Su Chyang Acupuncture - San Gabriel, California

Winnie S.

I’m currently returning to Su Chyuan to give myself a little boost at losing more weight and to achieve my target. I first came to see Dr Chang about 10 years ago in my mid 20s and I’ve successfully lost almost 35 lbs and went from a size 10 to a healthy size 6. Although the business is now passed down to Dr Chang’s granddaughter - Irene, the care and attentive services provided are excellent as I remembered.

Give this place a try if you want a little boost! You’ll barely feel the acupuncture needle at all. Irene can be reached easily via call or text. And she always accommodates my schedule.

I've passed by this clinic literally hundreds of times and was always intrigued. One day I called left a message, and was later provided a number to call for assistance in English. Irene was super helpful on the initial call to schedule a free consultation in-person. At the consultation, she explained the treatment, diet, potential for results, and cost of services and packages clearly. Over many visits, I've enjoyed her professionalism, candor, and practical advice for weight loss. I don't really understand the science behind the acupuncture treatment, but it is very different here than from others I've tried. It feels effective, like it's helping to improve my digestion, circulation, and overall health. The weight loss is fairly steady and I am back to my pre-pregancies weight. It's been only a few pounds so far but I've noticed a big change in my body shape.

Package pricing is better than paying for each session individually, and probably helps with results since it promotes regular visits. Irene mentioned the treatment is more effective if you visit 2-3 times a week, so that might be something to consider and plan for. I went 2 times per week. Parking is convenient in a lot at the back of the shop with a back lobby entrance. The sessions are about 30 minutes to an hour, but I would say plan for the hour. Irene is considerate in adjusting the frequency of the current, lighting, temperature, and music to make sure you are comfortable. I find the sessions to be a good time to relax, although I have spent most sessions on my phone handling business which I was grateful to be able to do.

I was really worried that this was another one of those weight loss programs where the secret sauce is being shamed mercilessly during weigh-in once or twice a week until you are scared skinny until you end treatment and gain it all back. Unfortunately, I've seen that to be the case for many clinics, both Asian and western. This isn't that at all! Irene is understanding, supportive, encouraging, and kind. This is her family's business that she obtained all the proper education and training to continue, and you can really tell she takes pride and care in her practice.

My first encounter with Irene for my consultation was easygoing and straightforward. She was honest about what treatments would help and what wouldn't. She was open with her own experiences and is a very knowledgeable processional. This was my first encounter with Acupuncture in general and I have never been a fan of needles. Flash forward to my first visit. A nervous person by nature, I was encouraged and comforted by Irene as she walked me through what could be expected and communicated very well through each step. It didnt even hurt! Now for the main thing everyone is wondering! Yes, the weight loss is real! I lost a total of 30lbs starting from December to March. I have since kept the weight off and am currently in "maintenance" mode. I highly encourage anyone curious or just willing to try something new to reach out to Irene for a consultation. You won't regret it! 🙂

Seriously one of the best decision was to come here for weight loss! I've always been a bit over weight and I've tried all kind of diets from pills, to diet fads, and medical spas. None really was as easy and effective as the techniques that is used here. They've been around a while and the granddaughter Irene has taken over the business. She is so kind and patient. At first I thought it was needles all over your body. Actually it was only one needle that you can't even feel and then vibrating pads placed along points on your body. There's packages for multiple sessions. I've been going for two months and already lost almost 10 pounds without exercising or starving myself (of course I think it'll be faster if I did incorporate exercise). It's not a miracle one time kind of thing but honestly it's the easiest weight loss I've experienced and I don't feel bloated. Make sure to leave a message when you call because sometimes she doesn't pick up when she is busy

I tried Su Chyang acupuncture after I reading the reviews. Irene was so nice and patient. She instructed in details regarding how to eat and what to drink. The way to loose weight was easy to follow. I totally lost around 12lbs within three months. More than important, I had rashes over last three years since I got the vaccine. It’s been very painful for me because it was so itchy all over my body. I tried allergy medication, allergy specialist, herb medication and other types of acupuncture but nothing seems helpful. But during the treatment in Su Chyang, my rashes were all gone now. I don’t suffer from this problem any more. And it’s less scary than other acupuncture because it’s way less needles. I will maintain the maintenance session and make sure my body condition stay the same. The atmosphere there makes me so relaxed. It’s a very relaxed while helpful acupuncture place to go to.
