Rapha Acupuncture and Herbs

Dr Wu is a very kind, caring Doctor! One time my mom had a really bad cold. She felt really cold and couldn’t sweat even though she was covered by many comforters. I was really worried so I called dr Wu around 8pm, and describe what happened, she told me to make some ginger soup for my mom, and let her drink it. After my mom drink the soup, she started to sweat and felt much better. Thank you, dr Wu! The best Chinese acupuncture dr in Arcadia!

Dr. Wu is a honest and professional doctor who truly care for her patients. As a regular patient at Rapha, I feel that she always consider from my perspective and gives recommendation that’s good for me. She and her staff are loving and down to the earth. Highly recommended!

Very smart lady, lots of tcm knowledge in her head.
Didnt want to repeat what other said… such as kind, caring, sweet…
but that’s exactly the first impression I had when I first saw her.
I don’t live around the area so I can’t get to visit the clinic often, so i recommend her to my friends and family that lives in LA.

Dr. Wu is a very kind caring & loving doctor. I had 8 postpartum sessions (2 months long) at her practice, and every single experience was worthy of my one hour drive. She addressed all my issues with TLC :) Thank you, Dr. Wu for making me a very healthy & happy mother of 2. I definitely recommend Dr. Wu to anyone!

Dr. Wu is very very nice and sweet. My son is 7 months and suffered from severe eczema since he was born, I have tried soooo many products that claimed to cure eczema but found no result, I even applied hydrocortisone 2.5% but still did not find big improvement. One day I met Dr. Wu and got the eczema cream from her, guess what, one night, just one night, my son’s eczema got much much much better!!! I was super happy and almost cried out loud with my husband as it’s been seven months we’ve seen him suffered, scratches to bleed, scarred and back scratching again, seriously, I can’t imagine if I did not meet Dr. Wu what would it be like??? Thank you Dr. Wu for creating such a mild herbal eczema miracle cream!!!

In Jan I started having pain in my right hand, all research && test, led to carpel tunnel syndrome.
My neurologist prescribed me with anti-​inflammatory meds which by the way didn’t help one bit.
I’ve always been curious about «healing needles» I did my research && decided to give it a try, what can I loose?
After 5 treatments my hand discomfort has absolutely lessened.
I’m beyond excited to see my body heal the way it’s suppose to naturally!
PS.
Shelly’s hand is very light, trust me, you’re in good hands ;)

Clean acupuncture clinic, friendly, would go again, doctor was nice to show me everything and explain in laymen terms.

I used to have some stomach pain time after time, especially when I didn’t eat at the right time I supposed to have food. After Dr. Wu’s help, I feel so much better. I definitely make myself eat at the right time, but sometimes if there is something doesn’t allow me to do so, I don’t have this stomach pain like before. She is also a very caring doctor. Love her so much :)

After the first time, I already saw a big difference on my face. I also got a lot of compliment. The best thing about this skin/​body detox package is you can clean your skin and body inside out in the natural herb-​y way. Dr. Wu is a very nice and gentle doctor. She will do the needle acupuncture in the softest way. All the product that I used from her also is amazing. You cannot go anywhere to buy any products with that kind of price. ONLY HERE at Rapha! Highly recommend!

It’s been a year since I wrote my first review after my first visit to see her. I have been seeing her for a long time now and I don’t really want to get into the super nitty gritty details of what I have been going through, but I have to say that I am so THANKFUL and beyond GRATEFUL to have found Dr. Wu. She LITERALLY saved my life. I thank God, the Universe, and the Heavens every day that I was able to find her last year.
I know this sounds so dramatic, but I have lived most of my life doing a lot of things, burning myself out, and overloading my entire life with too many activities and stress and it really caught up to me a few years back along with some other really personal unfortunate issues. I was pretty sure I was going to die and my western doctor treatments were really not doing it. I literally didn’t sleep for a year.
I came here as a last hope and it was a miracle. It’s a miracle because Dr. Wu is the whole package, which is SO hard to find these days. The whole package includes:
1) A COMPASSIONATE doctor — one who truly seems to care about your well being and getting you to 100% health. She also explains in detail and will answer your questions if you have them. If you are afraid of needles she will be extra gentle with you. She is super grounded and respectful.
2) An HONEST and TRUSTWORTHY doctor — one who you can trust has YOUR best interests in mind. She doesn’t string you along with more visits just so she can make money. She gives you the treatment you need and when you are healthy you can go home and just come see her to say hi!
3) An EMPATHETIC doctor — you can talk to her honestly about what you are going through so she can give you the best treatment. She won’t judge you. She is soft, and kind. I have seen other acupuncturists before but I really needed someone who was kind during my state. I didn’t want to keep seeing doctors that were harsh in the speech or gave advice in a way that was not helpful. A lot of times the best care is the one you get from someone that doesn’t make you feel like you are worthless and that your life is just a shambles. She uplifts you, she provides that extra layer of care that people seek psychologists for but often still never receive.
4) A TALENTED doctor — She delivers results! I know where I was at a year ago and compared to then, there has been some serious results. I have introduced a lot of people since then and I know among all these people there are results. If you have eczema problems she can definitely help, if you have detox, toxic build up, muscle pain, sprained body parts, she can help. If you want to lose weight, get rid of acne, fix your menstrual problems, get pregnant, infertility problems, other skins problems, allergies, she can do all of that. If you can’t sleep, have hormone/​emotional issues, depression, she can help with all of that too. Definitely if you have issues you just can’t fix and the western doctors just give you some pain killers and say there is nothing wrong with you, but you just don’t FEEL WELL, try acupuncture, you may find out the solution to your problems.
5) A GREAT ENVIRONMENT — Her clinic is soft and unimposing. She plays music (like at a spa) during your treatment, she dims the lights so its soft, and you can sometimes actually fall asleep during the treatment. The only bad thing is the walls are thin but once the music is on you can’t really hear the kids in the business next door (tutoring).
6) INSURANCE — she will help bill your insurance if you have one that covers acupuncture. There are some places that don’t take insurance at all, so this is a plus.
THANK YOU SO MUCH RAPHA ACUPUNCTURE!

Doctor Wu is really professional and friendly. Clean and bright clinic facility and the people who work there are really friendly and helpful.
I highly recommend!

Dr. Wu is super caring and very professional! I have been suffering with really bad acne for years and visited few doctors had no results but got worse! after I visit Dr. Wu and start few treatment it got so much better! I can see the results! My body overall feels much better! I really hate taking medication and pills with chemicals. But her treatment is very natural and use natural herbs (good tasty herbs) to help our body heal naturally! I highly recommend Dr. Wu to everyone!

I visited the clinic to relieve my fever and coughing problem, and had the acupuncture experience for the first time. Dr. Wu is very professional and friendly, I was afraid of needle at first but Dr. Wu done it very well I almost doesn’t feel too much pain. The room environment setting is very fresh, modern and comfortable to be at, the background music is soothing as well. She makes sure my fever was reduced down before I left the clinic. After I finished with the medicine Dr. Wu give me my coughing problem was also dramatically reduced, before I would cough for a month long when I get flu but this time I was healed within a few days! I would highly recommend Dr. Wu to my friends!

The doctor at Rapha is very knowledgeable and has a great bed side manner. I visited a few times for various joint injuries and blood chi deficiency. All of my visits had the same friendly service and skillful acupuncture.
I REALLY REALLY dislike needles but the doctor was patient and put me at ease. I also like that the diagnosis was informed by both modern western and traditional eastern medical knowledge.

Dr. Wu is awesome. She is really patient and takes the time to listen to YOU. She takes the time to answer your questions and concerns and then she explains her plan for treatment. It’s rare to find a doctor who is willing to walk their patients through step by step.
She is also very good with the acupuncture needle. I feel very comfortable at Rapha clinic and really felt like I’ve found a doctor who genuinely cares about my wellbeing.
Johny at the front desk is also such a gentleman — so friendly and courteous.
I feel Rapha clinic is a new age chinese doctor clinic. Really a transformational experience.
By the way, did I say Dr. Wu is awesome?

Dr. Wu is the most professional and very kind acupuncture doctor in the area. She is very detail and very patience to exam what I need each appointment. She speaks English and Chinese fluently, therefore my grandmother loves to go there, and always feel pampered at Rapha. John works at the front desk is also very helpful and friendly, they make me feel comfortable to visit the clinic. I highly recommend everyone to go and give a try. #bestintown #rapha #acupuncture Dr. Shelly Wu is the most professional Chinese Medicine doctor in town.

I have been coming here for about 10 months now, and Dr. Wu is AMAZING!!! She is always so kind and attentive so you feel comfortable, and for those who cringe at the sight of needles, she is a pro at the process! The results I have received within the 10 months has been amazing as well, and I continue to see her because she has made me transform my perception of acupuncture from a medical procedure to a form of wellness and health!
I highly recommend her to anyone: she saw me for a long-​term endocrine illness but she also treats skin and any problems because I’ve had a lot of others along the way!
Dr. Wu is so sweet and knowledgeable, her office and supplies are always extremely clean and immaculate, and her staff will make you feel welcome and secure. She will make you believe in holistic treatment if you haven’t before!!! :)

As a person that enjoys golfing, my allergy and lower back often keep me from playing 18. Dr Wu was recommended to me for my allergy. After five treatments, I did not need to use my usual tissue paper to finish 18 this weekend. Now it’s time to have Dr. Wu treat my lower back.
p. s. like her new location in Downtown Arcadia.

I first went to Dr. Shelly when I had my lower back injured during a baseball game and she gave me acupuncture treatment that was very effective. I went from not able to do much movement to feeling normal the next morning. She also gave me advices on what to eat and what not to eat to help the healing process not only on my back but also about my nasal and stomach allergy.
Over all, she made me feel that she’s compassionate about her patients and she was willing to answer almost all questions i had.
I will definitely recommend her and she is my first choice of Chinese Medicine Doctor.

Never realize acupuncture works THIS WELL!!! and Yes, it was my first time trying acupuncture.
I waited for a week to write this review. because i want to tell the real result. Please excuse me if its too much info below. I just want to make this review useful to u.
I went to Dr. Wu for serious allergic reaction on my face and also eczema on my legs, plus constipation.*_*
after the first treatment. Dr. Wu told me that i should feel the result slowly, at night my itchiness on my face has lowered to 6. it was 10 so itchy that i couldnt sleep. and the second day lowered to 2ish. and the 3^rd day is was not itchy anymore. and my allergy start making scab, even my eczema. its amazing, never expect my eczema actually stop itching and scab so fast.
and today i went back for the 2^nd treatment with my tummy problem. I couldnt poop regularly. it make my stomach look so super huge and i have roughly 3 people ask me if i am pregnant everyday. i was so frustrated and i massaged my tummy daily, tried to eat a lil healthier. nothing helped. 10 minutes after my treatment. I felt that i want to go to the restroom, and i did… amaze ball… lollll…its been so long… lol…yes, i am very happy and satisfy with Dr. Wu. She might seem a lil young and too pretty for a acupuncture and herb doctor, but she got her thangs together! I am just so glad that I met her.
I am still going back for my tummy treatments… when you go visit. u could request my pic from Dr. Wu, you can see the crazy difference in few days~
