Testimonials

This must have been one of the best acupuncture clinic that I've visited, both in China and in the states. The front desk here was so tentative in helping me figure out my insurance benefits and set up my appointment. The acupuncturist, Yanling, she's so knowledgeable in her specialty and for sure knows what she's doing. I had migraine for years and never found an effective way of treating it aside from painkillers. After my first treatment it immediately got improved, and with the following 10 treatments, my migraine hasn't come back in months. I'm truly happy with results and would recommend it to those who in need to give it a try!

I was scheduled to have hysterectomy when I first met Dr. Xiao. When she told me it was treatable, I burst into laughter with skepticism. Come on, I mean... who can treat this mess? Because all the pre-surgical checkups takes 3 months to complete, I gave Dr. Xiao 3 months to try it out. Well, what do you know, my symptoms were gone on the third month! Unbelievable yet true! I am postponing the hysterectomy now. If the good result persists, I will definitely cancel it. Will follow up later. About Dr. Xiao, I think she is gifted with great analytical skills when it comes to holistic medicine and also well-trained in acupuncture techniques. She is full of energy and gives me motherly care during treatment sessions. I highly recommend her if you have any physical or even emotional pain.

I have a complicated medical history and needed an acupuncturist to really look at me as a whole and Ginger did that. If she can help me - a girl with scoliosis and cancer history, I'm sure she can help you!

I was recommended to go see Ginger as a consultation but left a customer. I needed to find some pain relief for a car accident I was in and after my first treatment the pain level went from a 9-10 down to a 4 without it being constant. I feel amazingly better and can't wait for the next treatment. She is amazing and knowledgeable. I am also doing the TCM and have noticed some positive results as well. Thank you Ginger!!About Dr. Xiao, I think she is gifted with great analytical skills when it comes to holistic medicine and also well-trained in acupuncture techniques. She is full of energy and gives me motherly care during treatment sessions. I highly recommend her if you have any physical or even emotional pain.

Finding a great acupuncturist is a secret that's worth sharing. I've been so pleased with my experience that I thought I would pass it along. I had IT-band pain which was not improved after I had PT for 7 months, then I decided to give acupuncture a try. Amazingly, the pain went away after half year treatment and I was able to go hiking again! During the time, Dr. Xiao also treated my frozen shoulder, lower backpain and other issues all together. I couldn't be happier and healthier! If you're ever looking for an acupuncturist, I strongly recommend you call Swiss Acupuncture and ask for Dr. Yanling Xiao. You'll be glad you did!About Dr. Xiao, I think she is gifted with great analytical skills when it comes to holistic medicine and also well-trained in acupuncture techniques. She is full of energy and gives me motherly care during treatment sessions. I highly recommend her if you have any physical or even emotional pain.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with YanLing @ Swiss Acupuncture. I originally sought out treatment for neck pain from a previous car accident, but she ended up treating a variety of issues I was having with my GI as well through acupuncture and herbs. She is very thorough with her process and her years of experience shine through every decision she makes.Her main goal is to treat the underlying problem so you don’t have to keep coming back. Most medical providers will treat the symptom and not the root cause, which in turn keeps you coming back spending lots of money.I can’t thank her enough for how much my day to day life has improved from her treatment. I highly recommend seeing her for any and all health issues.

As a patient I can tell you that the Swiss Acupuncture approach is different from the traditional acupuncture that I tried before. They focus on pain relief and the results are immediate rather than taking hours or days to know if it will work. I went in with pain in my back and five minutes into the treatment it was gone. Wow! I'm planning to come back to work on my tennis elbow and a knee problem.

I came to Swiss Acupuncture seeking relief for my wrist pain. Pain started last year Oct after having a baby and had slowly gotten worse so I decided to try acupuncture in March. I went with the package treatment and by the end the pain has gone down by a lot. Now I no longer feel the pain. Ginger and staff were all nice and helpful. Office is clean and relaxing during treatment. I would highly recommend!
