Professional and straight forward. You will get proper care. Reza knows what he is doing and his work has helped me.

Came in for a pain I been having in my neck. Reza has been treating my neck and back by cupping followed with acupuncture. He has also provided me with some exercises to do at home. Ever since I have been going to him my pain has gone down. My posture has been improving. My stress levels have gone down. I am overall more relaxed. I am becoming more knowledgeable about my own body. I also love the relaxing music that’s played during the sessions and the overall feel of the place.

Amazing healing experience. I went to Rezas acupuncture office 3 times in the matter of one week and it healed the nerve pain I was having from my shoulder to my lower back, legs, and my middle fingers. I woke up one day with this incredibly strange pain, my middle fingers felt like they were broken. Through the first day of treatment I could not feel an instant relief, but after the 3rd acupuncture treatment, I had a wave of total relief from these pains. The whole experience was relaxing, relieving, and at the same time rigorous. I wanted to try acupuncture, because I personally believe western medicine should be avoided until completely necessary. Through this process with Rezas acupuncture, I experienced a more natural approach to healing. I will recommend to all my friends!

I would highly recommend Irvine Acupuncture. I have received so far 7 treatments and have noticed a positive difference in how I feel overall after each treatment. I plan to continue receiving further treatments.Reys demeanor is very professional as well as knowledgeable. I felt right away at ease speaking with him, and I appreciated his honesty in answering my questions. I never felt rushed nor ignored during any of my appointments.I will admit that I am not the ideal patient, especially since I have an issue with arriving late or even forgetting my appointment due to my busy work schedule. Rey has been very patient, understanding, and flexible with my situation.

This place was amazing! I visited with Ray on my first visit and explained where my pain was. I had pain for over a year in my left hamstring from a Taekwondo black belt injury over a year ago and I was not able to get rid of it. I met with Rey for probably 8-10 visits in which he was able to able to completely rid me of this frustrating pain! I also explained I had some moderate stress level and some mild anger issues. Rey was amazing with my injury visits and he was able to target these stress and anger challenges I was having and I am happy to say I am now an an entirely different person. Rey and his practice are a must go to for probably every ale meant you have. Reys bed side manner are very comforting and extremely easy to talk to. I have been taking vitamins that he recommended which have really paid off in my health and how I feel. I also have a very busy travel work schedule which I am sometimes late and even have to reschedule from time to time. Rey has been very accommodating and understanding thank you Rey for everything!!!

I have had an inner ear infection with some serious vertigo which brings on dizziness and vomiting. Two ER visits and two visits to a GP with no concrete results. I have had four visits with Rey and it has helped immensely. I would highly recommend Rey he is very knowledgeable and professional with a good sense of humor.

He is very smart, professional and personable and extremely gentle and comforting and informative.i have been suffering from back pain for more than 3 years and tried everything such as chiropractors ,physical therapy , epidural injection and finally surgery and got worse. until i tried acupuncture and specially seeing Dr reza , was inflection point of my healing journey. if you have sciatica and back pain you have to see him and you will see the result in few sessions!!!God bless him and his workHighly recommended !!!!!

A nicer man there could not be. His facility is great, he knows his stuff, and he gets results! Couldnt be happier.

Im from out-of-the-area and am spending the summer in Irvine. Ive had chronic upper back pain for 30 years. About 11 years ago my pain disappeared after 3-4 months of acupuncture and cupping. Now I live in the Midwest and dont get acupuncture on a regular or even semi-regular basis. As a result, my back pain has crept back into my life. Being that I am in Irvine for the summer, I decided to start acupuncture again. But this time i only have 7 weeks for treatment.Based on the numerous excellent reviews on both google and yelp, I opted to try Irvine Acupuncture. I am glad I did. Ray is excellent. He has excellent techniques. He truly cares about each patient. He is professional, personable, polite and punctual. His office is clean and organized. Ive been coming for 6 wks (2x/wk) now and my upper back pain is so much better. The pain is almost gone and my range of motion has improved. Ray implements many various techniques - some techniques i never experienced before. So I am excited to experience each session with Ray. Im already sad that im leaving Irvine next week to go back to the Midwest. But I am happy I feel so much better.Bottom line: if you have pain, stress/anxiety, headaches, or just want a tune-up....come to Irvine Acupuncture. Youll be happy you did.

Was diagnosed with cervical bone spurs, pain and stiffness in the neck was very uncomfortable Reza with his acupuncture, neck massages and with mild stretching sessions helped me tremendously..He even guaranteed that his sessions will make me play better golf and cut strokes from my golf game. Well it did help me with enjoying my game of golf by not being in pain due to my sessions with Reza.. Will highly recommend Irvine Acupuncture

I highly recommend Irvine Acupuncture for treatments!! Reza is professional, attuned to helping the body facilitate its healing, and able to address the problem and get results in the first couple of visits. My training in Aikido (a Japanese martial arts) took a toll on my shoulders, neck, and elbow. Within the first 2-3 visits at Irvine Acupuncture the pain, throbbing, and discomfort significantly reduced so I could sleep better, have more ease at work, and continue training on the mat. Thank you Reza!

Ive been going to this office for a few weeks now to treat my TMJ & depression. The treatments have really been helping me a lot. My daily pain levels have decreased and stayed lower in between treatments than when I was using massage as my main treatment. I was really nervous about trying acupuncture, but Im glad I did. :)

Highly recommended! Took care of my back and shoulder. Professional and friendly!

Dr. Reza Tafazoli is an Expert in his field, He treats his patients with respect and very professional , He is going the Extra Mile to give the best care to his patients using the most up to date technology, Very friendly, The Clinic is very clean and pleasant, I recommend him very highly as one of the best therapist I ever met.

The guy tells me some stuff about how studies cannot detect the effects of acupuncture and to just know that it works. I tell him I have forearm tendinitis, he sticks my forearms but also sticks my feet and knees for non discernable reason other than the possibility he believes in some meridian/energy flow stuff that has zero evidence. The point is, you tell me where youre putting your needles before you put them, and stop pretending like your treatment is rationally guided or has any evidence. Over 3000 studies has been performed, and the verdict is out, no effect more than placebo. Additionally, he stuck me with the needles, and just let me sit there for 30 minutes without telling me how long hes leaving me there! So I basically have to yell through a closed door to ask whats going on??? Now Im left with a swollen FOOT when I came in for FOREARM tendinitis.Im sorry but the guy really needs to work on communication skills and at least justify a treatment rationale instead of put needles in random parts of your body. This is plain reckless pseudoscience.

After years of sciatic pain, I decided to try Acupuncture.I am so glad a previous co-worker of my husband recommended Dr. Reza. Dr. Reza takes the time to listen and explain the source of the problem. It’s great that he also explains to you the treatment that will be performed. Not only does he provide the acupuncture therapy he recommends stretching exercises and provides follow-up via email to make sure you are okay. Since I have been going to him, the pain has subsided.Although my job consists of sitting, there are times it will flare up again, however, with just a few treatments the pain goes away. I’m much happier with this method of treatment than having to take pain relievers.I’m a true believer in acupuncture now and feel anytime I have discomfort I know I can call Dr. Reza to help resolve the problem.The office is not only clean; it is in a great location which allows for me to go during my lunch hour or even after work. If you are looking for an office in Orange County, I definitely recommend Dr. Reza.

My first experience with acupuncture was the result of being diagnosed with RSD, a symptom affecting the nerves in my legs that my neurologist advised may be fixed with a nerve block procedure. While visiting my dentist and telling her what I have been going through, she recommended I talk to her husband, Reza Tafazoli of Irvine Acupuncture. After a professionally handled initial consultation, I began treatments. Within 3 months of beginning those treatments, my nerve pain went away and has not returned over a year later. An added bonus was that I also had Reza assist with treatment to quit smoking and I have not had any desire to smoke since August 2011, when I had my treatment. Reza is caring and immediately puts you at ease. The facility is clean and relaxing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Reza and Irvine Acupuncture. I have personally experienced the benefits of acupuncture and acupuncture will permanently be my alternative path to traditional medical treatment.

Kill 90% of my pain from tennis elbow at the 1st visit. definitely worth a try.
