“Jon first listened and was very thoughtful about his approach to an athletic injury. It was very helpful even after just the first treatment.”View review on Google
Yelp
“I've visited with Dr. Kao since last year for gyn issues. I've seen acupuncturists in the past. She is the first one I've consulted for a woman-specific condition. For me, her work was exceptional and skillful. She advised me on nutrition and gave me effective and precise acupuncture. Dr. Kao was knowledgable, empathetic and a good listener. Of course, bedside manner is also effective in healing work. I understand that underlying conditions can't be fixed overnight.”View review on Yelp

“I had never experienced acupuncture before and didn’t know what it was all about but the staff and Acupuncturists are so down to earth and experienced that I was put at ease right away. The receptionist is also welcoming, cheerful, and considerate. I saw Jon Diskin regularly for pain and swelling in my ankle. He really does have a gentle manner and is so knowledgeable about ways to get blood circulating so that swelling becomes much less. Also some of the excruciating pain has lessened measurably.”View review on Google
