Her treatments are powerful but gentle, always considering the time of month I was in. On the day my cycle was supposed to start, she took extra care to be more gentle with my treatment that day. She is very professional but you can tell she is passionate (and clearly very good) about her work. Thank you, Dr. Chong!

The result is always the same: she is incredibly thorough, friendly and professional...and I get better. Kimberley reminds me of what a village doctor would be like from years ago. She truly cares about her patients and is very individualized with her treatment. She may ask me about diet, sleep, stress, pain, etc, any factors that may be contributing to what's going on. Her holistic approach is incredibly thorough while still efficient, and in my experience, the results speak for themselves! I am so grateful for her work and feel lucky to have such a skilled and compassionate practitioner here in North County, my village :) :) Highly recommend!

Claire is an amazing woman and puts her heart and soul into her products! From the moment I met…read moreher, I knew she was there to help me any way possible. She was extremely helpful in answering any questions I had about encapsulation and the benefits of placenta consumption. Claire put me at ease when I had questions about safety and the potential risks associated with this process. We discussed options other than encapsulation, including a tincture, a salve, smoothies, and belly binding. Claire was extremely kind, gentle, and supportive of my decision to proceed with all of them sans the binding and helped ensure I was comfortable with the entire process! She followed up with me pre-delivery and then again several times postpartum, ensuring baby and I were doing well. Claire was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Every child and pregnancy is different. My first was a breeze, but I struggled more with the second. I can't imagine what it would have been like without Claire and her products this time around. She was instrumental to my joyful postpartum experiences and I would (and have) recommend her to anyone! As a side note - I didn't realize how much consuming my placenta would increase my milk supply. It was so much, that I donated nearly 200 ounces of milk in the first 3 months! Also, since I had such an easy delivery, I didn't need the salve for "down there." Instead, I used it on stretch marks, as a (facial) lotion, and as a diaper rash cream, which worked AMAZINGLY well!

Claire was there to take my placenta within an hour of the surprise-month-early birth, and I had pills and a tincture by the following day. The packaging was adorable, the placenta art was colorful and frame-worthy, and best of all, I had no postpartum depression; a huge plus since I had to go home and take care of a 17-month old. I still use the tincture when I feel "the bitch" coming out once a month and it totally helps me get back to my normal self. If I was crazy enough to have a third baby, there would be no question about who I'd use. Oh, and as another plus, she helped fit my Kinderpack so that my newborn could be comfortable enough to sleep while I chased my toddler around. I feel like a pro at this Mom thing now!

My experience with Dr. Tsai was in 2017. Prior to seeing Dr. Tsai I had reoccurring hives that…read morestarted on my upper arms - they'd appear everyday for an hr & subside. I used histamines; but in spite of that, they soon progressed to my lower arms, the back of my thighs, then all over my body. They'd occur more often lasting longer periods, sometimes in the middle of the night. I tried baking soda baths among other remedies, but nothing worked, and I felt desperate for relief! Chinese medicine is known to cure the root cause, and not just simply treat symptoms; my search lead me here. Dr. Tsai did tell me the first week would be difficult, as the symptoms would express even more in the process of purging. That happened. Over the course of 6 months I visited weekly or biweekly. In that period, I had 3 different prescriptions of Chinese herbal medicine, that I'd brew to take 3 times a day. (I will say after a month and a half I had no more hive breakouts.) The medicine is no cake walk, but I wanted to never experience another breakout so I stayed the course. I can say I've never had one to this day. Dr. Tsai's skills and bedside manners are impeccable! I've mentioned him to friends over the years in conversation, even after moving out of CA. Preface, I've never left a review for anything, I'm leaving this now because I've always wanted to; and I've just come off conversing/recommending him again to a family acquaintance that lives in CA. I remain so appreciative of his care!

I couldn't sit, I couldn't lay down and my lower back and my entire lower abdomen was locked up. I was relying on pain management for over a week with no clear answers. I even went to my trusted chiropractor but got zero relief. I had heard acupuncture could help and at that point I was willing to try anything. I found Cai on Yelp and got in same day to see her. She assessed me and figured out my pain wasn't stemming from a joint, which is what everyone else thought. She identified two muscles that had been strained and went to work for 2 hours, with needles on both my front and my back. In one session my pain is 90% gone and I'm totally amazed at how much better I feel. She has made me a believer and I will now be back any time I need some relief. Thank you so much Cai

Still had a 4" deficit when I raised both arms up above my head - I just could not get the mobility and so I looked for an excellent acupuncturist. After three sessions of acupuncture, I can say that my mobility has returned. I'm continuing to do the stretches that she taught me. I have also augmented my treatment with Cai with massage and a red light therapy shoulder harness that I purchased on Amazon. Highly recommend acupuncture with Cai's Clinic of Acupuncture if you are starting to suffer from frozen shoulders due to hormonal changes; I am 63 and I know that's what caused my frozen shoulder. If my right shoulder starts acting up I know where to go! I have recommended Cai to another frozen shoulder sufferer and she also found immediate relief from just one treatment. She is also continuing the stretching and heat compresses.
