“After sitting down and talking with you one on one, and reading your website info, I felt very comfortable knowing you were the one doing this and that I would not have to worry while you were doing this. First of all you gave me a feeling of security that you were very knowledgeable and caring. One look at your wall of degrees and anyone will know you have the knowledge and ability, and then you add that personal touch that you care about each and everyone who walks through the door. Just that feeling of security alone makes you special over many.” – R.L.S.

“This clinic offers the best in alternative medicine. Dr. Ann Yu’s experience and credentials exceed any other practitioner in acupuncture that I have found. Her practice is professional yet very warm and inviting. She has always been able to address and treat my needs without exception. I recommend Dr Yu to anyone looking for another choice in medicine that includes herbs and other methods of treatment. I cannot say enough great things about Lumina AcuClinic.” – Y.G.

“This is the best acupuncture experience I have ever had. Ann really takes time to tailor the treatment to meet your specific needs, and is friendly and welcoming! Her treatments have helped me so much, in ways that doctors have not been able to. Additionally, the clinic is very calming and soothing- dimmed lights, heat lamps, etc.” – W.M.

“Dr. Ann is very thorough. She listens to the symptoms and suggests a plan of action. She treats the whole person. Acupuncture is not painful in anyway. We have found that you can feel results immediately. She will also make referrals to other professionals if that’s what she feels you need. Her hours are convenient and so is the location.” – K.R.

“I have been a patient for over a year and it has been an excellent experience. Appointments are always on time… no waiting! The office is nicely decorated, and there is usually pleasant incense burning. Treatment rooms are clean, quiet and comfortable. Office staff is very friendly and efficient. Ann Yu does high quality acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, including the use of Chinese herbs. She is a fully qualified Doctor in China. She is very careful and professional.” – S.H.

“I’ve been Dr. Yu’s patient for 8 months and she has worked wonders. As a former college athlete and current exercise enthusiast, I have decades of wear and tear on my body. I was referred to Ann by my physician to receive treatment for debilitating nerve pain in my elbow and chronic back pain. After a few months of regular treatments my elbow pain dissipated and I was able to resume upper-body resistance training for the first time in three years. I held little hope that Dr. Yu could address my back issues. A litany of tests over the years show significant structural issues. Moreover, the list of highly regarded physicians and physical therapists, including specialists from Cedars-Sinai and Duke Spine Center, who have attempted and ultimately failed to treat my chronic back issues over the years is lengthy. Much to my surprise and delight, after several months in Ann’s care my back pain has significantly diminished. I don’t know why her treatments work, but I know that they do. Western medicine’s solutions were inadequate and fruitless. Ann’s holistic, Eastern approach offered a solution to my issues, and for that, I’m grateful. To those who have not tried acupuncture and other forms of Chinese medicine, some words of advice: keep an open mind and commit to the process. One session will not fix you and ongoing care is essential to achieving and maintaining wellness. Ann’s professionalism and medical expertise are without question, but it’s her patience and compassion that created the safe environment I needed to trust the process.” – C.P.

“I entered her office with numbness, tingling and acute discomfort that day. She greeted me with that warm smile, addressed my questions about acupuncture and then thoroughly informed me on what would happen next. I was in awe and amazed on the fact that she inserted 3 needles near my thumb and right wrist area and within 30 seconds or less my extreme discomfort was gone. I can say that my bursitis has nearly dissipated. I really appreciate the holistic atmosphere that Lumina Acuclinic presents. From the time you enter the door my mental senses goes into RR mode (soft music, water trickling, aromatherapy in place). Thank you Ann for your genuine concern for my health as well as sharing in my successes.” – R.C.

“I was in an auto accident two and a half months ago. Another speeding car hit mine from behind while I was stopped. This resulted in severe head, neck, shoulders, back and ankle pain. I had been going to a chiropractor for about six weeks which resulted in about fifty percent relief of my pain, but as I continued with this form of treatment the pain was not decreasing. Instead, I began to hurt more during and after each treatment. It was at this time that someone recommended that I visit Lumina AcuClinic. After my first visit and treatment I felt a dramatic relief from my pains. Since then my relief has been progressive with each treatment. I have been treated twice a week for the past two weeks, and at this point I feel well over ninety five percent improved.” – E.W.

“I have suffered from chronic back pain for a number of years and the treatments I have received from Lumina AcuClinic have been outstanding and beneficial. Her care far exceeds our hopes; additionally, she has reduced the pain in my legs and has begun working with my ankle joints. I am also receiving care for digestive disorders. After only a few treatments, I feel so much better. I would recommend her care to anyone.” – D.G.

“For the past year, I have suffered from severe leg pain. Four X-Rays & two MRI’s showed only a tear in a muscle. The muscle tear healed, but the pain did not diminish, only got worse. The Sports Medicine Physician and the Orthopedic Surgeon suggested Physical Therapy. After weeks of the therapy and numerous visits with Orthopedic Surgeons and them saying, ‘I can’t find anything wrong with your leg’ I decided to try acupuncture. After talking with Ann and her touching my leg, she knew exactly what the pain was coming from. After just one treatment, I could feel the difference in the pain in my leg. It took several more sessions and I was able to resume my normal activities without any leg pain. Thanks to Ann’s training, skill and care I have my life back. She’s a Miracle Worker.” – C.W.

“I’ve had migraines for over 30 years despite prescription medicines and over the counter supplements. In the month before I started acupuncture I had 11 migraines. I started acupuncture with Dr. Yu two months ago and have not had a migraine in 7 weeks, with no medications. Highly recommended for fellow migraineurs!” – D.S.

“I also suffer from severe vertigo and multiple types of migraines in which she has healed by using the technique of neuro-acupuncture. Dr. Ann is extremely knowledgeable and works very hard to ensure each visit shows a significant improvement in my condition. I would never again go for acupuncture to anyone other than Lumina AcuClinic. She is actually 100 of 5 stars – she really is that good.” -V.E.

“Dr. Ann worked a miracle on my migraines. I suffered for years and tried so many medications and treatments. I’m so mad I didn’t try this sooner.” – H.S.

“After doing research on the internet, I decided to go to Lumina AcuClinic to see Dr. Enhong (Ann) Yu for IBS. She understood what I was struggling with and said that she could help me. She devised a treatment plan for me that included acupuncture, nutrition and herbs. I am happy to say, the plan has worked very well for me and I feel so much better! My system has responded so positively that I am now functioning on my own. Dr. Ann was so patient with me. Her kind, gentle nature helped to address my initial apprehension about the acupuncture process. She has also created a beautiful office with a peaceful environment that puts you at ease and helps you to relax. It was truly a very positive experience. And at this point I could not be happier with the results! I am so happy to have found Dr. Ann and recommend her to anyone struggling with chronic conditions.” – G.G.

“I went to Dr. Ann with a bad case of diverticulosis, constipation, stress and weight loss. My VA gastroenterologist said my only option was a colon re-section. Within a week of being treated with acupuncture, diet and herbs by Dr. Ann, I was quickly on my way to recovery. I now feel great! Dr. Ann and her office manager, Melissa are wonderful and I would highly recommend them.” – J. S.

“Her care far exceeds our hopes; additionally, she has reduced the pain in my legs and has begun working with my ankle joints. I am also receiving care for digestive disorders. After only a few treatments, I feel so much better. I would recommend her care to anyone.” – D.G.

“You are an awesome doctor to work with and I would recommend you to anyone to help with nerve issues. You see I had nerve issues that were just the worst kind. They went from my lower back all the way to my toes. Didn’t make sense. We tried nerve blocks but to no avail. So we got busy with acupuncture – this was a whole new process. The outcome was well worth it. I am now healing slowly but at least in a better frame of mind. I no longer think about what happened but what’s happening. I am feeling less strain on my back. I would recommend you to anyone for whole health healing. Thank you again for helping me to improve my medical issues, and being a part of the team healing me.” – R.L.S.

“Yes, this rating is as good as it gets because I was seen as soon as possible for a shingles outbreak. I was on vacation in Wilmington and woke up with shingles! I found Ann Yu, L.Ac. very attentive with appropriate questions and then went about placing the needles where needed. I am a frequent receiver of acupuncture and believe it helps relieve pain and moves the healing process through the body. With that treatment and herbs, I was able to enjoy my vacation without pain. Dr. Yu also checked in with me by telephone 5 days later. It doesn’t get much better than that! If I lived in Wilmington, I would continue to see Dr. Yu for my various acupuncture needs.” – B.J.

“I have diabetic retinopathy and have undergone traditional treatment (shots in each eye) for one year. There has been very little change; the retinologist recommended surgery as the only answer. After only two treatments with Dr. Yu, I had a monthly check and my eyes had improved so much the retinologist thought the tests were wrong! One eye had improved two lines on the eye chart, the other one line. I cannot express how FANTASTIC I feel this is. Dr. Yu is extremely professional and researched my condition before our first appointment. Thank you Dr. Yu!” – J.M.
