Esther Ting, PhD LAC

Ester Ting is the real deal. 16 years ago I was depleted on every level (physically, emotionally, financially) from years of traditional infertility treatments and 2 rounds of In-​vitro. She treated me, and although I got pregnant (through 3^rd in-​vitro) while under her care two months later, I won’t make the claim that she was the cure. But I do believe she helped my body get replenished and my ‘systems’ to work, paving the way for a successful treatment and healthy pregnancy. Now every few years, when I have weird ailment that doctors either can’t fix or prescribe medication that seem more dangerous than the ailment itself, I see her and the problem disappears.
Be warned: she will ask you to brew and ingest terrible teas, the worse thing you’ve ever tasted. She will look at your tongue disapprovingly and take your pulse for interminable, awkward minutes, and then she will hurt you at times with her needles. She will teach you a technique of ‘tapping’ to revive your whatchamacallits and you must do it all, and none of this abuse will come cheap. But if you believe in chinese Medicine enough to see a chinese medicine doctor, then she is the one you should see. I have wondered at times if the dread of drinking her teas might be what whips me into shape. Very possible but whatever works.

18.5 years ago an auto accident left me in chronic lower back/​right leg pain. Had neurosurgery (a laminectomy) which arrested the disintigration of my right calf. After years of attempting to control or eliminate this nagging daily pain by rigorous daily exercise, years with personal trainers, several chiropractors, another acupuncturist, physical therapy, pain pills, massage, as well as epidurals,…only exercise & stretching helped but nothing stopped the pain. That is until I saw Esther earlier this year. After only 3 acupuncture sessions & taking Chinese herbs, THE BACK/​LEG PAIN WAS GONE! AND MY RIGHT CALF IS REGENERATING MUSCLE! Yes, I still have other issues that Esther & I are addressing. I don’t know whether or not this is a miracle but it is the best medicine I’ve ever enclountered. Esther knows & appreciates Western medicine. Of Eastern medicine, this fourth-​generation acupuncturist has the knowledge (the science) and the touch (the art). A referral from a friend who went to see Esther for a very different reason (another success story), I am so grateful that I found her.

A true healer. Esther guided me back from the brink of physical and mental collapse. She has a brusque and at times forceful style, but I believe every last drop comes from a place of true spiritual goodness.
I dont mean to insinuate that she is not also gentle!
She is brimming with love, and seems to truly cherish the role of Healer. She talked at length about her background — she came near death 3 times on her journey to become a doctor, and from unlikely circumstances she made it to America and worked her way up.
Bottom line, Esther helped me pull a deeper part of my soul back out and into the light. In a matter of ~3 months I was a new person.
Re «praying to God» — she means it to be nondenominational — it has nothing to do with Christianity, Buddhism etc it’s about getting in touch with your innermost truth, your own belief system, and letting the blueprint of your most perfect self guide the way to wellness.
Highly recommended. Go to her with an open mind.

Ester is anything but a fraud. She is 4^th generation acupuncturist and herbilist. Her style is definitely real chinese-​not new age or western mix. She has degrees from china in medicine too. The herbs are a very important part of the healing… to help you balance… it does take more than one session though. Once you are in balnce the individual body issues fall away and once in balance your body will remember how to heal itself… acupuncture helps you jumpstart your immune system. She has reversed asthma, sinusitous, tennis elbow, womens peri-​menapause and menopausal issues… such as shrinking fibroids perventing hysterectomies… and much more… have a little faith in yourself and connect your mind body emotional systems… treat the source of your issues not the symptoms.

Eastern healing relies on faith, so the prayer question is not out of line. In regards to Ms. Ting’s practice, I have had her treatments and I’d say she is a miracle worker. My wife, father-​in-​law, and 14 year old son would echo my opinion. The previous reviewer is correct about the cost, but it is a small price to pay for RESULTS.

she claims my pain is from not «praying to god.» seriously.
then she charged me an additional $ 300 for stuff i never asked for, like tea.
stay away from this fraud.
