I visited this clinic on May 6, 2025, for cupping therapy--my third time receiving this treatment…read morehere. After the session, the practitioner mentioned I had "a few blisters" and applied some ointment. Since the cupping was done on my back, I couldn't see the area myself and trusted their assessment. However, once I got home and checked, I was shocked to find that nearly every cupping mark was filled with blisters--far more than "a few." Sleeping that night was very uncomfortable, and the affected areas grew painful over time. What concerns me most is the way this was handled. Before leaving, I was asked to sign a waiver. In hindsight, it felt like the practitioner was aware of the extent of the reaction and had me sign paperwork before I realized what had happened. I understand that blistering can occasionally occur with cupping, but the lack of transparency and aftercare, along with how the situation was managed, left me very disappointed. I hope this helps others make an informed decision.

I wanted to try as much as I could before taking up my doctor's referral to a fertility clinic to start looking into IVF, etc... I am so happy to have found Jen. She taught me all about my cycle and how to track my different cycle phases. I learned that even though my ovulation tests were saying I was ovulating, I actually wasn't and we worked to correct hormonal imbalances and my cycle length to improve my chances of getting pregnant. I really appreciated this over the push to get started on infertility drugs since I wanted to try to conceive as naturally as possible. Once we started working on all that, my husband went in to visit Jen as well and found her treatments to help calm and relax the mind. I am so elated to have found Jen and my life will never be the same now! I am expecting my first baby in 2 weeks and cannot say enough about the helpfulness, knowledge, and calming energy Jen exerts. I am beyond happy and hope that others who are struggling with infertility or even other problems give Jen a try. Her calming nature and intense knowledge of TCM is incredibly helpful at calming our nerves when we're stressed out and helping overcome obstacles in our health when need be. Thanks Jen!!

And WOW I had no idea Acupuncture could be so effective in alleviating my anxiety and putting me at such ease.

I received both acupuncture and herbal medicine and think both of them helped my recovery. Would highly recommend.

My mom and brother have been going to Dr Tai and had their chronic problems fixed by him. I visited…read morehim recently due to a flu. I'm breastfeeding so I didn't want to take any medications, especially antibiotics. However, my flu was really bad: I had repetitive fevers and chills, swollen glands, and a bad headache. I saw Dr Tai and he gave me an acupuncture session, honored my request of no medication, and had his assistant massage my head. I felt so much better after the session. My headache was gone immediately though my glands were still swollen and my throat still hurt. He gave me some herbal cream to put on my neck. I was reluctant to use it so I only put it on once a day for two days (instead of four times a day), but my throat got better in two days! I never imagined acupuncture and herbs can work this fast and it's all natural :) I went back again to get seen for my knee problem that I had since delivery. Dr Tai said my knees are fine; it's my uterus that didn't heal properly causing knee pain. He gave me another acupuncture session and medication for feet soak. Again, no oral medication per my request. I asked him for food recommendations and he willingly told me and even wrote them down for me. Unlike other Chinese medicine doctors I've seen. They usually just want you to buy their herbal medicines (probably the main way they make money) instead of telling you what food you can eat on a regular basis. I was supposed to soak my feet in the medicine for 30 days, but I had to leave town, so I only did it for 5 days. My knees are perfectly fine after the 5 days though. It just works!! It's been two weeks and they haven't bothered me since. The clinic is pretty shabby, but I guess that's what happens when a doctor doesn't focus on making money, or looking high end to charge more or attract more patients. Upon my visits, I can feel Dr Tai, unlike other doctors I have seen, genuinely wants to heal me. He respects the fact I don't want to take oral medicines and tried to think of ways to help me that he can't make money of. I would definitely come back next time I'm in town to get my other chronic issues fixed!

Now at 40 weeks term, Julie made a house visit to help get my cervix ready, release any fears about my birth and get my baby into the right position. My midwives and doula all pushed me to get this done as they've seen great results in their clients.

I didn't write this review 9 months ago (choosing instead to write to the management to share my…read moreconcerns privately), but 9 months later with no response at all from the team at Qi, I'm still upset by my experience and I don't want another plus sized woman to repeat it. So here goes. I am a plus sized woman. Just a fact. Happily, it's pretty rare that I feel that my size impacts the way I'm treated. In fact, the only time in recent memory that I've felt my size impacted how I was treated by someone was with the massage I received at Qi. Now, this is not a statement against everyone that works there. In fact, I had a great massage many years ago (I even asked the team if they could help me track her down, to no response), but I couldn't tell you who it was with. This time however, I selected to have an appointment with Jorg. He specializes in joint, posture & movement issues, and with chronic problems I have stemming from a past broken leg and multiple related surgeries, he seemed like the perfect match. Only, that hope was one way, as I got the distinct impression from the moment he walked in the room that I wasn't his "ideal" client. What followed was a 50 minute massage (in a 60 minute timeslot), zero check-ins about pressure or anything at all, and about the only words he said to me felt like a complete slap in the face. At the end of our time, he told me bluntly that he specializes in *sports* massage, and that the next time I come in? I should book with someone else. Message received loud and clear, Jorg. I'm truly sorry that in your world, only the fit and slender qualify for your help.
