Youfeng Yvonne Chen, LAc

I have been always returning to Youfeng for general strength building, acute and chronic pain or just maintenance when I can. She is the best, most experienced, kind and nurturing acupuncturist I have ever found. She doesn’t hesitate to talk with you about whatever question or concern you have. She has helped me so much over the years, she’s such an inspiration!

I have visited several other acupuncturists in the past years and HANDS DOWN Youfeng Chen is the VERY BEST. Her results are fabulous. I am lucky my insurance does cover her for 20 visits a year and she does not abuse those visits. I would refer anyone and everyone to her ANY TIME! THE BEST!!!

I’m pretty sure she’s a miracle worker, but my insurance won’t cover acupuncture, or miracles, so I have to settle for «improvement but not awe-​inspiring miracuosity» at AIMC in Berkeley instead of the treatments I could get here.
Okay, E, so how bad is this? When I went last year, $ 150 consult/​first apt., $ 85 subsequent visits, plus herbal tea mixes were $ 7/​day.
Again, ain’t got no money. If I went here I wouldn’t have no money to take you on a date. If you where an acupuncturist, I’d be your perfect soulmate…
(But she does take insurance, so if you are hooked up with the right program, she may be your soulmate)
Anyway…I came here dealing with lingering pain issues (bad enough that the Kaiser docs gave me painkillers, ineffective PT, and a fabulous note essentially declaring that I have a disabilty) and the usual, ongoing since I was 16 allergy issues, so I had nothing to loose to try acupuncture, and I literally woke up the morning after my first appointment feeling like a new person.
Second appointment was also pretty fabulous, or as fabulous as being a human pincushion can be, and then my ability to pay the $ 85 plus herbs ended. I now see student acupuncturists at AIMC in Berkeley, but it seems to take multiple appointments to get the same amount of relief, plus the quality varies.
