Susan is a master. I have been in pain for a year and half, tried so many remedies, and this acupuncture experience was the beginning of my breakthrough. Her style is gentle... and intuitive while also being incredibly effective. I would recommend her practice to any dear friend seeking pain relief!read more

I cannot express enough how deeply grateful I am for Susan and how much she has helped me. I was having almost constant migraines and the medicine prescribed by my doctor... was almost as bad as the headache. I had never considered acupuncture before, but my neighbor, who was having a similar experience with migraines, had recently started seeing an acupuncturist and had nothing but positive things to say. I went to my first appointment quite anxious, but Susan made me feel very comfortable and put me at ease right away. Since I have been going to Susan I have been virtually migraine free and feel so much better overall. She is very knowledgeable, welcoming, judgement free, and listens to understand, which are things many doctors today seem to have lost. Susan has been a life changer and I am a happier and healthier person because of it.read more

Cory Schroeder

A painless acupuncture experience. Susan works to treat the root of the problem, and spends time piecing together your medical history to best identify the cause of your... symptoms.read more

Beth Millican

Went to Susan with shocking pain from tri-geminal neuralgia. She was referred to me by a friend. Susan is so welcoming and kind. Her technique allows the patient to be... calm and relaxed. I have seen her about 10 times now and I have no more sharp stabbing pain in my face. I get better with each visit. If you are looking for an alternative to medical doctors, I suggest you call Susan. You will not be sorry.read more

Susan is a brilliant and sensitive acupuncturist. After my first appointment with her I left pain free. Her extensive personal history taking combined with her incredible... knowledge and skill make a recipe for healing on all levels. I also greatly appreciate Susan’s Covid protocols and her dedication to keeping her patients safe. Her recent newsletter about masks and related resources was extensive and amazingly valuable to me. I leave my sessions not only pain free but with an inner sense of well-being. I highly recommend Susan to all. Bonnie Folickread more

Tina Blackwell

Susan is a treasure, and gives me hope for my well-being. She is professional and practices the Kiiko Matsumoto style (new to me). I have experience with other styles of... acupuncture, and this method is really impressive. I am so fascinated and awestruck with my results. You are the sole focus of Susan’s attention, and she patiently listens and discusses your treatment. She has exceeded my high expectations.read more

Janet Phillips

Susan is amazing and highly skilled at her craft. I didn't know what to expect on my 1st visit and came in with an open mind. She was very welcoming, and we discussed my... health history as it was imperative in her finding the right treatment. I suffered from a blown disc at the time and had nerve issues in my leg. She was able to restore most of the feeling back in my leg which is a blessing. I highly recommend her; she is very talented.read more

Marydee Sklar

Working with Susan has been a very positive experience. She has helped me, (and given me hope), for a complex medical condition. She is a dedicated healer, always studying to... improve her knowledge. I am so thankful to have found her.read more

Cheryl Sargent

Susan is absolutely amazing! I called her desperate to see someone about an issue that my doctors were not addressing to my satisfaction. She was so accommodating and caring.... She truly showed concern for my well being. The treatments she did were the only thing that were giving me relief through my ordeal. I highly recommend her!read more

Melinda Allen

What a great find! Susan at An Shen Acupuncture has done wonders for me. This was my first time trying acupuncture and I wasn't sure where to start. I made a post asking for... feedback in my local neighborhood and Susan's name came up several times as a recommendation. I had a unusual circumstance and about to lose my insurance and she worked with me to make sure to get all of my allowed visits in and to help heal my ongoing pain in my neck that I have had for 6 months. I highly recommend Susan to anyone, she took the time to listen and explained how everything works to help give me a better understanding. I am now almost pain free with a few more visits to go. I definitely would give her 6 stars if I could.read more

Tonia Hunt

Excellent care and treatment! I began seeing Susan for complex and related physical symptoms that also affected my mood and energy. Susan took the time to REALLY listen to... what I was struggling with and approached my treatment from a holistic and responsive manner. Her treatment methods are sophisticated and uniquely caring. Susan's treatment has contributed to me feeling MUCH better and avoiding a surgery that felt inevitable when we started.read more

Shawn McGinnis

Twenty years of stomach problems skillfully melted away in a couple visits. I felt I just had to deal with having stomach problems and food allergies after all the... prescribed treatments just dulled the symptoms. After someone described nearly the same issues that plagued me, and how Susan was able to help them, I was intrigued. My first visit Susan kindly lead me though the process and a few visit later I'm eating the foods I want without worrying about debilitating migraines. I may not understand how it works but now at least I no longer waste my days off.read more

Wendy May

I have suffered from migraine headaches since my early teens. I am now in my 50's and have grown extremely tired of the inconvenience. With natural physical changes of my... aging body , the headaches were increasing. Rather than increase my medication, I opted to try acupuncture. I had tried two other acupuncturist but wasn't really sold on their techniques and ideas. I searched the area and found Susan. Her approach was so different than what I had experienced in the past. The time she takes with her patience is priceless. She is calm, soothing , genuine and extensive in her practice. Her work has been successful in reducing my migraines. This has improved my quality of life immensely. I actually feel alive, awake and free. It is apparent that Susan truly loves the practice of healing. I highly recommend Susan.Wendy Mayread more

Pamela Morris

Susan carefully and thoughtfully established a strong base of understanding regarding my medical history and my approach to maintaining my health. From there she was... excellent at applying her knowledge and experience to patiently problem solve in order to find the best results for relief of my pain. I am grateful for her thoroughness in this process, and for her ability to expand upon the application of her practice based on even the most subtle feedback she receives in the course of treatment. This openness to fine tune and adjust to the situation at hand, along with her direct and clear communication, made the experience very positive.read more

Kayla Sanford

Susan helped me with headaches (now completely gone) and perimenopausal symptoms. I feel like I've got myself back with more energy and optimism. I've seen other... acupuncturists, yet Susan stands out. She blends her knowledge and diagnostic techniques in a masterful way. I highly recommend her and I'm grateful I found her.read more

Tiffany Jones

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Susan!!I began seeing her after dealing with chronic abdominal pain for over 6 months. Within two visits, I would leave her... clinic pain free (which would last a glorious day or two before the pain would come back). After two months of weekly visits, I am now completely pain free. She is a miracle worker!I had literally spent half of a year going to my primary care physician to try to find a cause of my pain, who then ultimately referred me to a specialist who also was unable to determine the cause nor find a solution to the pain. It was out of complete desperation that I began searching through reviews and looking online for an acupuncturist and then I found Susan!Susan carefully listened to my symptoms and history and asked lots of questions. Her knowledge in Chinese Medicine is phenomenal. She is amazing--and the style of acupuncture she uses is incredibly gentle and effective.I am also grateful and appreciative of all the safety measures she has in place because of Covid. I feel completely safe going for my appointments and was thankful she was willing to see new clients and take me on as a patient during the pandemic.If you are in pain, go see Susan! She is amazing!!read more

Dan Roberts

I went in with an open mind, and the benefits have been many. With Susan's help we've been able to conquer multiple bad habits in my life. Throughout this personal rebuild... there’s been bumps and bruises, and Susan has help with those too. I’ve become the best version of myself, and that process started after my first visit. Don’t get me wrong, I put in a lot of hard work, but Susan’s treatments have helped set me up for success.read more

Kelly Branderhorst

Susan is absolutely PHENOMENAL & we are so happy we found her! My daughter pulled her groin terribly right before the start of lacrosse season and couldn’t even walk. I... reached out to Susan and got an appointment immediately. There was a dramatic improvement immediately & my daughter was swimming and walking as if nothing had happened a few days later. Since then, she’s also helped her with allergies & anything else that bothers her. Incredible! You will be more than impressed with Susan, her approach and her ability to treat you. She’s a true GEM!read more

Kathy Young

10/24/2020I have had acupuncture multiple times and have only had two phenomenal acupuncturists, one in NYC and now Susan. Susan has a totally different approach than... Chinese acupuncture. At each appointment, you talk about how you are feeling and if you are having any problems. The first appt. is 2 hours going over your medical history and then she starts her process of accessing where your problem is and how she can help. My first appt. I went in barely being able to walk because of pain. I definitely had some relief at the end of the appt., but the dramatic change happened after the second appt. I could stop using my cane and I was able to walk about a flight of stairs with both legs. The process is very gentle and the results are mind-blowing. Susan is definitely one of a kind. I consider her the best acupuncturist I have been to ever.Never worry about acquiring a virus while at Susan's. She is meticulous.read more

Leah Kortyka

This was my first experience receiving acupuncture and I couldn't be happier. I have complete trust in Susan, not only to address what brought me in initially, but also to... keep us both safe during the pandemic. Every visit has been a pain free relaxing experience. Susan takes the time to thoroughly explain her process and answer all my questions. Highly recommend.read more

Odilma Georges

I'm so glad I found Susan! She has helped so much with improving my energy levels that I've struggled with for some time due to low adrenal function as well as improved my... chronic insomnia significantly! I wish I had met her a year ago! Thank you Susan for your sensitivity and persistence.read more

Melissa Minto

Susan is amazing in her art! She deeply cares about the people she treats and has done wonders for our whole family.

Sandy Wright

Amazing! I went to her for lower back pain from a fall. She did an extensive background workup before treatment. Her expertise is on point. I have done acupuncture before but... not this style and I am in love (both acupuncture and Susan)! My overall well-being is just more balanced.read more

Linda Hedges

Susan has helped resolve so much of the pain I was having in several areas of my body. She is professional and thorough. I felt comfortable with her from the very first and I... highly recommend her services.read more

mardy cloyes

I am currently undergoing chemotherapy for an aggressive cancer, and was advised by my oncology nurse (early on) that many people find that acupuncture can help mitigate some... of the many side effects of chemo.I did an extensive search before finding Susan. I selected her because of her many 5 star reviews, her experience working with cancer patients, and because of the non traditional style of acupuncture that she uses.Words cannot begin to express the positive difference Susan’s acupuncture treatments have made in my cancer treatment journey to date. I am about half way through my chemotherapy, and I can honestly say her treatments have been a game changer for me in terms of experiencing immediate relief in areas such as lower back pain, nausea, headaches, fatigue etc.Before I first saw Susan, I told my family that I didn’t know how I would get through the next several months, but thankfully, I now have this unbelievable resource to help me fight my cancer battle to the very end! :) Thank you Susan for making such a positive difference in my life!read more

Kassandra Plambeck

Susan is incredible!! If you need an acupuncturist she is the one to see. Her gentle approach makes you feel at ease. She is very calm, efficient & knowledgeable. She really... takes the time to listen to your struggles and shows she cares by doing everything she possibly can to bring lasting relief. I wish I was still in the portland area so I could continue seeing her.read more

Jessica Krause

Susan was very helpful in treating my back pain and findind the systemic cause for it. I would highly recommend her!

Korin Arndt

Susan is wonderful! I have suffered from chronic back pain for 10 years, additionally I have started suffering from tension headaches. Through Susan’s acupuncture treatment... both have significantly improved! This has allowed me to rely less on prescription medications for managing the pain, which was a huge goal for me. Beyond taking care of my physical needs, it is clear that Susan cares for me as whole person, she genuinely cares about my mental and emotional well-being. She is kind, comforting, and empathetic.read more

Annie Pullar

Susan is absolutely wonderful at what she does! I have been going to her for about six months, and I have never left her office without feeling amazing.

Stacey Knapp

My 13 year old son has been seeing Susan to help strengthen his immune system. He has had asthma and severe allergies all of his life and wanted to try something different... to see if it would help. Susan has been so amazing and patient with him. She explains everything to him and made him feel totally comfortable and relaxed even though he is scared of needles. His response after the first needle insertion was, " I didn't even feel that." At the end of the appointment she told him they were all done. He asked, "Don't you have to take the needles out?" Susan replied, "I already did." He responded, "I didn't even know you had already done it." Susan is so gentle, highly knowledgeable, and truly cares for her patients. Highly recommend Susan- An Sheng Acupuncture!read more

Susan is incredible. She takes her time and listens so well. Her treatments have made a big difference. I highly recommend her!

Heather Schwartz

Susan has a wealth of wisdom, caring, and compassion. I've been seeing her for over a year and I love how each treatment builds on the next. She's helped me experience... ongoing relief from insomnia, anxiety, low mood, sluggishness, feeling too hot (at night), hormone, and digestive issues. All treatments have been gentle and relaxing.In addition to providing immediate palpable relief and cumulative results in my physical well-being, I've noticed a greater sense of peace and serenity in my life from seeing Susan. She takes a genuine interest in me and my life; she always remembers me, and that compassion goes a long way!I highly recommend Susan Buhler - An Sheng to anyone seeking integrative well-being!read more

Sara Liedtke

I have been seeing Susan for almost a year and have had such relief from my sciatica as well as other problem areas that have been solved by acupuncture. After trying... massage, chiropractic care, and medication, this is by far the best I have felt in a long time. She has a very relaxed yet professional personality and the treatment space is very calming. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get relief from chronic pain.read more

Briana Reese

Susan has been a bit of a godsend... ongoing PT, chiro, and massage for chronic “I work at a computer” syndrome but it was Susan’s intuitive care that helped my body really... start healing on a higher level. Sessions with her are more like visits, and I always learn something new, either about the style of acupuncture she practices or just how my own body works (or doesn’t, as the case may be).And if you’re scared of needles, Susan’s got you covered there too 😊read more

Danielle Holcombe Hoag

I've been seeing Susan for almost 2 months after I hurt my back at work. I've completed physical therapy, chiropractic and massage therapy treatments with only temporary... relief. Seeing Susan has really started to make an impact toward real/long term healing. The days were I am pain-free are increasing and lasting longer with each visit! I think more importantly Susan really cares, you can see that in her. She really takes her time, listens and thinks things through. She is like a "healing" detective. Susan is doing what she was put on this earth to do.read more

Smiley Current

Susan is a wonderful healer. I always leave more relaxed than I would have been with a massage, and that's saying a ton. She is gentle and methodical in her approach, which... works really well. She listens and truly cares, and that is really hard to find in a provider. I've been to other acupuncturists, but so far Susan has been my favorite! I truly look forward to my appointments with her!read more

Christine Donovan

Susan has been so helpful in many ways, the style of acupuncture she practices has been better than other acupuncture experiences I have had. She clearly cares about her... patients and goes above and beyond to help.read more

April Maier

I have found a miracle healer! Susan has helped me in ways that my doctor, surgeons, physical therapy, chiropractors and other very good acupuncturists had not been able... to.I had a larger sized woman fall in the middle of my chest in an indoor soccer game several years ago. That significant impact caused me to have surgery over the years on both shoulders, my cervical spine and sterno-clavicular joint. And I was still in constant pain, and my muscles so uncomfortable I didn't want to do hardly anything. There were many days I wanted out of my body.I left my first appointment with the lightest pain-free feeling in my body that filled me with immense joy. After 6 appointments, I am now almost completely pain free and so happy it makes me emotional. She has been life changing for me.read more

Pattie Stromberg

Susan is by far the best acupuncturist I have been to. She is caring and compassionate. Her only goal to is to cure your ailment, whatever it may be. I've been seeing Susan... for about 7 years and she has taken great care of me. There are some things I never thought that she could help me with and I was wrong. You need to tell her all that is going on with your body, even if you don't think it's relevant. One thing might be connected to the other. She is the specialist and she will figure it out. I've had great results with Susan and I have recommended her to so many of my friends. They all have had great success with her also. I highly recommend Susan. You will not be disappointed.read more

lesa-kay pinker

I was in a great deal of pain from a back injury and looking for a nearby acupuncture provider. I'm so glad my search led me to Susan. She is so compassionate and caring! ... She takes her time to learn about not just what is going on with your body right now, but what other underlying issues may be in play. After two sessions I had such significant improvement in my pain that I had to remind myself to slow down a little so that I didn't re-injure myself by doing too much too soon! I really feel that I improved so quickly because of Susan's treatments. I highly recommend her!read more

Jef Gunn

My oh my, Susan is amazing ! I’ve been to other acupuncturists, and they are not all created equal, nor do all have the level of training and all around knack that Susan has.... I’ve gone to her over many years for pain of one kind or another. Back pain, neck and shoulder, other joints or muscles. Also for digestive and heart issues, all of them successfully treated. I’m always impressed with her kind and attentive presence, her attention to the details of my story. She’s like a detective doctor. Some ‘insignificant’ details may prove to be most important. I’m happy as all heck to recommend Susan for whatever ails you.read more

I would highly recommend Susan to anybody seeking acupuncture.read more

Laurel Kuykendall

Words alone cannot express the gratitude I feel towards Susan as a true professional in the healing art of acupuncture. She is patient, kind and compassionate in everything... she does. I was referred to her by a friend over four years ago and despite my hesitation, I decided it was time to try acupuncture to heal a strained shoulder. Susan took all the time necessary to explain the entire process of acupuncture and the healing techniques that she would use. My shoulder healed up quickly and I become a firm believer. I have continued to see Susan regularly for a chronic neck condition that I have and the relief that she brings me is amazing. Although I know it is all scientifically based, I still consider Susan and her techniques magical!read more

Susan Buhler has attended me through two very difficult times following Auto Vehicle Accidents. The first in 2012 I was "T" boned at an intersection by a texting driver. ... Susan helped me and my wife to recovery. I discovered her special talents at that time. I was helped to recovery withing 6 months by Susan's help.The Second Accident was January 6, 2017. I was rear ended by a Concrete Truck on the interstate traveling at highway speeds. This was a 26 wheel dry concrete hauler. Driver was impaired and ran through 6 cars and 3 18 wheeler and nearly a quarter of a mile before he stopped. I started with Susan for whiplash and back strains. I am recovering nicely. I would recommend anyone to Susan's services as she has been instrumental in both of my recoveries that could have affected me for life if not treated by her special healing arts.read more

Dena DeCastro

I began working with Susan because of chronic pain I had been having for a few years. I was also feeling depleted due to recent stressful events in my family, and this stress... had exacerbated my symptoms. I feel fortunate that I found Susan and began working with her when I did. She goes above and beyond. She took the extra time to find out the details of my condition, as well as the life situations surrounding it. She is warm, compassionate, and attentive. I also value her wealth of knowledge in Chinese Medicine and herbs. She custom-created two herbal formulas for me that continue to help me greatly. Over my time of being her client, my condition has improved greatly. I would highly recommend Susan as a highly skilled practitioner who is also personable and caring.read more

Nocole Roberts

I highly recommend Susan Buhler if you want positive results!After unsuccessful attempts to address chronic pain from physical injuries and PTSD utilizing traditional... western medicine, I decided to try acupuncture to avoid/minimize the use of toxic medications or invasive procedures. Most importantly, I wanted to focus and treat the cause - not symptoms.My initial challenge was to identify a highly-trained professional who could address multiple complex problems with compassion, expertise, and positive outcomes. After researching practitioners throughout the Portland region, a friend recommended Susan Buhler. I immediately followed-up.Prior to my first appointment, Susan talked with me over the phone to thoroughly discuss my issues and desired outcomes for pain relief. She explained her technique (very impressive), listened, and answered all my questions. My take away was that I’d finally found someone who could help me.After seeing Susan for my first treatment, I immediately experienced a reduction in pain and emotional anxiety. I left with renewed hope for increased mobility and peace.Over the last year, Susan and her unique (extremely gentle) technique has not only significantly diminished all physical pain but also eliminated the need for pain killers, helped combat internal infections and reduced mental stress. In short, Susan has helped me gain back my life. I’m extremely thankful to have found her and cannot recommend her strongly enough.read more

I have been seeing Susan for a couple months now and she is as skillful as they come. A friend recommended me to Susan and I had so much anxiety going in being afraid of... needles and all the horror stories you hear. She has made me feel so comfortable in the experience and I can honestly say I would recommend her to everyone that is apprehensive about acupuncture or anyone that has had a bad experience she will change your mind. She is certainly a miracle worker and I will be having my daughter start seeing her soon as well. Thank you Susan for being so sensitive to a woman who truly had an unrealistic view of what this process is about.read more

Susan is phenomenal!!! She does a complete detailed history of your overall health, discusses and then treats. I went in with extreme lower back pain from a fall. With each... treatment I am getting more relief and with the combination of physical therapy and acupuncture my back is getting much better. But, since going to Susan my overall mental positivity has improved, have struggled with shallow breathing for years and it has improved immensely and I wasn’t even focusing on it. I am anxious to continue treatment and recommend a visit to her anything.read more

Susan is as compassionate as she is skillful! I've been seeing Susan for a little over a year now, and the benefits have been profound. In that time, I have experienced... ongoing relief from hot flash-type symptoms, insomnia, anxiety, sluggishness, sad mood, and digestive issues.

Susan really takes the time to listen and remember what's going on in my life and how that's affecting my physical-emotional health, and I feel genuinely cared about as a person. Of course, this affects my body and ability to bounce back!

Her style is very deliberate and practical as well as gentle and profound. I highly recommend Susan at An Sheng Acupuncture & Healing Arts for integrative mental, emotional, and physical well-being!read more

For many years I have had stomach issues and little help from Modern Medicine. My neighbor told me about a wonderful lady that she used after having problems from a shoulder... surgery. I have always been interested in the healing arts of ancient medicine and decided to give it a try. On the very first treatment I found much of my daily pain recede. I finally had hope. As I have IBS and have had for many years I know it won't be a quick fix but being pain free for any length of time is life changing.
Susan has a very calm and knowledgeable way about her and made me comfortable even though I knew I would have needles in me. Funny but the needles made me feel energized and feeling like I was functioning on all cyclinders.read more

I have been to four Acupuncturist in my lifetime. Susan Buhler's form of Acupuncture is unlike any I have every experienced.
I was in an accident that caused lower... back, shoulder, wrist, knee, and ankle pain. Not to mention the emotional pain and nightmares that sometimes comes with a trauma experience.
On my first visit she took the time to get to know me and my needs. This took about two hours. (never has a health care provider took this time). My time is very valuable to me and I have to say I appreciate her thoroughness.
The first treatment I surprisingly had immediate relief! I started going about twice a week. I found my body starting to heal also my nightmares and quality of sleep improved.
I will continue to go to Susan Buhler when my treatment is finished for this particular accident. And will recommend her to friends and family.

After suffering from allergies for several years and giving up on my weekly allergen immunotherapy after 3 years, I finally decided to try acupuncture with Susan at the... suggestion of an office co-worker. Susan brought instant relief to my breathing. My results after just one visit made me a believer!

Her thorough review of my concerns, along with her treatment and suggested life changes have made my daily life more enjoyable.

I highly recommend her services. I am one of 4 out of 5 people in my office who have seen Susan.read more

I highly recommend Susan Buhler if you want positive results!

After unsuccessful attempts to address chronic pain from physical injuries and PTSD utilizing... traditional western medicine, I decided to try acupuncture to avoid/minimize the use of toxic medications or invasive procedures. Most importantly, I wanted to focus and treat the cause - not symptoms.

My initial challenge was to identify a highly-trained professional who could address multiple complex problems with compassion, expertise, and positive outcomes. After researching practitioners throughout the Portland region, a friend recommended Susan Buhler. I immediately followed-up.

Prior to my first appointment, Susan talked with me over the phone to thoroughly discuss my issues and desired outcomes for pain relief. She explained her technique (very impressive), listened, and answered all my questions. My take away was that I’d finally found someone who could help me.

After seeing Susan for my first treatment, I immediately experienced a reduction in pain and emotional anxiety. I left with renewed hope for increased mobility and peace.

Over the last year, Susan and her unique (extremely gentle) technique has not only significantly diminished all physical pain but also eliminated the need for pain killers, helped combat internal infections and reduced mental stress. In short, Susan has helped me gain back my life. I’m extremely thankful to have found her and cannot recommend her strongly enough.read more
