I find Dr Jin's acupuncture services, to be the best I have ever encountered. I tried acupuncture with 3 other doctors, including John Bastyr Naturopathic College, and it wasn't helpful or was even painful. Often the doctors seemed unable to articulate how Chinese medicine works.
After having high blood pressure 7 years ago, a friend AND a doctor recommended Dr Li Jin for acupuncture. What a good experience I have had! Not only did my blood pressure go down, but she would, at the same visit, work on my long suffering arthritic knee pain. She is so thoughtful, respectful, and a great listener with an amazing bedside manner. She always explains the how and why of what she's doing, and I have learned many things about Chinese medicine, including about eating more correctly to keep me healthy. Occasionally I would buy their inexpensive herbs (compared to other alternative practitioners), but usually she gave advice that involved a lifestyle change.
Additionally, it gives me so much security and confidence, knowing the training that both Dr Jin and Dr Su have; they were schooled and trained in China for several years, then worked in Israel and the U.S. I feel so honored and lucky to have discovered them.
Even though I healed enough not to go anymore, I've recommended family, friends, and even strangers to go to her, because her care was so successful for me. They went to her, experienced the same high level of care and then recommended her to others.
Although I moved 30 miles north of the new clinic, This past year I returned because I was in a car accident, with knee injuries and a concussion. She has been the most useful healer of all the necessary doctors I am seeing! My MD, knows of her skills and reputation, and is delighted with how she has participated in my continued healing. I travel weekly by bus, in order to see her.
There is one needed change that occurred since my return to her care. Previously there was office staff who were often distracted, late and unavailable, frequently forgetting to remind me of upcoming appointments, as I had requested. After moving to their present office housed below the Sports Medicine Clinic in Ballard, they changed/added to their reception staff in August. Not only, are they always there, but they are focused and available, staying on top of insurance issues,( useful to me), and behaving professionally.
Now, I recommend Dr. Jin and Dr Su, with the...
Read moreI have only been a patient of Dr. Su's for a few weeks and already he has changed my life. I had been suffering with adult acne for months. I tried everything from changing my diet and skincare routine to removing all of the chemicals from my home. I even made an effort to see different doctors to get second/third opinions; they all told me I should go on Accutane and were unsure as to the cause of the acne. The first day I sat in the doctors office with Dr. Su, he looked at me and said "you've got toxic heat in your body -- it's trying to escape through your skin". Since then, I've been getting acupuncture twice weekly. He also has me on tablets/tea/cream.
The first photo below was taken the day of my first treatment, as you can see my face is very inflamed and irritated. The second photo was taken only three days later. Of course, I have a small bit of makeup on but you can clearly see the difference. I cannot recommend Dr. Su and his team enough. Wonderful people with a wonderful practice who genuinely care about...
Read moreI have dealt with eczema my entire life. I had such a bad flare up in 2020 that I was off work for a month and a half and did some research and finally found Dr. Su. I went to one naturopath and she looked scared for me and what she prescribed didn't help at all. But Dr. Su almost smiled and got to work. We did a few sessions the first couple weeks and he gave me supplements. and in 2 weeks I had the best skin of my life. I couldn't believe it. If you have eczema I cannot recommend this place enough. I will say it doesn't totally cure you. Depending on what I eat and how disciplined I am with staying away from certain foods (beware spices! and coffee!) sometimes it can flare back up again but it has never been as bad as before and its so nice to have somewhere to go if I need to bring balance back to my body. I have also seen Dr. Jin whilst I was pregnant and she is so lovely and has such a calming...
