Natural Medicine Center

My anemia went from an 8 hemoglobin count to a 14 in 2 months. My numbing and tingling is 80−90% better in 2 months. If I could afford to go the 3 times a week, I’d be completely healed but I can only go once maybe twice a week. I feel immediate relief every visit.
1÷1÷2014 — Update — I have been symptom free for several months now. I have another issue that came up recently which I am going back for, but the previous neuropathy and numbing is all gone. Yeay! Thanks so much, Dr. Huang and all his caring staff.

I cannot say enough of good things about this center. The staff is corteous and the place is clean. Dr. Kevin has helped me a lot in the last 10 years. I have had health problems where I went to Western medical doctor and he or she could only just do so much. Then, I go to this center and Dr. Kevin helped me further with pain, injury, and internal system problems.
About 10 years ago, I had a tennis elbow. A simple problem, right? Nah! I went to a Western medical doctor and was given pain killers and muscle relaxers. It only temporarily relieved the pain but the problem got worse that I could not sleep at night. I went to a physical therapy and was given a warm ultra sound and massage. After months, the problem didn’t go away and I was more sleep deprived. It became so bad that I could not open a water bottle. I decided to bite the bullet and spent a lot of money (since Western Medical insurance won’t pay) and after 20 acu treatments this problem disappeared until today.
Then, I had a problem with digestion and had so much stomach acids produced inside. A western doctor did a test and told me about this. He gave me drugs to reduce the production of acid. Only when I took the drug that it worked. If I stopped the drug, the problem came back. I don’t want to take drug every day because it is bad for my kidney and liver. So I asked Dr. Kevin for herb and acupuncture treatment. I had about 12 weeks of treatment and the problem disappeared. I don’t have to take the drugs again.
Now, moving forward to June 2012, I had a major knee injury. I broke my knee cap into 2. I had a major surgery where an orthopedic surgeon put it together with 4 screws. I had about 6 months of physical therapy. The pt helped a lot but I still have a lot of pain 6 months after the surgery. When the weather got cold I suffer. When I walked too far, my knee was in pain and stiff. I was not able to walk like a normal people and was afraid that people will run me over when I am in the crowd because I walked to slow. I walked with a cane. Orthopedic released me from his care of treatment but my knee was still not recovered completely. Maybe he thought that eventually it would recover. My knee was still swollen big from the scar tissues of the injury. I decided to take my own health problem into my own hands and again bite the bullet to spend a lot of money to have acupuncture treatments and herbs. After about 10 acu treatments, I didn’t have to walk with a cane anymore. The pain was gone. The swelling and bumps on my knee reduced. I walk normal now and not afraid to face the crowd. Although I still have some left over scar tissues and still need to have more treatments and still in treatments. It was a major injury after all. But week by week, my knee improved. My knee may not go back to normal ever again but I don’t have any pain.
The herbs work if they are taken regularly. It is not like western drugs that you take pills and the pain is gone (but it will come back again). The herbs helped for our own body to heal naturally from the inside. I take herbs for my knee and I believe that the herbs that I took regularly for 3 months helped me to break down the scar tissues around my knee so the pain and swelling eventually are gone. The effect was not immediate but it was over time.
The process of healing is slow with acupuncture and herbs but I learned that the healing stayed more permanently than using drugs.
There are other female internal system problems that Dr. Kevin helped me but I don’t feel comfortable discussing the details.
I was already vegan before I walked into this clinic. It was a coincidence that he recommends a vegan diet for his patients while in treatments. I like this place more because of it. He only recommends the vegan diet while patients are in treatment so it is not so bad. He did recommend ‘no coffee’ for me. I reduced drinking a lot of coffee and do feel better. Although I love coffee but I tried to listen to him. Coffee can be bad, too, I guess. We are what we eat and if we want to be healthy I guess we need to put the healthy stuff inside.

Dr. Huang and his staff are amazing. They are incredibly caring, knowledgeable and skilled at what they do. if you have «tried everything» and you’re not sure what else there is to do, give Dr. Huang a try.

It’s been a while and I haven’t been back since my round of treatments. I think the treatments helped. It certainly wasn’t an overnight sensation. I’m not sure the supplements helped. I spent a lot of money here on supplements. I think my back pain was just a phase. I seem to be getting better lately. Your mileage may vary.
Overall, I think they know what they’re doing. The acupuncture seemed to be targeted and done well. It’s pricey. The supplements didn’t seem to help me.

So like many people today, I had an aliment that western medicine was not helping. I went to the Natural Medicine Center because on their website it said to come in for a «free 20 min health consultation». They had wonderful reviews so I thought I would give it a try. While I was in the waiting room, I read viable reviews of people who had great success receiving treatment and being healed. I was encouraged and looking forward to what they would tell me. Well, when I got in with the Dr. there really is NO FREE CONSULTATION. He told me that in order to find out how much treatment I needed, they had to do a $ 100 test. I should have left then… but I decided that I had spent that much on other office visits, so why not? Well after doing the little test that took 2 minutes, he proceeded to tell me that I was in desperate need of his immediate services and that it would cost a little less than $ 3000 for an eight week treatment! But if I paid in full he would cut me a deal. Well, needless to say I never returned. Instead, I went back on the internet and found a great acupuncturist who had almost 30 glowing reviews on Unilocal and cost only $ 50 per treatment. He was so honest that he told me that with my aliment if after two session I don’t see any improvement, that I don’t need to come back for anymore. Natural Medicine Center did look to be able to help people and had lots of amazing testimonials, but if you decide to go there just know they will charge you $ 100 for a consultation and they are not the most affordable choice.

My first session yesterday, and the pain in my arm has almost disappeared, Im going back today since he wants to see me 3 times this week, I can actually put on my bra now, I couldn’t do that before. I had to put it on like a t-​shirt or twist it around like a pre-​teenage girl to the front! Thank God for this Man, very gentle very assuring, thinks he can cure me from diabetes, thyroid, and back pain, I’m willing to give him a chance, price but my health is not negotiable! and since I have been paying the Chiro for so long, what a waste of money that turned out to be! Only thing is… every time I get acupuncture, I also get my period, does this happen to anyone else? I was not due for another 2 weeks! This would be the only negative!

This place gives a bad name to Acupuncturists, Chinese Medicine, and natural medicine in general.
I am a student pursuing my masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine and have taken the time to receive treatments at local practices. Partly to see what the patient experiences … and also to get a gauge on the quality of service being given. I am a year into my schooling and am familiar with the foundations of diagnosis, treatment, and prescription. I was in shock when I left this place!
He very quickly looked through my medical history. My chief complaint was insomnia so we talked briefly about that. He asked no questions as to diet, work, personal life … which may bring on insomnia at times. He never checked my pulse … never looked at my tongue … both of which are principals of diagnosis. All he said was Yup, we definitely can help you. He went on and on about their being a christain faith ran practice … so he must prey on firm religous believers or something. He used two points … one point on my neck where he didn’t even move my hair out of the way to make sure he inserted it correctly! Again, I was shocked.
Once the session was over … one of his assistants gave me two bottles of some «special» patented herbs that were going to cost me $ 75, which I declined. Then she also said he wanted to see me two days after … and then three times a week for the next month. Excuse ME?!? Most practitioners would recommend 1x week … or if an extreme acute condition more. But for insomnia this was completely unreasonable. $ 50 later I was out the door.
I was very disappointed that this guy is in business. He «sells» and pushes people more than helping them. This was my experience there and perhaps he is helping people and he just had to meet his personal quota that day or something. Really terrible though. I hope he reads this and changes the way he treats patients.
