From the reviews
…Depending on what's going on with me at a particular visit, she sometimes using cupping, moxa sticks, or other complimentary techniques. She addresses my particular concerns (e.g. knee pain) within the context of my health in general (e.g., stress level).
Great place! Ray and Lee are extremely friendly and they really care about their patients! I had a couple of visits and I felt welcome every time I walked in. Ray is helpful in working with my shoulder issue on very short notice and he makes me feel at ease explaining what I should expect to have done at the beginning…
A client of Dr. Lee for over three years, extremely very caring, listen to my concerns and where it hurts, a patient from chronic pains and inflammation of an old injury, bad experiences of non-caring healthcare specialist, I love the dabbler that pinpoint the symptoms, the measurements of different types of needles…
Dr. Huang is friendly, informative and gentle, and her warm and inviting office makes for the ideal experience. At my first visit, I felt as though I had been a client of Dr. Huang's for a very long time.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
