This review is long overdue. I went to Dr Lee after 5 years…read moreof trying to conceive, having tried everything and exhausted all options. I was mentally and physically drained after years of alternative therapies, fertility massages, acupuncture with different practitioners, HSG, 3 rounds of failed IVF and multiple miscarriages. Apparently my eggs were all abnormal and fertility doctors gave me a 1% chance of getting pregnant. Defeatedly, we began looking into donor eggs and adoption. Then a friend suggested the book "Making Babies" by Dr Sami David and I had a phone consultation with him. At this time, I was 41 and he convinced me to try one more time to have a baby naturally. I found Dr Lee on Google and skeptically began a 3 month treatment program with her - acupuncture weekly with Chinese herbs twice a day, 6 days a week. My husband and I were also very strict with our diets - no alcohol, sugar, pasta, limited beef, no tofu. I had an inkling that I was pregnant about 12 weeks into the treatment but didn't want to get my hopes up. It was too early for a pregnancy test so I mentioned it to Dr Lee. She adapted her treatment in case I was. My pregnancy was confirmed and my OB/GYN began weekly tests with me as I was considered 'extremely high risk'. They expected me to get gestational diabetes with a high chance of abnormalities. I continued treatment with Dr Lee during my first trimester. She helped me with nausea and general well-being. In the end, I had a smooth pregnancy and gave birth at 42y.o. with absolutely no complications as my OB/GYN kept on expecting. My beautiful daughter is now 20 months old, very happy, healthy and bright. She is truly a miracle and would not exist if it weren't for Dr Lee. We truly cannot thank Dr Lee enough. To women out there reading this, I wish you all the best. Know that there are others going through this long exhaustive journey and you are not alone. Miracles do happen!

Without her help, I wouldn't be pregnant today. I did acupuncture without herbs for 12 more weeks during first trimester to prevent a miscarriage. I finally made it to 2nd trimester and the baby is looking really healthy.Lily working at the front is also very nice and sweet. She is very efficient at packing your herbs. I recommend coming here if you're having a hard time conceiving! I cannot thank you enough, Dr. Lee. They're only open once a week, on Wednesdays from 1:30pm-6pm.

My previous masseuse used pressure points which helped release a lot of tension without the painful aftermath. The customer service left me uncomfortable. When I called to make my appointment, I was told there would be a small discount for paying in cash. At checkout, I offered to pay with cash, but no discount was given. It wasn't a big deal, so I didn't question it. What bothered me more was the tipping experience. After I left a tip, the receptionist looked at it and said, "You're only giving this much?" I asked how much was expected, and she told me that tips should be 20%. I ended up giving whatever tip she demanded. Even with the higher tip, this place was still less expensive than where I used to go. My previous massage place simply didn't accept tips, so I understand expectations may be different. However, I didn't appreciate feeling pressured or judged while checking out. It took away from what should have been a relaxing experience. If you decide to come here, I'd recommend expecting to leave around a 20% tip if you plan to return. The massage itself is ok, but because of the checkout experience and the overall atmosphere, I don't plan on coming back.

I have successfully used Accupuncture in the past for sciatic pain so thought let me try this wonderful practice again. I was paired with Dr. Mary - who I just love. We have detailed sessions on my health, well being, sleep, changes in moods, body etc. After which I am treated to a 30 minutes acupuncture treatment. I am happy to report that after 4 sessions, I have more mobility and less pain in my shoulder and arm. I am pain free for several days and don't need to rely on NSAIDs. I am in a 12 weeks program - and am using this to heal several areas that need this treatment. If you are on the fence, don't be, accupuncture and this team (and facility) are just incredible.

Sascha is genuine, thoughtful, skillful, nuanced, artful, and scientific in his approach to treatment. He provides light emotional-spiritual coaching alongside the needle treatment, and I find that to be a very important component of healing from chronic conditions. I highly recommend Sascha to people with autoimmune or other health struggles.

I've been going through a lot in my personal life and I needed some somewhat immediate relief so I booked a session looking for reiki and acupuncture. Sascha read me so easily and immediately saw the level of distress I was in. He accurately and quickly assessed me after asking about what was going on in my personal life and then proceeded straight into the session. He had me on his table for an hour and I swear to god I left that office feeling like a new woman. Prior to this session I was walking around with so much stress and anxiety and I walked out feeling completely different. In case you were curious what kind of treatment I got Sascha centered my treatment around hormonal regulation and calming down my nervous system. It was absolutely what I needed. Sascha has absolutely found a lifelong customer in me and im so grateful I found him

She's incredibly warm, thorough, and takes times to listen to your concerns and take into consideration other lifestyle factors that may influence your treatment.

I've seen a decrease in intensity of my migraines and have successfully conceived with her support. It hasn't been an overnight journey, so be prepared to give acupuncture time to work.

Best Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor I know…read more My friend referred me to Hal when I injured myself working out. He fixed me up incredibly fast. And he can do wonders with creating herbal formulas. He was able to see conditions that I didn't know I had (which I started showing symptoms months later) then fixed me up right away when it happened. He was able to tell what was going on with my mom and brother's health within minutes of meeting them without me or them having said a word. Most importantly, he has great ethics and doesn't overcharge for herbs like a lot of places do. A lot of TCM doctors like to add expensive herbs just to oversell their formula, but Hal will only use herbs that are best suited for your condition and will be a fraction of the cost of other formulas.

If you want a fix from your ailments then come here. Hal treats the whole body.

I send any loved ones to him and he takes very good care of them. He is the one person I trust to manage the care of those closest to me. I have seen him treat everything from the symptoms of pancreatic cancer, painful menstruation, fibroids, IBS, auto-immune diseases, to everyday aches and pains. I highly recommend seeing him!
