I don't even think they know how functional medicine works?? I got off the phone with Lesa and I'm…read moreperplexed as to what they are doing and what type of business this is? I gave all my symptoms and concerns and she referred me to a mindfulness coach & they refused to see me; saying they don't think they can help. I'm pretty sure a mindfulness coach isn't going to cure me of hormone imbalance, potential mold toxicity, potential parasites, gut imbalances, allergens, etc. I need testing done for those things. They refused to see me, because I told her my psychological symptoms in relation to my physical symptoms! When the body is chronically inflamed there are going to be psychological symptoms ‍ Lesa said that psych problems can cause physical health problems.....obviously?!! & while this is true in certain cases (mental illness can rear it's ugly head in many ways, IBS, Chronic nausea, dry mouth, even infertility and so on); this is not my case. I know my body. She said that many of their clients treated their brain first and didn't end up needing the testing. I'm not sure how seeing a mindfulness coach can starve parasites, cure celiac, treat mold poisoning and maybe even reverse cancer. But ok! I could have just gone back to a western doctor to be told this considering I, along with everyone else I know have been gaslit our entire lives by them. It's ironic that that they talk about exactly this on their website... She was so misinformed; on top of this whole process costing thousands and thousands of dollars. I wish I checked the Yelp reviews before wasting my time on a phone consultation. Wtf is this business for?? Weight loss??

I saw three neurologists, a pain management specialist, had Radio-frequency ablation which only made it worse, tried different types of pain medication and went to a physical therapist. Nothing worked. I was at my wits end. A friend recommended Frank. After 2 treatments I started feeling better. After 4 more I no longer had any pain! I was pain free for 13 months and felt wonderful... Early this fall the headaches returned. I had other health issues that may have caused the headaches to return. I visited Frank again and Voila! After 5 treatments the headaches are gone! I have to say, "It's amazing!" I highly recommend Frank. He's kind, considerate, down to earth and is wonderful about explaining the how's and why's of the practice of acupuncture. I plan to set up a maintenance program with him.

I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Interstitial Lung Disease in Feb. 2019, and I contacted Dr Bob Xu…read more He offered me an treatment of diet and herbal tea which has cleared my lungs up. He was willing to work with my western doctors, which was great. In June 2019, I unfortunately got shingles of left side of face. Dr Xu had a herbal poultice I put on shingle spots. Almost immediately, they stopped hurting, spreading, and healing. It took about 3 weeks of putting poultice on, but no scarring at all and it worked like a charm.
