I went to Dr Wicher for prolotherapy on my right wrist and to obtain a prescription for Rapamycin…read more This office is run solely by Dr. Wicher and her receptionist--no assistant or nurse, which is rare for any medical office. The first two treatments of prolotherapy March 10 and Apr 14 went without incident, but on the third May 20, unlike the 20+ treatments over the years I received from another doctor who always used a thin-gauge needle with no local anesthetic, Dr Wicher used a thick gauge needle that looked like the type used for blood draws. I trusted her judgment, which was a mistake, as the injection caused intense pain, tingling, numbness in my fingers, and damage to the tendon. I found out later she used a local anesthetic which she did not in the first treatment. The pain and weakness in my wrist is WORSE than before the treatments began, and persists to this day, to the extent that I it affects my daily life (I have trouble driving and cannot open a jar lid with a jar opening tool.) In my previous visit Apr 14, I received a prescription for 12 capsules of 6mg compounded Rapamycin. Before the botched prolotherapy treatment I brought up studies that showed that the compounded form has a bioavailability of only 30%. Dr Wicher did not dispute and agreed to send a new prescription to my pharmacy for Sirolimus, the generic form of Rapamycin. When I got home my pinkie/ring fingers were numb and unusable so I called the office to report expecting a follow up call, but I never received one. Three days later after multiple calls the receptionist told me the doctor emailed me: 1. Lia said you were having some numbness in your wrist? Is this still present? It could have been from the anesthetic but should wear off 2. Rapamycin: I am not comfortable ordering the non-compounded drug for you unless you obtain additional labs(CMP, CBC and regular lipid testing). You gave me some labs from April. When I did your initial consult, I did a focused prolozone one based on what you were coming in for. I would need to obtain further information before proceeding with this drug. I responded by asking her why she needed new labs when she had already given me a prescription based on the lab work the month before, Her response: "Since the actual drug is a bit more potent than the compounded one is why I want these labs. " This was puzzling. She chose to prescribe the compounded version because the potency is low as to be ineffective? She had already prescribed compounded Rapamycin a month ago, and then agreed to the generic. So why did she change her mind? The only reason I can think of is that, after my report of numbness, she grew concerned about liability and reversed course--not because of clinical concerns, but professional ones. There were more issues. Attached is Customized Client Schedule I received after my exam. Notice that recommendation 2 Dihydroberberine does not contain exact doses, but only a recommendation for the product she sells in her office. Recommendation 1 is also for a product she sells in her office. Also notice the hand written recommendation for "Caster Oil Packs-see handout". I was not given the handout and had to ask the receptionist for help. She added "wool flannel" to the sheet. Also note the prescription for Rapacycin 6mg. Another issue occurred during my first appointment in which my blood pressure reading was high, over 150/90, indicating Stage 2 Hypertension. I was given absolutely no guidance on how to address this concern. I cannot recommend this practice: * Overworked: The doctor is spread thin, as she has no assistants. * Poor communication: She doesn't respond to emails or calls in a timely manner (5 days to respond to second email). * Neglected critical signs: Like failing to address my Stage 2 Hypertension * Vague instructions: Handout was missing, instructions unclear, product dosages unspecified. * Conflict of interest: She recommended supplements that she sells in her office, I assume at a profit. * Competence concerns: Offers a broad menu of therapies, but may lack depth in some. Based on my experience, if you are considering prolotherapy, only consider practices that specialize in orthopedics and have extensive experience with prolotherapy. I no longer trust Dr Wicher. I canceled my next appointment, and will no longer be seeing this ND.

First Time and Great Results!…read more Hurt and shifted a disc in my lower spine. I was referred by a friend to CYY for a first time experience for Acupuncture. I tired compression braces, aleve, Icy hots, Solonpas patch's, yoga rollers, exercises and I kept re-injuring my lower back (3rd time). When I made my first visit I was on my 7th day of recovery and was not able to stand straight without a compression brace. Lower back was completely loosened after visit. 2nd visit I was able to move with full motion, no back brace. I stand all day and do mfg work so I highly recommend this place if you need to recover fast. Price was very affordable, since I spent about $125 at target for all the braces and medication. My lower back loosened up in one visit and I had a second to fully be able to twist. I feel I had a lot of pressure release with the acupuncture and cupping. You can feel the relief if you are hurting really bad. Highly recommended thank you CYY!

I tried multiple other therapies for my pain, but nothing ever helped. After a few sessions with Dr. Chen, my pain and discomfort improved greatly. He is very knowledgeable and very gentle throughout the acupuncture process and I felt very comfortable. I would definitely come back for other concerns and will continue to come back for my hand pain flareups. I highly recommend this acupuncture clinic if you are looking natural and effective approach to improving your health. There is usually a wait on the weekends, so I recommend coming on a weekday.

Well, 5 years ago my friend in Hawaii told me about Dr. Shen and that…read moreshe had worked with her Mother 40 yrs.earlier. I was told I had Lymphoma and had started Chemo, which I wasn't to keen about. Dr. Shen was really interested in my whole being and formulated an herbal tea for me just by looking a pictures of my tongue and my blood work from at the lab. Dr. Shen has reformulated my tea 4 times, !st. time was to keep my energy up and so far I haven't missed any work unless it was climate related. Then being the chemo blew my large intestine open, I had an external clostomy bag. Dr. Shen reformulated the tea again so the Cardiologist then signed off on the reverse surgery. Another time Dr. Shen found in my lab work a life threating sepic issue that 2 other Palo Alto Drs. missed. Basically Dr. Shen is a real human being that cares about your good health, she has sent me a Christmas gift of edible mushrooms and even sweet rice which helped me gained back the 45 lbs. lost. She even called after Xmas to see if I would like some more shitakie mushrooms as her other patience. i have told dozens of friends and relatives about her as she saved my life!

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Patel and my experience with testosterone pellet therapy…read more The insertion process was surprisingly easy--there was absolutely no pain during the procedure. It was a little uncomfortable for about a week afterward, but nothing difficult to manage, and after that I didn't even notice it was there. By the second week, I started seeing real improvements. My sleep dramatically improved, which was the first major change I noticed. Shortly after that, my libido returned--something I honestly thought was gone for good. I've also experienced a noticeable boost in energy and much clearer thinking, with the mental fog I used to struggle with significantly improving. Dr. Patel has been incredibly attentive and thorough throughout the entire process. She closely monitors my progress and makes sure every question or concern I have is addressed. I always feel heard, supported, and well cared for. Her nurse is also wonderful--so kind, attentive, and helpful, which makes every visit even more pleasant. The office environment itself deserves a mention too. It's incredibly welcoming and has such a peaceful, almost zen-like atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. Dr. Patel and her team are truly the best, and I'm so grateful for the positive impact this treatment has had on my health and quality of life.

She's helped me get to the bottom of several health issues and is always incredibly fast at seeing me if anything ever arises. Her dedication to helping the body with not only medicine if needed, but with mind body awareness is something I think is so important because she treats you specifically as to what you need for your entire well being. She and Estrella make you feel so seen and really ease your mind when you are going through stuff. I have always had medical anxiety and they put me at such ease....and of course seeing Violet the wonder dog helps too as dogs always help me stay calm and comforted! I never feel anxious when I go to Heart of Bodhi, between their concern and calm energy and the soothing atmosphere of the practice, I feel absolutely safe and relaxed. Dr. Patel really cares and is so thorough! I have autoimmune stuff and she has been such an integral part of my feeling healthier! I can't recommend her enough. I've seen so many doctors for various things in my life and can say without question that she is the first doctor who has been there for me and made me feel so incredibly seen and cared for. She doesn't cut corners or brush things off, she take you very seriously and helps you get to the bottom of whatever is going on with precision, care and a medical and wholistic approach that I appreciate beyond measure. She and Estrella and Violet are Incredible and I feel beyond blessed to have them in my corner!!
