Ding’s Acupuncture & Herbs, LLC

AWFUL experience. Bought Groupon & was looking forward to some relaxing time with all the illnesses that I am going through, while doing all I can AND more, to get better! Acupuncture was supposed to be 60-​minutes & cupping 15-​minutes. Each was ¹⁰⁄₁₅ max. Then all she did was lecture me about all the things I should be going and NOT doing (that I’ve already been going for 17+ years). She told me that Chinese medicine can do this & that. AND then, she was (scary), absolutely clueless on anything I’m going through & recommended things that could land me in the hospital! Yuk!!!

I have been suffering from pinched nerve in my back. I had injections, surgery, and still no relief. Finally, I had heard good things from my sons soccer buddies about using acupuncture to speed healing. I decided to give it a try. I met with Dr Ding and she took the time to evaluate my situation and come up with a treatment plan. She gave me some stretching exercises to go along with the treatment. After 4 – 5 visits I had seen more progress than over a year of trying doctors and physical therapy. Acupuncture works and I recommend Dings to all my friends.
Dr Ding has a relaxed office which is clean and comfortable. The results are amazing!!!

I visited Lei last year. I found her on a groupon deal. I have been to an acupuncture before so I know what to expect. I felt a negative energy in her office. I saw her graduate certificate from a good local college. She bad mouthed her university. As she asked about my medical history and past acupuncture visits and treatment. She bad mouthed my treatment from my other md. The patient room was clean, except there were needles overflowing from the sharps guard spilled over onto floor. Before touching me. She did not clean or disinfect her hands. I am in Healthcare and this is a must to prevent infection. I think she swabbed puncture sites with etoh prior to insertion. She also did cupping on me which made my neck muscles tighter. This was my experience on my first visit. I thought maybe she just had a bad day. So, I returned a second time, still the same bad energy, bad mouthing of my md now with herbal treatment, still needles overflowing on ground and no handwashing. I would not return again. I will stick with my previous acupuncturist.

I was really glad to stumble on this groupon deal. It’s the best purchase I’ve ever made on groupon. Ding is very friendly and knowledgeable with the services she provided. I was able to be seen right away and her schedule was very flexible. I was actually running almost half an hour late on my first initial visit, but she was still able to accommodate me.
I came in with back and neck pains; and with the accupuncture, the cupping helped tremendeously! I love her holistic approach and she was able to provide good advice to help with the underlying issues. I look forward to seeing her more often. In addition, she’s timely with the amount of attention she gives to her patients and reasonable pricing for the herbs and supplements. I recommend them for the organic and natural benefits it has.

Dr. Ding is extremely knowledgeable and a skilled practitioner. Under her care, my dermatological problem was cured with the use of acupuncture, massage, cupping, and herbs. When I sprained a foot, acupuncture diminished the swelling and pain. I’ve received at least 10 treatments and I’ve always found the room and treatment table comfortable. I especially like the heated treatment table on cold days and the soft instrumental music playing in the background. I know I’ve slept some after her massage and during cupping. She’s provided me a lot of good advice. As a result, I am more selective in my food choices and am more hydrated. Dr. Ding is extremely accommodating as well. When I’ve not felt well and needed to see her, she often can fit me in within 24 hours. I’ve had acupuncture elsewhere in the past and prefer Dr. Ding.

I found Ding’s from a Groupon deal that included a 60 minute cupping and acupuncture session. Although I’m a bit afraid of needles, I’ve always wanted to try acupuncture for my neck and shoulder pain.
When I called, I was able to make an appointment the very next day, which was nice. Lei advised me what to do in preparation for the session (stay hydrated, and make sure I had eaten). She was very thorough in my medical review, and I liked that she explained everything she was going to do before she did it. She also suggested a new pillow to try for my neck pain. I felt so relaxed I actually fell asleep on the table.
The office building is pretty old and run-​down looking for Bellevue standards, but her office was clean and comfortable. I saw in other reviews that people complained about the neighboring business’ noise. I heard chatting, but it didn’t really bother me.

I am confused by the poor reviews I am seeing. Lei has never once made me feel rushed and I never noticed her rooms to be terribly noisy. She treated me 10x last year and I had wonderful results. Each time I came she gave me helpful and honest advice. Not only is she an extremely skilled acupuncturist, she also cares about her patients. She has a fantastic personality and is so fun to converse with. I would highly recommend her!

I had never had acupuncture and wanted to try this more holistic approach to relieve my back pain. She did cupping and acupuncture and, as stated in the review above, I could not relax because of the office noise from a conversation she was having with another patient… I shouldn’t hear another patients issues. Then as I was lying on the table naked and trying to relax, the other patient walked into my room.
I received no relief from my back issues, I felt rushed through the entire visit, and the office space looked run down and unkempt.
The entire experience was horrible and I do NOT recommend this business.

I have always wanted to try acupuncture but have never had the never to do it or have been to lazy to look up my insurance policy on it. I have some neck and low back issues that I try and ignore daily. But I saw an Amazonlocal deal and I thought I should definitely check it out and see if it even something I might be interested in.
I understand that one visit isn’t going to cure you and it takes time. Lei sat down and asked some medical questions about me. During the visit she explained to me what it was she was doing and why which was nice. The cupping technique I think felt good and there were no red flags afterwards which she said was good. Then she brought out the needles and I had to close my eyes because I forget… I don’t like needles. But they are really fine and she just taps them in like its nothing. You really can’t even feel them.
The whole time I am just laying there trying to relax but I can’t because I can hear the neighbors below her office. These 2 ladies were talking forever, I am guessing it is a doctor’s office of some sort. I could hear their whole conversation. I couldn’t relax! So I am a little bummed about that which is why I dock a few stars.
I think I would have liked it better if I just got a massage and I think I will just stick with that in the future because I feel like I get more immediate results and benefits from it. She massaged my back a little bit just to feel me out and where the soreness was. And in the short minute she did that, I wished it was a massage, she has really good hands.

I bought a living social deal for an acupuncture session. Lei Ding is very nice and very skilled. She explained things in a way that was easy to understand and thought that it was a great deal. My only complaint is that when you walk into the office and look at the reception area desk it is very messy. Papers just thrown everywhere and not in neat piles. Under the acupunture tables there were random empty bags and trash ect. I liked her and thought it was a good deal but if I were continuing to go there paying full price I would like to see the office in better condition as it’s a little alarming when you walk in. It personal preference and I thought she did an amazing job otherwise.

I saw results after my second visit with Ding. She is conscientious and careful with her patients and her methods are gentle and effective. She also is very observant to your general well being and is quick to note when something is amiss even when it isn’t what you are being treated for.
Definitely a gem in the business. Her extensive knowledge in natural healing and herbs is definitely a huge plus.
