• I've been seeing Dr. Hai on a regular basis for several years. She cured nerve problems of my arm and hand. She has been taking good care of my other disorders, like sinusitis, chronic low back pain, jaw pain, stress, lack of energy, voice problems, etc., you name it she can treat! Dr. hai has given me relief from symptoms that I thought to be incurable. She is the best doctor with so much knowledge and skills. I'd tell everyone to see Dr. Hai when they need acupuncture.

• I suffered from terrible upper back pain due to arthritis and bone spurs at my neck. I could not lie flat and fully move my arms, even after high dose of cortisone injections. Dr. Hai got rid of my pain right after the first treatment! Although my job related body gestures sometimes brought the pain back, each time when I walked out of Dr. Hais office, I felt like a new person. I think acupuncture and Chinese herbs are miracles.

• Dr. Hai is simply wonderful. Being pregnant, I was hesitant to take any medications that weren't absolutely necessary. This meant that I was suffering greatly during the spring allergy season. I went to Dr. Hai on a recommendation of a coworker and after just 4 treatments, I was able to breathe and sleep through the night as if I didn't have any allergies at all. Now I continue to visit Dr. Hai as her treatments help to alleviate the pains and symptoms associated with my pregnancy. I love that I am finding relief without having to resort to medication.

• I was diagnosed as "perimenopause" when I was 38y. The doctor told me I could never have baby because of my abnormal hormone levels. My only hope was trying alternative medicine for the infertility. Ever since I started to see Dr. Hai, I got persistent encouragement by her combined Eastern/Western knowledge, excellent services and my improved symptoms. After 4 month of cyclic herbal treatments and acupuncture, I felt great in general and my hormones returned to normal. I had natural pregnancy after 8 months of treatment.

• I went to see Dr. Hai for helping with my Bells palsy. My face looked horrible, I was unable to close one eye, hold water, and chew food, and I felt pain in my face and ear area. The pills I got from my regular doctor and neurologist didn't work at all for the 2 weeks I was on them. Thankfully, Dr. Hai fixed the problems after 4 acupuncture sessions. I could sleep without pain, and I could use my facial muscles to close my eye, brush my teeth, and chew food.

• I had multiple fibroids in my uterus. They grew very fast. Within 6 months of diagnosis, the biggest fibroid had protruded like a big ball to my abdomen, causing lots of pain and pressure to my internal organs. My friend brought me to see Dr. Hai. She understood my needle-phobia feeling, and treated me with herbs alone. My pain and internal pressure was quickly resolved in a couple of weeks. I had no symptom during the 2-month waiting period before surgery.

• The acne scars and dark spots on my face had been bothering me since I was a teenager. But I'm so afraid of any surgical procedures on my face. Thanks to Dr. Hai and her wonderful needles and herbal masks, the dark spots quickly subsided, and the scars are much less visible now. I'm very happy with the treatments.

• I was 43 years old when I got married. I wanted a child badly, and urgently. My husband and I tried one year for natural conception without any success. The IVF specialist told me I wasnt even an appropriate candidate for IVF due to some changed hormone levels and my age, unless I used donors eggs. But I didnt want to give up yet. While searching online for alternative treatment options, I found many comments from infertility patients, talking about how wonderful Chinese herbs and acupuncture worked for them. I picked Dr. Hai to help me because of her strong background in medicine, especially herbal medicine. Honestly, I did not expect any magical outcome then. I only wished to get some benefits from the treatments before I found another reproductive specialist for a second opinion, or to raise my chance of success when I did take IVF procedures with other womens eggs. Dr. Hai was very knowledgeable about infertility issues. She was also an extremely responsible doctor, carefully following up every subtle change of my body responses. Her cyclical herbal treatment and needles always made me very relaxed yet energetic. To my surprise, the magic did happen to me! I got pregnant naturally at the age of 44, after only 1 month of herb and acupuncture treatments! I was very, very happy for the long awaited pregnancy. I want to tell every infertility patient: I truly believe in Chinese medicine. The herbs and acupuncture work wonderfully for infertility, and Dr. Hai is definitely the right expert to help you!

• Wow! My 5-year-old daughter's allergic hives, red swollen eyes and runny nose went away right in front of my eyes at Dr. Hai's office! In just two short acupuncture treatments and 2 weeks of herbs taken at home, my daughter was completely symptom-free for the rest of the season. It's amazing! I know so many people have been suffering from allergies. I'll spread Dr. Hai's name to my neighbors, friends, and colleagues.

• I saw Dr. Hai for my fibromyalgia flaring up. Ive had this problem for years, and need daily medications to stop the pain and help me sleep. But the past 6 months I had to take more and more pills, still suffering from enormous pain everywhere. As a result, I got bad side effects from the medications: my stomach was often hurting, and I became very depressed. I would rather die than struggle with the pain and insomnia. My primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Hai for help. She offered me acupuncture and some traditional non-needle treatments. I felt so much better after each session. Within 1 month, I did not need painkillers anymore, my sleeping pills were reduced to a minimum dose, and I was laughing and running with the kids again! Im so grateful to Dr. Hai. She helped me get back to my normal life.

• I had been diagnosed with kidney stones for 2 years. When I had acute and unbearable back pain, the X-ray showed that a button-sized stone was stuck in the pathway of urine discharge, with lots of mud looking stuff in my right kidney. Following the doctors instructions, I took pain medicine every 4 hours, drank tons of water, kept jumping and walking back and forth at the stairs. However, after 3 whole days my back still had the same level of pain. Plus, my abdomen became so bloated that I could not straighten up my body. I threw up with severe pain anytime I ate food. It felt like my intestine was completely blocked. My doctor told me those were side effects of the pain medicine. But I had to continue this way till the stone was expelled. Too exhausted to jump and walk with my empty stomach, I decided to switch to my ancestors traditional therapies (Im Chinese). I knew Dr. Hua Hai for years. I trusted her most among all Chinese medicine practitioners because of her outstanding training background in both Western and Chinese medicines, as well as many years of clinical practice and research experiences. She treated me on my back and front using needles and cups. In only half an hour, my pain and bloating were significantly reduced. I fell asleep on her treatment table during the course, because I felt greatly relieved. She also gave me 5 bags of bulk herbs to cook daily at home. After taking the second bag, my intestine felt unblocked. When the third bag was finished, I discharged a stone from my urine, and no more pain ever since! I sincerely thank Dr. Hais help. Hope other people with similar situations also benefit from Dr. Hais wonderful medical skills.

• I had stroke sequelae for nearly 3 months when I saw Dr. Hai. My main problem then was loss of all swallowing functions. Dr. Hai treated me with scalp and body acupuncture with best techniques and services. The result was really amazing. With just 4 treatments, I passed all swallowing tests given by my doctor, so that my stomach tube (it was in my body for 3 months) could be removed!

• Whenever I was stressed out I'd get bad eczema breakout. It happened again in the afternoon right before I took my medical board exam. Dr. Hai helped me promptly with acupuncture. My skin itches and discharge were completely gone in the morning of test day. I was able to concentrate on the test.

• I had been constantly coughing for more than 4 months. I tried various medications, but nothing worked. Dr. Hai cured my stubborn coughs with Chinese herbs in one week. I totally believe in this magic medicine!

• I went to Dr. Hua Hai for help with problems from osteo-arthritis. I had sought help for 6 years from my primary physician and arthritis specialists without much improvement in my condition. I would wake up every morning with all over stiffness, pain, sore feet, an aching back, swollen fingers, and red puffy joints that made me unable to make a fist for several hours. I decided to try acupuncture as I had had great success in ridding of migraine headaches a few years ago with it. With the use of acupuncture needles and herbal tea I brewed and drank twice a day, the results have been dramatic for me. I no longer need my chiropractor. My back pain and foot pain are gone. I wake up in the morning and can make a fist right away. The joint swelling has reduced dramatically: I hold my hands to the light and I see spaces between my fingers and the creases in my skin have returned. Dr. Hai has given me tremendous relief.

• My hair suddenly fell off badly following my relocation, marriage, and enrollment in a graduate program at a rush within 6 months. The big bald patches at my head horrified me. Dr. Hai and acupuncture saved me! My hair grew back in a couple of months with even healthier look.

• As a medical doctor, I have good health insurance benefits. However, my allergy was still lingering for months with daily use of several medications. It further developed into pneumonia. Fully understood the side effects of long term use from these medications, I switched to alternative medicine treatment. I picked up Dr. Hai to treat me based on her strong medical background in both Western and Eastern medicines, and rich clinical experiences. Dr. Hai and her Chinese herbs are definitely amazing: all my symptoms were well controlled in a few days. The pneumonia was completely recovered in 2 weeks. Following Dr. Hai's advice, I'm still taking some herbs for "root treatment" (i.e., to strengthen my immune system). Most importantly, I experienced no side effect from these herbs.

• I had enormous pain from my TMJ problems for more than 40 years. Before I saw Dr. Hai, my head, neck was burning and exploding, eyes bright red, and face swollen. The pain woke me up frequently at night, and stopped me from working during daytime. I tried all kinds of pain medicines. None of them helped. I did not believe these painkillers any more, so that cancelled my health insurance. Because so many people were talking about acupuncture, I thought this would be my last try. Dr. Hai made my wish come true! I got immediate pain relief, and the effect lasted several days after each acupuncture treatment. I was able to resume my job in 2 months.

• I was tortured with migraine since I was a high school student. Recent 2 years I had been on daily medications to control it. Planned for pregnancy, my doctor told me I should not take these medications. However, since I quit the medications the severe headache kicked in everyday for 3 weeks. My doctor had to suggest me consider alternative medicine. Dr. Hai took away my long-term headache in just 5 treatments. I got pregnant soon after the migraine headache was gone!
  -- Cathy, scientist
  
  
• My job and family life gave me lots of stress. I had been very depressed, sad and lonely all day, accompanied with bad sleep, poor concentration, and painful muscle tension. Dr. Hai did great job on my conditions. Her acupuncture and herb therapy really helped me. My mind and body are well functioning again. I have more energy.

• I was 32 years old when I went to an infertility center for help. The tests showed that all my parameters were normal except that my menstrual cycles were too long: my cycles usually span 48-60 days. We tried intrauterine insemination three times to no avail. The reproductive specialists suggested me to try alternative medicine instead. A friend of mine then recommended Dr. Hai. Being Chinese, I have always known that Chinese medicine can work wonders on infertility problems. However, I had hesitated to see a Chinese doctor here in the US because I'm not sure how to find someone who is trustworthy. My friend's recommendation gave me confidence and I began to work with Dr. Hai, taking herb medicine everyday and acupunctures once per week. Dr. Hai impresses me with her broad knowledge and rich experiences in the practice. She is very confident and patient, always trying her best to explain the diagnosis and procedures during each visit. With her help, I got pregnant after 80 days' treatments. I highly recommend her to anyone with unexplained infertility problems.

• Dr Hai has worked wonders for me! When I started getting treatment from her, nearly a year ago, I had given up on Western medicine, as they could find no reason for my digestive problems. I had constant nausea, bloating and complete loss of appetite, so that I was underweight and weak. Within a couple of months, Dr Hai had turned my life around for me. I felt much healthier and was eating normally again by Christmas. Now I'm pregnant and acupuncture has provided me much relief from morning sickness. I highly recommend Dr Hai for stomach problems as well as infertility.

• I surely do appreciate how Dr. Hai has helped me!!! There is no doubt her expertise has made such a difference in my daily life. I experienced unbearable groin pain when I came to Dr. Hai, and now it is practically non-existent! I had no idea what to expect from TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Dr. Hai surely has made a believer out of me!!! I sing your praises, Dr. Hai! Thank you for making a difference in my health and life - I am very thankful that my pain doctor sent me to see you. I consider you a "Blessing"!

• My husband and I tried to conceive for a long time without success. The doctor couldn't find the cause and suggested artificial reproductive techniques. After many failed IUIs and an IVF, we decided to give traditional Chinese medicine a try. I went to see Dr. Hai because of good reviews and her unique background in western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. I am glad that I did! Within only two cycles of treatment of herbs and acupuncture, I got pregnant! I wish I had come to see Dr. Hai earlier. She is very professional and attentive in treating her patients. She is also friendly and patient. I felt confident and was able to relax under her superior care. I highly recommend Dr. Hai, a caring doctor with great expertise. She is the best doctor I've ever had!For those ladies out there with infertility issues, especially with failed IVFs or IUIs, give Dr. Hai a try! You won't regret it.

• I first came to see Dr. Hai two months ago after suffering with Peyronie's disease (penis pain with abnormal curvature and chronic inflammation) for two years. I had been to three different urologists, a naturopath, a few energy healers, and had spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on various supplements throughout the course of this ailment. I began noticing improvements after the second treatment by Dr. Hai, so I continued going. Each time I went, things gradually got better and better. I had my eighth treatment about a week ago and haven't had any pain since, not to mention, I've also gotten my shape back. I feel like my old self again (I never thought I'd see that day!). Dr. Hai has managed to do what no one else has been able to, she is the greatest! Looks like I may very well cancel my next urology appointment.

• I was involved in a car accident about two years ago and was dealing with severe back pains. At times I had a hard time walking or sitting for a long period of time and could not sleep on my back or side at all. I had done multiple physical therapy and chiropractic sessions and nothing was working. I finally went to see a spine specialist and after a few more sessions of physical therapy with them my doctor recommended me to Dr. Hai for acupuncture.  He said he wanted me to get some traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture to see if that will help and he had heard Dr. Hai was very good.  It’s been about 6 months now that I have been going to see Dr. Hai and I have to say it’s been the best treatment that I have done so far. At first it was very nerve racking because of the severity of my pain and problems. I have to say it was no picnic especially since I'm terrified of needles. But Dr. Hai took her time and calmed me down and told me to have patience -- this procedure does not take effect over night. She is very friendly and the treatment environment is calm and relaxing. I would recommend Dr, Hai to anyone suffering from pain or anyone who generally wants a cleansing experience for their body.

• I have been going to Dr. Hai since 2007. She made me believe in acupuncture treatment. She has treated me for various conditions over the years. From menopause, frozen shoulder, sciatic nerve pain, tennis elbow and now TMJ.Honestly when I couldn't get help from physical therapy, Dr. Hai helped me. Recently I was having so much hand pain; it would wake me up several times a night. Pain killers, ointment, physical therapy ... name it I did it. I was depressed and felt I had to live with the pain. In fact that's what the doctors said. So I told Dr. Hai and asked if she could help. She said she will do a few treatments. In two treatments I was recovered 80%! I am not waking up middle of the night. I even threw a few parties and cooked and had no pain afterwards! It's been 4 months and I am still doing fine. I would highly recommend Dr. Hai.
  -- Farah, manager
  
  
• Holy crap!  Twice Dr. Hai has saved me.  Once for frozen shoulder - I woke up and couldn't even touch my left shoulder with my right hand.  In one treatment, most of my range of motion was back. I did another 10-12 treatments to relieve "stuck blood," and five years later, I haven't had another problem. The other was for the back of my knees and the Baker's cyst in one - as well as IT band problems. Her treatments - although less fun than, say, a day at Disney - have been extremely effective. If you're open to acupuncture, you should try her.

• I have worked with Dr. Hai and H & G Chinese medicine for the last three years. Dr. Hai has an excellent understanding of both Chinese and Western medicine. She takes the time to explain the techniques and the underlying medical basis for the treatments. I have seen Dr. Hai for a number of sports-related injuries and have been extremely pleased with the results. Much quicker and more effective for me than typical physical therapy or popping pills. I have recommended more than half a dozen people to her.

• Dr. Hua Hai is the best doctor I have ever seen.  She has extensive expertise in Chinese medicine, as well as western medicine, which is rare among practitioners of Chinese medicine here. Equally importantly, she genuinely cares about her patients. My wife and I have been to her clinic for a year, and we have had a superb experience.

• Dr Hai does fantastic work. After decades of Sinus troubles in only a few visits I was cured. Now I have her helping me with my back!
  -- Paul,retail VP
  
  
• Dr. Hai is my miracle worker. I have suffered for years with many health issues ranging from IBS to hormonal imbalance to back pain. Dr. Hai's regular acupuncture treatments with herbs have helped improve my overall health. She is very knowledgeable about western medicine as well and is a great compliment to my preventative care. Recently, she even helped me get over a cough quickly. It was keeping me up all night. After one visit and some herbs, I slept great that same night and my cough quickly diminished with the herbs. When I ask her questions about my treatment, she explains the reasons behind what she is doing. While I can't explain why it works, I can tell you it does. If you have found no answers in western medicine for what ails you, I strongly recommend a consultation with Dr. Hai.
