Hope Acupucture & Herbs - Redlands, California

YM U.

At first I feel doubt about acupuncture. But after I am suffering too much with pain in my knee. So I am thinking to take acupuncture. I am googling where is acupuncture near me.
And Finally I seen this place. Tried to call no one answer and also try to leave a voice mail no one to call me back.
Coz the location near me, so I decide to come and ask about the appointment.
When i arrived at the location is really hard to located the office, because it said in the map the office is no 7 but actually no 2. Don’t know why?
When I knocked the door. The guys opened the door. And he said today fully booked and he gave me an appointment on the following days.
So I recommend if u wanna make an appointment just come and ask right away 😬😬
On the day acupuncture,
Honestly. It is first time for me for acupuncture so no idea how it works.
My complain is knee pain so he started with massage with the area that I complained with, oh man, how he massage my knee is so good and relaxing the most important thing is my pain is reducing. He just told me, let’s him know if I feel the pain.
I almost fall asleep 💤 😂
I guess almost half an hours he massaged and then he proceed with the acupuncture
When he started poke me with needle I feel none. not bad
So he put more needle in my head and arm and knee and foot.
After 10 minute I feel too much heavy all over my body so I called him and tell him what I feel and he removed all the needle 😬😬
I read the side effect of acupuncture is vary so it’s not big deal.
But after couple hours, I didn’t not feel pain at all in my knee,
I took ibuprofen for almost a month to tackle my pain but after acupuncture, bye bye ibuprofen

This picture That I took when the second visit and my knee still stiff and rigid but less pain

Pros : he knew what he’s doing, insurance accepted, good massage, not expensive

Cons: almost none

He didn’t talk to much but he know what he will do according to ur complain.
So if u don’t like a quiet guys this is not place for u 😂😬

When I first arrived I didnt think much of the place as it looks like it is in need of some housekeeping. I have been suffering from a shoulder injury for over a year. I have done multiple sessions of Physical therapy and medical massage. Was still in pain because the pain relief wasn't lasting too long but after just one session I immediately felt the difference I went home and slept so good and had pain relief. This Dr is good and knowledgeable. I was nervous with it being my first time but he answered all my questions and put me at ease. I would definitely recommend him.

Amazing Acupuncturist! I came with bladder pain after having had a tumor removed. The urge of constant urination has decreased drastically and have had 1 session only.

Today is my 2nd session. He massages the entire back before applying the needles. He gets a feel of where to place the needles when massaging the upper, mid and lower back. He is very quiet and listens attentively.
I also brought my mother with me. She had been complaining of leg pain after having had a surgery in her broken leg…this man does wonders. My mom doesn’t have anymore pain.

We will continue visiting this place! So thankful to my friend who recommended him. Thank you Dr. Gao

This is J. Tom who is being regularly treated by Dr Gao. I have seen several acupuncturists through the years, some very good but Dr Gao is the rare practitioner who thoroughly applies finger and hand massage before using the needles which deems very effective. My original concern is a painful sciatica issue which has definitely improved with Dr Gao's help. In the interim, I was plagued by a terrible toothache and unable to eat or drink without pain for well over two months, Dr Gao successfully helped me through this. He is the best and I highly recommend him to anyone with persistant health issues. Thank you, Dr Gao

I called to set up an appt on Tues & was given an appt for Friday at 6. I was told I would be sent a text with the address and appt info, which never happened. When I showed up for my appt the door was locked, I knocked and no one answered.

Such a wonderful person. Knows exactly how to relieve pain, even finds trouble spots you didn't even realize you had.
