While the front desk receptionists are a little young the doctor is really experienced and puts together a comprehensive wellness package to show appropriate stretches and talk about different activities that may be exacerbating the problem. I knew after traveling for 14 hours with kids and carry-on bags that I was in trouble with my neck but after three visits I was able to get back to my regular running routine and I'm so grateful! If you are in pain don't delay a visit!

(Sigh...) I needed…read morehelp. I *love* to walk/hike/stroll/ambulate, but my knees have been saying "No more!" (...and barely in my '60's, I'm WAY too young for that!) Chiropractic didn't work. Arch supports merely relocated the pain. Western medicine? Please. No. It looked as if I was going to need a visit to an orthopedist... ...until my wife suggested I try acupuncture first. (Disclaimer: I'd never had acupuncture - didn't believe it could work. Thought it was malarkey. Saw my uncle's "Smoking cessation" visits fail miserably in New Jersey.) That said, the idea of surgery didn't appeal to me at all, so I thought I'd give acupuncture a shot. All of the Yelp reviews for Dr. Chen were over the top. ...every one was 5 stars. What's more, they all claimed significant results in just ONE treatment. (No way, I continued to think...) I went with some trepidation, and absolutely NO confidence that it could work. ...and here I am, giving Dr. Chen 5 stars. (...and I don't give that 5th star easily!) I showed up on a Friday afternoon, after another week on my feet (teaching 6th grade). I hurt! When he met me in the waiting room, he invited me to follow him to his treatment room. He walked briskly (like I used to.) I could not keep up. After a fairly thorough work-up (did I mention he also practiced Western medicine for more than 30 years?), he had me hop up on the table and plugged the needles in. Three on the left, one on the right. A little discomfort, but that was all. He connected a little electricity, adjusted the feed, and asked if I wanted some soothing sounds (Yes please, thank you...). He gave me a button to push if I needed him, turned down the lights and left me... for about an hour. By the time he got back, the sun had set - and truthfully, I'd begun to wonder if he'd forgotten me and gone home!) After unplugging me and taking the needles out, I stepped out into the hall... where he met me, and ushered me (again at that brisk pace) to his desk. This time I could keep up! On Saturday and again on MLK Monday, I got to go to the gym for the first time in almost 18 months. No pain, no worries! On Tuesday i started to feel the very beginning of an ache, but that afternoon I had my follow-up visit with him, and this time was only connected for 30 minutes. (I remained pain-free throughout this week, and have worked out twice since.) At the end of that 2nd visit, Dr. Chen said he thought I was good to go, and didn't need another appointment. ...and so to the Yelpers that preceded me here - Greg F., Jennifer S., and Veronica S. - I'm sorry I doubted you! Dr. Chen really IS the real deal!

Carmela is an incredibly skilled healer who has raised my quality of life significantly since I…read morebegan seeing her. I have multiple co-morbid chronic illnesses that leave me battling chronic fatigue, pain, migraines, depression, anxiety, etc. I have seen a consistent reduction in my generalize pain, an improvement in my mood, and she's taught me skills to help me cope with my anxiety attacks. She has even helped me with my allergies. Most dramatically, though: I've been using a cane pretty consistently for years because of pain and poor balance. In our last two sessions, Carmela has treated me using the Zhu scalp acupuncture technique and, as a result of this treatment, my balance has improved significantly and my reliance on my cane has been radically reduced, to the point that I mainly use it only for stairs or for occasions when I will be on my feet for an extended period of time (like the five hours I spent walking though a recent convention, for instance). I would highly recommend Carmela to my fellow Spoonies. She is thoughtful, caring, and very gifted at what she does.

I had Alfa Gal from a tick bite and a secondary problem that my husband and I had found was seemed to be from sulfites found in many foods with preservatives. My son called me and suggested I try and alternative to get help with the Alfa Gal. He had spoken to his minister who also had had Alfa Gal and discovered there was a form of acupuncture that could help. He found Carmela Mager, who had 25 years of experience and had learned this particular form of therapy. We made the appointment which changed both our lives! Carmela informed us as to how she would treat the Alfa Gal ( which made me intolerant of beef, lamb and pork) and then gave me a list of things to avoid that may help. She prescribed enzymes and a probiotic which helped enormously. She told me to do some reading on sulfite allergy. I did! I found studies on it which matched my life! Within a week, I started seeing the rash slowly heal. The acupuncture not only got rid of the Alfa Gal but also my hips no longer hurt. I can now eat pork, beef and lamb again. I started to have more energy. I can garden as I love to do. I felt and feel GOOD! My husband has been doing most of the cooking lately. He says we are on this journey together. Carmela has made life better for us both. She has a wealth of knowledge and generously share it! Our great thanks to her! PWB

I had become used to a level of constant discomfort, so much that it was my "normal." I went to Dr. D after a flare up, when the pain had become intense and hard to tolerate. I can honestly say that after treatment over several weeks (always tailored to where I was in the process of healing) and spending time daily with the prescribed exercises, I am no longer living with the expectation that pain is just something I had to accept. I am pain free for the first time in a long while. SCC is very well-run and professional, from the front desk to the treatment rooms. The atmosphere is calm and warm. I have worked with several chiropractors in various cities over the years, and highly recommend Dr. DuBois and his practice.

However, the care I get now is superlative because of Dr. Ping's diagnostic excellence. I have never had any western medicine physician nearly as fine as Dr. Ping.

My western doc doesn't provide plant based medications, or acupuncture. I value them both yet I depend on Dr. Ping in my unhealthiest moments. His wife, Lorraine, keeps appointments and medications going smoothly and is a joy to be around.
