Patient Testimonials — Holistic Healing Redefined

“I'd highly recommend HOPE to anyone who might be scared of acupuncture.”

As a former hip hop dancer turned competitive weightlifter, all those years finally caught up to me. I was struggling with chronic knee pain for a few months. After already seeing a few other doctors, a friend of mine spoke highly of Dr. Lu and encouraged me to see him (Shout out to Son). After the first 1-2 visits, Dr. Lu was already suspecting it may be a meniscus tear, which is a testament to his knowledge and experience! An MRI from my doctor later confirmed Dr. Lu's initial speculations–it was, in fact, a torn medial meniscus!
Through continued acupuncture and physical therapy treatments, pain and swelling decreased, and I slowly improved my strength and mobility.
I'm truly grateful for Dr. Lu and his amazing staff! Everyone is super friendly, personable, and genuinely care about your progress and improvement. Since seeing Dr. Lu, I recently got knee surgery and may consider revisiting. I'd highly recommend HOPE to anyone who might be on-the-fence about acupuncture. They've been such a tremendous blessing!

“My experience was outstanding, and I highly recommend Dr. Lu and his clinic.”

I recently had a lengthy hospital stay for a ruptured brain aneurysm; I requested that opiates not be used for pain management as I wanted zero chance of developing a dependency on painkillers. The hospital care team referred me to Dr. James Lu as a potential candidate for acupuncture for pain relief. The acupuncture treatments primarily focused on back/neck pain; also helped improve balance, sleep, short-term memory, and urinary urgency. I also received physical therapy at Dr. Lu’s clinic.
Dr. Lu is professional, friendly, and highly skilled. He listens carefully and communicates in an easy to understand manner. Dr. Lu’s staff is outstanding. Each person is extremely friendly, professional, kind, and helpful. I feel safe under the care of the entire team knowing that I receive excellent care. My experience was/is outstanding, and I highly recommend Dr. Lu and his clinic.

“We’re excited to continue treatment at his new clinic which is simply gorgeous.”

Dr.Lu is such an amazing doctor who is kind, exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced. He began treating my mother with acupuncture and physical therapy in 2019 for right hemiplegia due to a stroke and she made great progress under his care.
While under his care she regained strength, mobility and improvement in speech.
We’re excited to continue treatment at his new clinic which is simply gorgeous, very clean and a extremely welcoming environment with professional staff.
I would highly recommend Dr.Lu if you want personalized care by a compassionate, skilled doctor who delivers results and does all he can for his patients.

“I am happy to give the highest rating possible to Dr. Lu and his practice.”

I am happy to give the highest rating possible to Dr. Lu and his practice. I have had neuropathy for years and had been repeatedly told by my neurologist that nothing could be done to slow or reverse the deterioration it was causing. My lack of feeling in my feet had progressed to the point where I was seriously questioning my ability to drive safely and was trying to figure ways to cope with that issue, even looking at electric tricycles. A friend recommended Dr. Lu, and although I was a non-believer in acupuncture I was desperate enough to give it a try. IT WORKED! After four treatments I was greatly and pleasantly surprised to find that feeling had returned to my feet, my balance has greatly improved, and there is no more thought about giving up driving.
Dr. Lu’s success with my neuropathy is not the only reason for my five star rating. The physical therapist I am working with has listened well, has given me new exercises, and has given me ways to improve the effectiveness of the exercises I have been doing. An added plus is that the staff is the most friendly and welcoming group I have encountered during my rather extensive medical history.

“Each session includes acupuncture followed by physical therapy.”

My husband suffered a stroke which affected his right side. It was an unknown and scary time for both of us. He was introduced to Dr. Lu at Mission Oaks Acute Rehab Center. Once he was released, we started seeing Dr. Lu with weekly visits to his office. Dr. Lu and his rehab staff are so friendly, positive and encouraging. They are all very knowledgeable when it comes to physical therapy. Each session includes acupuncture followed by physical therapy. My husband's first visit was in a wheel chair and he is now able to walk into the office using a cane, however, he continues to need work on his right arm and hand.
The office staff are very accommodating and will go out of their way to schedule appointments around our busy schedule plus they provide weekly reminders of our upcoming appointments.
The office is clean and comfortable and the equipment is wiped down after each use. I highly recommend Hope Neuro-Acupuncture Rehab.

“The acupuncture from Dr. Lu has really helped in reducing the pain”

I have been going to see Dr. Lu and his team for the past 5 months. I had been having lower back pain from a car accident, and I had never previously had any back related issues before then. As a first timer, I had been searching for a place to get treated and I'm lucky to have found Hope Neuro-Acupuncture Rehab. Immediately upon contacting and speaking with Phoenix I felt comfortable and well taken care of.
The acupuncture from Dr. Lu has really helped in reducing the pain in my lower back and the PT sessions have been focused on strengthening my core as well as stretching within the shoulder to back region. With the combination of the two, I have been getting stronger and seeing so much improvement in my daily life since the accident. Dr. Lu has been awesome to work with. He is very skilled, professional and is always really understanding.
I really appreciate that the entire team is always so friendly, knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to treat their patients like family. Each of the PTs have been amazing to work with. So some quick shoutouts, thank you Kendra for always being so kind and making me feel comfortable especially doing PT for the first time. Austin for always giving sound advice and being supportive during the sessions. David for keeping the sessions fun but challenging. Son for always pushing me to give my 110% to help in continuing to grow my strength.
