Reviews

No one treatment modality works for every patient.

Many physicians are educated by their patients on how effective acupuncture has worked for conditions that have been limited to various treatment options, refractory to medications or failed conventional therapies.

I am very grateful for the time patients took out of their busy day to leave reviews to share their experience.

Many patients have entrusted us to be a part of the healing process to find  some relief and normalcy from their pain…And for that I am truly appreciative.

Acupuncture is not a cure all or a magic bullet and does not work for every patient.

But, if you are in pain and have not tried acupuncture before then I guarantee  you will wish you tried it a long time ago.

At first I didn’t give much credence to the benefits of acupuncture, but Worker’s Comp. sent me here in lieu of having further cortisone injections which I have been relying on for approximately the last eight years. You know what though, I really think there’s something to this Eastern way of healing. The pain I suffered was mostly gone by the end of the initial six sessions during November and December 2018. It has now been about 8 months since my last session, and my chronic pain has returned. I requested another six sessions which begin next week. We’ll see how it goes, but as it stands I am discovering that I get just as much relief – and for the same length of time – with acupuncture as I do with cortisone injections.

Having suffered from an automobile accident in 2010 and enduring the physical strains of being a mail carrier for the US Postal Service the last 32 years, I have developed moderate to severe osteo arthritis in my knees, lower back and shoulders. The pain at times was so overwhelming I slept in a reclining chair for months. Since coming to The Healing Arts Health Center my pain and quality of life is tremendously better. Shaheed is right on point with my pain management. He is professional and knowledgeable and always knows exactly how to calm my pain down. If you haven’t tried the cupping you should, I love having it right after my acupuncture treatment. I also want to say his staff is great, they are always pleasant, friendly and accommodating. Thank you Shaheed!!!!

Shaheed has helped eliminate the pain from my carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, due to pregnancy and overuse of hands.  My chiropractor referred me here after my neurologist said physical therapy, acupuncture, and massage would not help.  I, too, was skeptical that needles in my legs would cure the pain in my hands.  I started out with two visits in a week, then once a week, then once every two weeks.  It is fascinating to see that he will put the needles on different spots–on my hands, legs, ears–to see which points are the most receptive.   I feel better a LOT better –it doesn’t hurt to open a jar or turn the doorknob or use the mouse on my computer; and the treatment has lasted between visits! 

He is very knowledgeable, easy going, answers my questions, friendly, professional, and just a nice guy.  He is really likable and has a pleasant bedside manner. I recommend wearing pants that can roll up and comfortable clothing since you are resting for a good 45-60 minutes with the needles and drinking water afterwards.  He even agreed to treat me for tightness in my traps at no extra charge! I am very pleased to have him provide me treatment.

HAHC Review

In September 2009 I started having problems. My left knee was popping, locking and giving out. I went to a chiropractor in December and he sent me to have an MRI. I was diagnosed with moderate to severe patellar chondromalacia. I was told by the orthopedic surgeon that I could have surgery that was only 60% effective or have injections. I was also told to limit my activities. I decided to try acupuncture.

I started treatment with Shaheed in early January. My symptoms were eased after my first treatment. Almost immediately all my symptoms were relieved. It has been 9 months and I am so happy. I have no symptoms and I am back doing all the activities I did last summer. This is without any treatments other than acupuncture.

What I like best about acupuncture is that there are no side effects. I enjoy my sessions. It is nice to sit and relax.

I will continue to recommend Shaheed to my friends.

I have been suffering from migraines for more than half my life and my doctor referred me to Shaheed this past July, as part of my pain management. I started out seeing him twice a week, but now am down to only once a week and soon will be only going once a month. My daily pain is down from a 6 to a 3 - something I had never experienced before. I have gone off some of my daily medications and learned some acupressure points to help alleviate the pain when necessary as well. It's been a great relief.

The staff is great as well - very supportive! I recommend them left and right to everyone I meet.

The Best Accupunture in San Diego area

I've been to seven different acupuncturist in San Diego, Rancho Bernardo and Poway. Shaheed is one of the best by far. His treatment is excellent, the cupping is wonderful. I felt so relaxed afterward, which I never felt from the rest of the acupuncturist I've been to. Highly recommended. 🙂

Amazing

Acupuncture was amazing...I felt so relaxed afterward and my pain was virtually gone. Following the acupuncture I also had a massage which was one of the best massages I have ever had by far. I have already made recommendations to people!

1st time Acupuncture

Friendly staff with massages. Going back to get another one and probably one more session for back problems. Went in with pain at 7 and left with 2. Very effective and glad I tried it

Acupuncture at Healing Arts Health Center

First time having acupuncture with Mr. Abdullah. I went to the Center with sciatic pain which I could hardly walk. He cured not only the CAUSE of my pain but he's treating other areas as well. I'm very pleased, indeed.

Healing Arts review

It is the frist time I have acupuncture. I was nervous at first but they answered all my questions and were very nice. I felt relaxed as soon as I walked in the office. The atmosphere in the office is great. Acupuncture is really working for me. I highly recommended.

An excellent Acupuncture location in San Diego.

Shaheed listens well, takes notes and responses to those needs. He is polite and friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They don't rush you out the door but give your treatment time to work. I am satisfied.

Caring, thorough care

I was impressed by all of the services at HAHC. The massage therapist was wonderful and very concerned about my needs. She made sure she was firm enough but wasn't hurting me. My accupuncturist was also very good, finding the points that needed treating and efficiently placing the needles. While I'm not fully better, it certainly made a difference!

Migraines

I had my first acupunctue with Shaheed yesterday and my headache was surpisingly gone when I left. I did not take any headache medicine for the first time in months. I am excited about this new treatment option and Shaheen made the experience relaxing in spite of those little needles sticking out of my body!

Feng shui approved! Great customer service! Comfortable, Relaxing and Warm.

Acupuncture can be scary but Shaheed makes it a breeze.

He is very professional and gentle.

He continuously asks questions to make sure you’re comfortable while he’s doing acupuncture and cupping.

He treated my allergies, back/neck pains and boosted my energy all at once!

We did cupping for the neck and back pains which felt like a luxurious massage!

I’ve already booked my next service in 2 weeks!

Thanks Shaheed for all that you’ve done! See you soon.

Hips we’re sore from standing for long hours at work and cycling; now I’m healed again by Shaheed!

He has magical hands and so much knowledge.

I love going in every two weeks for acupuncture.

I’ve done cupping too!

I plan on cupping every 1-2 months for a good detox or sore back.

I would recommend Shaheed to anyone.

Testimonials

Healing Arts Health Center's Gong Fu is Very Strong

As one drives up to the clinic there is ample door to door service parking. Upon entering the pristine facility one encounters the warm friendly smiles of Leslie, the helpful office manager. Also greeting you upon entrance is the fountain statue of a Buddha, often bubbling in ethereal tranquility. The comfortable waiting room is replete with valuable reading material, a prosperous plant, and drinking water (not that I have ever spent very much time there; service is pretty expedient). So far, in my mind, these were all immediate indications of being in the right place. The friendly office staff then escorts you to one of the many treatment rooms where you will be most comfortable. Perhaps you will enjoy treatment seated in a Lazboy chair, or laying upon a massage table. I personally often deliver my elaborate patient narrative from the Lazboy, and then migrate to the massage table for receiving acupuncture. Acupuncture in the Lazboy was a unique experience (definitely East meets West). After being escorted to my treatment room; where I organized my thoughts about how to best communicate that which I was experiencing; I was soon greeted by one of the most humble; genuine; respectful; unassuming; polite; educated; sincere; caring; professional; knowledgeable; compassionate; quality; down to earth; consummate professional health care practitioners walking the Earth- Shaheed Abdullah. This man's thorough understanding, comprehension, and implementation of Chinese medicine is un-matched in my search, findings, and previous experience. His bed side manner; listening skills; intelligence; wit; orientation toward results; passion for his profession; sincere interest in his patients; and providing the very best of care; is revealed every step of the way! Shaheed's art form of the "Rapid Recovery Method" has considerably mitigated my pain levels and the fluctuations thereof, with increasingly improved range and tolerance. He keeps me on my feet, and in the gym. I am now able to progress through my physical therapy exercises, and even augment with weight training again (Yeeeaaahh!!). My acupuncture treatments generally last between 45 and 60 minutes, this is not including my patient narrative, which is often especially loquacious. If you are ready to feel better, facilitate and expedite your body's natural healing process, and require the best care available. I encourage you to schedule an appointment at Healing Arts Health Center in San Diego : ) I wish I were a professional athlete or famous actor, so that this review may have more clout, but I am just a satisfied everyday UCSD student : ) !
