Eastern Medical Center - Pleasanton

Fantastic experience: Neck and Shoulder issues always give me relief and flexibility after both acupressure and Acupuncture

Fantastic experience: Eastern Medical Center – Acupuncture Review I just had my first acupuncture session at Eastern Medical Center, and I’m genuinely impressed. From the moment I walked in, the space felt calm and welcoming—like it was designed to help you breathe a little deeper. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, taking time to understand my concerns and explain the process clearly. The treatment itself was surprisingly relaxing. I expected a bit of discomfort, but it was gentle and grounding. I left feeling lighter, more balanced, and with noticeably less tension in my body. It’s clear they know what they’re doing—not just technically, but holistically.

Fantastic experience: Jazmin is a great at her job and was very helpful. Also the sweetwest person ever.

Fantastic experience: Great services and back pain relief. Always feel great leaving.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Eastern Medical Center for a few months now and have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Philip, Dr. Flynn, and Dr. Wang, depending on availability. All three are exceptional—knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. The front desk staff are always warm and welcoming, and the practice as a whole is very well-run. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Philip at Eastern Medical Center is truly amazing! Every visit leaves me feeling noticeably better, whether it’s back or neck pain, shoulder tension, sciatic, trigger finger, or headaches, he always knows exactly how to treat it. His ability to assess what my body needs and respond with the right combination of acupuncture, cupping, and TENS 3000 Unit therapy is truly remarkable. What sets Dr. Philip apart is not only his deep knowledge across so many areas of the body, but also how incredibly personable and attentive he is. He takes the time to listen, explain, and make sure I feel comfortable and cared for. He has a true gift for healing and a calm, welcoming presence that makes every visit something I look forward to. The clinic itself is clean, peaceful, and always smells great and the staff is just as kind and professional. I feel so lucky to have found this place, and I highly recommend Dr. Philip at Eastern Medical Center to anyone looking for truly personalized and expert care.

Fantastic experience: 第一次看Flynn醫生的時候，整個人像生銹的機器人， 腰背痠到坐十分鐘就受不了 , 晚上睡覺翻個身背就痛醒 ,手腳冰冷到穿襪子都沒用。 那時候真的覺得自己快廢了 , 還好遇到這個救星， 大大的改善了我的身體狀況 Flynn醫生，真的要好好謝謝你 !

Negative experience: I am over 39 weeks pregnant and due anytime now. Based on their website they provide pregnancy care. So, I went in to help position baby for smooth labor and help my body prepare for labor. But the doctor did not touch any labor acupressure points and told me he does not recommend acupuncture or acupressure unless you are in active labor in a hospital. When I called for appointment I specifically mentioned what my expectation is and they said Dr Flynn can definitely help. But during the appointment he told me he cannot do acupuncture and refrained from acupressure of any labor inducing points. Instead he did head/face acupressure as that would help energize my body. I ended up paying fees for something I did not ask for. Plus it changed nothing for me. Not sure why they would book me in when I told them what I was exactly looking for. It was just a waste of time and money for me. It wasn't worth the visit.

Fantastic experience: Dr.Teresa Shen is very knowledgable, and kind . I would always recommend her for the whole body mind healing . The facility is clean and very caring staff.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Flyn's skill at acupressure and acupuncture is amazing. He's significantly relieved the knots in my neck & upper back, and spends an adequate time to treat patients. He is kind and caring. Additionally the staff are always warm, nice, and friendly. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff. Very effective acupuncturist. I am very happy so far

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate dr Han Gang . Eastern medical center staff very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Wow! I’ve had bad sciatica pain and radiating nerve pain in my legs. After one session the difference is already incredible. The task that was hardest for me to do was done with ease!! And so much more comfortable sleeping. Everyone there was so nice and helpful. I am elated that I came here! I highly recommend this place!!

Fantastic experience: I have never done acupuncture in my life and I was lucky to get referred here. Great and Professionals.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Wang is an absolute miracle worker!! And the front staff members are very friendly and patient. I had neck and arm pain for months! I had the most difficult time walking due to the shooting pain. I tried chiropractic and physical therapy work many times and medication from the doctor - nothing worked. My PCP wanted me to see an orthopedic surgeon. I wanted something less invasive before going down the surgery route. I'm so happy and relieved I insisted trying accupuncture. My pain has almost completely subsided after only one visit with Dr. Wang. I was able to actually go on a hike (Pleasanton Ridge) after months of extreme pain from even walking around the neighborhood and park.

Fantastic experience: Awesome acupuncture

Fantastic experience: I felt immediate relief for my tension in my neck and shoulders.Dr Shen is incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable I will definitely be back and refer others!

Fantastic experience: I have had the worst back pain for 20 years. Until I went to these guys. I started in December and I have not felt any pain since. They are life savers.

Fantastic experience: Provides the best acupuncture and acupressure treatments in Tri-Valley area! Acupuncture helps for any ailment and is the most relaxing part of my day!

Fantastic experience: Great office and love coming here. Never had a bad time and they are the best all-around Eastern Medicine Center in the Bay Area

Fantastic experience: Dr Shen is welcoming, caring, intuitive and spends time to find what works for me as a patient. Her staff has increased to include other practitioners of different eastern body practice- acupressure, energy therapy and reflexology. It’s great to have them Under one roof. I have seen them for foot issues after surgery, neck issues, and some lower leg concerns. I have generally found relief and no longer use medicines regularly or chiropractic, even. I recommend giving this office and staff a try!

Fantastic experience: Excellent care. State of the Art! Highly recommend this office and the practitioners!

Fantastic experience: The best all around for whatever ails you - magical

Fantastic experience: Dr Eric and team is absolutely exceptional and amazing when it comes to taking care of their patients. I came across their referral and am glad I did . Dr Eric takes a lot of time and listens with patience to how to maximize effectiveness of the treatment. I would recommend the team to anyone seeking assistance in healing process.

Fantastic experience: Great therapeutic place, massage ,accupunture, cupping the BEST. Great customer service. Definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: I had shoulder pain for a few months and unable to sleep. After a friend's recommendation that acupuncture should help. I made my appointment and after 2 treatment with Dr Eric Wang, I was able to move my arms and doing housework without the pain.

Fantastic experience: So glad I chose Jax Chou. I researched and read good things online about Eastern Medical Center. Based on my ailments, particularly my back pain, I thought Jax Chou would be the best fit. And he was, very compassionate and understanding doctor. He genuinely tries to understand his patients problems and addresses them. I have been treated by Dr. Chou for a few weeks now and I am getting better with every visit. You can tell Jax Chou is passionate about this form of healing and he takes his job very seriously. Just an overall good experience with professional staff too.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had two appointments here and love it. The staff is professional and very knowledgeable, I will be coming back here for the foreseeable future.

Fantastic experience: Came here on a whim, looking for help with low back pain (post outpatient surgery 1yr prior) and plantar fasciitis in both feet. I called, looking to make an appt, and was asked if I could make it to the office in 30mins due to a cancellation. My response, “I’m already on my way!” I’ve had Accupuncture done before, but not with these results. Then follow it up with cupping, which I’ve been skeptical of, and wow, I left feeling so relaxed. I’m now here for my third visit and can say, although the results weren’t immediate, and the pain hasn’t fully subsided, by the 2nd treatment, I felt a noticeable difference in pain levels. Key take aways, we’re hard on our bodies, sleeping less, working longer hours with poor posture (“tech neck”), what do you have to lose in caring for yourself? Consistency’s key here

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I came to this clinic. After one session of acupuncture I was able to move my arm and have less upper back pain. The staff is super friendly and the office is so peaceful. I recommend anybody to visit this clinic

Fantastic experience: Dr. Shen is amazing. She is attentive and has the magic touch. I've had back pain for a long time and just the first visit already made a difference. I'm now a regular here. Front desk is always polite and helpful. They also helped me sort out insurance which is really helpful. Booking appointments online is so convenient for me too. Wonderful place to get your kinks sorted out!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for the last two months for acupuncture and I totally love it - all the doctors are great and the staff is really nice & accommodating.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to see Eric for acupuncture for the past 3 weeks sessions 6 sessions and I can already feel improvement in my arm .. pain has decreased and I have more mobility. He is amazing ! Highly recommended! Very nice and friendly staff and the location is so clean, peaceful and relaxing

Fantastic experience: My whole family has been coming to see Dr. Shen and her staff for years and every visit has been amazing! She is super attentive to our individual needs and really listens to her patients. We highly recommend Eastern Medical Center for anyone in pain or struggling with health issues!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Teresa Shen did an amazing job helping me with ear pressure (Eustachian tube dysfunction) along with neck, back, shoulder, and arm pain. She utilized cupping, acupressure, and acupuncture all done in the office, along with herbs to take home. After the 90 minute session I am feeling very free, lightweight, and uplifted. I can feel the tension easing and my muscles feel very relaxed. Definitely worth the time and would recommend to anyone to come here and see what Dr. Shen can do to help resolve any problems you may have with your health.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Hon and his team are amazing. I've seen Han for acupressure massages which is the only place I would get a massage from. Han is currently helping with my neck and back issues Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jax He’s been great ( his in house medical “medicine” has been very southing). I will continue to use him after my surgery!

Fantastic experience: I have been receiving treatment from doctor Jax Chou. He is too good, he is caring, sincere, and always helpful. He had treated my backpain, and now it is gone. Now I have asked him to attempt to try to fix my knees and shoulders. I would really recommend him as he is one of the best at his job.

Fantastic experience: Eastern Medical center is such a life-saver and life-changing place! My son is being treated there for migraines and nerve pain from an injury. He sees Dr. Shen and has finally gotten so much better—after MONTHS of physical therapy, MRIs and other specialists wanting to put him on medication with scary side effects. Here, they’ve been able to treat the root cause which has made all the difference. I see Dr. shen for cosmetic acupuncture which has been as effective as Botox. Dr. Jax has treated me for issues related to hormones and uses herbs to treat different issues. And my daughter sees Tatyana for help with her ADHD-she does cranial-sachrial(sp?) massage. The front desk staff is amazing-we have to give a shout out to Puck! Can you tell we love it here!? We see everyone for just about everything! And prior to coming here we were NOT acupuncture people . We are such believers now. If you have health things going on and haven’t found answers or relief elsewhere-I encourage you to give Eastern medical Center a try.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about Eastern Medical Center. The entire staff is courteous and very friendly. I see Han for acupressure and it has absolutely helped with my aching shoulder. I highly recommend them for both acupuncture and acupressure. The office is also very clean and calming you almost feel like you're at a spa.

Fantastic experience: Best acupuncture in Bay Area, went there for sleeping, anxiety and stomach issue and Dr Eric and Dr Shen help me back to my normal self. Suffered a couple of emotional distress from couple of deaths in the family and in turned took the hardest toll on my health but Dr Shen and Dr Eric helped me not only on physical but also emotional recovery. Dr Shen put a balance to my well being by using acupuncture and Dr Eric helped improved my sleep. I am forever grateful for both of them.

Fantastic experience: I never thought acupuncture would be the alternative to aiding me with my health concern (chest tightness). Being that it was my first time, I was highly surprised at the immediate results. I was seen by Dr. Dooling who specializes in Seitai Shinpo (Japanese Structural Acupuncture). I felt like I was breathing fresh air once my treatment was complete. I also experienced with acupressure with Dr. Han. The physical therapy-like treatment was amazing and loosened me up. The best advice I can give is to give your body its rights when in need of rest. I look forward to trying the different methods of treatment Dr. Shen and her practitioners have to offer.

Fantastic experience: Eastern Medical Center is a life saver! I recently broke my hand and after visiting the orthopedic surgeon I was given a brace and pain pills... gotta love western medicine. Knowing I wasn’t going to take the pain pills I began looking for alternatives to help with the recovery process. Over and over again I was seeing and hearing acupuncture is the way to go. Seeing how I’m not a fan of needles I was a little hesitant to give acupuncture a try but figured anything is better than pumping myself full of meds. After researching a few local options Eastern Medical Center seemed to be the best option and let’s just say I couldn’t be happier. I was initially treated by Dr Wang and upon my next visit with my orthopedic surgeon I was told “your hand is healing extremely fast”. Needless to say I’m still going to EMC today. Recently I’ve been working with Dr Shen to eliminate some reoccurring headaches I’ve had for years... haven’t had one since my second treatment. I’m extremely thankful that I found Eastern Medical Center or as I like to call them “The Fountain of Youth”!!!

Fantastic experience: Great place for acupuncture and cupping. Definitely recommend it. Cheers! Employees are very friendly and highly recommend

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! I’ve been coming to Dr Shen for a handful of years and she has a true gift. Everyone in the office is friendly and I always look forward to coming back. Thank you for all you do!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Shen and her team are amazing. I've seen Han for acupressure massages which is the only place I would get a massage from. Eric is currently helping with my neck and back issues and I have noticed much improvement. Dr. Shen has a great way talking to her patients besides doing acupuncture. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I visit twice a month, this place is awesome and help me keep healthy ! I love thier service and recommend to my whole family already. They had nice and professional people and taking care of you body and it is the really a relaxing experience. They do open on Saturday now and it is a good activities to start your nice weekend

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Dr. Shen since early 2011. Her practice is very supportive and holistic. From the front desk staff to the doctors and acupressure massage therapists, it is top notch. I have recommended this practice to multiple friends and co-workers.

Fantastic experience: This place is such a blessing! I go to Clinton weekly for my scoliosis. He is so amazing. Every time I leave my appointment I feel renewed and pain free which is so important to me as I've suffered from pain since I was 13. He relieves any tension I have. He really works wonders. I've gone to different chiropractors but when I am in pain I go to him and I am instantly healed. He understands different meridians of the body and points in which to help the person. My mother and I are huge fans and pray Clinton never leaves!!! He is such a joy and has helped our health immensely. Another plus is the cupping they have here. Cupping also helps my back relieve itself from tension. This place is amazing and I recommend it to everyone :) its an office with great people and energy.

Fantastic experience: The people at Eastern Medical Center are MIRACLE WORKERS! I've been going here for the past 8 years with a variety of health problems (ex: back problems, anxiety, torn muscles, knee problems, sleep problems, and much more) and they have helped ALL of these problems! I've done acupuncture, acupressure, cupping and every single service is always done professionally makes me feel brand new after. Dr. Shen always provides so much care and respect in our sessions is an authentic and wonderful person who truly wants you to heal. She is passionate about what she does and is genuinely one of the nicest people I've ever met. Also, Dr. Wang has been working on my knee since my ACL surgery and has been extremely helpful, and after every session my knee feels a little stronger! Do yourself a favor and make an appointment today. It will be well worth your time and will be the best decision you've ever made for your health!

Fantastic experience: Teresa Shen is meticulous, compassionate and a miracle worker. One session and my 3 month back pain was Gone! Hasn't bothered me since and it's been at least 4 months now. My chiro says I've never been so easy to adjust and keep it up. She's awesome and this is her calling. SO glad to have found her!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Dr. Wang and Clinton Muhammad! I am forever thankful. Its been 7 years since I was able to get up and be active. I was in a car accident that has left me pretty much immobile for 7 years. I could barely walk, I wasn't able to play with my kids, I could hardly work without any pain. Doctors have given me many injections and tried many things to fix what was wrong with me. After spending countless hours, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and wasting seven years of my life, I was willing to try anything. Acupuncture was the first thing I should have gone to. Like many, I was skeptical about acupuncture and what a needle can do, but I was willing to do anything. I started seeing Dr. Wang last July and he told me to keep up with the treatments as I would progress overtime. Dr. Wang recommended me to see Clinton as Clinton's massages (active release techniques) can help with the combinations of acupuncture as it helps relaxes the muscle and the tissues for the acupuncture to work better. Little did we know, after 6 sessions, I was able to go to the park and play with my children again. As the sessions went on, the pain began to reduce dramatically and after about my 16th treatment I am pain free. I have my life back and I am pain free and I only spent $1600 compare to the hundreds and thousands of dollars on all these other things and medications and therapist and sessions. I no longer need acupuncture and haven't needed it in awhile but continue my session with Dr. Wang because it keeps my body strong. I also continue to use Clinton. The 7 years that I haven't been active has really put me out of shape and in bad condition (I gained about 60 pounds) and just beginning to work out again is tough but Clinton keeps my body loose and stretched and fresh. Again Dr. Wang and Clinton, I am forever thankful!

Fantastic experience: The only thing that helps take the edge off of Chronic Pain. Dr. Shen is Amazing as are the Results!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Shen and her entire staff are so worth coming to Eastern Medical Center. I always feel welcome and they truly make you feel comfortable as a patient. The decor and aura inside also helps create a positive environment. The main reason I started coming here earlier this year is because I was having some pain and discomfort in my wrist from the boxing workouts I do. I never look forward to seeing a doctor so I thought I would try something new and boy was I glad I did! I did an initial acupuncture and acupressure treatment with Dr. Shen and now I’m hooked. It’s a great experience all around — with your mind, body, and spirit. The acupuncture really helps stimulate the healing process and I have even noticed an improvement with my overall well-being. Recently I came down with a bad case of hives from a insect bite and decided to see if acupuncture would again be the magic elixir for my physical woes. Sure enough I’m noticing good results already and it’s only been a day since my treatment with Dr. Shen. She also recommended several methods for me to do at home on my own to further my treatment, which shows that she genuinely cares about the people that she treats. My rash is starting to itch less and is less dark in several areas. What a relief! These days my wrist pain is almost completely gone and I still like going just to take care of myself like routine maintenance on a car. Also, I have always had a hard time managing my stress but every time I leave a treatment I feel like a million bucks! Highly recommend!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Shen and Eastern Medical Center - including Dr. Luo are absolutely the best acupuncturist I have had the pleasure of working with. Both are very customer oriented and know how to target what is going on for you at a deeper level. From lower back pain to stress - you are in good hands.
