I used to be scared of acupuncture. But Reiko changed all that in the first ten minutes of my first session. Reiko’s treatments are painless, gentle and totally relaxing. She is very thorough and analytical in her diagnosis of the root cause of your physical symptoms, including how your emotions are tied in.

Since I began acupuncture, Reiko has successfully treated many issues including depression, a painful wrist injury, a burn on my hand, symptoms from the flu, and menstrual problems.

Acupuncture with Reiko has made my nervous system much stronger which has naturally improved my emotional health. I honestly don’t know how I would have made it through 2020 without Reiko! She’s a life-saver! If you are ready to heal, I highly recommend investing in acupuncture treatments with Reiko. The rewards are priceless!

Reiko at Kenko Acupuncture has my highest recommendation. I came to her with chronic sciatica, a "trigger" finger, and numbness in my hand due to neck issues. My sciatica is better than it has been in 10 years, almost a memory! My "trigger" finger is gone and my numbness in my hand is 95% improved. With Reiko's perceptive treatments, I look forward to a pain free day very soon and I am almost there! I cannot recommend Reiko and Kenko Acupuncture more highly, she is the Best!

Acupuncture is better than western Dr treatments & medication. Reiko is amazing. I never had acupuncture before and in a few months I felt so much better. I had years of medical treatment and medications for stomach pain, nausea & headaches. Reiko knew how to treat each problem. After a few sessions I had less nausea, stomach pain & headaches.

I am a long time patient of Dr. Aoo, started when she worked at Studio City, she treated me on a range of issues, like lower back pain, allergies, body balance tune up or even hair lost, all arrived with satisfactory results. She is reopening the practice at Pasadena, I have visited her a few times since then, her needle techniques are even better, her bedside manner is pleasant, I strongly recommend her to any one in need of acupuncture treatments.

I had never tried acupuncture before and I am so grateful that my first experience was with Reiko Aoo. She made me feel very comfortable and she diagnosed my issues right away! I hardly had to say a thing and she knew exactly what to do! In addition to the treatment in her office she gave me some great advice about my diet and lifestyle! I had suffered from a pretty serious muscle pull in my lower back and I could hardly walk. After two treatments with Reiko I was standing up straight again! I cannot recommend her enough!

Reiko is an excellent acupuncture practitioner, and a very kind person. So far, I've had some promising results from her treatments (my condition is Parkinson's).

- Dan K.

Reiko is courteous, professional, seems very knowledgeable, and genuinely cares.  I have been seeing her for about a month, and have seen modest improvements in my condition (Parkinson’s). I recommend her for anyone who wants to try acupuncture.

I saw Reiko for my depression and anxiety. She is an amazing doctor. Kind and compassionate, excellent bedside manner. Really makes you feel seen and heard. A doctor with a lot of heart, which is rare these days. Treatment was subtle but profound. Like I said, I visited her to work on depression and related issues, and after the first treatment, I had a major breakthrough in my mental health. I cannot recommend her more highly.

I have seen Reiko on and off for years. She is truly gifted in her field. As a rehabilitative massage therapist myself I refer my clients to her when I know they can benefit from seeing her. She is kind and listens. Very diligent and genuine about wanting to alleviate whatever the issue may be for the patient. Her space is very clean, spacious and beautiful. She has helped me and my family with many ailments over the years. You leave feeling so good. And you are feeling so good because what she does works. The only acupuncturist I would see and refer. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend coming here. I have nothing but praise and admiration for Kenko acupuncture. Went in for anxiety and digestive issue and she has helped me tremendously! Thank you!

- Christopher S.

Reiko is a gifted healer. She has a wonderful bedside manner and I could sense from my first treatment that she cared about helping me feel better. Since Reiko has been treating me, the pains in my neck and spine have substantially decreased. I highly recommend Reiko. She's the best.

When I first came to have acupuncture with Reiko, I had extreme swelling in my knee whereas I couldn’t bend or fully extend my knee. I have had only 4 treatments, thus far, and the swelling is almost gone and I can now bend and extend my knee.

Her treatment of Qigong energy healing and moxa has helped my knee enormously. Her strong belief in her skills and abilities is applied in her treatments for healing to begin in the body. Her office has a very calm, peaceful and tranquility atmosphere. The treatment rooms are very clean and dust free.

Reiko is a very caring person and I fully recommend that anyone that has pain and/or swelling should definitely come to Kenko acupuncture. You will not regret it.

Reiko is amazing. She just studied up north with an amazing acupuncturist and is back in California, now in Pasadena. She is a true professional and so great at what she does. I felt safe, comfortable, educated, and SO much better after my first visit. I can only imagine how much better it will be once I keep visiting her! Highly recommend.

Dr. Reiko is quite effective with her treatments. She is professional and has great bedside manner. Best of all she is genuinely concerned about her patients and is quite caring.

I didn’t believe in non-western medicine prior to being a patient of hers, but was compelled to seek alternative pain management treatments after a neck injury from a car accident and ulcers that developed from the anti-inflammatory medication. With an incessant pain level of 9, I was willing to try anything.

Since treatment began, my pain level has reduced significantly to where I no longer need daily pain meds. It’s been over two years now and I go to her for health maintenance and ailments that spring up.

Reiko is very successful in caring for eliminating my pains that I have experienced.
