Daniel Martin is a miracle worker: professional, kind, brilliant, and caring. His program of herbs and acupuncture cured my Covid when nothing else worked.
Caitlin
I have been to Dr. Martin’s office a few times now for blood pressure treatments. It’s helping! My blood pressure is lower than I have seen it in years, and I have felt grounded and calm during and between treatments. I recommend Daniel Martin Acupuncture!

Daniel is a deeply gifted healer. His ability to listen and apply his practice to my concerns is unequaled. After several years away, and with a new serious western diagnosis, Daniel has me feeling so much better than I have in a very long time.
I feel incredibly grateful that Daniel is my doctor.
Danielle
He’s got the magic manner we seek in all humans but especially healers. I look forward to my hour of calm every time.

Daniel is the best! He is so patient, kind, understanding, thoughtful, and caring. He has a gentle sense of humor and is incredibly consistent with the high quality of his care. I have been his client for over two years. He has helped me through surgery recovery, illness, and grief. He is able to laugh and cry with his clients — he welcomes the emotional release that sometimes happens with acupuncture. I feel like this is important to say, because some practitioners, although skilled, are not able to witness and be with a client’s emotions. Daniel is very skillful in that way. I have highly recommended him to friends and they all love him, too. Thank you, Daniel!
Dot
Daniel is one of the most caring practitioners I have ever met. I feel like he is genuinely interested in my well being and my getting better. I feel cared for and cared about when I am there and it is some of the most relaxing time of my week. I love and appreciate his style of acupuncture where he is testing my body to see which points are the best to alleviate whatever is ailing me that day.

Daniel has changed my life for the better! He has drastically helped get my recurring migraines under control and my only wish is that I’d found him sooner! He listens, he’s thoughtful, caring and I leave his appointments with my batteries fully charged, ready to face the world again!

Daniel Martin is a wonderful healer. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best he deserves a 25. In addition to his skill; he’s the best acupuncturist I’ve found in the Bay Area, I quite enjoy his personality, he’s very bright with a fine sense of humor. I always enjoy the brief chats we have covering many disparate topics. Following my recommendation he now treats my wife and several friends all of whom are very pleased with the results, some even experiencing relief from chronic pain they’d been told would never leave them.

A few months ago, I had fallen in my garage injuring my left leg and developed neuropathy. It was extremely painful and as I researched what needed to be done to help the issue (because the physical therapy waiting list was long) it stated that acupuncture was known to help along with other nutritional vitamins. Dr. Daniel Martin had such glowing reviews that I immediately reached out to his office to schedule an appointment. When we first met, he had such a Zen attitude and beautiful personality and when I saw him in his sandals, I knew he would be the right doctor for me. It was the most comfortable feeling I ever had at a doctor’s office. And just a few short months later, I no longer feel pain in my leg and I owe him a debt of gratitude. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help.

I have been going to Doctor Martin for one year now for a digestive issue.
It was my first experience with an acupuncturist, and after my free 20 minute consultation, I knew I made the correct decision. Dr. Martin, is professional, truly listens to you, and is very encouraging when you have setbacks in your treatment.
My digestive issue has improved immensely, and I am a firm believer in acupuncture and Dr. Martin.

“I was diagnosed with severe IBS three years ago. After laxatives, dietary changes, and behavior changes made no difference, I was put on a harsh medication that induced diarrhea every day, which caused nutrition and hydration problems. I had tried acupuncture a couple of times before for different problems and didn’t experience improvement, but was given a referral to Daniel Martin from a former patient who had had IBS. After two weeks (two appointments), I was having some normal bowel movements, despite being on a medication designed to induce diarrhea. After a month, that medication stopped working and I didn’t have diarrhea, but was having normal bowel movements on some days. After a few months of weekly appointments, I was doing much better and moved to biweekly appointments. My digestion wasn’t perfect, but I was having bowel movements nearly every day, and the issues that remained were extremely minor compared to the debilitating IBS that required daily induced diarrhea. Acupuncture was the only new factor so we’re able to credit the acupuncture entirely with getting me off the harmful medication and prompting my body to begin having non-induced bowel movements on its own. This is a result that no medication or other medical intervention was able to achieve after years of trying everything I could think of. My GP and gastroenterologist were amazed. Two years later, I have very mild IBS and am not taking any medication for it. Acupuncture from Daniel was the only thing that worked besides one harmful, diarrhea-inducing medication, and the outcome is far, far beyond what my doctors said was possible. I cannot recommend Daniel Martin highly enough for IBS patients. It’s also worth noting that I’m trans, and Daniel has been gender affirming and extremely competent, and didn’t require any education from me in order to treat my trans body. It seems effortless for him, but I’ve had a lot of frustrating experiences with health care providers who were confused about treating trans patients, and I want folks to know what a positive, trans-affirming, compassionate experience I’ve had with Daniel. From the administrative side, Daniel has consistently gone above and beyond to help me navigate insurance (some visits got covered!) and accessible fees when insurance ran out. It’s made all the difference in my ability to continue care!”
Pamela
Daniel has helped me with some old pervasive health issues, issues no one else has had success treating. Seeing him consistently has made a big positive impact on my health and life. Gratitude for him and his wisdom.
Daisy
Daniel’s care and attention to detail is like no other acupuncturist or health care professional I have experienced. He’s knowledgeable and affordable (a rare duo!). I appreciate his kind demeanor, poise, and approachability.
Sharon
I can’t express how much Daniel has helped me. I see him regularly (at least monthly, sometimes more often) and get great care and advice for my health conditions. I’ve overcome particularly chronic GI problems by following his advice and getting his treatments and it seems that this was the key to feeling better after other practitioners failed. He also knows how to listen very well and we often spend a great deal of time talking. He is currently the person I trust more than any other health practitioner.
Marci
I’ve had acupuncture before , but never the way Daniel does it. He has a unique process for evaluating where to put the needles that is very specific. He doesn’t just treat, he also comes up with a diagnosis or hypothesis as to the deeper cause of the symptoms that bring you in- He is a true gem!
Candice Yang
“When i first met Daniel, i thought he was a very compassionate and knowledgeable practitioner with a pleasantly gentle needling technique. as i continued to work with him, i learned that he was so much more. he always offered a kind, and open ear. he listened to my concerns and gave me valuable insight and feedback. not only did his acupuncture style address the energetic blockages in my body, his genuine empathy addressed the whole of me – he truly comes from a holistic approach, in which you not only work with the physical aspect of a person, but also their heart, mind, and spirit – their humanity with Daniel, i was able to work through and release long-standing unhealthy habits and tendencies. i also tiered down from and completely off of prescription medications for chronic conditions I’ve had for years. there aren’t enough words to express my gratitude about that. because he encouraged me to simply be myself – with flaws, and all – i really began to understand the idea of “going with the flow” while working with him. if that’s not one of the best take-away lessons in this life, i don’t know what is! daniel is just an all-around amazing practitioner of acupuncture and TCM (traditional Chinese medicine). He’s got the technique and the heart to offer the space for a true partnership in health and wellness.”
Adrock
Attentive. Great listener. Inquisitive. Learned. Compassionate. I feel incredibly safe and in good hands with Daniel. I can recognize the results very quickly, often immediately with some of his techniques. Daniel was able to help me with abdominal issues that no other doctors I’d seen were able to help with. I’ve happily recommended him to several friends, neighbors, and clients.
Andrew
“I am an acupuncturist myself and a hypnotherapist. I am very selective about who I would work with and send referrals to. I trust Daniel implicitly. He is gentle, kind and very perceptive. His pulse skills are superlative and I send my difficult cases to him. I know that my patients will be treated very well. He is especially good with digestive disorders.”
Kelly N
“It’s hard to find an effective acupuncturist. I’ve been to several acupuncturists and western medicine doctors and none were able to help me understand the root cause of my physical ailments. I’ve been struggling with fatigue and chronic night sweats. Daniel was able to help me alleviate these symptoms through treatment and suggestions of specific foods. I highly recommend making an appointment with Daniel!”
Clarissa
“Look no further and believe me I have tried 4 acupuncturists before Daniel Martin. He took the time to listen to my aches and body malaise before he started my first session. And everytime he asks how I’m doing. I had 6 consecutive migraines because of my miscarriage and on my first session it was gone. Migraine stopped and never came back. My stomach lain disappeared in a few sessions as well. You will never regret having Daniel Martin in your life.”
Rachel
“I’ve been seeing Daniel regularly for over three years now. Since the very first session, Daniel has continued to demonstrate insight, dedication, nurture, and care to my healing. He is constantly learning new methods and developing his acupuncture and herbal practice, offering various approaches catered to each patient. His constant calm and honest presence is in itself a testament to his natural healing powers. Of course I highly recommend him!”
