I was recommended to Evoke + Laurel by a couple of my good friends. I finally got around to booking in January 2024 and have been coming regularly ever since. I was about 8 months pregnant when I started getting treated by Laurel and I am so grateful she is a part of my health and healing. Laurel is so thorough and thoughtful during consultations and taking notes at every single appointment to give the best care at the time of my appointment. Through all seasons of my life she has been a huge part of my health and healing and I am so happy to recommend her to anyone else!
I started going to Evoke and working with Laurel before trying to get pregnant after 2 miscarriages. Laurel was amazingly knowledgeable and compassionate through this journey, she recommended an OB/GYN practice that would do more testing, then helped me interpret that testing, made diet/lifestyle recommendations, and, of course, did acupuncture. This was my first experience with acupuncture and I found it to be painless and enjoyable. I did acupuncture through my first trimester and again about a month before delivery. It was a healthy pregnancy and (relatively) easy delivery which I think acupuncture helped significantly with. Long story short- I cant recommend Evoke or Laurel enough if you have any reason to try acupuncture, it truly is a great compliment for addressing health concerns.
Ive had really great experience with Evoke Acupuncture.Alyssa Sinyard is absolutely wonderful and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a holistic approach to health and wellness. She took the time to thoroughly understand my health concerns and tailored each session to address my specific needs. Her gentle and precise technique made the entire process very comfortable and relaxing. Everyone at Evoke have been professional and super easy to work with.
Laurel (and Evoke Acupuncture) has really been life changing for myself and my family. I went in for the fertility acupuncture as we had just started the IVF process. Laurel was so comforting and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and really made the tough process much more manageable. I would definitely recommend Evoke Acupuncture (especially Laurel) and am so appreciative of what they were able to help us with.
I had an exceptional experience with Alyssa and the staff at Evoke. Alyssa was incredibly attentive to my needs and took the time to understand my concerns. The treatments were gentle and effective, and I felt very comfortable throughout the process. Overall, a wonderful experience at Evoke and working with Alyssa. Highly recommend!
Evoke Acupuncture is absolutely the best! I have been seeing Alyssa for about 7 months and she is excellent. Alyssa is extremely patient, compassionate, attentive, and modifies treatment according to your needs. I always feel so much better after seeing her! Additionally, the receptionists go above and beyond to help with your scheduling or billing needs. I highly recommend this place, especially Alyssa!
I have seen Shuqing for two visits so far and have already had a wonderful experience. The office is so calm and comfortable. It smells incredible and the front desk staff are very kind. Shuqing is amazing. She is so gentle and also very calming. I have felt listened to and cared for during the visits and she is so sweet about remembering little details I shared with her in past appointments. I could not be happier coming to Evoke!
I would recommend Evoke acupuncture to all my friends who are interested in the acupuncture treatment. So easy to schedule appointment, communicate and deal with the insurance. All the staff members are very nice.Especially, I have been seeing Jing for almost two years and my pregnancy and delivery went smoothly with the help of her. Jing is a very professional acupuncturist. What Jing has provided to me not only helps me physicialy , but also eases my mind and helps me relieved from the pressure and anxiety. I really appreciate the supports from her.Furthermore, Shuqing and Alyssa also helped me during my treatment process. Both of them are good and very kind to patients.I will definitely come back for my future pregnancy if possible!
Ive been seeing Alyssa every other week for about a year now after a co worker referred me to her and I can say she has truly changed my life. She helped me heal from a c-section as well as prepare my uterus for a successful VBAC! I dont think I wouldve been able to do it without her. Shes also been healing my thyroid and immune system. I referred my mom who sees her frequently as well for immune health and pain management and we both notice a huge difference everytime. I always feel so relaxed after a session and any pains/symptoms I have go away. Alyssa is an incredible acupuncturist and human and is so knowledgeable - she always teaches me something new. Her and the entire evoke team are always professional, friendly, and kind. Im so grateful
I cant say enough good things about Evoke and Alyssa! I have been going to Alyssa for a little more than a year to help with my fertility and mental health. I am currently pregnant, and I know I would not have gotten to where I am without Alyssa - both for the pregnancy itself and for helping with my anxiety, ups/ downs of pregnancy emotions. Alyssa brightens up my day and I know I will walk out with a renewed spirit!
Laurel is wonderful. I started acupuncture at the same time as my last IVF treatment. I can say that the treatment helped me a lot physically and emotionally. Laurel was with me throughout the entire process, encouraging me and helping me fulfill my dream of being a mother. She is kind, supportive and very professional. I would definitely recommend Evoke Acupuncture and especially the beloved Laurel Coats.
My experience at Evoke has been excellent. Laurel is a consummate professional who used targeted treatments to greatly improve my upper back pain and soreness. She has a keen sense of locating exact pressure/pain points and takes the utmost care to ensure comfort, relaxation, and healing.
I started trying to conceive over two years ago. So many people told me to try acupuncture, but I held off. Then when I started IVF, friends that had IVF success swore by acupuncture and I still held off. Until after a few failed embryo transfers, I was desperate to try anything and thats when I decided to finally seek out acupuncture and found Evoke.I wish I had started coming here years ago!! What I love about Evoke: easy scheduling, clean environment, wonderful helpful staff (hi Chrissy!), and the most relaxing sessions. Alyssa was my acupuncturist and I really felt like she was on this journey with me and invested in my health and well-being. Every week, I looked forward to seeing her — she has a calming and caring energy that just makes you feel so at peace. And she really listened to how I was feeling and what symptoms I had and would tailor the acupuncture session to help with those problem areas. After coming here for about three months, I finally got my successful embryo transfer!Whether acupuncture helped or if it was the change in protocol, one thing for sure is seeing Alyssa really helped me relax and destress from IVF, work, and everything else going on in life.I also cannot thank Chrissy who works the front office enough for her patience and help when my insurance was being difficult and unreasonable. She took charge of contacting them and kept me updated on the status of everything. Not many medical offices will offer this type of help or support, saved me from tons of headaches and time on the phone having to deal with them, so super thanks to Chrissy!I cannot recommend Evoke and Alyssa enough — whether youre trying to conceive, have bothersome symptoms, or just need to rest and relax, definitely give them a visit. Your body and mind will thank you!
Hello all!Working with Laurel Coats has been assume. She is person that truly cares. Laurel made a believer out of me that acupuncture really works. Words cannot express enough how grateful I am to Evoke acupuncture!
Ive been seeing Shuqing for over a year now. She is an excellent provider. She is kind, patient and attentive. The entire staff is highly professional and I always feel well cared for. Highly recommend!
Came in with a knot in my calf that had been bothering me for 2 months. I tried yoga, stretching, chiro, and foam rolling.... nothing seemed to help. Finally, I came across Evoke. From the moment I walked in I knew I was at the right place. Very clean facility with a zen-like feel.Laurel took her time and asked the right questions. She is very knowledgeable and works her magic to perfection. I noticed results from the very first session and now will be coming back for any future pains or ailments. The acupuncture is painless and the cupping is barely noticeable. However, the results are impressive. After three sessions, I am completely pain free and playing soccer again. Thanks, Laurel!
Ive been visiting Laurel Coats for acupuncture since April, and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Laurels kindness and empathy are genuinely heartwarming, and she excels in her craft. She listens with understanding, making every session both comforting and productive.Each of her acupuncture sessions is informative and specifically tailored to meet my bodys unique needs. Since starting these sessions with Laurel, Ive noticed significant improvements in my physical and mental health.What adds to the seamless experience is the ease with which I can schedule appointments. Whether online or through a phone call to the office, the process is hassle-free. The office staff complements the overall experience with their consistent willingness to help.I look forward to my weekly sessions with Laurel, which have become a highlight of my routine.
Everyone and everything at Evoke are nothing short of wonderful! I started seeing Alyssa a year ago for fertility support, though she has helped with other aches and pains along the way as well. From the start she was kind, supportive, calming, and thorough, always acting as my advocate and truly in my corner. She helped me get testing done and gave recommendations, but was never pushy. I wholeheartedly believe that seeing her regularly has made all the difference and I always look forward to my appointments. Beyond Alyssa, I saw Shuqing once and she was also amazing — I would trust any of the acupuncturists at Evoke to provide quality care. Also want to give a shoutout to Chrissy, the lovely receptionist, for her assistance and friendliness. And last but not least, I love how easy it is to use their website to manage appointments. Don’t hesitate to book!
Dr. Jing is one of the nicest and most genuine persons I have ever met. From your first visit with her she asks important questions while making you feel very welcome. She makes sure youre comfortable with the procedure and explains everything clearly beforehand. The overall process with her is very relaxing and I would recommend her to anyone looking to do acupuncture.
Ive been seeing Neda for the past 2 months and she has been so wonderful, kind and supportive in my fertility journey. It has been a gift to have her support as my journey has been rough.She has been extremely thorough in keeping track of all my health history. Its been complicated yet she remembers everything! She will research any questions we have, for instance the effects of antibiotics and supplements on my liver. Shes sent me holistic recommendations for managing my endometriosis. Shes also shared with me a case study she wrote that would help my partner. She can also recommend Chinese herbs if it works for your treatment plan.She starts most of my sessions with affirmations that align with my goals and calm my mind. I can then truly feel the effects of the acupuncture flowing through my body.In the 20 sessions of acupuncture, my FSH has decreased by 30% which is great!Overall, I feel like shes on my side.... hoping for what I hope for and that means the world to me.Aside from that, the website for booking is very easy to use. The front desk person is so kind and friendly. If youre looking for acupuncture, I highly recommend you see Neda at Evoke Acupuncture. Ive had acupuncture ten years ago, but it was nothing like this amazing experience.
I have been going to Evoke Acupuncture for almost a year. I like a lot how practical their system for booking sessions is. The facility is beautiful, calming, and relaxing. I have my sessions Alyssa Sinyard, and they are such a great moment in my week! She listens carefully to everything that I say, and she asks more questions to make sure that I didnt forget anything important. I am so grateful for having found her!
I have been a patient of Evoke Acupuncture since late 2016 on a friends recommendation as I began trying to conceive my first baby. I have continued to regularly visit Evoke Acupuncture, Olivia Baker in particular, since then. As promised, my treatment always leaves me relaxed, and I have experienced real healing and tangible results over the past five years.Without getting into specifics about my health, trust me in saying that there is a reason I continue to regularly schedule my acupuncture appointments. I am currently pregnant with my third baby, and I feel confident that I am getting the best possible supplemental care through my treatments. Beyond my pregnancy, I have seen results in so many different areas, from digestive troubles to fertility to my overall emotional wellbeing.While I am sure that all of the acupuncturists at Evoke are wonderful, I have never seen anyone except for Olivia. She fun but capable; friendly but professional. Each appointment I feel that she really cares to understand any ailments or concerns I may have. She is incredibly perceptive and asks great questions to ensure I am taking care of my full self, and her warm personality makes her a true joy to see each visit.I cannot recommend Evoke Acupuncture (Olivia in particular) enough. Everyone deserves to feel as heard and healed as I do after each appointment.
Before going to see Alyssa at Evoke I had been dealing with stomach issues (extreme bloat, food sensitivities, etc.) for over 2 years. I saw every kind of doctor there is, tried cutting out so many foods, and had pretty much given up on the idea that I would ever feel better. Enter Alyssa, she finally was able to make me feel the best Ive felt in YEARS!From the beginning she made me feel like she truly cared about my endless list of issues and wanted to get to the root cause of it. She not only worked with me with weekly acupuncture sessions - she also had me take stool tests to help me find out what was actually going on in my stomach and she helped prescribe me natural supplements to support all my issues. In about 6 months, I finally felt free of all bloat and pain I had been experiencing every single day for 2+ years.And to top it off, she also helped to get rid of hamstring pain from an injury that happened more than 4 years ago in less than 3 months of sessions.Whatever issue we targeted, Alyssa cured it! I couldnt recommend her enough and have told all my friends and family about how acupuncture has changed my life. For any future pain I have, whether physical or mental, I will return to Alyssa at Evoke. Thank you Alyssa!!!
I’ve gone to a few acupuncture places and Evoke is one of my favorite. The receptionist is sweet, prompt and quick to respond back to questions or follow up. I also have had the opportunity to work with Alyssa and she is gem! She listens to my needs and is really attentive and gentle. I feel very relaxed and well taken care of that I’ve recommended many of my friends. Thank you Evoke!
I was recently diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency and my doctor recommended I try fertility acupuncture to help with follicle growth before an egg retrieval. I have been going to Evoke Acupuncture for the past 5-6 months to see Shuqing Jing and the results and the service I have had are amazing! Shuqing is so kind, compassionate, and caring. She provides such a safe supportive space where you can feel comfortable. The entire office is this way, everyone is welcoming and supporting your journey. Aside from how incredible everyone is, the results I have noticed are astounding. I had a very low AMH and follicle count and one of my ovaries was not producing any follicles. Though, I have also been taking supplements, this combined with the weekly acupuncture, has helped my right ovary start producing follicles again. In fact, 11 of them!! I am now a part of the small percentage of people with POI with a period where my ovaries are functioning closer to normal again. Evoke acupuncture was the best decision I ever made in my fertility journey.
Evoke Acupuncture (Laurel Coats in particular) is the best! I was looking for a location that treated the challenging conditions I need support with and I love that this place is women owned. The space is inviting and comfortable. Laurel is caring and takes the time to check in with me and my progress each time we meet. She is a great listener and very insightful always sharing recommendations. Laurel is an excellent acupuncturist with a gentle touch – a very relaxing experience. In addition to acupuncture, we also have done several sessions of cupping (highly recommend.) Her treatments have significantly helped my chronic conditions. Im so grateful to have found Laurel and this place!
Im delighted to share my wonderful experience with acupuncturist Jing. Her professionalism and extensive knowledge, especially in IVF, were truly remarkable. Jing made me feel incredibly comfortable during my fertility treatments. Thanks to her expertise and support, Im thrilled to announce that Im now 7 weeks pregnant. I highly recommend Jing for her exceptional care and results!
I started working with Laurel six months ago after being recommended by a friend. From the beginning, I was impressed by her attention to detail and empathy. At our first appointment, she asked a lot of questions to understand my lifestyle and where I’m at. This has continued through out as she checks in with me before each session. I’ve seen improvements in the health metrics I’m tracking and have generally achieved a greater sense of calm/peace after going to Laurel. I would definitely recommend her to anyone searching for an acupuncturist!
Evoke Acupuncture has worked wonders for me! I came in with a shoulder problem, where my shoulder would pop out of its socket when I would lift up my arm; after months of treatment I am now able surf, box, and rock climb all with practically non-existent pain! Furthermore, I got a stomach problem known as SIBO, and through the help of Evoke Acupuncture, I am now on track to have a healthy stomach in a couple of weeks! Very grateful for all the work my acupuncturist Alyssa Sinyard has done for me. She is extremely knowledgable, caring, and calming! One time I was having an especially rough day, and she let me rest for an extra 30 minutes for free without me asking for it or anything! Evoke Acupuncture has a warm and welcoming aura where you feel like youre in good hands; the acupuncturists care more about your health than your money! Very awesome place, highly recommend!
I cant express how grateful I am to have had acupuncture treatment from Dr. Jing Chen. My husband and I had been dealing with infertility issues for over a year and had even tried another acupuncture office with no luck, until I started working with Dr. Jing. I got pregnant approx 1 month of treatments with her and she has continued to provide treatments throughout my pregnancy. I appreciate her calm and reassuring attitude, especially when i was feeling anxious. She has extensive experience in the field which made me feel confident in her advice. Pregnancy can be a nerve wreaking time, but having Dr. Jings support has allowed me feel more confident about the birthing process. Deepest gratitude to her and the welcoming receptionists at Evoke.
I would definitely recommend visiting Alyssa at Evoke. I came in with IC and sciatica symptoms. She was able to address my IC symptoms right away and through consecutive visits was able to manage my sciatica. She is super personable and I can tell that she truly cares about my health.
Words are not enough to describe the kind of treatment Neda provides for patients. It is amazing. She listens evrything carefully. She understands very well. I love everything about evoke acupuncture from the receptionist to staff .
I started coming to Evoke from my IVF providers recommendation. They mentioned they work well with the Evoke team and that they dont push herbs to patients.I have been to other acupuncturists and have tried the bitter herbs prescribed. It scares me because Im not sure how it interacts with my medication since Im on blood thinners and blood pressure medication. I had a very complicated history of pregnancy and multiple pregnancy lost for the past 3-4 years. Im on my 2nd trimester now and started coming to Evoke under Shujings care before our IVF transfer. So grateful to have a very caring and supportive Acupuncturist. Shes very thorough, checking in to all my concerns,she listens and gives me best practice advices to manage my 1st trimester symptoms and up to my current state.I definitely feel a difference with my body when I go in for treatment/ session vs when I miss a week worth of visit. I feel more relax, rested and with improved symptoms.I never thought of acupuncture to help support my over all health. I would definitely encourage and recommend Shujing and the Evoke team.The front office, Chrissy is always helpful and prompt. I definitely feel supported throughout my pregnancy. Thankful for the Evoke Team, specially Shujing.
I have been treated by Olivia since June 2021. She is one of the BEST doctors I have ever had. She is very knowledgeable and caring. She listens, advices, follows up with emails and during the appointments. I have excellent results after her treatment. I am very grateful to her care, and I am also grateful that she is very respectful to my research and opinions when I share. I feel that we are a team and I have a lot of say regarding my treatment. That feeling and experience is precious in working with health workers nowadays.
Ive been working with Evoke for more than a year now. They have supported me through embryo creation, prep for possible transfer and then actually getting pregnant naturally! And now navigating my pregnancy. The whole team is a pleasure to work with and they also work with your insurance in many cases which is extremely helpful. I couldnt recommend them more.
I have been going to Evoke Acupuncture weekly for fertility support. Olivia is very knowledgeable & thorough with her care. She takes the time to understand what’s going on with me each week and tailors my care accordingly. They are also very COVID friendly - Masks required, fully sanitized rooms between appointments, and no interaction with other patients. I feel very safe. I look forward to my weekly appointments throughout the week!
Ive been seeing Olivia at Evoke for close to 1 year, I think. My experience with Evoke has been very good so far. The front desk receptionist, Melissa, has always been helpful and honest. Making appointments has been fairly easy and they accommodate my busy schedule well. Olivia has been helpful in reducing some of my symptoms, especially with a shoulder issue shes been working on. Her cupping technique helps relieve muscle tension and allows my shoulder to free up. I do fairly intense workouts and this has allowed me to continue my training. I enjoy going there to relax and get away from my daily stresses. Thanks!
This review is for Laurel Coats who is a practitioner at Evoke. Ive been seeing Laurel now for several months. I was really struggling with neck and shoulder pains which were also tied into dull headaches that I was constantly suffering from. Laurel is a thoughtful and caring provider. Between the cupping and the acupuncture, I have seen significant improvements. Laurel has been so great in checking in and always providing support.
After my first acupuncturist retired, I began searching for a new clinic that met the same standard of care I was previously receiving. Little did I know how much Id come to appreciate not only Evoke, but also my new found acupuncturist, Laurel. She is a true professional, and goes above and beyond for her clients. Each and every time I see her, she takes the time to walk through key progress milestones or setbacks, and adapts her treatment approach accordingly. She has an intuitive sense of how to put her clients at ease so they walk out feeling better than when they arrived for treatment. I have found the clinic to be clean and well maintained. The other practitioners and front office staff are also just as professional, personable and eager to make your client experience a quality one.
Laurel is phenomenal -- she really cares and wants to work with you to find a treatment plan that works for you and your health. Shes knowledgeable and open to new ideas and approaches. Ive gotten acupuncture and cupping done by her, and both are now an essential part of managing my health and stress. Not to mention, the clinic is peaceful and clean, and a pleasure to be in.
Excellent experience with Olivia! I originally went to see her to treat my menstrual cycle as well as road rage. I no longer have migraines or a heavy flow and I no longer have road rage. She is still working on my shoulder, arm, hand but I can feel it actively healing. I really look forward to my appointments with Olivia as she is a very caring, down to earth and knowledgeable acupuncturist.
Highly recommend Evoke wether you’re new to or have experienced acupuncture before. The acupuncturists are very receptive & attentive to your needs and go above and beyond to provide you with support. I have noticed a significant improvement in my chronic back pain, issues with my hamstrings and overall stress levels after consistent appointments. Looking forward to continuing to utilize the treatments available at Evoke.
I started acupuncture at Evoke in February to complement my fertility treatment, and I have nothing but good things to say about my experience. Alyssa is extremely attentive, and her care is personalized, thorough, and compassionate. Convenient location, relaxing atmosphere, great staff!
Alyssa at Evoke is great! Ive been coming to her since the beginning of the year to help me and it has been nothing but great results.Evoke is in my insurance network and its very easy working with Evoke. They have you set up your information online with your payment information so whenever you come in for a visit they charge you automatically and send you e-mail receipts. The front receptionists are always welcoming and is able to answer any of your questions you may have.Scheduling/Re-Scheduling is fairly easy as you can book with the front desk ladies or through email. Ive been able to book through Alyssa via email or in person and its always been a breeze.Anytime I have questions and email Alyssa, she is super responsive and quick too!
I’ve been seeing Jing for a few weeks now and have been feeling great and more balanced, less fatigued - overall my body & mind feel supported where I need it.I was excited to find out she does pediatric acupuncture as well so brought my 2 kids in today. Jing was kind, respectful, and kept things light and fun for them. They felt comfortable with her and had a great session. So grateful to have found Evoke and highly recommend to give them a try if you’re searching for an acupuncturist.
Excellent place for acupuncture! Well trained and professional Alyssa did an outstanding job of listening and guiding me through things affecting me like stress, health, eating, etc. the treatment itself provided improvement in a short time. Really happy with her treatment plan.
Shuqing is a very warm and patient acupuncturist. She is caring, intuitive, and genuinely interested in helping me out with a variety of issues. My husband and I love her warmth and knowledgeable approach in our individual treatments. Her work has improved our health tremendously, and we’ve given her really tough issues to treat. Our ‘regular’ doctors are often stunned by the positive outcomes. Whenever we’re down in the San Jose area, we make sure to schedule a visit. She is a blessed and joyful necessity to our wellness care.
Evoke is my first experience with acupuncture and it has been a dream. I regularly see Angie who is patient and thoughtful and insightful. I also saw Neda while Angie was on vacation and she was wonderful too. The entire visit is always therapeutic. The office is lovely. And Kayla our front is even more so - incredibly helpful and kind. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Today I experienced my first ever consultation and acupuncture treatment. I am so excited to be on this journey with Shuqing Jing!!! She is so gentle in her approach, her voice is calming and the Evoke space really made me feel safe in this new experience. At no point did I feel judged or shamed. In fact I felt secure that this was a true health partnership for my overall well-being. Shuqing made it so easy to embrace the process. I am so happy that my Mom found Evoke and shared them with me!! 05/13/2023 and I continue to make Evoke & Shuqing a part of my holistic wellbeing every other week!!
I have been seeing Olivia Baker at Evoke Acupuncture since the fall of 2018. I do acupuncture as an adjunct treatment for my fertility while undergoing IVF. Since seeing Olivia and doing IVF I have gotten pregnant and given birth to a healthy baby. Aside from the fertility benefits, I always find sessions with Olivia to be very relaxing and enjoyable. This is my preferred self-care activity where I can come to relax and get treatments to complement my IVF journey.Olivia is incredibly patient and truly cares about her patients. She is very detailed and knowledgeable. Olivia has even shared various resources with me that ended up saving me money on supplements and lab tests. The acupuncture rooms are always clean and peaceful. I can also book appts online, which is really convenient. I highly recommend Evoke!
Shuqing has been a great help in my journey, shes knowledgeable, gentle and has great advice. I know working with her has improved my health and overall stress levels, highly recommend her to anyone looking to try acupuncture!
This review is LONG overdue. I started seeing Neda a little over 3 years ago as I was nearing the end of my first pregnancy. Fast forward to today (I am 5 months post-partum with my second) and its safe to say she has been my saving grace through this season of life. I dealt with a lot of anxiety going into my second pregnancy and Nedas sessions were always the highlight of my week. Every visit was tailored to what I was dealing with and she is always taking notes to make sure she has a full picture. Not only that, she uses a variety of modalities depending on what youre coming in with (cupping, gua sha, manual therapy). I have also seen Olivia who is so kind and also a very caring practitioner - I dont think you can go wrong with anyone here! Thank you Neda and the Evoke team for taking care of me!
Evoke Acupuncture wowed me! I had a laundry list of things going on with me and each concern was addressed professionally and efficiently. To start, Chrissy at the front admin was so pleasant on the phone. Communication via email and phone was very good. I felt terrible I didn’t have my paperwork done ahead of time, they have a very easy system to do your intake forms ahead of time. I liked the vibe in the office and the treatment room, clean, nice plants all around, comfortable and relaxing. My consultation going over the intake form and filling Alyssa in on my needs; she was a great listener and had input/good info and tools tohelp support me. Cupping and gwasha(spelling?) was used for my neck/back/shoulder and acupuncture was used all over. She sent mehome with amoxobustion to use for my knee which is inflamed from running with excess weight post baby. I am optimistic that these treatments will help me! Above all, I know I willbe coming back and that I am in good hands. Thank you, Alyssa and Chrissy :)
Everyone here is great! Alyssa my acupuncturist is nothing but amazing! She listens to my concerns and makes sure I feel very much involved in tackling the issues I have going on. I’ve enjoyed every session and see this as a long term commitment. Highly recommend!
I’ve been going to Evoke Accupuncture for over 3 years now. I mainly see Neda who is just amazing. She genuinely cares about her clients and I’ve had great success with Neda’s Accupuncture treatments. I feel very relaxed after my sessions. Neda is an expert in her field and offers great advice. She is a warm and caring person so immediately you feel calm and relaxed in her presence. I genuinely look forward to my treatments with Neda.
Im so happy I found Neda/Evoke Acupuncture! Neda exudes care and authenticity in a way that instantly made me feel comfortable. At our first session, I appreciated how thorough she was in getting a detailed background on what brought me in. She listened deeply and was incredibly patient and understanding when a lot of emotion came up for me. She went over my recent labs and suggested a few additional tests. She then customized her treatment, and I left knowing I was in the right place! After the visit, she followed up with an email and reviewed the rest of my tests.Since then, I have been seeing her weekly, and I couldnt be more grateful! Neda is just as patient, warm, and empathetic as our first appointment. She maintains space within in each session to check in, asking questions, deeply listening, and letting me process whatever is going on. She then tailors the treatment. I leave each appointment feeling lighter, more grounded, and more self aware! Thank you Neda!.A few more things to note, Evoke offers packages which provide a discounted rate. Defiantly, worth the commitment! Also, the clinic is super calming, staffed by such warm, friendly people, easy to find/park, and stocked with tea and snacks :) Its somewhat far from my home, yet I gladly make the drive, often in traffic, because I cant imagine going anywhere else!
Neda is fantastic! She is warm, caring, and thorough - she truly listens and is an excellent practitioner. I highly recommend her and Evoke Acupuncture!
I started seeing Jing because the acupuncturist I used to goto no longer took my insurance. I was very disappointed because the acupuncturist I used to go to was amazing and I really liked her. Well, I know I am lucky in terms of meeting amazing people in my life and it turned out that I was lucky in meeting another amazing acupuncturist, Jing at Evoke.I saw Jing through my third IVF egg retrieval and my first embryo transfer (which resulted in my first baby!). She always created relaxing atmosphere and gave me through explanations of what each acupuncture points were about (I was curious so asked about it sometimes) and what she was doing for me. She didn’t only support me through acupuncture but also provided me with lots of emotional support that I truly looked forward to seeing her weekly not only for acupuncture but simply to meet her. She also shared lots of her knowledge with me through my IVF procedures as well as my pregnancy. In fact, she gave me way more educational information and support than my OBGYN did when I was pregnant. I was so lost and confused with my pregnancy symptoms as a first time mom and I don’t know how I would’ve gone through this period without her support.I had so many people’s support to have this baby (the cutest and most adorable human being I’ve seen btw) and Jing’s support was a big one. I am so thankful and grateful for all the support she gave me through this life changing process!! :)
Ive always been curious about acupuncture, but more nervous than curious! Upon walking into Evoke Acupuncture my nerves started to fade and I was welcomed with a smile and great sense of relaxation, like a little spa sanctuary tucked in the middle of professional offices. The music was soft and tranquil and I began to actually feel excited for my first treatment, instead of worried!Before we even began my session Angie went over my medical history, asked about my lifestyle and any pass injuries. She was incredibly genuine and truly cared about my concerns. Quickly, I felt like I was talking to a friend! As soon as I shared that I carry a lot of stress in my shoulders, neck and upper back, Angie recommended cupping as well.The only time Ive heard of cupping was from Michael Phelps!!!! I was more nervous about cupping and getting those circle welts on my back.After Angie explained the process and shared that she can quickly and easily control the suction I was confident that I was in good hands.I couldnt believe the sensation I felt from cupping, the therapeutic feelings from acupuncture and the guided meditation hit a spiritual awareness that I was not expecting at all. Instant relief and relaxation.Overall I rate my experience with Angie + Evoke Acupuncture with 5 STARS!!! I cant wait to go back!
I am very pleased with my experience with Evoke Acupuncture, especially with ShuJing. Her service is stellar. She empathizes with her patients and tries to understand where the frustrations come from by finding the root cause. She is extremely compassionate and patient, and willing to go above and beyond for her patients. She always lends me a sympathetic ear to listen to my problems with concern. I could get very anxious at times, but Shujing makes me feel reassured that I am in safe hands with her comfort and encouragement. She’s sincere, genuine, and gentle. I am very grateful for her professional care.
I am submitting this review as testimony to Evoke Acupuncture as a warm, friendly, and serene environment. I especially wish to recognize Dr. Stephanie Smith. Dr. Smith’s genuine caring and healing presence made every visit a positive experience. She made sure I was comfortable and always took time to assess how I was feeling. The massage and healing balm after each acupuncture treatment felt wonderful. My chronic hip pain is now under control thanks to her excellent treatment, invaluable referrals, and vast knowledge of herbs and supplements. I consider her a blessing in my life.
I see Angie at Evoke, and she is absolutely wonderful. Her gentle, healing nature puts you at ease immediately. Ive seen her off and on for a few years, and her new office at Evoke is so serene and peaceful, its relaxing just to walk in there.Angie is always ready to listen to whats going on with my body and my life, and she will adjust the treatment to what I need each time. Once weve had a chance to chat, the needles are in, she leaves you with a thought or meditation to help ease and calm you so you can just let go of anything waiting for you on the outside. She is simply a treasure.Ive seen Neda in the past as well, and though they each have their own approach, they both have such calm and tender bedside manners. I receive excellent care each time I visit, whether its for pain, anxiety or my current cold.Neda has truly created a blissful, serene environment in which patients can let go of the stress and pain and relax into the treatment.Thank you, Evoke!
Evoke is so wonderful! I see both Neda and Angie...I actually followed Angie here from her previous practice because of her amazingness. :)Both Neda and Angie have an incredibly warm demeanor and are so knowledgeable about the body. Truly, everyone at Evoke helps to create a space that feels welcoming and healing.Im currently doing a series of facial acupuncture with Neda and I could not be more thrilled by the results! My skin is glowing and makeup has become optional (not the typical story of someone in her late 30s)!Ive seen Angie through 2 pregnancies, multiple injuries and various ailments (insomnia, hormone changes, chronic headaches, etc). Im such a believer in acupuncture after the long list of results Ive had...and I also feel strongly that the practitioner makes all the difference.I refer my yoga students to Evoke regularly...not because of any perk for me but because of the gift it is to share in good health!
My first time with Dr. Neda and it was a great and positive experience overall. Shes very professional, calm, attentive, and has a soothing/positive energy. I felt much better afterwards. Highly recommended!
I went to Evoke based on the recommendation of one of my friends. I was terrified to try acupuncture as I have a fear of needles, but Neda instantly put my mind at ease. There is no pain associated with the process and she only does what you can handle - at this point Ive done the needles and electric stimulation, and shes used moxa and a roller on me. Theres plenty more that she can do (e.g., cupping), but this is all that Ive needed so far. I have seen her nearly 30 times now and I am so glad. The process is painless and leaves me feeling relaxed and calm, and Neda is just the kindest, most supportive person. I feel like I now have an acupuncturist, friend, and counselor all in one. Thank you, Neda, for all that youve done for me!
I love Angie! I worked with her for 5+ years when she was at Lokahi, and when she moved to Evoke, I followed her as a client. I have noticed many health improvements in allergies, migraines, and hormone imbalance since visiting her. She is calm and caring, looks at the whole me, not just the symptoms, and helps me focus on my health goals. She has also offered helpful advice on things to help manage my whole health, including managing stress, setting intention, and increasing my focus and mental clarity. I have seen other providers on occasion, but Angie is the one for me!
Nice clinic. I enjoy every appointment with Neda. She not only gave me treatments but also supported my emotions. Really appreciate her ♥️
BEWARE. IF YOU HAVE BLUE SHIELD OF CALIFORNIA, DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! I had the WORST experience trying to use my insurance. I was told that Evoke was in-network with my insurance after they verified and it wasn’t until I had my first appointment that they tell me I have to submit the claim myself for reimbursement (that should have been the first flag). I tried submitting to Blue Shield and was told that I need to go through ASH (American Specialty Health) because all acupuncture services through Blue Shield run through this insurance provider. ASH says that Evoke should submit directly, Evoke says I should submit directly, I finally MAIL (because they don’t except claims online) and I’ve only been given one check from ASH and it’s only 7% of what I paid for with Evoke even though they said they were in-network. Do not use this place if you are trying to use insurance with Blue Shield. They lied about their coverage with this insurance carrier.Response after comment from owner:I disagree. Evoke should have been honest PRIOR to my fist appointment that I needed to submit my own bill for reimbursement. You probably knew that I would only get 7% reimbursement and you not sharing that and charging me what you did knowing that the insurance would cover so little is awful business practice and VERY SHADY. If you look at the email are referencing (no idea why you’re sharing the specific reference number as I feel like that is a violation) you can see I had to specifically ask the receptionist to help after the back and forth. I’m sure people that pay cash they will have no issues here but I’m warning people that use insurance because your company has no idea how to handle them properly and if I didn’t listen to your company about being in network then I could have gone somewhere else that was more cost effective for cash patients. I’m a single woman that needed help on my fertility journey and you added more stress and loss of money so i want to warn people of businesses like yours.
Had my first ever acupuncture treatment, and all I can say is WOW. I was made to feel completely comfortable, and the treatment itself was wonderful, gentle and effective. Definitely returning for follow ups!
I have an amazing experience with Evoke. I felt so lost after leaving my medical fertility clinic, and finding out I had a couple issues. I had this over whelming feeling that things were out of my control and I had no options, until I was referred to Evoke, and met them. They have helped me create an actionable plan for achieving my goals. Knowing that I have a care team that is like family, is such a relief. The atmosphere, attitudes, and acupuncture leaves me feeling so amazing after every visit.
It is about a year that I use Evoke services po and I am really happy with outcome. First I went there for frozen shoulder. My shoulder is totally back to normal and there is no pain anymore. Neda also is helping me with nausea and my low energy after chemotherapy. It really helps me to gain back my energy after I get my chemo. I highly recommend Evoke services.thank you
Olivia is amazing! I came in today because I strained a muscle in my hip and lower back. I was in a lot of pain. Four hours later my back is feeling much better. I highly recommend Olivia and Evoke Acupuncture. All of the practitioners are 5 stars!
Angie has been my go-to acupuncturist for several years now. I am so grateful to her and the support she has given to me. From addressing my occasional physical issues to helping me right-size my emotional and spiritual struggles, Angies ability to deeply listen and give proper and useful feedback has been life changing for me. I am so grateful for the thoughtfulness and generosity that she brings to her work. I wholeheartedly recommend Angie and the rest of the Evoke team.
I have been coming to Evoke Acupuncture on a weekly basis for the last 6 months to treat a chronic condition that I have had for 5 years. From my initial assessment to my weekly treatments, Shuqing has applied strategies and techniques that have proven to yield positive results. While Western medicine is still integrated into my overall routine, my experience has been the quality of my life has been elevated through my treatments and wellness recommendations at Evoke Acupuncture. A special thank you to Shuqing Jing for your care, dedication and passion for what you do.Stephen
This was my first experience getting acupuncture. I am currently pregnant (High risk pregnancy). So I was a bit nervous coming in but my experience was amazing. The staff is friendly and I instantly felt relief with my hyperemisis and pregnancy pains. This is definitely something I will continue to do weekly!
Very nice and peaceful environment. Shuqing was knowledgeable and caring. I had a great experience!
Evoke acupuncture is a great place to go for acupuncture! I have been seeing Olivia and Angie there to help with issues I have had during my pregnancy such as nausea, getting back to sleep after I wake up to use the bathroom at night, and foot pain (pinched nerve). The weekly treatments I have received have been very helpful.They have several practitioners there who are very knowledgeable about and experienced with working with women who are pregnant.I highly recommend this place for acupuncture treatments.
Nice facility and I highly recommend Angie. I am sure the other practitioners are just as good. I originally started going to Angie a few years back for pre and post shoulder surgery and know the treatment made a difference in my recovery.Most recently I started seeing Angie at Evoke post knee surgery and the treatments are helping my recovery. I think continuing with treatments will just be a part of my preventative care moving forward. I was also having some sinus issues and the acupuncture has seemed to help this too.I highly recommend Cupping, Acupuncture and Moxibustion.
I’ve gone to Shuqing for a couple of times. She is very accommodating, compassionate and knowledgeable. She did cupping and acupuncture on the spots I felt a lot of pain and stiffness. My chronic pain was relieved significantly. I’m very pleased with the results.
Olivia is amazing. She remembers my needs and I feel like her care is individualized to just me. I appreciate her so much. The office feels like a sanctuary with the lighting, the music and aromatherapy- I know the practitioners care a lot about the space. Thanks Evoke for being there for me.
I have been seeing Angie for years whenever I have a cold, allergies or any other issue. Last year she helped me get over a muscular spasm. After multiple chiropractic sessions without much improvement she was able to get me back to normal in just 2 sessions of cupping and acupuncture. Recently I went back with some flu like symptoms and lower back pain and she got me back to normal in just 2 sessions. She also has recommended books and other resources which have always been exactly what I needed at the time. She is awesome!
Ive had two sessions with Angie ...and they made a significant difference in how I felt. Cupping is new to me but I gave it a try and was very impressed. Ill be doing THAT again. Acupuncture in the hands of a true professional like Angie can be effective for muscle issues and pinched nerves. Shes definitely a pro and its made such a difference that Ive begun to make it part of my self care and a first stop when I have an issue. Highly recommend Angie.
I have been fortunate to have Jing as my Acupuncturist for the past almost three years at Evoke.Jing is a gentle, attentive, brilliant doctor. She listens well, seeks to understand, and is innovative with her treatment techniques. It is clear that she does not go by the one-size-fits-all approach. Jing has helped me manage migraines, insomnia, hormone balancing and stress relief through acupuncture, cupping and herbs.I look forward to my weekly appointments at Evoke with Jing. If you are considering acupuncture, look no further - Jing has a gift and youd be lucky to experience it!
Shuqing is an excellent practitioner. She never fails to provide best treatment. I feel so much better after one session only. Shes extremely knowledgeable of her practice. Shes so polite and makes you feel comfortable during treatment.
I was extremely happy with my first visit with Shuqing Jing. She was caring, asking questions and listening. I am looking forward to more acupuncture treatments with her.
In the past two years I’ve had the opportunity to be under the care of Angie, Olivia and Laurel. Each of them has a lot to offer in helping me combat insomnia, anger, depression and anxiety. It’s been especially helpful for me as I just had a second baby and was able to avoid a recurrence of postpartum depression this time around. I wish that I had discovered Evoke before my first baby was born!
Neda genuinely cares about helping people and is the most skilled acupuncture practitioner Ive found. The Evoke Acupuncture office is extremely comfortable and inviting. I always leave feeling much better and with a positive outlook on my health. Highly recommended!
Evoke Acupuncture is organized, clean and excellent. I appreciate Alyssas genuine care and expertise in acupuncture and Chinese traditional medicine for treating complicated pain towards holistic healing.
Acupuncture has been the best decision for me in a long time. It has relaxed my body and mind in ways meditation or yoga have never been able to do. I highly recommend seeing Neda or any practitioner at Evoke!
I came to Evoke not certain if acupuncture would work out for me. I have cervical radiculopathy and had severe pain in my neck, shoulder, and right arm. Lets just say I was miserable could not work and life was not good. The pain was so bad I could not sleep much less sit still. From the moment I met Angie I knew I was in good hands. Its been almost a year and I have been pain free since. Its like the needles and cupping speak to my nerves and silence them. Angie is truly amazing and an expert in her craft. Angie has also helped alíviate my PMS symptoms. Im so blessed to have met Angie. She has really made my quality of life good again!
Laurel is amazing!! She’s very knowledgeable and responsive. She has taken her time to get to know my background and take make a great plan to address my concerns.
Fabulous. The clinic has a peaceful, calming mood, and has been consistently wonderful to work with. My treatments with Neda have helped immensely. An easy 5 stars!!
I love this place, its such a serene environment and the treatments help with anxiety and chronic pain.
I dont know what Id do without Neda. She is kind, listens and helps me with my medical issues. She fits me in her schedule when I need her. Her talent and knowledge for healing is beyond belief.
I felt comfortable with Jing. The environment is relaxing. This was my first session with Evoke Acupuncture and I am looking forward to coming back again next week to see Jing. I know I am in good hands
Angie has such an intuitive nature that lends to her healing touch. I’m beyond grateful to have her as my healthcare provider and as a wonderful referral for my patients!
Shuqing is a wonderful acupuncturist. She’s very friendly, professional, and careful. I enjoy working with her.
Best acupuncture clinic Ive been to! I love the range of tools they have to use beyond just the needles, particularly the fire cupping.
I had a great first experience at Evoke and looking forward to my next session.
Always look forward to my appt at evoke! The best place! Shuqing is my gal! So genlte and sweet. ❤️
I have been attending Evoke for about 6 months and have to stop attending because I’m moving out of the area but I’ve had an amazing experience. Highly recommend!
Alyssa is very knowledgeable, helpful, and kind! I highly recommend her!
Shuqing is amazing! She is so gentle, kind and caring, and also incredibly skilled.
