Annie Wang Acupuncture

Annie Wang Acupuncture has helped me with health-​related symptoms of fatigue, migraine, and nausea only after a few months of going. Annie is very helpful and patient with figuring out what works best with her patients. I have seen Ayoung as well, who has been just as great!
Especially with my battle of chronic fatigue, I thought I would have to live with the pain of constant exhaustion forever, but with a few months of appointments to see Annie/​Ayoung, I am able to go a full day without needing a nap or two (which is a HUGE step in the right direction). I used to be a bit nervous about the appointments but now I look forward to them! I was also recommended some essential oils to help and this aided in my wellness too.
There are so many wonderful things I could say about the effects of Acupuncture and this establishments’ approach to treatment! I would highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking out relaxation methods or who is dealing with health problems of their own.

If I could give Annie Wang Acupuncture and Annie Wang herself 10 stars, I would — well, if I could give her hundred stars, I would too!
There are so many great things to say about Annie Wang Acupuncture and about Annie, it’s hard to decide where to start. The most important factor for me in assessing medical/​health establishment is the result of their treatment — and Annie absolutely shines in this regard. I have been treated by Annie for the last year and a half, and the results of her treatment have been beyond excellent. Annie possesses outstanding and profound expertise in acupuncture and many other aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as unique and widely and deeply ranging experience in treating various aspects of female reproductive system.
In addition to Annie’s outstanding expertise and experience, she excels in making her business customer-​focused, customer-​friendly, and customer-​oriented. The atmosphere at Annie Wang Acupuncture is warm and welcoming, relaxing and friendly. The administrative aspects of the business all work like clockwork — appointments take place on time, there is an online system for booking that makes scheduling and rescheduling very easy and convenient, and everybody working at AWA are so very pleasant and nice and helpful.
And last but not least, Annie Wang is not only an exceptionally talented and experienced acupuncturist and healer and not only an excellent business owner, she is a wonderful person — warm, compassionate, sympathetic, with a great sense of humor, light touch, and kind heart.

Annie Want Acupuncture is a wonderful place to get acupuncture treatments. I have seen Annie for over 5 years, and I always leave feeling better:)

This is my second followup review for Annie Wang acupuncture. I have been seeing Annie for almost exact one year, and wow it has been such an amazing experience! I went to Annie first because of my back pain, which had been bothering me for years. A few sessions by Annie got me pain free and back to my yoga and running routines. I continued to see her every week after I found out that I was pregnant. She helped me with morning sickness and fatigue, and allowed me to practice yoga without back issues throughout the entire pregnancy (I stopped one week before my due date). After I delivered a healthy and happy baby girl, I had issues with lactation — low production with blocked milk ducts. I went to her for help again. Three sessions with her, my milk started flowing! Do I need to say more, ladies? For the record, I never had any experience with Chinese medicine or acupuncture before seeing Annie, and have to confess that I was very skeptical. Now I am a believer.

Annie and Ayoung have taken such amazing care of me. I was suffering from debilitating back pain when I found out I was pregnant. After hearing about the wonders of acupuncture I decided to give it a try. Annie explains everything thoroughly and the treatment is consistently relaxing. I’ve noticed a definite improvement in pain levels and stress levels after every visit. Annie Wang Acupuncture has really helped me through my pregnancy!

Hello all!
I would like to recommend Annie for any women with reproductive problems.
Here is my experience: when I was 31 years old I was diagnosed with POF. My ovaries were not working any more. I was devastated. It took for me two years to assume that I really could not have children.
Each time I thought about that, I felt more and more hopeless.
I realized then that the medicine, as I knew it, had done all it could do. It was time to look for another methods.
I read about Annie in Unilocal.Then, I set a first appointment with her. Since the first second, I knew Annie would do all she could to help me. She is patient, caring, kind and very, very professional. She knows exactly what to do and understands the body perfectly. I was eager to start acupuncture with her. After meeting with her, I knew I was in the best hands I could. This happened nine months ago.
During all this time, Annie has been working with me with acupuncture sessions. The first three months, twice per week. After that, I had acupuncture once per week. Now, I am having sessions biweekly.
The last visit to mi Fertility doctor at Stanford University was amazing. My ovaries (both) are working again! I have an IUI planned for this month. It was very clear in the ultrasound: both ovaries had several follicles, and two of them are 20 mm size.
I could not thank Annie enough. She guided me through all this process. She was always positive and she was always there for me.
If you are considering acupuncture, look no further. Annie (and her staff) will be your best choice.
I was lucky I found her.
Thanks for reading,
Place: excellent. Clean, cozy, relaxing.
Location: excellent. Parking.
Staff: excellent. Friendly. Polite. Always willing to help.

Annie is amazing.
I first went to her after searching for an acupuncturist on Unilocal.Her reviews certainly are accurate.
I had never tried acupuncture before, and I was a bit nervous to try it. Annie made me feel incredibly relaxed. She consulted with me before beginning and truly got to the causes of my concerns. Once treatment began, I was completely at ease. When I left Annie’s office, I felt better than I had in a very long time.
Every visit I had with Annie was incredible. I highly recommend her!

I was referred to Annie by my acupuncturist in SF, and was not disappointed! I went to regularly see Sarah Elliott, who took such great care of me. She always had new suggestions and followed up with any of my ailments and goings-​on, both physical and emotional. She was always very thorough and I felt she really cared about me.
Now I need to find her counterpart in New England! Miss you, Sarah!

Last year I was rear ended and had some back pain but more than anything I felt out of alignment. I work with chiropractors who helped but couldn’t quite get things back to normal. I finally called Annie (my dad’s rec) and she got me in right away. I had never done acupuncture but was willing to try anything. She was calming, and was able to keep me relaxed even though I’m terrified of needles. I IMMEDIATELY felt my back release into normal alignment. Went a few more times to keep things aligned but unfortunately can’t afford to go regularly. I just called due to another injury and they got back to me ASAP with a same day appt. Great customer service and results!

«My experiences with Annie (and one of her colleagues when she’s been too busy) have been awesome»…
Before finding Annie, I had experiences with 4 other acupuncturists starting 6 or 7 years ago. By far the best overall experience for me (where I got immediate pain relief, longer term healing, and an overall fabulous relaxing experience) was with an American acupuncturist/​healer living in Mexico where I spend a lot of time surfing. I have some «overuse» injuries from surfing and from generally living a very active life (micro tears in tendons near elbows, shoulders, and where they connect to muscles in parts of my back). Those acupuncture experiences were always incredibly healing and relaxing for me and he strongly encouraged me to find someone here in the Bay Area that I felt the same way about and to consider making acupuncture part of my overall «wellness routine».
He said most people in western culture go to doctors and healers for «fixing when there is a problem» instead of «maintenance to stay well and avoid problems». I thought about that a lot and about how the rest of my life really is designed around staying strong and healthy all of the time.
He helped me evaluate credentials of some of the acupuncturists I was considering trying. When I sent him Annie’s background he was highly impressed and suggested I give her a try. My experiences with Annie (and one of her colleagues when she’s been too busy) have been awesome. Looking at my calendar I see that I’ve been going regularly (every 2 – 3 weeks) since 2011! I get deep tissue massage in between and those two treatments together have done wonders for my body and, I believe, strengthen my overall health. Here are some of the things I love about acupuncture with Annie (and I had the same experience with one of her colleagues when she’s not been available).
1. She asks me better questions than my regular physician asks when go once a year for a wellness exam. She probes me about how I’ve been feeling, what’s been going on with my body, etc. — enough to remind me of the little things I may have already forgotten like feeling tired the week prior, or perhaps having bad allergies. She treats me each time based on what is actually going on with me and I have definitely noticed results for these types of things (better immunity, more energy, improved digestion, etc.)
2. I love the analgesic effect I sometimes get — occasionally I have pain in a particular area and the acupuncture treatment immediately alleviates it. More importantly, I’m not sure why (increased blood flow?), my overuse (tendon/​muscle) issues have definitely improved over time and I have not slowed down my activity — actually my activity has probably increased. I’m in my mid 40s, surfing 100 days a year, plus hiking, running, cycling, yoga… I hope to be doing the same at 70 and beyond…
3. I love the relaxing experience of each session and look forward to the sessions just for that fabulous feeling. After Annie gets me set up, she leaves the room for 30 – 45 minutes and I fall into a very relaxed state (she is great stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system allowing a very deep relaxation).
4. Lastly, Annie surfs! I couldn’t believe it when I first met her. That was this extra bonus for me. She’s super sweet and cool and interesting and understands the stresses I put on my body.
I plan to continue getting acupuncture with Annie as part of my long term wellness routine.

I always try to find good acupuncturist. I had three in the past. Annie was the fourth one. I kept coming to Annie for the past couple of years because I liked her professionalism and her passion in acupuncture. I was fascinated with how she followed her passion in becoming an acupuncturist and of course, the treatments worked! I came here for several things — neck pain, lower back pain, foot pain, digestive problems, stress, etc. It had great results. I highly recommend Annie.

I’m giving Annie Wang Acupuncture 5 star because they have all helped me through my infertility. Sarah and Annie have been with me from day one till my baby was born. Ladies, don’t think it twice, you have found your acupuncturists!

I have suffered from chronic shoulder and back pain related to stress for quite some time and tried everything for relief, with no such luck. I was referred to Annie and her treatments are the only way I gain any relief from my stress related symptoms. Annie is professional, friendly, thorough, and truly cares about her clients. I look forward to my weekly session. With every session, I feel the stress melt right off me, fall fast asleep, gain relief of my shoulder/​back pain, and leave feeling calm and relaxed. Annie is a true miracle worker.
Annie really takes the time to speak with you and understand your ailments and/​or reasoning for seeking her care. She tailors each visit based on your needs. Her care is not one dimensional. She really promotes and helps you lead a healthier lifestyle.
The entire staff is professional, and attentive. The office is beautifully appointed and feels like a spa. Annie Wang and the staff are #1 in my book.

I have to admit I wasn’t a believer in Eastern treatments when I went in to see Annie for the first time a couple years ago, but Annie has made a believer out of me. I was afraid of the needles (although acting brave), and didn’t have the first clue how it all worked. But I was ready to try anything to address my fertility issues, and not only was Annie’s technique flawless (making her needles palatable even to one such as me), but she was refreshingly, how do I put this, not-​overly-​Eastern (even though she’s fluent in Chinese and profoundly knowledgeable in Eastern medicine).
From Annie, I learned the meaning of holistic, and she helped me turn my health around, not only with treatments to address my digestive and overall balance issues, but with diet and exercise counseling that worked for me, where advice from Western doctors had previously failed (I’m not great at taking advice, even from doctors, and yet I find Annie’s counsel invaluable). She provides the right amount of explanation and answers questions clearly regarding her treatment approach, which takes into consideration treatments/​tests being performed by my Western doctors as well as her own assessment of me and my complaints. Even her recommended reading has been spot on.
As if technique, skill and knowledge weren’t enough, she’s also so very relate-​able (like a third sister to me), and flexible enough to tailor treatments to my comfort level, while challenging me at the same time. It doesn’t happen overnight, or in a single treatment, but bottom line is that she helped me get into the best health of my life prior to getting pregnant, and we’re expecting our first child any day now.

I’ve been going to Annie’s place for over a year now, and can’t say enough good things about it.
I’ve worked with Annie and Sarah, and they’re both masters of their craft. They customize every sessions based on your specific needs /​symptoms that week, and adjust the treatment accordingly or suggest a different modality (for example, Sarah suggested cupping, which helped me with a stubborn back pain that would not respond to any other treatment).
The place itself is a delight — it’s set up like a spa, relaxing music is playing in every room — it’s easy to fall asleep during your session, and they make every effort to make sure you are comfortable — including heat lamp for your feet, and special, shorter needles to minimize the achiness of some acupuncture points.
Highly recommended!

Annie was recommended by my western doctor two years ago, and I have been seeing her ever since. She is an excellent acupuncturist and a wonderful person. She holds highest medical integrity, truly cares about her patients, and always delivers.
I never really experienced the magic of needling technique until I met Annie. With my over two years experience, I can honestly say that Annie helped to improve my overall health as well as the outcome of my complicated medical treatments. Every time after seeing her, I felt more energized and refreshed. Sometimes I took a short break due to traveling or other personal time conflict. But I always looked forward to seeing her again as soon as I became available.
If you are reading this review, you might be wondering which acupuncturist can help you. Annie is someone you can trust. I am confident once you try, you will enjoy seeing her as much as I do.

I have been seeing Sarah for acupuncture and cupping for some time now. Sarah is caring and gentle. She listens to my concerns and addresses them. I leave feeling like a new person. Thank you to both Sarah and Annie

Annie Wang is an amazingly talented individual. She knows her stuff and is also as caring and attentive as can be!
I’ve had some health issues in the last few months and after I’ve grown somewhat disappointed with conventional medicine, I was seeking something different.
Came across Annie’s practice on Unilocal and I must concur with all of the great reviews here.
The office itself is very «zen» and serene, every time I walk in I feel already at ease.
Annie really takes the time to listen to my concerns every visit and always have great advice as far as minor life style changes I could make beyond getting treatments. Her personality is so pleasant sometimes I forget that I’m about to get some needles in my skin next :)
She is very gentle and not pushy at all when it comes to the number of treatments you would need. I also find her pricing to be very reasonable.
Highly recommended!

Annie is fantastic! The stress of life and working in front of a computer can lead to headaches and very tight back, neck and shoulder muscles. Every time I see Annie, I get instant relief.
Annie is personable, laid back and professional — all in one. What I really like is that Annie works with you and takes the time to discuss your needs. Also, when I search out a health care professional, I want to know that they are making a proactive effort to continue to learn and grow. Knowing that Annie participates in research programs, and is a faculty member at a college, is a plus in my book.

I don’t like needles, but it was highly recommended to me to have acupuncture despite that.
I explained to Annie my issues — including my dislike of needles — and she’s worked with me to help alleviate my pain. Very willing to work with your schedule.
