As a registered nurse, I had used all that Western medicine could offer me for management of a variety of symptoms from late Lyme disease including tachycardia, neuropathy (shin numbness and hot feet), fatigue, and nausea. Despite medications, my symptoms persisted prompting me to seek consultation with Dr. Shi at the East Yale Loop location. Dr. Shi is so incredibly knowledgeable and skilled- I am so very glad to add him to my healthcare team.
Within a few appointments, I regained sensation in my shin and after several appointments, my hot feet dramatically improved. Not only am I almost off my nerve medication, but I can also wear socks and closed shoes! Anytime I've been nauseous, all I need to feel better is one simple needle. We continue to work on my tachycardia, which I recently discovered is related to mold exposure.
I'm confident once I've had my mold remediated, that my tachycardia will improve with Dr. Shi's amazing care! I highly recommend and am grateful to Dr. Shi and Dragon Acupuncture!

I had numbness on my left shoulder/arm during pregnancy (having to sleep on one side) and it worsen after I gave birth. It was difficult to hold my baby at times bc the tingling sensation was intense. I went to Dr. Shi for a few sessions and he was able to alleviate the numbness. Thank you, Dr. Shi! I highly recommend this place!

Using the VA Healthcare systems "Community Care Program, " I was offered an appointment at Dragon Acupuncture in Irvine and I couldn't be happier! Dr. Shi Rocks! He is compassionate, knowledgeable, and a master Acupuncturist; if that's a thing! I see him for chronic pain and I can't recommend him enough. Veterans and Active Duty, if you are in a position where you can request community care for pain management, please consider making your appointment at Dragon Acupuncture. You will not be disappointed!

After a severe shoulder injury, we were sure surgery was the only option to relieve the pain. After only 1 treatment, he was in tears of relief that only continued through our other visits. Dr. Shi have hope when there was none and relief when we thought it wasn't possible. I would recommend this office to everyone.

A true healer and exceptionally skilled practitioner. My wife and I have been clients of Dr Shi at Dragon Acupuncture for six years. His techniques and talent have allowed us to avoid trips to the Emergency Room on several occasions where I believe that we would have only been given high dose pain medication and a referral to a physical therapist. Chronic conditions or acute injuries are treated with the intention of creating a rapid and and long lasting solution. Compassionate care with a holistic approach to your health and well being.

Dr Zhao has been treating me for the past week and already I feel so much better. I haven't had a migraine in three day which isn't the norm for me. I also had back pain for the last 10 days and the lower back is now pain free. My shoulder blade is still causing me trouble but getting better. I would highly recommend seeing Dr Zhao.

I suffered from acute insomnia for the past two weeks. Even prescribed sleeping pills did not help me. I felt so hopeless and decided to try acupuncture. After the 1st treatment from Dr. Min Shi, I got 5 hours of sleep. After the 2nd treatment, I had a full night of sleep! I am so grateful to Dr. Shi!

I walked into my appointment with Dr Shi experiencing 6/15 knee pain and can not walk. After I talked about with Dr Shi. I found he is super professional, knowledgeable and caring. After treatment (acupuncture, massage) When I stand up I found I can walk as normal. When I checked out I found their prices to be very reasonable, and I highly recommend Dr. Shi and Dragon Acupuncture. Save yourself time and your money, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend.
