Patient Testimonials
I came in with terrible headaches from Bell’s Palsy. I was taking 3 different prescription pain medications all day and night before seeing Dr. Feng. After my session with Dr. Feng, I have not had to take anything and slept great with no medications, thank you!
Dr. Feng is the best doctor you could see for alternative medicine. He is very honest and explains in detail how you can help yourself even better after treatment. His Qigong classes on Saturday’s mornings are wonderful as you learn to heal your body with simple exercises. Western medicine could not take away the pain of my frozen shoulder nor did physical therapy help, however, after a few acupuncture treatments the pain has gone away. My range of motion is slowly coming back and as the good doctor told me to be patient and let my body heal and not to rush it as an injury on top of another injury is not good. He is truly the best doctor in alternative medicine. — Susan
I first came to Dr. Feng to treat a stubborn cold. Most recently, I’ve come to him to help with hot flashes. And I have to say, the results are amazing. They aren’t immediate, but once the herbs build up in my system and kick in? Heaven. I’ve slept through the last four nights and haven’t had a hot flash in three days — after months of waking up every couple hours and fanning my face at odd times during the day. Dr. Feng is friendly while being no-nonsense. His staff are super nice, too. I’m so glad to have them in my neighborhood and on my health team. — Anne C.
Dr. Feng has been my acupuncturist and healer since 1995. He is spot on when it comes to diagnosing conditions and his treatments are profound. His needle insertions are like none other I’ve had — painless yet full of healing energy. Sometimes, it’s just talking with him alone that brings on the healing, even before he does any acupuncture! Yup, he’s amazing! — Tina
