    I have an ectopic pregnancy before and injected chemotherapy drug, it hurt my body a lot and I'm very scared about the coming pregnancy. Also, I have tried to get pregnant starting from Aug. 2021 and not succeed. So, introduced by friends, I found Dr. Zhao. As a Chinese medicine specialist also myself, I am very picky about Chinese medicine Dr. The first time I visited Dr zhao, I love his setting of clinic, very spacious and comfy. He insists with his own way of treating his patients instead of considering my opinion all the time, which actually gives me confidence as he is very well known about his ability. I followed all instruction Dr zhao recommended to me (herbs and acupuncture together) and I get pregnant only 20 days after the first visitation. He also provide prescription to my husband meanwhile and my husband drink the herbs for around 10 days before I get pregnant( he still continue drink it as he feels super super good for the result, he has acne issues and digestive issues, and the symptom becomes better and better, he barely has any acne now after almost one month drug, Dr zhao mentioned his situation is due to "shi qi" in Chinese medicine which could also affect motility of the sperm) My HCG get tripled for the past 2 days which really surprises my ob and could almost exclude ectopic pregnancy. I'm week 5 now and hope I could have a healthy baby in the coming July

    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.

    I am SO excited that an integrative medical clinic has finally arrived here in the 626!! There is…read moreso much to offer for our health with the benefits of both east and west medicine but so many practitioners are opposed to the other. In the past I have seen many a western doctor that doesn't understand traditional Chinese medicine so they ask me not to partake in it. But I grew up on traditional Chinese medicine and it can cure a lot of things that western medicine has said they can't. For example, I had gallstones once and usually that means surgery but I took some herbs from a licensed TCM doctor and they were gone in a week! On the flip side, TCM doesn't have the cool stuff western medicine has like lab data and fancy scans etc. It's often stressful for me to be asked to choose one or the other practice and after a long time searching I am so so happy this place has opened!!! Dr Chung is starting in February but Dr Lee has already started and she is a gem. I can tell she really cares about her patients. I needed a new doctor when my previous one went on maternity leave and I'm so glad I found her. Dr Lee has both western and Eastern medical knowledge and she is kind and compassionate. I have already seen improvement in my eczema and other issues even though it has only been three weeks. She treats the whole body big picture style- physical, mental, lifestyle, etc. Dr Lee is also very natural oriented which aligns with my philosophies, she tries to go for natural vs medicine/supplement if possible and she pushes me to make my own changes in my lifestyle so I can be healthier because she is absolutely right that a doctor can do a portion to help but the individual needs to make the necessary lifestyle changes to meet the doctor halfway for full health. Dr Lee really takes the time to answer my questions and I don't feel rushed. You can ask for spa music during acupuncture if it helps you relax and she gives a button to press to call her during the "rest" time which is reassuring since I've definitely been in situations in other clinics where I've been left in the room and I needed help but no one heard me call for help. Dr Lee will take your blood pressure every time you see her! I've also met Dr Chung and I am looking forward to seeing him as he has a calm and honest demeanor. He also of course believes in TCM so the number of tools for fixing health problems is like doubled now and more unnecessary procedures would definitely be avoided this way. The office is clean. They take insurance for both acupuncture and primary care doctor which is a big plus, their is ample free parking in the parking lot, the lobby has a zen garden which is nice to look at it and calming. The place is a little hard to find... It's the section of offices between the golf course and the Plaza with Jokers Coffee. Thank you for the help!!

At my first visit, they took my body weight measurement and vitals. Dr. Miyamoto came in and asked about my health history, any issues that I had, and reason for visiting the chiropractor. After, they used electrode therapy and the heated roller bed to relax tense muscles. I went back to the waiting room to see Dr. Chen. He was very knowledgeable, skillful, and experienced. He pointed out all the areas I was misaligned as well as from injuries in the past. After 4 visits, my workouts and daily life felt much more comfortable and I felt more flexible and capable. Mind you, I'm only 24 live a very active lifestyle and workout a lot. It's the little things that I took for granted. Dr. Chen showed me how my body was supposed to feel.
