Update- 3 years later and I still feel great! I'm working out 6 days a week, at 40 years old I am in the best shape I've been in since playing lacrosse in HS/college. *I have maintained all of the improvements from my acupuncture treatments. Multiple shoulder specialists told me that I would have to settle for not being able to raise my arm above my shoulder for the rest of my life, well Lily didn't settle for that and I can reach almost straight up overhead, about 90 degrees additional range of motion which is 100% the result of acupuncture treatment. Lily Chen is a talented acupuncturist.
She is dedicated to her craft and she gets amazing results. Going to her for treatment literally changed my life and that is not hyperbole or exaggeration. I was skeptic at first but the results are undeniable.

This is a mother-daughter Acupuncture practice. I see Dr. Lily Chen and so happy she has "healed" me. My Orthopedist highly recommended surgery and I opted for acupuncture! Dr. Lily Chen has great reviews and I am so thankful she is blessed with such "healing hands"! I am back to all my normal activities, full swing back to the gym, zumba and yoga - Thank you so much for all you do Dr. Chen - you have a gift of healing!

Overbooked and overpriced. I waited more than 40 minutes before my treatment started. The woman across the hall had been waiting for an hour. I found the female practitioner to be very cold and rushed. I was unhappy to be paying $90 to begin with and found it almost insulting after what wasn't a peaceful or therapeutic experience at all. 1 star is for cleanliness, at this point my last priority. I really enjoy acupuncture and have had amazing results in the past. But when I came to my appointment I was really in need of therapeutic attention and didn't feel cared for at all.
