Doctor Henry Lee Acupuncture Clinic

Dr Lee is the best. I had fertility issues and I tried IVF, unsuccessful and I was told the quantity and the quality of the egg is poor. After getting acupuncture from Dr Lee for 3 months, I had a natural pregnancy! Dr Lee is also helping with my sister and my dad for different problems.

Dr. Lee is the best! I started seeing him for a shoulder tear/​injury which he provided almost immediate relief for… then I continued seeing him for fertility which eventually worked! He is very nice and has a positive attitude. You can tell that he truly cares and wants to help.
He is very popular and therefore, you must make an appointment in advance and sometimes even with an appointment you have to wait, but he is well worth it!

WARNING !
Lying receptionist!
I called to make an appointment and asked the receptionist if they accepted Kaiser.
She told me she would look into which Kaiser plan I had when I got there.
I drove all the way from San Mateo and filled out the paperwork and then she decides to tell me they don’t take any Kaiser.
I told her that I was told they did accept Kaiser and she said,
”who told you that?”
I said ”whoever answered the phone yesterday”
She just looked at me with a guilty face.
No integrity, and scummy business practices.

Doc Henry Lee gave me the best gift ever: a baby! I have see Doc Lee during my IVF treatment which resulted into a beautify baby girl. I loved the fact that he was always positive, even during the tough times of IVF. I truly believe that acupuncture made a huge difference during my treatment. Doc Lee was always available to answer all my questions. He had a thorough approach and always explained his treatment. Definitely recommend his services if you are trying to get pregnant.

He is my first accupunturist and I’m so thankful for his services. I first came to him for help with fertility. For those of you who have never tried accupuncture, I would highly recommend it especially with Dr. Lee! It doesn’t hurt and feels like someone basically tapping your skin.
Dr. Lee is gentle and has great bedside manners. He listens to all your concerns and helps make you feel better. He helped us get pregnant the first time. I continued to see him through my whole pregnancy and I had a wonderful pregnancy full of strength and no morning sickness! I was fully expecting to get morning sickness as I always get motion sickness and always throw up when I’ve had a little too much too drink. I attribute my amazing pregnancy and well-​being too Dr. Lee.
He is very busy and gets booked up fast so call ahead and schedule first.

I’ve gone to dr lee’s office in Oakland and now in mountain view. His office in oak is a bit bigger but either way he is always professional and speaks multiple languages which I think is very convenient. I go to dr lee for almost everything and always pleased with the result and the service.

I have to confess that I have a terrible phobia about needles and have always been skeptical of Eastern medicine even though I am Chinese. I am the last person that you would expect to be writing about acupuncture. I have been seeing Dr. Henry Lee for the past year and have been very happy about the quality of my health and improvement of my immune system. I have issues with severe allergies and an auto-​immune disorder. Dr. Lee is very knowledgeable about human anatomy and physiology. You won’t get some of that new-​age weirdness at this clinic. He approaches his treatments in a very clinical manner.
I have noticed considerable improvement in my immune system, decreased symptoms from my allergies and an significant increase in my body’s healing response to injuries. I even hopped in here one day unable to walk about slipping on the stairs and twisting my ankle severely. A hour and half and lots of needles later, the swelling in my foot and ankle was reduced significantly (at least 70%) and I could actually walk again without crippling pain and skip the planned visit to the doctor to get a script for crutches. The bruising took only four days to heal whereas I would have similar bruises last more than two weeks. My husband has had significant improvement in some old sports injuries and repetitive stress injuries.
Treatments generally take about 1 ½ to 2 hours and cost about $ 65 per visit (rates are increasing in May). This clinic does accept insurance which is helpful in keeping the costs down. The clinic does provide Chinese herbs which they don’t push on you. I can’t take those herbs anyways because I have a sulpher allergy. Dr. Lee is pretty preceptive about where your body and can tell if you are about to become sick. In fact, he asked me once if I had a sore throat after listening to my pulse. I replied no, but sure enough that night I came down with a sore throat and cold.
I have now since relocated to San Diego, and I truly miss having Dr. Lee is my acupuncturist.
Updated notes: I probably should have mentioned that this is a Chinese clinic. Be warned that the entire staff is Chinese and English is not always their first language. So, complex questions or help on the phone is not going to be easy. You are better off talking to them in person if you have questions because at least you can point to things. I avoid calling whenever possible and make my appointments in person when I can actually see the calendar.

I came to Dr. Lee when I was 4 days overdue as a recommendation from my midwife, Lin Lee at Bay Area Maternity (who is fabulous btw, if you are looking for a midwife). My baby was too high and hadn’t dropped, which was preventing me from going into labor. I called and explained that I was overdue and Dr Lee took fit me in the following day, despite a full schedule. I didn’t explain to him that the baby hadn’t dropped, all he knew was that I was overdue– after introducing himself he felt my pulse and my middle finger… he looked at me and said EXACTLY what Lin, my midwife, had told me the as well as what the ultrasound practitioner explained to me the day earlier. In addition, he told me I was having a girl (which was correct)! I was amazed… what was even more encouraging was that while I was at my first visit I could feel the baby dropping– my pants actually MOVED while I was getting my treatment. It took 5 treatments to put me into labor… I didn’t have to be induced! I also went in while I was in labor and Dr. Lee gave me a treatment that intensified the contractions, but shortened my labor overall.
He was very personable at all my visits and answered all of my many questions… in addition he gave me post-​partum advice and I learned that he gives babies acupuncture for a whole variety of ailments. He truly is an amazing doctor and I would recommend him to anyone, pregnant or not, for acupuncture!

Fishy medical billing. Assistant told me to pay $ 85 for my initial visit as she could not get through to my insurance. I was assured I would get the money back when my insurance pays Dr. Lee. After insurance made a substantial payment to Dr. Lee, no refund has been forthcoming, even after numerous phone calls to the office and faxing over the insurance payment information.
Dr. Lee makes some pretty amazing claims about his skills, but if his billing practices are any indication, I’d take the claims with a grain of salt.

My wife was referred to Dr. Lee by our chiropractor’s receptionist as she had received help from him. After the first two sessions I saw such a great improvement in my wife’s
condition that I decided to try Dr. Lee myself. I am very pleased with my treatments and I am finally feeling relief from years of nagging pain. Between my chiropractor and Dr. Lee I am more at ease and comfortable in my day to day living.
Dr. Lee started learning how to do acupuncture since he was 10 years old. His father and grandfather were his teachers. He said that as a child he didn’t like having to learn, but he is now very happy that he did because he is able to help so many people with their problems. The acupuncture process is quite interesting and Dr. Lee will answer any questions you ask about what he is doing and how it works. There is no pain when the needles are inserted, only the pressure sensation as Dr. Lee taps the needle in. I have felt a small tingle at times and Dr. Lee explained that is when he has hit a point of blockage. He also feels the mild zap in his finger and uses that as a reference point for treatment.
Once the needles are all in you get to relax for about 45 minutes in complete comfort and quiet. I have taken mindfulness meditation training and this resting period is very similar to that mediation in helping you to de-​stress, relax and heal.
His office is right on the El Camino Real in Mt. View and yet the rooms are so quiet and peaceful, you don’t hear the outside world or even the other patients.
Dr. Lee is like our old style family doctor who sat and listened to us expalin what ailed us and then helped fix our problems.

His officer staff is courteous and those ladies will figure out your insurance for you. They also call to remind you of your appointment, very helpful. Dr. Henry Lee himself is very nice and personable, plus he’s a good listener. This is crucial to finding out what really ails you. He did help to get rid of some pain I had in my left side when I pulled some muscles but the best session I had was when I had a migraine for days and he got rid of it. I barely mentioned the migraine but he put needles in my head for it. I still get freaked out by needles and will chatter on aimlessly to get my own mind off of the needles (btw, it’s not painful to have needles put in) so I have some interesting factoids to put here:
1) This is a family business. His grandfather passed this on to his dad and his dad to him. Dr. Lee starter learning this at age 5 in Taiwan.
2) The family invented their own way of doing this. I noticed right away it was different. He said they came up with their own method and the machine that he uses? It is his own family’s invention.
3) His grandfather used to have to pull on each needle before the machine to stimulate those needles. He used longer needles to compensate. Think I am making this up? Ask Dr. Lee this next time you are there :-)
Don’t be scared by the machine or the needles. I am a big baby trust me on this… and I can handle it. It’s worth having less pain.

Do you have a health problem of any kind? Then I recommend you go to Dr. Lee. He is amazing.
I was suffering from stomach pain which my usually wonderful western doctor could not help me with. The pain had been almost non-​stop for two weeks, but within 12 hours of my first treatment with Dr. Lee I started to feel better. Two weeks later I am completely healed.
Dr. Lee is very kind and a good listener. He doesn’t just fix the problem, he also explains it and gives advice you can use outside of treatments. I found the price reasonable, too: $ 85 for the initial consultation and $ 65 for follow up visits. Of course, I would have been willing to pay anything to get rid of the pain.
If there is a downside to the practice it is that Dr. Lee is extremely busy. His evening appointments are almost always totally booked, so I’ve had to come in during work hours. Although it is more than worth the time and effort, he does run 15 – 20 minutes late during the day, so be prepared to wait.
That being said, I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful Dr. Lee is. Do not hesitate to call him if you have a medical issue that cannot be solved with western medecine.

I came down with the flu a couple of weeks ago. It has been a very long time since I felt this sick and have a very demanding work schedule so I was panicked when I spent 3 days in bed and still felt terrible monday morning. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Lee and within a couple of hours after my treatment I was feeling almost 100%. He really is amazing!

Not sure where to start…
I can’t thank Dr. Lee enough for what he has done to help my husband and I get pregnant, the natural way. We now have a healthy baby girl. After going through tons of invasive treatments with my western doctor, I knew my body was far from ready to conceive. We were referred to Dr. Lee from a friend who also had fertility issues but was also successful in having multiple children under his guidance. This was the best decision we have made in regards to starting a family. I was seeing doctor Lee twice a week for the 1^st month and once a week after. By the third month I was pregnant. It has almost been 1 year since I have been going to Dr. Lee and now he is now treating me to help recover fully from my pregnancy. I highly recommend anyone to Dr. Lee who is having trouble with fertility issues. Go see him before taking any harsh hormone treatments as you and your body will not regret it!

He eased my pain when Western medicine could only give me narcotics. Charming, kind.

Pro: Clean place, lots of parking and most important, Dr Lee is a good listerner.
Con: his clinic is out of network for me thus I have to pay out of my pocket.

I had a friend who recommended Dr. Lee to me. She had nothing but great things to say about him so I thought I might check him out.
Dr. Lee is very nice and very professional. He definitely knows what he is doing and it’s obvious he loves and cares for what he does.
The facility is simple… nothing fancy. I was taken to a room for a consultation with him first and then a 40 minutes acupuncture session. It was very relaxing and I fell asleep. He gave me some advice as well and recommended I come back every week.
The prices are a bit higher then I would have liked to have paid.
$ 70-​$ 80 for a regular acupuncture session
$ 100 for infertility acupuncture session
As much as I loved to continue to see Dr. Lee, I just cannot afford to see him for $ 100 a session.
Aside from that his staff is very professional and the facility is clean. I highly recommend him if your budget can afford that.
Also, he has a 70% success rate for helping women get pregnant with acupuncture!

I originally went to see Dr. Lee to help me with a sore neck. After going to him just a few times I was able to turn my head without any pain. I have not had any problems with it ever since. I have also seen Dr. Lee for my allergies and after a period of time they have not bothered me either. I am presently seeing Dr. Lee to get pregnant with my third child. Dr. Lee definitely makes you feel like you are not alone and that he is with you every step of the way. I feel so much better after talking to him about my concerns. He always has a positive outlook on everything, which is what I like about him. I have gone to a few other acupuncturists and he is the best! I would highly recommend him!

I went to Dr Henry Lee to help me get pregnant naturally after trying on our own without any success. Within no time, I was pregnant. I enjoyed the experience of having such a positive supporter in my journey and a fertility coach to help with timing and implantation. I know without Dr. Henry Lee, I would have been in the IVF path which would have been invasive, clinical and expensive. I wished I had known about acupuncture, and more specifically about Dr. Lee, before trying to get pregnant. I didn’t know about the possibility of getting the body ready for pregnancy. I only knew about «infertility» resources. To have a personal advocate to fine tune our chances of fertility is unique and a valuable resource.
