I originally went to Irvine Acupuncture as my first option on correcting my knee pain. In the past year, I started running more and have been in multiple 10K's and even did my first half marathon. Only issue was the knee pain I had after the races. I have held back on running until recently when I ran a 10K and to my surprise I had no pain after the race or even a few days after the race. I told Ray..that whatever he is doing..is Majic!! I am definitely a big believer of Acupuncture and especially a big fan of Irvine Acupuncture. Pros: Have a healthy knee again more

Ray is very professional and I felt calm during my treatment. In three visits my pain was gone by 50 percent. I lost my job but would really like to continue the acupuncture as it was the only treatment that worked after visiting traditional medical doctors for three years. I highly recommend Irvine Acupuncture. I've already referred many friends and family members. Keep up the high quality of care and the time you spend with your patients. Thank you! Pros: Fast pain relief without medication drugs more

Two years ago I came down with a malady that caused me to lose the ability to walk. I was losing my balance and both ankles and feet were swollen to the point that I could not wear shoes! I was referred to Ray when traditional medicine failed to work.. After only a few (3)sessions, I regained my balance, and the swelling was gone! Although initially skeptical of non-traditional medicine, I have actual proof that acupuncture is the way to go. Ray is so supportive and understanding. I would encourage anyone to visit Irvine Acupuncture - You will not be sorry.! Pros: Ray is a kind, caring, and concerned Practioner more

There are many words to describe my experience with Reza Tafazoli, at Irvine Acupuncture but the first that come to mind are: 1.) Professionalism, 2.) Friendliness, 3.) Compassion, 4.) Detailed, 5.) Expertise, 6.) Respect and 7.) Honesty. I am an avid distance runner, and had injured my right knee. After waiting for the pain and inflammation to subside over several months I finally decided to make an appointment to see Reza. All I have to say is....I'm able to run over 7 miles again without knee swelling and pain. Simple.....He's a true technician and artist in his profession. Reza, I appreciate and thank you so much for what you were able to do. Pros: In every way.... Cons: Absolutely none... more

I suffer from neck and shoulder pains due to stress several times a year(EVERY YEAR). I was getting used to having these pains for several weeks at a time and had to wait it out by suffering and taking pills, but now all I do is make a trip to Mr. Tafazolie's office and the pain is gone after only 2 acupuncture treatments... I swear by Mr. Tafazolie's work and recommend it to everyone... I also do cupping after my acupuncture treatments because it shortens the process and leaves you with a warm relaxing sensation for 2-3 days... It really feels like he takes off 1000 pound off of my shoulders... If you're afraid of needles, like I am, ask him to do his relaxing technique on you, OMG it does wonders. Over all I'm very happy with his work and actually look forward to my neck pains so I can go rest in his office and get his relaxing treatments... Pros: Very fast results in a relaxing environment more

My Carpel Tunnel was acting up again and after three sessions at Irvine Acupuncture the pain went away. I continued to go even after my hand pain to improve my immune system. To my surprise I passed the last flu season (with two kids in the house) without getting sick. I am very grateful for all the care and the ancient wisdom that was given to me at Irvine Acupuncture. Pros: Professional, clean, friendly, and relaxing environment Cons: None. more

I have suffered from increasing facial pain from TMJ over the past few years, and have tried a ton of different approaches to relieving it. After just a few sessions with Reza, pain and tension in my jaw had been significantly reduced. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking relief from any sort of facial pain disorder. more

Reza is one of the best acupuncturist?s I?ve ever been to. I highly recommend him. I have been extremely happy with his service and my results! Reza is an excellent practitioner with a very gentle touch, a calm caring manner and a very professional approach. And most importantly ? I have gotten nearly immediate results from his treatments. \r \r As a patient of Reza?s for nearly a year, I have been seeing him for two issues: First, for a nervous stomach and then, most recently, for weight loss. My nervous stomach has decreased by over 70% in intensity since starting my treatment - a miracle! I?ve been struggling with it for over 20 years and nothing has worked prior to acupuncture! \r \r And for weight loss, over the course of 4 months, I have lost 12 pounds which I attribute solely to his treatments. My hunger has decreased by over half and I am better able to control my hunger in general. I watched myself lose about a pound a week and now that I?ve reached my goal weight, the weight has stayed off. \r \r A general note about acupuncture for the squeamish: I promise you acupuncture does not hurt and the benefits are astounding. Most people are afraid of needles and the possibility of pain. No need! Acupuncture does not hurt at all. At worst, for one initial nanosecond, it feels like a slight, mild pin pick. The benefits, on the other hand, last forever. The whole process is completely painless and very comfortable. \r \r In addition, his office is extremely clean and attractive. Again I highly recommend him! more
