You can tell right away that he really understands the body as a whole and treats the root cause, not just the symptoms. Dr. Shen is thorough, thoughtful, and takes the time to explain what's going on and why he's recommending a specific treatment. I never feel rushed, and I always leave feeling balanced and cared for. One thing I absolutely love is that the clinic offers pre-packaged herbs and teas that you can purchase directly. It makes following through with treatment so much easier and more convenient, especially if you're new to herbal medicine or don't want the hassle of mixing things yourself. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your health--whether it's for ongoing wellness or specific concerns--Dr. Shen is the best in the South Bay. I can't recommend Shen Clinic enough!

The doctor is in every day that they are open, and he is available for a consultation or other services. At first I actually came here with the impression that the herbs are available for preventative measures but it's basically for ailments. A consultation plus a seven day supply of herbs is about $130 so it is not cheap. However, if you actually do your homework on the different herbs you can find them all here. The cashier/staff to the doctor has on hand , has limited knowledge, so it would be best if you come prepared to get what you want in terms of preventative medicine. The doctor himself is kmowledgeable and would probably be worth the $35 to figure out a cure to persistent issues

As a TCM girlie who is looking for treatment through holistic health, Dr. Chang has been helping me…read moretreat and balance my body since summer of 2024. Having experienced acupuncture from multiple TCM practitioners, I can tell that Dr. Chang's points are very accurate and really tap into the Qi, or the body's energy, effectively. She is also skilled at herbal medicines and will prescribe them if she feels you can benefit from them. Her Torrance office is welcoming, cozy, and super clean. Treatment is usually 20-25 minutes, but I'm sure she's left me longer sometimes if she feels like I need it. I always walk out feeling refreshed and happy. Now, she is doing a couple days in Arcadia, so I no longer need to drive so far to see her. It's on Duarte in the shared medical units. She also takes several PPO insurances so definitely reach out to check if you're in network.

I was passed on to the next person with pain medication and no solution. I was pretty hopeless, as I was popping a lot of pills and not getting a lot of sleep. That was when I found Dr. Chang on Yelp. Upon arriving at the office, I was kindly greeted by Dr. Chang in a very clean, calm, and inviting environment. Dr. Chang was very thorough in her examination. Along with the cupping, the treatment she provided quickly took away my inflammation. Within one month of treatment I was completely free from swelling or pain. I was amazed at how effective and efficient the treatment was. Dr. Chang does not push the herbs like most TCM doctors do. She also speaks fluent Taiwanese and Mandarin Chinese. It feels like going home every time I see her.

Originally I was looking for a more holistic approach to help with my medical issues as Western medicine was not really treating any of my underlying issues. Christi did a full comprehensive assessment of my health (which took hours) then started out with a highly regimented herbal prescription. Once that seemed to lessen my initial systems of discomfort, we combined acupuncture into my weekly routine. Within a short period of time, my main health issue I was seeing her for started to heal and disappear. Soon, I was bringing my teen-aged kids too from the common cold to minor sport related injuries. Now their teammates are going in too after seeing the results. Christi has done, moxa healing, electro acupuncture, ginger moxa, cupping, herbal foot soaks which are heavenly and a whole array of other holistic services on my family. Recently, I had a setback with my health and with the Stay-At-Home policy in place, South Bay Total Health was closed to patients. When Christi suggested Energy Healing, I was open to the idea. I was willing to try anything to rid the pains my body was going through. Before we started, she sent over simple instructions and when the time came, I wasn't sure what to expect as she physically was not with me. During the session, I felt calm. Nothing special, just relaxed. Once the session was over, my pain level was about 75% better. It now has been about 5 days since the Energy Healing Session, I am almost pain free.
