Dr. Lily Wu Acupuncture

We’ve had two wonderful experiences with Dr. Lily. (And I imagine many more).
1. We got married on December 3 and less than a week before the wedding my wife had her first ever experience with sciatica pain. She was in the emergency room twice and prescribed many drugs that made her feel sick but that did not alleviate the pain at all. Just three days before the wedding she was almost immobile, unable to put any weight on one foot. Having never tried acupuncture before, but willing to try anything, I found Dr. Lily. She was able to see my wife almost immediately! She spent a great deal of time working with her during the first visit and had her back two days later. After the second visit my wife experienced the first pain relief. Two days later she walked down the aisle pain free and drug free!!! On the day of our wedding Dr. Lily texted to check in. She’s a miracle worker and a wonderful human being!
2. My wife recently started experiencing migraines. On the fifth day of pain, we remembered Dr. Lily. She was able to get her in right away and after an hour long appointment her headache was gone. Literally, walked in in pain and walked out pain free.
We can’t recommend her enough!

I’ve been going to Dr. Wu regularly for almost a year now. I am an avid weight lifter, been lifting for almost 20 years. I’ve been having back, shoulder, elbow injuries this past year and Dr. Wu was able to treat and heal me in a very short amount of time. I don’t know what else I would do if I didn’t go to her. I’ve tried physical therapy that didn’t help one bit.
I would highly recommend Dr. Wu for acupuncture. She is warm, kind, and takes great care of my body. Her treatment is extremely effective and you will feel better within one or two treatments. I will be going to her for a very long time.

I first went to Dr. Wu to treat pain in my Achilles, shoulders, hip and forearms. The treatments removed the pain. She also gave me some herbs which has helped rid by canker soars. I now see her regularly for wellness and for any pain that springs up as a result of an active lifestyle.

I highly recommend Dr. Wu to anybody new to acupuncture. I didn’t know what to expect but had been experiencing anxiety while studying for a large exam. After my first session, I really noticed a difference. I was much calmer and it lasted a few days. I saw Dr. Wu every week for two months while I was studying. I was able to study and remain calm while taking my exam, and I really owe it all to Dr. Wu.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Wu to anyone who is looking for an alternative to the typical Western approaches to most ailments. It’s worth a shot! And she is such a kind person, so you will really enjoy your time with her. I did!

I am so glad I found Dr Wu! I suffered from migraines for years and medication did not work anymore. After a few sessions my migraines went away and I started feeling much better with a lot more energy. Dr Wu is very caring, very attentive to your particular needs and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Lily Wu is the BEST Acupuncturist I’ve ever received treatments from for the past year. I’m 55 years old and have been treated by 5 other acupuncturist over the last 2 decades for issues ranging from chronic pain, allergies, stress, hormonal issues to insomnia. Dr. Wu would do a treatment to balance my whole body and focus on the specific areas of concern. Recently, I was treated for insomnia and shoulder pain. Her treatment put me into a deep sleep for about 20 – 30 mins. Afterwards, she show me a stretch for my shoulder and had me do it in the office for a while to make sure the pain subside. Since being under her care, I have not used any of my pain medications that are sitting in my medicine cupboard.
I highly recommend Dr. Wu to anyone with minor to sever health issues. Be mindful that acupuncture treatment may have some discomfort. Some health issues will require multiple visits to completely resolve. The results of Dr. Wu’s treatments is highly effective and have improved the quality of my life along with my health tremendously.

Horrible experience. Dr Wu saw me twice. The 2^nd time she saw me she put the needles in my hand, which took all of 5 minutes, told me to stretch and left the room for 30 minutes. I’m not even sure what kind of stretches I need to be doing. I am new to back pain /​sciatica. She is the expert. I paid her $ 100 for 30 minutes. And she left me alone to wonder. Cmon! And then at the end of it all she says she is going to refer to to another person.

Doctor Wu is a superstar of Eastern Medicine! I have had chronic back pain for over a decade. I have tried all the traditional treatment means available — massage, chiropractic, occupational therapy — but steered well clear of surgery. I have used acupuncture for many aliments over the years with some success but not particularly for my back pain. I first visited Doctor Wu in January 2014 with at times, severe sciatic pain — radiating from my lower back down through my knee and to the side of my right leg. At times the pain was so severe that it awoke me at night. Over the course of several months I was treated by Doctor Wu with acupuncture to my hand which seemed odd but Doctor Wu assured me this was a proven acupuncture site to treat back ailments. Over the course of several months and visits a couple of times a week my sciatic pain eased dramatically and has now disappeared entirely unless I over exert myself. In these cases I once again visit Doctor Wu, who admonishes me for causing my back complaint to flare, and she goes about making the pain disappear again.
Doctor Wu has a great bed side manner, with an inquisitive yet serene approach to diagnosis and treatment.
I would recommend Doctor Wu unreservedly to any one looking for a professional and effective approach to the treatment of back pain.

I started seeing Dr. Lily Wu’s regularly almost a year ago. At that time, I was quite desperate about a cervical hernia that was causing me so much pain, even after 3 months of physical therapy. The only alternative in allopathic treatment was cortisone injections first then surgery. So, I thought, why not give a try to acupuncture? And I was lucky enough to find Dr. Lily.
After only a few sessions, the pain started to subside. It was not permanent anymore and soon enough, I did not need to take pain killers anymore. I would not say that it was a miracle because it would not render justice to Dr. Wu’s deep knowledge and fine practice of the science of acupuncture. However, the result was tremendously amazing to me. Today, I have resumed all my activities including fitness and I can enjoy my life pain free. However, understand that it does not happen in one session. Perhaps it does for some individuals, but not in my case which presented a serious condition existing already for a long while.
Dr. Lily is not only the best acupuncturist I ever met, but she is a wonderful human being. Every time I see her, I feel so welcome and safe! I won’t say that I don’t feel the needles entering in contact with the points of pain, but the feeling eases as soon as another point is needled. At the end, I just enjoy being warm and cozy listening to the soothing music. Plus, after each session, I feel restored, relaxed, so much so that I consider my sessions like a treat to myself.
Along the way, Dr. Lily also helped me with other conditions like stress, hot flashes, night sweats, bladder urgency, sciatica, sinus pain, arthritis in my hands… I don’t think that there is a condition that Dr. Lily cannot relieve using her science almost to a point of art. Lily Wu is a great listener, a very spirited, comforting and caring soul. She does not treat only body’s aches, she takes care of you as a whole person. Your general well being is what matters to her. I hope that my testimony will be helpful to others that are looking for another great alternative to remedy their pains.

Absolutely the best! Dr. Wu takes time to diagnose and develop a plan with you more than anyone I have ever been to. She is patient, understanding and gets to the root of the problem. I went to her for a shoulder issue that was not treated by the two other doctors I saw over a three year period. I felt better after the first treatment and better than I have felt in years after the fourth. If you are looking for a great doctor, she is the one!!!

Dr. Wu is a great acupuncturist and I really trust her. She helped me with my sleeping problem and now I can sleep no problem! She always listen to me carefully and gives an appropriate treatment. Cosmetic acupuncture is also something I enjoy. I appreciate her quick response to my email communication, too. I highly recommend her!

What can I say. Dr. Lily is the best acupuncturist I have ever been to, having been to 3 previously. She asks a lot of questions, listens attentively to the answers and applies the appropriate treatment. Her gentle, sensitive soul provides a genuine sense of peace both before and after your treatments. I have really feel the difference.
I work in a stressful environment and her treatments have truly reduced my stress levels and blood pressure — I have cut my traditional meds in half and plan to be off them completely by early next year.
Also, as an very active «young senior» I have plenty of painful «boo-​boos» from working out too much that have been greatly helped by her treatments — both my shoulders feel much better after my last 4 months of treatment and I don’t have to use the «usual» meds to manage pain!
Having always been a bit of a western septic of eastern medicine I am now convinced this is a way to go and Dr. Lily is an expert in her practice.
Both my wife and I highly recommend her without any hesitation at all.

From the first time I stepped into Dr. Wu’s office, I felt comfortable. On my first appointment, she began by taking time to understand my health background and why I came to see her. I could tell she really cared.
After about a dozen cosmetic acupuncture treatments, I’ve noticed a number of improvements. My face feels more radiant and my skin looks healthier. She encouraged me to cut back on cosmetics. Not only does this save time and money, it has also helped to simplify my life and build my confidence to go natural.
In addition to improving my skin, I’ve also noticed other benefits. Prior to starting treatments, I used to sometimes feel congestion-​like brain fog which also felt something like plugged ears when taking a flight. After several treatments, these nagging symptoms disappeared. Now I feel more clarity in my thoughts, and my inner ears feel better.
At each appointment, she checks in with how I feel that day. One time I came in with a headache and left without it. Another time I felt some sinus pressure and left without it. I don’t understand how things like acupuncture or electricity work, but I’m sure glad to have them!
Dr. Wu has a calming and uplifting personality. Her office space is clean and tranquil. And the music is relaxing. After each treatment, I feel better both physically and mentally. She truly cares about her patients. I’m so happy I found her!

If you expect to walk in, get pins on the exact areas that are hurting, and walk out feeling pain free — think again. This was my first experience getting acupuncture and you should be aware that it like many things, is a process. Some folks are healed instantly after, while others may need multiple visits over a period of time; it can vary.
Dr. Lily Wu takes her time to understand your pains, and also looks to apply needles that link to your areas of pain even if it’s not directly on top of the area you say is hurting. She makes sure to communicate that you are feeling the tingling/​sensation before just leaving each needle in, and is patient with her patients!
What’s great is that her schedule aligned with mine (even with a last minute dilemma), is close by my place, and works well with you as far as insurance billing goes.
She is a value to the community and I was thankful for her services. Now if only my insurance covered more sessions… lol. Thank you!

I have been suffering from TMJ and sciatic pain for the last year, so I decided to give acupuncture a try. I found Dr Wu online and booked my appointment and I am so happy that I did.
She did a great job on helping me to manage my pain, and educated me about a lot of ways to prevent and control the pain.
She is not pushy at all like other acupuncture places, every time I go there she makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. Overall I totally recommend this place.
You would love her work and great personality.

I liked the service that I got here, totally recommended…

Dr. Wu helped me with my allergies! I recently relocated to Raleigh where my allergies were so bad – I have even had to leave a professional meeting due to excessive sneezing/​sniffling/​eye-​itchiness.
Being back in San Jose for a month, I decided to give acupuncture a try and was fortunate enough to come across Dr. Wu. She was really kind and welcoming from the start. In 3 appointments per week I feel improvement in my allergies and stress levels. Normally I couldn’t even go for a walk in the neighborhood without severe effects of allergies, but now I can even go hiking and I am not as bothered as have been in the past. She also taught me which pressure points I can press daily to maintain my health. If my allergies come back I will certainly return to Dr. Wu, or for other issues. I wish I had more time in San Jose to continue the treatment because I feel like it would have made more of a difference.
Her schedule is also flexible – I had many schedule changes but she was able to accommodate me. Her office is clean as well.
Warning: The needles are a lot more painful than I remember from my previous experience with acupuncture.

lily is awesome. I was having trouble bending my knees sideway (sore!) after some heavy table tennis at work. Just after one treatment, miracle happened! I could bend my knees without feeling the soreness! Will definitely come and highly recommend!

I would recommend Lily Wu to anyone contemplating acupuncture.
I have suffered with shoulder pain off and on for years. I originally suffered a shoulder injury in the form of a torn labrum 5 years ago. When I re-​injured the same shoulder almost 2 years ago my options presented to me was surgical or physical therapy. Not wanting to opt for surgery right away I did physical therapy with moderate success, but a constant pain I thought would simply be the new me. Workouts became torturous instead of the pleasurable stress relief they once were.
I had looked online a few times and contemplated acupuncture, I didn’t know much about it and honestly doubted the ability it would have to help. With the urging of my girlfriend (and maybe her calling and setting up the appointment) I came to Lily Wu Acupuncture to see what could happen. After my initial treatment she even did research on my insurance plan to let me know what they would cover, who doesn’t hate dealing with their insurance people on the phone?
After just a few weekly treatments my shoulder pain was significantly reduced. I started working out at an intensity I was formerly performing at and the pain was much less. After a few more weeks of doing the same treatment the pain was less and less, but she decided to change the method she was treating me with. I was hesitant, but after the new treatment I have been 3 weeks with no noticeable pain! I would recommend acupuncture with Lily Wu to anyone with pains they want to disappear.
TL;DR
I was hesitant to try acupuncture, but found it completely got rid of shoulder pain when other physical therapy could not.

Lily is amazing, I’ve had 2 major accidents_​Im in daily pain
So i decided to try acupuncture for the first time in mid 2013. Soon after the needles entering i could relief in my upper back and left shoulder.
My husband also suffers of back pain in his lower back (sits at a desks 8−12hrs per day) He had his first round and walked out feeling like a million bucks. I had my 2^nd round and once again instant relief.
She’s very gentle, answers all your questions and concerns.
Thank You Lily Wu
