Frances Wang Acupuncture

Dr. Wang is hands down the best there is. If you need acupuncture, there is NO OTHER.
I am so honored to have received treatment from her for a triangular fiber cartilage tear (tfc tear). She healed me and I was able to get back to competitive golfing. Thank you Dr. Wang!

Dr. Wang is amazing. My back has been hurting for weeks and a single appointment felt immediate relief. I went the following week with only minimal pain in my back and now feel none at all. Shes very intuitive and exceptionally skilled. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Wang is amazing! She has been helping me through my recovery from a broken ankle and the surgery to repair it. I have been seeing her weekly for a month, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with how quickly the pain has decreased and the ease of movement has returned. This is my first experience with acupuncture, and it has been a great one. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a new acupuncturist or curious about giving acupuncture a try for the first time.

Outstanding acupuncturist! Listens well and helped reduce my chronic daily pain! Highly recommend this doctor!

I love Dr. Wang. I have suffered with severe migraine headaches for over twenty five years. I take medication that is most of the time effective, but leaves me sluggish, constipated and unable to sleep. Since seeing Dr. Wang, while my headaches have not gone, they are stabilized. The acupuncture treatments relieve my constipation, make me able to sleep and give me a sense of aliveness and of not feeling «victimized» by my condition. She has given me back a quality of life. I am forever grateful. I also love her assistant Nancy Fang, they are a great team. –Deanie
Dr. Wang is a wonderful doctor and healer. I came to her with pain in my back and down the right side of my body. I thought it was arthritis. Dr. Wang got right to the source of the problem, and after her treatment I am so much better. Later I had stomach pain that I couldn’t get rid of. After one treatment it was gone. I have had mild stomach pain throughout my life. If I have pain in the future I will go right back. She has years of experience as a physician and acupuncturist and she can hone right in on the problem. She and her assistant are very caring and dedicated. –Happi

Dr. Wang is the best! I’m a long-​time believer in the power of acupuncture but over the years I’ve found that so many practitioners are really into all the new age nonsense. They’ve had me hold crystals in my hands, put them on my head and feet, burned incense, rang bells… all that other BS and finally, I had enough of the dog and pony show. Thankfully, traditional Chinese doctors don’t do any of that — and we’re all the better for it!
Dr. Wang has been practicing acupuncture for more than 50 years — and she has a great medical pedigree to boot. She’s an MD [Nephrologist] who worked at UCLA for more than 40 years. She has retired from her MD practice and now focuses solely on acupuncture. Personally I like that she holds both degrees. Her office is old-​school and very basic with treatment rooms side by side. There’s not a ton of privacy [in case this is an issue for you] but it never bothered me. She’s always busy and every time I leave there’s always at least one person waiting to see her. You can easily tell her patients are loyal and they adore her. She is always available by phone for her patients seven days a week. She’s a lovely, warm and caring person. What more could you ask for? She also accepts insurance. HIGHLY recommended!

Dr. Wang has been a life-​saver, and has gone above and beyond the call of duty for me. She’s been an angel. After several surgeries, and no relief from the pain, I picked up again with Dr. Wang and I’m finally beginning to feel some relief from the pain. I highly recommend her to anyone who has any health issues, as she has helped me through a few big ones, and given me relief when no other doctor could. I love this woman!

A few years ago I was hit from behind on my motorcycle on 101 and despite being pinned under my bike, I managed to walk away with only large bruises and major muscle strain my lower back. After having no luck with the chiropractor I decided to give acupuncture a go and met with Dr Wang. Thanks to her (and Phở Siam), the back issues were gone in a few weeks.
Although she may come off a bit prickly at first, she cares about her patients. She also prescribes dietary changes and Chinese herbs, but I haven’t used those services. Also, if you need a posh office with piped-​in muzak, ferns, and glossy magazines in the waiting room, this is not the place. What you will get is no nonsense service. Insurance accepted; otherwise cash.
