BEST ACUPUNCTURE IN GAITHERSBURG, MD

I’ve been seeing this acupuncture practice for over two years, and I can confidently say they are exceptional. The team is attentive, kind, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable. They take the time to truly listen and personalize each treatment, which makes a huge difference.

Every visit is professional, calming, and effective — I always leave feeling better and more balanced. Their expertise and genuine care really set them apart. I highly recommend them to anyone considering acupuncture. You will be in excellent hands.

I cannot recommend East West Wellness Center highly enough. I began seeing Dr. Ji last August while going through IVF, despite being hesitant about trying acupuncture since I’ve never liked needles—and I truly wish I had started sooner. It has made a noticeable difference in reducing my stress, supporting my fertility journey, and minimizing IVF (and now pregnancy!) side effects.

From the moment you walk in, the entire team is warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. The front desk staff, massage therapists, doctors, and assistants all go above and beyond, and Dr. Ji is outstanding. She takes time during every session to sit down with me, thoughtfully discuss my health and progress, offer guidance and encouragement, and answer any questions.

I’m now 4 months pregnant and have continued treatment, and I’m so grateful for the role they’ve played in helping me get here. If you’re considering acupuncture—especially if you’re nervous like I was—this is absolutely the place to go!!

We’ve been coming here for about a year and it has been such a great experience! Dr Ji and Dr Shelly are both fantastic to work with and have helped us meet our health goals each season. Their massage therapists are also amazing. Definitely recommend East West Wellness.

East West Wellness has been the key to keeping my family and me healthier and happier, for years. They have focused on both preventative care and immediate concerns. Thank you to Dr. Ji and the other doctors as well as the amazing massage therapists. You all excel in the healing practices.

This place is truly amazing. Dr. Woo is exceptional—skilled, kind, and very respectful. He explains everything he’s doing and always asks for consent before any touch, which is incredibly important to me as a woman. Dr. Shelly is also fantastic. I honestly haven’t met a single staff member I didn’t like. Hannah and Angela go above and beyond to accommodate scheduling and any other needs. They do accept insurance for certain services, so be sure to ask about coverage. Highly recommend!

Thoughtful, personal attention from the managing physician, the receptionists, the acupuncture therapists and the massage therapists.

Just did my first session with Dr. David. Went great.

I’ve been seeing Dr Ji for over 20 years for various symptoms & always walk away feeling better. I’ve recently started seeing Dr Shellie for the past several months, when the medical doctors couldn’t figure out why I have been nauseous every morning. My treatments here not only cured my issues but they accept my insurance, the sessions are magical and pain free and it has been the only relief to my chronic condition. I can’t recommend East West Wellness Center enough! Thank you so much Team!

This place was recommended by a customer. I have been coming here for a little over a month now and my general pain and stress has decreased so much. The place is clean, relaxing and the ladies at the desk are very nice too. Def recommend.

I have struggled with my menstrual cycle for years and have been told by many doctors that I need to just take a different birth control or they had me at one point taking two different birth control medications. I was fatigued and tired all the time. Dr Shelly had used acupuncture as a method to help and continue to help me regulate my cycle. She also educated me on the organs that impact my cycle and what habits I should be incorporating into my daily life to help my organs be healthier. I feel stronger, I sleep better, and it feels nice to be listened to after years of not being heard. Everyone in the clinic is welcoming and nice! Very thankful for this experience.

I have been going to see Dr. Ji off and on for 9 years. I most recently returned after a severe case of Shingles, which lingered on after the blisters were gone, known as Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN). In desperation for any relief from the excruciating nerve pain, I googled to see if acupuncture would help; to my surprise, it does! I called the office and was seen by Dr. Ji within the hour. After my first session, 80% of the pain disappeared. She recommended I see her 3x weekly and also prescribed herbs.

Dr. Ji's acupuncture skills are proficient, and her attitude toward treatment is serious and attentive. She is truly a rare and excellent traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who works diligently to solve my ailments and is not satisfied until I show improvement.

I love going to see Dr. Ji. She has such a calm and soothing voice and I know that she truly cares about my well being.

The entire office staff is very friendly. Tatiana (the glue that holds the office together) and the front desk staff - Hannah, Angela and Becky, ALWAYS make me feel welcomed as part of the office family.
I highly recommend East West Wellness and would give 10 stars if I could.

I have came here for a year already and it has changed my life. I am a rhythmic gymnast who had a back injury that didn't let me arch, jump, and do so many things. I used to cry everyday of frustration because of it. And if I used it a lot I couldn't even walk. So I was recommended this place and after 3 months of resting and treatment with Dr. Ji, my back got so much better. I even did physical therapy which didn't worked at all, unlike acupuncture. After coming back to gymnastics and having my back like new I was happier than ever. These doctors are the best and every staff member is so nice and always caring. I come here once a week to keep my back muscles healthy and it always feels very relaxing with music playing, I also feel very comfortable with the surroundings, and with the nice people here. I also always get massage too which is the best, recommended 100%, it makes me so relaxed and helps with my back muscles too a lot. At this point I feel like I rely on acupuncture for my daily comfort and therefore I am so grateful for it.

I have been coming for over 20 years and make it a part of my weekly routine - Dr Ji and Dr Shelley are amazing. Try it you will not be disappointed but you will be well.

I have been coming here for treatment since February. My health is much better. The doctors, assistants and massage therapists are wonderful. Customer service is excellent. My husband comes now and loves it.

Excellent atmosphere and staff.

From my experience I have no complaints the staff are wonderful and truly attentive. The Doctors are wonderful and the front desk staff are very welcoming. My experience overall was a 10/10 the cupping definitely worked wonders on my lower back pain.

Very Knowledgeable. Very pleasant decor, relaxing and helpful staff. Best first experience I’ve had!

I first came to East West Wellness for treatment of an autoimmune condition and peripheral neuropathy. After just a few sessions, I was amazed — it was the only thing that truly helped reduce my nerve pain when nothing else had worked. The experience was so positive, I knew I could trust Dr Ji with my health.

Later, after several failed attempts to get pregnant, I returned to East West Wellness specifically for fertility support. The care, compassion, and expertise I received were exceptional. The acupuncture treatments were not only deeply relaxing but also gave me a renewed sense of hope and balance during a very stressful time.

The team at East West Wellness is warm, professional, and genuinely committed to your well-being. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, autoimmune issues, fertility challenges, or simply want to feel your best, I can’t recommend them highly enough. They are truly life-changing. I will always be grateful for Dr Ji’s role in starting our family.
