1st Choice Acupuncture

I had a miscarriage before getting help from Dr Lin and the Hopespring team. The acupuncture and herbal supplements helped me to heal and recover from the loss, and further nurtured and stabilized the next pregnancy, especially at the 1st trimester. Now I am a happy mom with cute and restless baby!

Dr. Lin is an extraordinary practitioner! I had nerve pain starting in my right shoulder to my right hand that was so severe that I wasn't able to sleep, had limited mobility, and had lost almost all sensation in my right forefinger and thumb. My doctor gave me a prescription for a nerve blocker and told me to also take ibuprofen for the pain and to come back in a few weeks to see if there was improvement.

Even with the prescription and alternating ibuprofen and Tylenol, the pain was only tolerable but I still didn't have full mobility in my arm or feeling in my hand. Then I decided to try acupuncture to see if I could get some relief. After the first visit with Dr. Lin, I was able to reduce the dosage on my nerve blocker and pain medication. After the second visit, I was about to completely stop the nerve blocker and only was taking ibuprofen at night, but still had numbness in my hand.

It only took 4 sessions to recuperate 100% and the best part is that I haven't had to take anything at all. All of the feeling came back to my hand, I have complete mobility, no tingling or numbness and ZERO pain! That was over a month ago and I am still feeling incredible!

If you're struggling with some cold feet & hands under Washington weather or infertility issues, I'd recommend Dr. Lin no doubt. After about two months of treatment including acupuncture and moxi, I became pregnant without IVF and feeling so much warmer during winter. Plus, Dr. Lin is very communicative, supportive, and knows how to listen to his patients. You won't feel like a number at Hope Spring Wellness.

At first I was nervous to try acupuncture because needles are intimidating to me but Dr. Naomi made me feel very comfortable from the initial visit and now I have done all my acupuncture sessions with Dr. Naomi to treat a health issue. It was truly a painless and relaxing experience because Dr. Naomi makes sure that I am comfortable every time. She is very sweet, empathetic, and professional! Compared to my Western doctors, I appreciate Dr. Naomi taking the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions.

I thought it was nice how my whole health was evaluated to treat the root cause of my health issue which was a very different experience from my Western doctors who only tried to prescribe me a drug. Dr. Naomi is very knowledgeable about Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and herbal medicine. Dr. Naomi customizes a herbal medicine for me to take to complement my acupuncture sessions and also give me good advice on diet and lifestyle.

I do moxibustion along with acupuncture and I have had a positive experience! If you are thinking about trying acupuncture, herbal medicine, or TCM then I highly recommend Dr. Naomi to treat your health needs and improve your overall health and wellbeing!

I've been in twice now to see Dr. Lin. Before my treatment I was feeling quite down and lethargic. I initially went in to get help with my Asthma and Allergies. After my first visit/treatment I felt like my old self, emotionally, and energetically. The next day my wife noticed a huge difference in my overall well being and mentioned that she was worried that she was not going to see the person she married again, but that I was back! After my second treatment it is only getting better, and I can't wait to continue to progress into my old self and health.

I was recommended by my doctor at The Foot and Ankle Center in Kirkland to go to 1st Choice Acupuncture for joint and foot treatments. I have been going for 5 months now, seeing Dr. David Lin, and am so pleased with treatments and the service they so kindly provide there. My treatments have resulted in lesser pain, loss of inflammation, increase in flexibility, and ability to continue my daily activities. I would highly recommend this place and am so happy to have found it myself.

Dr. Lin is absolutely the BEST. He is so patient and attentive and truly listens. Dr. Lin takes a holistic approach to my symptoms and really cares about my progress. I have had headaches for as long as I can remember, and with only a couple of treatments, I'm already seeing improvement. Dr. Lin is extremely easy to talk to about both physical and mental health issues.

There are also other wonderful providers in the clinic (such as a massage therapist and cosmetologist), that work closely with Dr. Lin. The office staff is so friendly and helpful as well! If you are trying to decide on an acupuncture clinic, look no further. You will not be disappointed.

I found this clinic on Yelp and I'm glad I took everyone's advice, if I could give Dr. Lin more than 5 stars I would. I noticed a difference after my 2nd acupuncture session and will continue to see Dr. Lin in the future because of the positive effects acupuncture has on my health and well-being. If you're in the area for acupuncture, I strongly recommend seeing Dr. Lin and his team.

I've seen other acupuncturists in the past and will say Dr. Lin is by far my favorite, he's extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. The herbal medicines might not be the best tasting, but the positive effects I've been experiencing are well worth it.

I've never had acupuncture before, and only had herbal medicine a few times in my life. In the last few years I'm feeling colder and colder in the winter in Pacific Northwest, including my hands and feet. And my digestive system is a bit weaker than normal. Each time after Dr. David Lin's acupuncture my body feels so much warmer, and with his herbal medicine I'm also improving gradually.

His advice on life style such as diet and exercise opens a window for me to see things from traditional medicine's perspective. Most importantly, I can feel Dr. David Lin treats me like family, not just a patient. I'm lucky to have him take care of me. It is a very special journey.

Great clinic! I have been working with Dr. Lin to manage some chronic conditions and the usual assortment of back +shoulder pain from work and life. Overall I'm happy with the results - I can feel immediate and lasting pain relief. Plus I sleep better. I also like that Dr. Lin takes time to explain things to me. Note, I see my GP regularly. I find acupuncture to be a great supplement, not a replacement. Recommend
