After years of miscarriages and trying to get pregnant, 2 powerful sessions with Dr. Chong and I am…read moredue in August! I was seeing her specifically for a hormonal imbalance. 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!

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 highly recommend Dr. Tsai and his magic touch!

I wanted to share a recent win against back pain--…read more On September 25th, I had an appointment with Patricia, and she was nothing less than a miracle worker. After just one session, my intense sharp pain turned into a dull ache and then disappeared completely. The experience was life-changing. Initially, I struggled to lift my leg even a few inches while laying on my back, and after an hour of treatment, I could raise it a full 12 inches! The pain had been so severe that getting into and out of my car was a struggle, and the following day, I was able to get out of bed without any pain at all.

Everyone speaks in a whisper. I am fortunate to be working with William on my back and arm pains. He really knows his business, including anatomy, acupuncture, and complete healing. There are several beds and lounges inside, occupied by clients experiencing acupuncture treatments and quietly relaxing. OAM offers additional comfort and healing services, such as massage. Their pricing is very reasonable, with multiple visit packages. I can say acupuncture is painless and an effective treatment alternative. I have already experienced welcomed relief after two visits , and will be returning until my acupuncture and therapy have been a complete success. I highly recommend OAM - Ocean Acupuncture & Massage.

They asked me for my story, what I was hoping to gain/why I'd reached out, and they provided so many tools and resources along the way.

Each and every visit, they check in on any new symptoms I have and make sure to address any questions and concerns. I feel truly supported by them. I was able to conceive while in their care and my body has never felt better. I continued receiving treatments through pregnancy and now I'm just waiting for my little one to make his debut!! I know so much more about my body and am so thankful for this team. They've truly made a lasting impact and I will see them in postpartum and when I'm ready to try for baby #2! They are worth the investment.

Now, I'm expecting a baby girl in April and truly believe I couldn't have done it without her.

Dr. Sacco truly holds your hand through every step of the process, especially during the scary and uncertain moments. She's so knowledgeable, kind, and intuitive -- the type of practitioner who genuinely cares about your journey and celebrates every milestone with you. Worth every dollar and then some. If you're navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, or just need extra support during pregnancy, go see Dr. Sacco. She's truly one of a kind.
