My family and I, eight of us, including our dog Bruno, have all been under the care of Gina for about 6 years. She has treated all eight of us for various things. From the simple common cold to the extreme cases of high cholestrol and digestive issues.
Gina is awesome at what she does. She not only is so knowledgable about eastern medicine, she encourages you to naturally heal your situations through educating us, and counseling us on the proper nutrition to help our situations.
Back in 2006 I was being treated for pneumonia by my regular physician. I kept going to the doctor because I kept getting more and more ill. (I am allergic to most antibiotics and because of my sensitivity to medication doctors have a very difficult time treating me, are very reluctant to try anything.) They gave me a couple of different types of antibiotics to try, but nothing worked in fact I became worse. I was basically on my death bed and when my employee referred me to Gina. I was so sick that I did not care to even second guess how an acupuncturist could help me with my illness. I had nothing to lose at this point so I agreed to have her treat me. I was so ill that she had to come to my house. Gina gave me a treatment and some chinese herbs to take and the next day I was alive again. It was so amazing because we had a family vacation planned for a trip to Maui and following week and I so thought that we were going to have to cancel the trip. We went on vacation and I am happy to say that since this time, I have not gone back to a western doctor to be treated.
Gina has become our family physician if you will. She has treated us for fever, colds, sinus infections, bladder and kidney infections, eczema, neck injuries, back injuries, sprained ankles, high cholestrol, vision, vertigo, stress, anxiety, diarrhea, insomnia the list goes on. Whenever we have a problem, Gina always comes thru for us.
Back in 2009 my daughter was 12 years old. She played club volleyball and the week before her Regional tournament she sprained her ankle during practice. Her ankle was so swollen that you could not tell that she even had an ankle. Her leg resembled one of an elephant. I immediately called Gina right from the gym. She told me to soak the foot in hot water then ice it for 20 minutes and repeat this until Tuesday then bring her in to see me. (Personally I though she was nuts, I was First Aid certified and knew that my daughter needed "RICE" not ice and hot water, I never was thought to soak a sprain in hot water come) Any way Gina advised us to take her to emergency just to make sure that there was no broken bones. The doctor said that indeed it was a really bad sprain and that she was to be out from playing for 8 weeks and that she needed to stay off of the foot as much as possible and just keep it elevated.
At this point we began to panic. My daughter was 1 of 9 players on her volleyball team and the only setter. I called Gina again to let her know what the doctor had said. She said to follow what she said and do the ice and hot water and all would be fine. Because of my upbring and the use of western medical practices, I had my doubts. Nevertheless we did exactly what Gina told us to do and then on Tuesday I took her to see Gina. She walked in with one slipper and using her cruches and could not even put an once of weight on the foot. Amazingly she walked out an hour later without the cruches and bare foot because she had no slipper for the sprained foot. We are all at awe.
Since then we have not gone to our regular doctors for any injuries. I sprained my ankle on 6/14. I followed Gina's instructions and was walking the following week. I was on my crutches for only 4 days. Doctor also told me that I would be out for 8 weeks, yeah right, not when you have GIna......
All in all, I highly recommend Gina for everything. Again from the simple cold to trying to have a baby, she can help in all aspects. The greatest thing about her is that she is such a genuine person and truly cares. My family and I have referred so many people to her and not one person has come back to say that she couldn't help them. read more
