Shanna Chen

Love her!!! She is the best! I had lower back problems for years and spent a lot of $$$ going to DR’s and nithing. I gave accupunture a try and omg! I have never felt better! This was 5yrs ago and havent had any problems ever since!!! I love her!

I had a really bad case of sciatica.
My Dr. Just wanted to give me pain pills and epidural shots.
Fortunately, I found Dr. Chen.
She knows things just by looking at me.
She explains everything she is doing and why.
A welcome relief from the medical world.
After 12 visits I am 85% improved.
She promised I would be ok for my New York trip and she’s right.
I’ll continue to see her for general well being.
Can’t wait to see what else she can help me with.
Thanks to Mae for making me feel comfortable.

Insurance/​Billing:
Though my knee did feel better after treatments, I have to say the billing department or person named Tiffany dealing with insurance was horrible that I would not go here specifically for this. I would recommend you get a receipt for each treatment especially if your a cash patient. I had paid cash and they had said they would call me once they billed my insurance as their billing person (Tiffany was not there). I never received a call until I followed up with the insurance and they said they did in fact pay the office. I really think they thought I would forget or something. I had to call them myself, and only then did they reimburse me and they were being weird about the copay. For this reason alone, I would not recommend her office. I rather just go to someone who can bill right then and there and not go through this hassle.
Office/​Service:
In regards to the service and establishment, I thought it could be a bit more tidy and clean and just more nice in regards to the set up. I felt the beds looked used like they were picked up from a lawn about to be thrown away in a dumpster (I know I’m mean but it’s true! (–_​-​). I also felt each time I went I was rushed. Dr. Chen sees maybe up to 5 or 6 patients at a time and so you just really feel like another number.
Parking:
This parking lot is located right next to Kennedy High School so it is quite busy, you may get lucky finding a spot but if not you may have to park near Taco Bell and walk down.
Lasting thoughts:
All in all, I really did find relief with accupuncture with Dr. Chen, but if you don’t want the hassle with insurance and such, and you are okay with paying cash, then I guess it is okay. I was not impressed with how they handled my situation nor the set up of the place.

I have been a patient of Dr Chen for 1 year. After receiving a liver transplant in 2012, my recovery has greatly accelerated with her therapy & treatment. Shout out to Mae, the yin to Dr Chens yang. You do not have to understand how accupuncture works, just believe it will. THANXX DR CHEN!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Chen’s for 7 years. I’m able to stay healthy in mind and body I believe, because of her deep knowledge and dedication. Dr. Chen treats my entire family and I strongly recommend that you see her as well. If you are having a problem that is not being adequately resolved by conventional medical treatment, visit Dr. Chen. She gets results!

It was my first time going to acupuncture so I was a bit nervous. I was already uncomfortable due to the pain having Dx: Bells Palsy a 3 days ago. Shanna Chen was cordial and explained what to expect, her english is a bit hard to understand but she spoke slowly. The treatment lasted apx 20 minutes, the room setting could have been decorated with warm colors, bright lights should have been dimmed, as I laid on the bed, my ailment made me sensitive to light. Perhaps candles or even soft music to get you to relax. Shanna Chen’s insertion of the needles was painless except for one that hit a nerve so she pulled it out when I winced & felt throbbing. I gave them 3 stars, her chinese assistant (short hair with glasses) removed the needles which she was a bit aggressive, I think she was in a hurry not even smiling and asked how I was feeling. She pulled a bit hard and I had tiny bleeding on my face and on my hand. Once I was ready to leave, I put on my hat and I poked my finger with a needle, she forgot to take one needle out of my head! ! I got bruised and needle bleeding from my face and hand. I think Shanna Chen was a nice lady but the overall experience I received as a first time patient in her office was far short of what the other reviews I read. I’ll continue going to a different acupuncture and compare.

Dr. Chen is a little power house! I’ve been a patient for years. She has helped me with my pregnancies, acne, sciatica, and much more. Love her and recommend you try her if you are looking for an acupuncturist who KNOWS her stuff!

I highly recommend Dr. Chen, she is professional and is truly there for the patient. I was working a highly stressful job and had tension in my shoulders and upper back from the stress. Massages seemed to only help for a few days before my shoulders would once again tense up. So I did a little research and found Dr. Chen. She has over 25 years experience in both China and in the U.S., so I thought I would give it a shot. I was a little hesitant because I thought the needles might be a little painful, but you don’t even feel them. After about 3 – 4 weeks of sessions, I started to notice a big difference and knew then I had made the right decision. One visit I had walked in with shorts and Dr. Chen noticed my legs had spots similar to dark freckles. I had told her I went to a dermatologist and I was advised it was Iron deposits from standing and sitting long hours from both of my jobs. The dermatologist said there wasn’t much they can do besides give me some cream and hopefully they would go away. Dr. Chen disagreed and said it was from bad circulation. A couple months later the spots are slowly disappearing. Its VERY hard to find a Dr. that listens to their patient’s, Dr Chen is truly a blessing to this profession and I always look forward to my visits there. They also have Chinese herbal medicine that can be taken for certain ailments along with the treatments. I have recommended a couple of my co-​workers and they are highly satisfied with her. They do take insurance and are also open on Saturday’s.

Dr. Chen is awesome. She is patient, kind, and affordable. She wants to heal you and is considerate of tough times and no insurance. She has years of experience. Understands plantar fasciitis. Love this woman and her gift…

Dr. Chen is AMAZING! She is thorough and patient and takes her time to listen to your concerns. She tailors her treatments to your specific needs and asks relevant questions. She also EXPLAINS what she is doing and why she is doing it. She also offers herbs at a very reasonable price that work together with acupuncture to provide fast results.
She treats mood disorders, skin conditions, fertility, pain, migraines and much more.
Initial sessions are $ 70 and $ 60 thereafter. She also accepts insurance and will contact your insurance company for coverage benefits.
Front desk ladies are also very kind and helpful.
HIGHLY Recommended.
