If you have an unresolved health problem, consider acupuncture. Through at least 5000 years acupuncturists have successfully treated billions-literally billions-of Chinese people, including mighty Chinese emperors, for a wide variety of symptoms, conditions, injuries, and diseases. Now it's our turn to reap the benefits of acupuncture, the fastest-growing health care method in America, its phenomenal growth due primarily to word-of-mouth acclaim of satisfied patients.Though millions of Americans have already discovered this ancient healing art and rely on it for their health care needs, many persons in need of acupuncture stay away because its procedures and philosophy seem strange and mysterious.
We will file insurance claims on your behalf if your insurance plan covers acupuncture. We will do all the paper work and also follow up to make sure your claim goes through. It is your responsibility to pay for your treatment before you meet your deductibles, and any denied claims for your treatment.

I am a big believer in both Eastern and Western medicine. They both have there place in my overall wellness. A short story of how I found this place: I had reached my deductible for the year and the rest of my healthcare needs would be "free" until the end of this year. Woo hoo?! I then decided to see an acupuncturist because I wanted to address my recently broken toe and my long-lived IBS issues.
I had found Dr. Su via my insurance company website and cross-checked it with Yelp. Dr. Su's website is very knowledgeable and informative just like he is when you meet him. I have been coming to the office two times a week since mid-November and my IBS has been improving. I was recommended to take an herbal supplement for my IBS and has made a huge difference in my life.
A difference that not even western medicine has been able to make. My toe is also healing nicely. Overall, I highly recommend getting some needles into you and exploring Eastern medicine if you have not already.

I went to Dr. Su after trying everything I could (in traditional medicine) for a weakened immune system. I was getting sick every 4-6 weeks and couldn't seem to fight off anything that came my way. Since seeing him 3 months ago, I have not been sick once. I was somewhat of a skeptic but I didn't get this success from traditional medicine so am very grateful for Dr. Su.

I have to start off with DR. SU has made me feel 'not crazy' anymore! LOL 20 years of dealing with migraines and countless doctors who seemed puzzled by my triggers and walking out disappointed. HERE walks in Dr. Su who sits down with me and we talk! He mentions my triggers THAT I wasn't going to mention AND my jaw dropped.yes, I got teary eyed and hope he didn't noticed! HA He knows his stuff medically that was VERY obvious not just Acupuncture! He is concerned about your entire well being and health.kudos! I now question WHY didn't I consider this years ago!;o

Let me preface this with the fact that I went to this clinic for medical treatment, not some new age funky reason. I don't believe in that stuff. This place is a medical facility. Dr. Su is credentialed and trained with a real medical degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. He knows his stuff. From acupuncture to herbal medicine, he is spot on.
You can talk to him as a patient and he doesn't try to make the experience "weird" with aromatherapy, yoga or some other type of mumbo-jumbo. He knows his medicine and he knows acupuncture. For example, he prescribed an herbal medicine and I checked it out online it is exactly what is needed for my condition. As for the acupuncture, I was a huge sceptic.
I thought I'd try it and see. It works and I was pretty surprised that it did. After seeing him twice, my blood pressure decreased and my gym workouts show much lower heart rate levels for the same exercises I've been doing for years. If you're willing to try a new medical method, this is a great place. No pressure to schedule another appointment, no pressure to even go back. It's clearly your choice here.
I would go nowhere else and as much as I hate the needles, it is working much faster than I would have expected. It's supposed to take about 3 months but I'm seeing very positive results already. Give him a try!

I have had an excellent experience thus far with Dr. Su. I started acupuncture to help with my depression, for which I have tried almost everything else under the sun. I believe different therapies are appropriate and work for different people, but after trying many I went in this direction not wanting to go on meds and hoping for a different approach.
The acupuncture combined with herbs, has interestingly (as I wasn't sure if it would help for depression) aided in quite a shift mentally. Not feeling stoned or happy all the time which isn't natural, but just what I would say is a "normal baseline" to act off of verus the cloud of depression. Dr. Su was very friendly, attentive and answered and explained the therapy from the start, and continues to do so as we progress.
He also addressed other things as they've come up such as my neck and back pain. I would highly recommend him for acupuncture treatments and the Center, especially as an alternative to meds which are so dominant in our culture.

Dr. Su is an amazing man with a gift for treating others. I started seeing Dr. Su after having had knee surgery for IT Band. He has made such a positive impact on me since I started seeing him for Acupuncture. I have tried almost everything to rehabilitate my knee and I can honestly say Dr. Su has made the biggest difference. When I first met with him, he was very knowledgeable and asked lots of questions to get a clear picture of my medical history.
Upon meeting him, I felt extremely comfortable because he took the time to answer all my questions. When I had my first treatment and many treatments after, he always informs me of what he is planning to do. He is very gentle. He not only has helped me with my knee issues, but also some GI issues I have been addressing. He also helped me with herbs and all I can say is, he has truly been a blessing.
I will continue to see Dr. Su for whatever issues arise. Vanessa, his receptionist is always sweet and always takes the time to find the appropriate appointment time for my personal needs.

I've been to several acupuncturist over the years, but none have compared to Dr. Su! He is a very kind person and very knowledgeable on acupuncture and herbal treatments. He has private rooms for treatments, is very gentle and his office staff has always been nice. John has helped me manage my acid reflux and has made a BIG difference in my wife's asthma problems, something countless western doctors and prescriptions have failed to do. We love Dr. Su and will be patients for life!
