Dr Hongyanli is amazing! I started going to her in 2019 at the age of 46 wanting to have a baby. She said she would help me. I came to her once a week and took her herbs. She is very kind and professional. Also she is very knowledgeable and attentive to your issues. At 48 years, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. He is a miracle baby and Dr Hongyan Li was apart of it. I am still her client and will always be grateful for her expertise and help.

Dr. Feng and Dr. Li are both amazing. I have a chronic back issue and the treatments have been amazing. I have been going for almost a year now and it's been a great pain management tool. Dr. Feng handles the Santa Clarita office which is where I go now.

Dr Li is just simply the friendliest, nicest, magic working doctor. I called on a Sunday afternoon for an emergency appt, after having paid a visit to urgent care for severe back pains and headache where it hurts too much to move - urgent care just sent me away with steroids with no proper explanation of what was happening to me. She was able to take me in, explained to me why I was experiencing this pain and spent a great deal of time to treat all the inflammation I had, in order to decrease the amount of pain I was experiencing. 10/10 would recommend!

This woman is amazing. I am so happy to go back to Dr. Li - we took a break during the COVID years and didnt go anywhere. My body was struggling badly without Dr. Li because I struggle with TMJ which causes severe neck jaw, and pain shoulder pain and I have seriously tried everything from pain management shots, dental appliances, physical therapy, chiropractic services, deep tissue massages.

There has been nothing that's made me feel better than 1 hour with Dr. Li. I was so tired of spending $200 a doctors visit for someone to breathe on me and tell me there's nothing wrong with me or dismissively suggest pain killers when there is clearly something wrong with my body. I tried acupuncture before but my first acupuncturist was not experienced and I did not see results.

I am so happy I gave it a second try with Dr. Li. She now serves my family - last week my boyfriend came in with horrible pain all over his legs and knees that we could not get rid of with just our massage gun. I had to drive him to the appointment because he could not even walk. After ONE session with Dr. Li he was able to walk without severe pain!

My parents go next week to try acupuncture for the first time - keep in mind my family works in the western medicine field and have received no relief. I'm very excited for them to get some relief for their tendinitis. It is really important to drop your expectations of western medicine when you walk through the door - I know I did. It is really important to know that the more severe or chronic the pain is, you may have to go in a few times and trust the process.

The minute you feel pain, it's important to go straight away before it becomes chronic. This is because our bodies form compensation methods which create repetitive motions that contribute to chronic pain. And most importantly, it's important to know Dr. Li does everything for her patients and she is like family to me now. She is worth every penny.

AMC Dragon Acupuncture is the best. I've been suffering shoulder pain and back pain for years. My doctors want to prescribe muscle relaxers and pain pills. Neither of which have worked. After my first visit with Dr. Li the pain had decreased tremendously. After the second visit, I could raise my arm over head without any pain. I highly recommend this acupuncture office.

Dr. Feng is so knowledgeable, compassionate, and helpful. My anxiety and stress gave me hives and caused me to grind my teeth for months, and after a few weeks of acupuncture appointments and the Chinese herbal medicine, they died down significantly. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs treatment for something that western medicine does not seem to resolve.

Dr. Hongyan Li is so knowledgeable. She spends time with you and shares her years of experience with you. I went to her for my first ever acupuncture appointment and was blown away. I've had back pain for 4 years. She relieved my pain in one visit and told me only to come back if the pain returns. I'm recommending her to family and friends now because I truly believe she knows what she is doing. My back pain is relieved and I'm back to my activities without any restriction or discomfort!

Hypertension, Stress, Back Injury Dr. Hongyan Li has helped me enormously with herbal remedies and acupuncture, allowing me to travel when otherwise I could not travel at all. And traveling is required in my job. She also treated me with acupuncture and cupping for a very painful back injury that is now completely gone!

Dr.Li is a great doctor. She is very experienced and dedicated to offer the best service. My first time No Pain experience was at her Acupuncture Clinic. She truly cares about her patients and answer all of my questions. Thanks, Dr Li!

Dr Hongyan Li is nothing short of a miracle worker and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to improve their health. Unlike many traditional physicians, Dr Li sincerely listened to my concerns with professional compassion and explained what I could expect from the treatments. Although I scheduled my initial appt because I wanted to lose weight and get rid of the tinnitus in my left ear, upon examination, Dr Li pointed out that the primary focus had to be to lower my severely high blood pressure.

In seeiing how high my blood pressure was, I had to admit that getting my BP controlled had to come first. Since my father died of his first stroke, I knew that my hypertension had to be addressed. I was a little nervous about pain from the needles, causing my pressure to be elevated, but Dr Li had the gentlest touch when inserting each one. I barely felt anything more than a little pop of pressure.

Amazingly, at the end of my treatment my BP had dropped considerably and was almost in a normal range.

The acupuncture along with the supplements she suggested for me have really made a difference. With my blood pressure under control I will be able to work on weight loss.

Dr Li is a true gem that is professional, personable, dedicated and kind. I have gone to other acupuncturists before, but none surpass her great skill with those little needles.
