Qi Gong & Tu Na Health Center

I do not know where to start with Dr. Li he is an all around amazing doctor and a true healer.
I was suffering from intestinal pain for over six months and after going to other acupuncturists and to my primary care physician I couldn’t get any help other than «it’s probably just a flu!»
Utterly devastated and almost out of hope I decided to come into Dr. Li’s.
I heard wonders from him from a family friend and decided to try my luck.
He’s truly intuitive and has helped me feel full of energy again and PAIN FREE!
I recommend him to everyone and anyone. Your future self will thank you!

Prepare to be ripped off by good old Bob. That’s right — $ 78 for 25 minutes
I came in and waited patiently as I overheard Bob quote the price of $ ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ minutes of acupuncture. Ok «fair enough» I thought. When it was my turn, I informed him I have only 30 minutes to spare before I have to pick up my daughter… my 1^st grade math skills tell me that whatever the cost of this 30 minute treatment, it should be equal-​to or less than $ 50. Are you with me?
About 6 needs are inserted into the lower back (NO MANIPULATION is done… can it even be considered acupuncture without needle manipulation? studies show that needles alone are no different from placebo toothpick treatment). Then I’m informed «you need acupressure massage, not acupuncture»…umm ok. 10 minutes of acupressure massage by Amy was pretty great. At the end, she puts some kind of patch on the problem area (feels like good old icy-​hot). 25 minutes later I hear «you’re all done!».I go up to counter to pay.
Bob takes out calculator. $ 50 for acupuncture, $ 25 for acupressure and $ 3 for Chinese Herbal medicine. «$ 78 dollars for you, ok?!»…umm, no Bob, not ok. It wasn’t real acupuncture, it was 6 needles without any manipulation. And when asked what’s in the «patch,» Bob points to a bunch of bags of herbs and says «everything special herbs.»
What a disgrace of a business owner you are Bob thinking you can rip off «stupid white Americans.» Well we stupid Americans have this thing called Unilocal and care about each other. You may have gotten my money but you lost me as a repeat customer and you are costing yourself a reputation.
I’m giving this place 2 stars just because Amy, the lady who did the actual massage seemed genuinely concerned about the pain and did a good job with the massage. Sorry Amy you have to deal with Bob on a daily basis.

Dr Li was a little to rough with the needles :/
I couldn’t take the pain, so I found a different fertility acupuncturist his needles are much more gentle.

Dr. Bob LI saved my life. I suffer from a chronic intestine illness and I have seen all the Kaiser GI doctors in Marin and nobody could help me. Kaiser doctors recommend all the latest medicine and no of them work and the side effects of the medicine destroyed other organs and in my body. I almost died and was hospitalized for 8 days due to the side effects of the western medicine. Nothing happened and I was in so much pain and was ready to die when the Kaiser doctors said there is nothing I can do, but have surgery and even then I might still be living in pain. I have been going to Dr. LI for 2 months now and this is the best I have felt in 2 years. I have more energy, can work full time, and exercise. Dr. Li has changed my life and I feel like living again. Thank you for saving my life Dr. LI.

I suggest anyone who wants to better their health in any way, especially those who are in pain to be seen by Dr. Bob! SERIOUSLY!
I have an EXTREMELY long history of chronic bladder pain. I have been under the care of many kaiser doctors for several years trying every new age treatment they had to offer, medications that made me feel even worse, vitamins, a complete diet change cutting out all acidic foods and gluten, multiple biopsies, ultrasounds, cathederizations and the list goes on. I was in ¹⁰⁄₁₀ pain on a regular basis having to take opiates to «get by». Kaiser’s top of the line uro-​gynocologist/​surgeon, explained to me that I have an incurable condition of my bladder called intersticial cystitis and that this pain could be something I would have to learn to cope with my entire life. Hearing this «sentence» so to speak was devastating, this condition was hindering my quality of life! I’m 24 and was living the life of an 80 year old woman…: (
At my point of desperation, I was willing to try anything to feel better. Thank god, this is when I found Dr. Bob! I was hessitant at first, but was eased immediately after my first session with him and his associate Jenny. He is very knowledgable, as he is a third generation Chinese medicine doctor not just a western certified accupuncurist. He told me the magic words that I had been longing to hear for so many years, that he could make my pain go away and make me feel better!
I took his word for it and returned the following week and had taken all the herbal supplements he prescribed. I kid you not after a mere 3 treatments I was PAIN FREE! I am so grateful I found Dr. Bob and thanks to him, my life is returning to normal!

I never thought I would say this, but I am a true believer! I have been living with shoulder pain for almost a year now, and my boyfriend was always telling me go to Dr. Bob. Well, finally I decided it was either seeing an Ortho or fixing it another way without surgery.
I have now been seeing doctor Bob for 3 weeks now, and for the first time in a year, I have a little bit to almost no pain! I also find his hour session to be very relaxing, which is a plus. He is very knowledgeable, and intuitive with what is going on with my body.
Note, that it took about 3 session to really feel a difference, so it doesn’t come right away.

I am amazed by 2 reviews of this so called doctor. I went to him with a rash on the trunk of my body. He assured me «no problem I will cure you in 6 weeks» 6 weeks passed no change 10 weeks passed slight change in rash appearance. When I asked about his earlier assurance he told me that was for the rash on the front of my body not the back!!’ to make matters worse when I was laying face down with needles in my back he came into the room, whispered in my ear «if you pay ahead for 20 sessions I can take 20% off you will be cured forever and live long long life». Where do quacks like this get a license to practice. Went to another acupuncturist who saw my rash and told me up front needles will not cure a fungal rash only herbs or medication. Too bad I didn’t use this doctor first I would now be almost $ 3000 richer!

I started seeing Dr. Li randomly at my brothers suggestion because even though I have an extremely healthy diet and lifestyle I was bothered by my constant fatigue. I didn’t really know what to expect or how I was going to feel after, but immediately noticed things like less road rage, easier time falling asleep and waking up, extended focus, and amusingly enough my bruises began healing ridiculously fast.
Dr. Li is nice and simple to deal with. He dwells in a small building in the Sunset consisting of a front office & two patient rooms with a woman (maybe his wife?) who assists him in seeing patients. Calming music with flutes create a peaceful mood here as you are quickly ushered into a small room with a massage table. Dr. Li expertly sticks a few needles in and then lets you relax/​meditate/​sleep for about 30 minutes. Afterwards he comes back in to do some acupressure and a light massage before sending you on your way.
After only two treatments as my luck will have it I severely sprained my ankle. It was so swollen and painful that I ended up at the hospital and the doctors said it would take 6 weeks before I could walk again. I spent the first week sleeping until my Saturday appointment rolled around. 1 week after injury I started treatment with Dr. Li seeing him about every 2 or 3 days for two weeks straight. After 1 week of treatment, 13 days after my injury, and 4 weeks before Kaisers Doctors predicted, I was walking without crutches. Each time I would see him, sensations would come back, swelling would drop significantly and the discoloration jumped from black and blue (skipping yellow) back to a healthy pink!
The best part of this story is that I had certain plans that were already set in stone which would have cost me a LOT of money to break and because of Dr. Li I was able to keep them. One great thing about Dr. Li that sets him apart from any old acupuncturist is that he derives genuine joy from diagnosing and solving people’s problems.
I now see Dr. Li about once a week for continuing energy treatments or as he calls «tune ups» for the body. And if you’ve got an injury that needs a fixin’ or you just want to live a long healthy life, acupuncture, especially by Dr. Li is a great investment.

I sprained my ankle really really bad and could barely walk. I saw Dr. Li the next day and it healed so fast it barely hurt a couple days later and I was walking normally in no time. Since then he’s helped me with a variety of problems, from back pain to stomach problems to allergies. Treatments are affordable and so are the herbs. He even takes some insurance (not mine but it’s still worth it).
I’d been thinking about trying accupunture for a while but wanted to go to someone that was recommended to me. I’m SO lucky that someone introduced me to him (and that I sprained my ankle) because my health is getting better everyday!
