Huang’s Acupuncture & Herbs

I’ve had massive issues/​trauma/​pain in my right shoulder, and nothing I did would alleviate it. I tried physical therapy, massage, medication, anything you can think of. I tried acupuncture kind of as a last resort – I had done acupuncture once before and did not feel any beneficial effects. However, Dr. Huang was able to pinpoint my issue and work with me to alleviate my pain. I think he is leaps and bounds more intuitive and educated than anyone I had previously tried. Dr. Huang is very knowledgeable and knew exactly which spots to hit. I’ve had around 8 sessions and I will keep going back to him for tuneups. Truly a miracle worker!

Dr. Huang is the absolute best. My husband and I struggled to get pregnant for 3 years and suffered a few miscarriages. Instead of going the IVF and Western medicine route, we decided to try Chinese medicine, and chose Dr. Huang after attending introductory sessions with several other acupuncturists. I went with his treatment recommendations for acupuncture and herbs, and was pregnant within a month and a half of being under his care. As soon as I was pregnant, he changed up the treatment regimen a bit to help me sustain it, and I am happy to say that I am now 5 months along and due in early April 2013, and still going to Dr. Huang regularly. This guy seriously knows what he’s doing!!!

Dr. Huang is top notch. I went to him based on the Unilocal reviews I read and am very happy I made that decision. As background, I was extremely stressed out and was having a hard time keeping my composure and not crying (Q4 at a very stressful sales job and a break-​up from my boyfriend pushed me over the edge). After 3 straight days of feeling like I couldn’t control my emotions/​tears, I called his office and then cell (which was listed on his website) at 9pm on a Friday night. He answered and booked me an appointment for early the next morning. I had never done acupuncture before but was open to anything at that point to help relieve the stress. I told him what was going on and started crying. He was very kind and supportive and suggested a treatment plan for me. After the first session, I immediately felt better and did not shed another tear after that. I find acupuncture very relaxing. I always drift off in a very zen-​like state and then fall asleep. It’s amazing. I’m now going once a month just because I find it to be a great form of relaxation (I often alternate between this and massages). I think Dr. Huang is awesome — a true professional — and very caring. I would recommend him to anyone. The office is a little dingy… but that is easily overlooked for the quality of his service.

Have been coming to dr huang for back pain. Hard to rate since this is my first time doing acupuncture, but he seems to know what he’s doing and is very gentle. My one beef is that upon arriving early I can hear him running water and grunting (?) in the bathroom. It makes me worry about sterility, but so far no infections. Office is a little small and a bit dingy too. Oh and my backs not really getting better, but I don’t blame him for that.

Dr Huang is a well educated (GW University MD) and as Stef W said, he is very gifted! I am very persnickety and was very satisfied with the acupuncture and the price! I recommend this to anyone looking for a good accupuncturist in the DC area!

Dr Sen’s acupuncture is amazing. I went over for a visit on the basis of a Unilocal review. I was very satisfied with the results.
I had knee pain for several weeks, with difficulty walking up and down stairs in particular.
A western trained doctor told me to take 800 mg of Ibuprofen, 3 times a day, for a week. And for the stomach rape that might result, I asked? No worries, take Zantac, buy it over the counter, said the good doctor. A week later, I had horrible stomach aches, but my knee was better — for a few days, and then the pain came back.
That’s when I decided to try acupuncture. Dr Sen was very calm, almost serene. He told me that he was trained in both Chinese and Western medicine (he’s an MD). He stuck a few needles in me, explaining that my body’s energy field was blocked in some places — causing an inflammation at the knee — and needed to be released.
He then gently urged me to relax and listen to the CD of Chinese classical music. Half an hour later, it was all over. I got up, paid the bill, and walked out the door. I felt so much better. I tested the knee by walking up some stairs, cautiously at first, and BINGO, no pain at all. And my stomach is pleased.
