided to try TMC and stumbled across Dr. Zhang. Dr. Zhang was able to put all scattered symptoms in context to pretty much one root cause with her holistic approach and has been able to not only recognize, i.e. diagnose, but also treat me both with acupuncture and herbal remedies. Among my symptoms: high anxiety (incl. needle phobia, yes!), a recent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, fibroids/excessive bleeding with recommendation for hysterectomy, excessive fatigue/low energy and body pain, wide spread food sensitivities.I noticed improvement right after the first treatment. At this point, I'm ready for session #7. I tried acupuncture before, however, it didn't show such effect. It might be the timing, it might be the combination of herbs & acupuncture, it might be Dr. Zhang - maybe it's all of the above. No matter what, I'm happy and hopeful! More...
