We had a great experience with Doctor Ava today. My daughter was seen for wrist pain, and Doctor Ava was professional, patient, and kind to children. We really appreciated the excellent care and would highly recommend Doctor Ava to others!

Dr Ave super nice, professional, patient and friendly. She took the time to thoroughly explain the root cause of my symptoms and provided targeted treatment to address the underlying issues. There was a significant improvement after just my first session! Highly recommend!
I had been dealing with lower back pain and decided to try acupuncture. Ava was wonderful! I noticed a significant improvement after the treatment, and my back recovered much faster this time than I expected. Ava was very professional, gentle, and caring. I’m really happy with my experience and would definitely recommend her!

I went to see Dr. Ava Zhang for a neck pain. It is my first time to be treated with acupuncture. The result was amazing! I could barely turn my neck, or raise my head when I came in. After 1 hour session, my neck can move much more. 2 days later I went back for a follow-up and after another 1 hour session, I was able recover almost 90% and in the following few days I was able to completely recover. Dr. Zhang is very professional, knowledgeable, and patient. I highly recommend Dr. Ava Zhang and will definitely go back if needed.
My son injured his wrist and came to see Dr. Ava, renowned for her expertise. After the examination, she immediately identified the issue. The techniques used are those applied to professional athletes with injuries. His condition improved right after the treatment—it was amazing. Dr. Ava is exceptionally professional and wonderful. It provides excellent support for children involved in sports.
Highly recommend Dr. Ava! My son had been struggling with a wrist sprain for almost a month, which was preventing him from doing his squash training. We walked in today without an appointment, and Dr. Ava was extremely welcoming and kind. She even waived our initial consultation fee! Her technique is excellent—after the treatment, my son immediately felt significant relief in his wrist with much better mobility and way less pain. Truly grateful for her great care!

Five years of recurring tennis elbow despite multiple PT treatments—and Dr. Ava made it pain-free in five minutes with one needle. Amazing!!!
The treatment outcome was amazing. I twisted my ankle and feel not recovered for a long time. Certain spots felt hurt while walking on paved roads or running. After just one session, I felt much better. After 3 sessions, I feel almost fully recovered. High recommend this place!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ava. I was experiencing a pain on my quads. I found her through friend recommendation. She responded quickly and was able to squeeze an hour for me within the same day. Treated me for less than 20mins and the pain is gone. Thanks Dr. Ava!
This is our second time bringing my son to Ava for a sports injury—the first time was about a year ago. Both times, the results have been amazing. She knows exactly where the problem is, and he feels noticeably better right after the treatment. We’re so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her for sports injuries!
