• 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. Hai’s 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 Bell’s 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 wasn’t even an appropriate candidate for IVF due to some changed hormone levels and my age, unless I used donor’s eggs. But I didn’t 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 women’s 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. I’ve 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! I’m 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 doctor’s 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 ancestor’s traditional therapies (I’m 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. Hai’s help. Hope other people with similar situations also benefit from Dr. Hai’s 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!

• 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.
