Dr Meng is very thorough and caring. She explains the procedures every step of the way--a nice approach to patients who have not done acupuncture before. Highly recommend.

Wow if I could ask for Dr. Meng to be my primary doctor I totally would! I actually met Dr. Meng through a referral from my attorney following an auto accident. I've been able to leave feeling way more healthier and in less pain, she really values every session and educates you on other areas of health to focus on improving. She is passionate about medicine and she really knows her stuff! During my treatments I felt so much better in so many aspects, my blood pressure has been going down, my sleep has been better, my back pain feels more comfortable, and my headaches have gone away.

I hurt my back working out. Saw Dr. Meng with gr8 reviews on yelp.... so I decided to give her a try. After 5 sessions... I gave up on her & decided to try another acupuncturist. In just 2 visits with this other acupuncturist, my back pain is gone & the tingling on my left quad's 70% gone. Gonna go for my 3rd session next week & I'm confident I'll be good to go. I'm giving Dr. Meng 2 star (instead of 1 star) because she is professional, gentle & always on time. Can't give her any higher score because she did not cure any of my issues after 5 sessions

Dr. Meng is an absolute gem. She has treated various members of my family for various conditions (chronic back pain, shoulder injury, neck injury, breast cancer, hormonal issues, acne, toxicity and gut issues to great success. My husband and I have also recommended countless friends to her whom she has also helped successfully. She was an OB/GYN in China were she practiced acupuncture as well, so her knowledge is vast. She is super thorough and she cares so much. I cannot recommend her enough.

I was in a car accident several months back and suffered 3 disc protrusions. Like most treatments it takes time and repetition for the body to respond. After the 3 or 4th session I've noticed less aches in frequency and severity. I'm 8 sessions in and this is the closest I've felt to 100% since my accident. Dr Meng is a healing pro!

My experience of Dr. Meng is that she is humble, efficient, and of course, knowledgeable. She has a gentle presence and bedside manner. This is my 5th appointment with her and I have left every time feeling taken care of and RELIEF from my neck/shoulder pain due to an auto accident. There's no hard sell and she makes the most of your appt time (less talking = more treatment time). That's my personal preference. I also like that she had experience practicing as an OB/GYN to go with Chinese Medicine (Western & Eastern medicine). To me, acupuncture is another modality for healing
