En Acupuncture & Herbology's Online Review Report Card

Visited Dr. Ava Ohashi, Dr. Matthew Tay, at En Acupuncture at their new location, 1545 Hotel Circle South Suite 120, San Diego, CA 92108. The Twain location is closed as Dr. Ava moved her practice to this brand new location on May 16, 2024. Do not drive to the Twain location because it is the wrong address and Google Maps is not updating the address expeditiously. Dr. Ava is a gifted acupuncturist and and Chinese medicine practitioner, and Dr. Tay is a gifted Chinese functional medicine and physical therapy-type massage therapist, and Tai Chi master instructor. I have a martial arts injury that requires rehab to the shoulder, arm, and back, and the combination of Dr. Ava and Dr. Tay's work along with the clinic's Tai Chi program is helping to bring mobility and strength back, bit by bit. The human body needs maintenance, particularly when recovering from injury, and I am glad to have found a body/spirit care home at En Acupuncture. Thanks Dr. Ava, Dr. Tay, and Cintia for keeping all the patients functional!

Dr. Ava's New Address Is 1545 Hotel Circle South Suite 120!!! Dr. Ava, Doc Tay, and Miss Cintia are the best! I have had top tier chiropractic care and it is foundational for me, however, I also needed to add the acupuncture and Chinese medicine from Dr Ava and the functional medicine & Chinese medicine massage from Doc Tay to begin healing from a traumatic shoulder injury/back/arm martial arts injury. I am regaining usage of my limbs and range of motion as well as strength. Without their help I would not have access to my full range of motion, and I would not be able to do martial arts. Doc Tay also teaches Tai Chi for patients on Fridays typically at 8:30am. I feel more whole ever since making En Acupuncture a regular part of my life. I can actually feel my wellness slipping away when I'm unable to come in for extended periods of time. The body needs maintenance and Dr. Ava and Doc Tay are the best.

03/19/24 - Started coming here a couple months ago for sciatica pain that radiated from my lower back down my left leg. I was in pretty bad shape and was limping a lot and taking ibuprofen round the clock to help with the pain. My friend, who was surprisingly having the same issue tried them first and then referred me. Started feeling some relief even with the first couple appointments but I was far from getting better. Before I set up an appointment, they were able to confirm that my insurance covered acupuncture treatments so that's how I started treatment with them. My first appointment was an evaluation via zoom. Office is very zen. Staff is very friendly. I enjoy chatting with her every time I go. Dr. Ava is very nice and offers different alternative and supplemental treatments with the acupuncture. I've had massages and recently have been trying cupping. I feel that the cupping has helped with the improvement of my situation. The cupping is not for the weak though. It is painful but I call it the good kind of pain. You just have to think of the benefits as you go through the treatment. I highly recommend trying this at least once or maybe twice. I tried chiropractic work and physical therapy before acupuncture but this is what is working for me. I feel encouraged that I will get better sooner than later. Highly recommend!

I have been seeing Dr. Ava for over 2 yrs. Prior to seeing her, I received acupuncture treatments from someone who had sports-medicine experience. Their technique was only placing needles superficially on pressure-points. They did not put any needles directly into my most painful areas, like Dr. Ava does. But, she uses E-Stem...I did not know there were different types of acupuncture. I have spinal osteoarthritis+sciatica in my lower-back. Which affects my leg, knee & foot. Along w/a buldging-disk, degenerative disc disease, rotator-cuff injury, several other neck & back pain, due to car accidents I was in. I have noticed since I've been seeing Dr. Ava, the major differences in her techniques! Her style and level of EXPERTISE is COMPLETELY different than the other acupuncturist. The mental AND physical relief & relaxation I receive is beyond ANYTHING I could have ever imaginedI am unable to give Dr. Ava's wonderful treatments ANY justice in words alone. She has also suggested yoga stretches I do very slowly at home, that have MAJORILY helped me to "manage" my own pain...I have & will continue to refer my friends to her. When I see her, she puts the needles directly into in the areas where my pain is worst. Along with whatever depth is needed in the other areas. When the treatments are done, my WHOLE body it is unbelievably relaxed and out of pain! I don't expect my pain to be 100% relieved. Her treatments give me 99% relief that lasts a 3-5 days, depending upon my physical exertion. When you have extreme or pain of ANY type & are able to receive the kind of amazing RELIEF Dr. Ava gives...I realize how BLESSED I am to have found her!! Thank you AGAIN Dr. Ava!!!

Just plain excellent! Very caring! Got my husband interested and he loves it too! We go in weekly and have noticed we're sleeping better, less aches and pains! Really helping with husbands rotator cuff pain too.

I highly recommend En Acupuncture. I was suffering from severe lower back/leg pain. Chiropractic care, urgent care, and PT did not do anything to relieve the pain. After the second visit, I felt 70-80% better. Continued treatment and feel almost as good as new! Friendly atmosphere and clean. Easy to get appointments, too!

Highly professional and great bedside manner. Dr. Eva knows what she does and she is a wonderful person

Dr. Ava is a miracle worker. Her treatments over the past year have allowed me to postpone shoulder and sinus surgeries and resume normal daily activities without pain. The staff is warm and friendly.
