Angels Acupuncture & Herb Clinic

I want to remove my post

Dr. Lee is truly amazing. I went to him in my most desperate, saddest of times that I ever hope to experience, and he improved the quality of my life. I had had a stillborn baby at 38 weeks from a cord accident, after a perfect textbook pregnancy. It was a huge shock to my system, caused me to have suicidal thoughts, almost destroyed my marriage, friendships, my life. My husband and I were trying to get pregnant afterwards, and it just wasn’t happening. I was told I was under too much distress, and I would not fall pregnant unless I made some changes. I moved to Studio City and found Dr. Lee. After trying to get pregnant for 7 months, I went to Dr. Lee. After my first round of weekly acupuncture (1 month total) I was pregnant. I had an early miscarriage, (not Dr. Lee’s fault), but then we got right back to it. Got pregnant immediately after, again after the first round of acupuncture. Now I’m 34 weeks, and everything is great. I know it was Dr. Lee and the herbs, helping me to relax, getting my body and mind to a place of relaxation, calm and peace that they needed to be in order to open my womb and receive this special gift. Dr. Lee got me ready for it. He is one of the kindest, gentlest souls you’ll ever meet. After leaving a session, your legs feel like jelly because they’ve never been so relaxed before. I had never done acupuncture before, but he makes you comfortable with the needles, and then you get used to them pretty quickly. I would recommend him to anyone looking. Worth every penny.

I went to see Dr. Lee for an issue a few years ago, a sprained ankle a year ago, and again just a few months ago. I cannot say enough about how pleased I was.
Dr. Lee is one of the most patient people I’ve ever met. Soft spoken, calm and very knowledgeable, I feel like I can trust what he says and does, even if it might hurt. And if it will hurt, he’ll tell you so. Well, first he’ll ask you if he can do it, and then say «mmm, yes, it might hurt a little bit. Is that ok?» And somehow this makes it ok, and you end up saying yes.
In his calm way and with his good advice, I underwent a procedure I never imagined I could: wet cupping for a badly swollen sprained ankle. And the next morning the reduction in swelling was drastic.
Most of the time the procedure does not hurt at all. Dr. Lee has a light and practiced hand and is quick with the needles. He constantly checks to see you are comfortable, and will adjust the needles as you need.
The office is clean and calm and smells nice, kind of like tea leaves. He has a huge cabinet on the wall with mysterious drawers full of herbs for all kinds of ailments. The rooms are comfortable, and after the acupuncture is done, he’ll turn on a heat lamp (best on bare feet!) and let you stew for thirty minutes or so with some soothing music.
I also like that if Dr. Lee feels he can’t help your situation, he’ll tell you so. He’ll tell you if you should go to your doctor, or if his prescription will help you. I so appreciate this honesty and approach to making the patient well by any means, not just *his* way. He never rushes you in or out. If you need to tell him something, he will stop, sit down, look at you in the eye and listen to what you have to say. He will spend as much time as you need to finish the appointment. I have rarely met any doctor who will do this. Your time with Dr. Lee is yours and he gives you as much as you need.
I’ll continue to see Dr. Lee when the need arises. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I found this Dr through Unilocal,and read Colleen K’s review. I am an absolute baby with needles… I have been given smelling salts after being stuck with them… and after giving blood for tests I usually have to lay down or pass out! So, going to an acupuncturist for me was huge, but because of my serious sciatic nerve pain I was desperate. Dr Lee was very reassuring even as he put the 21 needles in! He let my wife come and wait with me during 1 session. She took pictures of what looked like a porcupine, Yikes! But I got quite a bit better with each session, and after 8, I was 75% better. I AM PAIN FREE NOW, NO NUMB TOE, NO WEAK LEG, NO ACHING BUTT! I also did cupping, and got an specially prepared herbal drink (like sweet mud) to hydrate me. Well, who can argue with success! Bless you Dr. Lee, and the rest of the angels!

If you need a Dr. who will be gentle with the needles… this might not be for you. Dr. Lee does what it takes to get results, including cupping. This is just my style. He is so sweet, too.
I’ve gone to him for a variety of ailments, but primarily digestive. He has helped with shoulder pain, sinuses and even moodiness or depression. I’m a believer. I usually turn to Dr. Lee and my chiropractor first before anything else because I get results and my body is better able to heal itself. Western medicine can sometimes be a merry-​go-​round going nowhere. Like anything, it requires a leap of faith and an open mind. Researching acupuncture can often help with that faith. He can also give herbs which have been highly beneficial to me. His kind soul is comforting. I have seen him for the last 2 years and have been getting acupuncture for 7.
