Welcome to People’s Acupuncture, Bellevue, located on Bel-Red Rd. and 130th. We treat all patients whether you have insurance coverage or not. We accept most insurance plans. Please check the Insurance Page for more detail and the list of Insurance companies that we can work with. We will consider financial hardship cases per patient request.
Our treatment encompasses Acupuncture and a number of applicable modalities such as Chinese Herbs and dietary therapy that are part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine. We have a full-service Chinese herbal dispensary with over 300 varieties of herbs. We do refer patients to Qigong and Tai Ji exercise classes with a highly experienced instructor, as additional efforts to enhance your health at home.
Please check “Events” page of our website for educational workshops and speaking engagements that we periodically offer to help you learn more about this wonderful medicine.
We only use sterile, disposable, single-use acupuncture needles. These needles are hair thin in diameter, causing very little pain with experienced and safe needling techniques — 40 of the most thin acupuncture needles could fit inside a large hypodermic needle.
