I had been dealing with really bad stomach problems, headaches, and migraines for a while and the dizziness just would not quit. I literally could not sit in front of my laptop for any stretch of time which was starting to mess with my work. A friend told me to go see Dr Deb and honestly that might be the best advice I could’ve gotten. During the session i could already notice a real difference in the headaches, migraines, stomach, and the dizziness too…

I struggled with migraines shortly after childbirth. After trying countless treatments, Dr. Deb helped me resolve this in just a month. She also shared massaging tips to release tension. I'm now able to handle my work and household chores without having to deal with debilitating headaches. I really appreciate it, Dr. Deb!

I went to Puzzle for help with my sleep issues. Honestly, I was nervous at first to get acupuncture. Dr Deb’s expertise stands out. she took time to explain everything, was gentle and caring, and walked me through the process step by step. Her calm energy put me at ease and the acupuncture was so relaxing! I’m sleeping better than I have in ages. Highly recommend.

I met Dr. Ma at a healing fair where she gave me a very intuitive mini-massage and scraping session. Unlike many acupuncturists, Dr. Ma: Used cheek acupuncture, a technique that I hadn't heard of in the USA. Worked on me almost the whole session, unlike acupuncturists who stick needles and then leave. First palpated most of my body with their hands, including my belly. They found key spots that no other provider found…

Having experienced many different types of acupuncture, I found my session with Dr. Deb to be both highly effective and impactful. Throughout the treatment, I felt significant changes in muscle tension that were hard to ignore.

What sets Dr. Deb apart is her hands-on, attentive approach. She stayed with me for the entire session, asking questions and adjusting needle placement in real time based on my feedback. She also guided me through specific movements while the needles were in place, and I could feel the tension and tightness gradually release…

I was recommended to Dr Deb by my surgeon. After a C-section complication left me unable to move one of my feet, I thought I'd never walk normally again. Dr. Deb gave me hope with her 3-month treatment plan with some modern techniques, combined with personalized herbal medicine. She also taught me rehabilitation exercises that I could do at home. Thanks to her comprehensive approach, I'm walking again…

I came across Puzzle acupuncture and was curious about the cheek acupuncture. I just wanted to try and relax but Dr. Debbie ended up finding out about my sleep problem and uncovered some neck muscles tension. She was very gentle and explained the process all the way. The neck tension disappeared after a few minutes and I have been able to sleep all night long ! Which did not happen for several month ! I really recommend Puzzle acupuncture as Dr. Debbie is passionate about her work and I am so grateful she has been able to give me my sleep back! Deeply healing !

Dr. Deb has been so incredible for me. After visiting countless doctors/specialists for various health issues ranging from UTIs, acid reflux, hives, anxiety/sleep issues, and over use muscle pain, Dr. Deb was the only one I stuck with. She listened intently to all my symptoms no matter how unrelated and always checked backed in on them. She's the first doctor that made me feel human and not like just another nameless number. Through many techniques (acupuncture, scraping, herbal soup recipes) she's helped me through all of my listed health issues. She's incredibly kind and fun to talk to, I've enjoyed all of our heartfelt conversations in my sessions. I truly couldn't vouch for her enough, she's awesome!

Amazing Chinese medicine doctor and acupuncturist!! I feel so lucky to find her while scrolling RedNote. I drive all the way from Menlo Park to SF to see her each week and that’s how good she is.

She helped me with all my neck and shoulder issue, digestive issues, hot flashes, and sleeping problem…

Frequently Asked Questions

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients find acupuncture deeply relaxing. The needles are hair-thin, and insertion is typically painless. You might feel a slight sensation, but it shouldn't be uncomfortable.

How many treatments will I need?

Every puzzle is unique. Some patients see improvement after one session, while others benefit from a series. I'll create a realistic treatment plan based on your specific condition and goals.

Do you accept insurance?

We do not accept insurance. However, I can provide you with a “super bill” that has all the correct codes, which you may be able to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement depending on your policy. Please call your insurance provider to see if you have out-of-network coverage for acupuncture. We accept HSA and FSA cards.

Can I continue my other treatments and medications?

Absolutely. I work collaboratively with your existing healthcare team and will never ask you to stop treatments prescribed by other providers.

Do you treat children?

Yes! I specialize in pediatric care for children 6 months and older, with gentle, child-centered approaches developed through years of specialized practice.
