Review from Judy H.

No frills, competent, totally works for me.
I've gone to Dr. Lee for neck & shoulder and forearm & hand pain related to sitting in front of the computer for too long. If you're looking for a spa-like environment with soothing scents and vaguely Asian muzak, this isn't it. The office is austere, full of well-worn books and posters, with an unmistakable scent of Asian ("Oriental") herbs throughout. Which is what I expect from acupuncture, actually.
Sometimes he leaves me under the heat lamp a little too long, but when I half-complain that I'm too cold or that he took too long, he has a kind of tough love attitude, like, "toughen up!" But he always listens, and he's genuinely surprised if I make a follow-up appointment sooner than expected, like he's surprised that the first treatment was insufficient to fix me. I don't know if it's because Dr. Lee treats me like a kid (though I'm in my late 30s), but I like it.
He told me he was trained in China and that his father was an acupuncturist as well. And he's fun to talk to and well-informed about current events and politics. On my first visit, he asked me what I thought about US foreign policy towards North Korea. He nodded approvingly as I critiqued Bush administration's hawkish stance in spite of dire humanitarian needs.
4 out of 5 stars cuz, even for me, the office could probably use a little updating in terms of painting and decor. ;-) -

Yes, not a fancy office by any means but if you're more concerned about getting well then being in a pretty space I highly recommend Dr. Lee. He's very 'tell it like it is', which I appreciate and also has a nice sense of humour. Most importantly he's a gifted healer, beyond the needles. Worth a try for sure.
