He also told someone who is an absolute gambling addict "that she should do whatever she wants as she's earned it" I found him very dismissive of the multiple falls she's had, broken bones, multiple car accidents and issues getting lost while driving pretty much gaslit those concerns, and said it's okay. She's not able to keep her house or pay bills but also not concerning to him because she passed the mini assessment he gave. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone while pleasant he was not at the top of his own expected level from a doctor.

It was Friday, September 27, 2024, that my life changed overnight. I went from being completely…read morehealthy--perfect bloodwork, no medications, a clean organic diet, slim and fit--to being crippled overnight. I am a Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale University, and a full-time private practitioner. I love my work and my patients. But now, I am the patient. After having two infected molars extracted--remnants of childhood root canals--I suffered a stroke just a day and a half later, paralyzing the right side of my body. My neurologist at Yale's Stroke Clinic believes bacteria entered my bloodstream from the procedure. I was prescribed antibiotics only on the day of extraction, not before. I had always been fiercely independent. Suddenly, I was helpless. Lying in bed, unable to move, I was consumed by an anxiety I had never known. The fear was paralyzing. Nights were sheer terror--I felt trapped in darkness, convinced morning would never come. My body wouldn't move, my mind raced, and the isolation of night made it unbearable. Sleep, crucial for brain repair after a stroke, was impossible. Desperate for relief, I reached out to Xilin Feng Jordan, the owner of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She had successfully treated me for a shoulder issue a decade earlier, and I knew I needed her expertise again. The universe works in mysterious ways--without Xilin, I don't know where I'd be. She is my miracle, my healer--physically, emotionally, and spiritually. With experience treating stroke patients in a Chinese hospital, she makes magic happen. Now, five months post-stroke, while I continue traditional rehab, it is Xilin's acupuncture--four to five times a week--that drives my recovery. I arrive struggling to move, and by the end of each session, I have more mobility than before. Walking, lifting my arm, moving my fingers--all remain challenges, but every day, I grow stronger. Her son, Libai, currently getting his degree in acupuncture, adds to her brilliance, offering insightful and effective recommendations. How wonderful it is to get two brilliant minds. Xilin is more than a practitioner; she is a spiritual healer. The energy she and Libai radiate is infectious. She lives what she teaches, recommending transformative books like The Magic of Surrender by Kute Blackson, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, Believe in Yourself by Joseph Murphy, The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer, and You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. At her suggestion, I now use a Biomat--an FDA-licensed infrared heating pad infused with amethyst and tourmaline, combining far-infrared light and negative ion technology. Every night, I lay on it for an hour while listening to audiobooks. This simple practice has been invaluable to my healing. In addition to acupuncture, Xilin prescribed two powerful herbal formulas. One calmed my crippling nighttime anxiety, allowing me to sleep--something I feared I had lost forever. That intervention was life-changing. Sleep is essential for stroke recovery; it's when the brain repairs itself. Without it, healing stalls. Xilin's medicine gave me back my nights, which in turn, gave me back my recovery. Recovery demands full commitment--physically, mentally, and emotionally. The mind holds immense power. If you believe you won't recover, you won't. Even with the best care, a negative mindset will sabotage progress. We are the product of our beliefs. Xilin has reshaped my perspective. I've let go of anger at the dentist who didn't prescribe antibiotics earlier. Instead, I focus entirely on the present--on healing. My journey is built on Xilin's extraordinary acupuncture, Chinese herbs, healthy eating, quality sleep, physical therapy, rehab, and the wisdom found in the books she recommended. Most importantly, she believes in me, and that belief helps me believe in myself. Her confidence in making a full recovery gives me the strength to keep going. That trust, that unwavering faith in my ability to heal, is just as crucial as any treatment. It is the foundation of my progress, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

For 2 months every day around 5pm I was feeling terrible bloating and reflux and going to sleep…read morebecame very difficult. I couldn't eat much, and I ended up losing 8 pounds in this period. I went twice to my regular doctor who didn't help me much other than request a bunch of exams and saying to take "over the counter medicines" which were not helping at all. Very frustrated I decided to search for a good Chinese acupuncturist and after reading the reviews for Xilin Feng Jordan, I decided to make an appointment. Xilin does the first appointment via video, online. The appointment lasted around 45 minutes when Xilin asked me a lot of questions about my problem and my health. I was surprised with the connections she made with other health problems and with her true interest in knowing more about me. Xilin is not only an experience acupuncturist (I checked online all the designations she carries (Lac, DAc, Dipl. Ac, MSTOM) which tells me that she is always studying, and she mentioned to me that she recently got a certificate from the Back Center in United Kingdom for Bach Flower Therapy. She said that she can use this amazing tool to address patients emotional stress in-depth and to help people enhance their life qualities and prevent emotional induced physical pain. Xilin also specializes in herbs. I believe that the herbs she prescribed to me, in the first week, played a major role in my healing. The leftovers of those miracle/powerful herbs (it is a mixing of various herbs) would stick in my mug and I can imagine what it did inside; no surprise even the night secretion that was coming to my mouth during those 2 months simply disappeared. I went 3 times for acupuncture and from now on Xilin will be my to go person for acupuncture/herbs. Xilin never asked me to do a review, I am doing it because I am so grateful that she gave my life back and I hope I can help other people with the same problem to heal themselves. I feel totally fine, no more bloating of reflux.

5 stars isn't enough for Dr. Joshua Hasbani and his secretary Sue. Dr. Hasbani is a terrific doctor…read moreand absolutely brilliant. I came in struggling with migraines that ran my life, and since starting with him I've gotten my life back. He actually listens, explains everything clearly, and his treatment plan helped me tremendously. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. And Sue is the heart of that office. She's kind, organized, and somehow always manages to make you feel like you're the only patient they have. Getting appointments is easy, she's compassionate, and she keeps everything running smoothly. I owe Dr. Hasbani and Sue so much. Before I found Dr. Hasbani, migraines controlled my days. He's a terrific doctor -- brilliant, patient, and kind. He took me seriously and helped me tremendously. I finally feel like myself again. If you need a neurologist, don't even think twice. Dr. Hasbani and Sue are the dream team. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Nurses Naomi in the CTICU and Dai and Karla on SP 5-3 deserve a special shout-out for professional, compassionate and competent care. The real problem with YNHH is that it's a 45-hours-per-week hospital. It's practically a nursing home, except Mon-Fri 8am-5pm. Even then, it can take forever for procedures to be scheduled and to take place. Many departments close up shop for the weekend, and the ONLY goal for the remaining staff seems to be handing everyone, still alive, back to the active practitioners on Monday morning. In preparation for a discharge on Friday morning, a bedside attempt was made to place a PICC-line. When that failed, placement in radiology was needed, but they were unable to schedule that until the following Tuesday. FOUR extra days in the hospital, because of the weekend, and because of not enough personnel/resources to get him into IR in a timely fashion. A frustrating, and expensive delay! Enduring 4 needless inpatient days, with the noise, discomfort, unappetizing/ cold food, and increased risk of infection was unacceptable. There are reminders posted everywhere to SHHH (Silent Hospitals Help Healing), but the loudness in the hallways was intolerable. There is beeping from cardiac monitors 24/7. The CNAs, in particular, think nothing of sitting around the hallways, ignoring call bells, and loudly calling to or chatting with each other, while student nurses do their jobs for them. If the unit even has a manager, he or she was entirely invisible, and the CNAs clearly have no fear of being seen lounging or complaining. Someone's idea of management is obviously "let's put up signs," rather than actually monitoring what's happening on the unit.

Their billing! I was…read morescheduled for an outpatient procedure at the end of January. They had to have their copay up front. The day of the procedure, the doctor said it was not necessary. They had, however, done an ultrasound to determine this. Two weeks later I called to see where my refund was. I was told it could take 45 days for insurance - given that they did do the ultrasound portion, I did not mention that had the original doctor made the same determination from the original ultrasound, I wouldn't have been there. 45 days later, I call. Yup, I do have a credit balance that would go back to my credit card. A week later, I still don't have it. They had to have my money up front - now they have had my money for 2.5 months. Not acceptable.

I called her office, filled out MORE insurance paperwork, only to be told by her receptionist that they have to cancel my appointment, because--WRONG INSURANCE!
