From the reviews
From my experience I have no complaints the staff are wonderful and truly attentive. The Doctors are wonderful and the front desk staff are very welcoming. My experience overall was a 10/10 the cupping definitely worked wonders on my lower back pain.
I’ve been seeing Dr Ji for over 20 years for various symptoms & always walk away feeling better. I’ve recently started seeing Dr Shellie for the past several months, when the medical doctors couldn’t figure out why I have been nauseous every morning.
Whenever my back goes out, which is often, I go to East West Wellness Center for a quick fix up. They're a very busy clinic and managing day to day seems hectic; but they always seem to do a really good job of getting people in and out. My back feels good and people are friendly and professional.
This place is truly amazing. Dr. Woo is exceptional—skilled, kind, and very respectful. He explains everything he’s doing and always asks for consent before any touch, which is incredibly important to me as a woman. Dr. Shelly is also fantastic. I honestly haven’t met a single staff member I didn’t like.
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.
