I've been seeing Coco since Sept. 2022 and she has been an integral part of my healing. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for her. I've been to every specialist and gotten various diagnostic testing done for 10+ years and no one was able to figure out what was going on. I kept hearing "it's stress" and I was diagnosed with CFS and Fibromyalgia. I became chronically depressed thinking I would forever stay housebound and bedridden, but Coco helped me heal. I'm forever indebted to her. I had tried various alternative treatments and nothing worked quite as well as TCM. In sheer desperation, I tried acupuncture and WOW I'm a believer. When I first saw Coco, I was taking 15 supplements and 12 medications. Now, I only take a daily vitamin and 1 medicine. My neurologist who I've seen for 3 years has noticed a huge difference in me and recommended I continue acupuncture and Coco's lifestyle advice. Since day one, Coco has been very honest - I have a very weak immune system and it will take years to heal. I completely agree with her assessment. My body has been in chronic pain and stress my entire life. But because of the major improvements I've seen in my health, I'm hopeful I can recover. I appreciate her sweet, friendly, and positive attitude. It's very easy scheduling with her via text as she responds quickly. Her rooms and the building are always clean and the women at the front desk are very friendly. She loves what she does and is excited to share ways how her clients can heal and better their lives. She encouraged me to save money by introducing me cupping and other pain relief techniques that I'm able to do at home. If I have issues in between my sessions, I can text her and she'll give me advice. There have been moments where I've been extremely stressed/sad about my personal life, and acupuncture has provided an emotional release. I always leave Coco's feeling so much physically and emotionally lighter. Since seeing Coco, I haven't had a panic attack and I've been able to manage my depression a lot better. My GI issues, eczema and blood circulation has greatly improved (see photos). I'm no longer housebound or use a cane. I have a lot more energy, focus, and have better sleep (no more nightmares). No vertigo, hot flashes, numbing/stabbing/tingling pain, or migraines. I can't believe the amazing results I've had. The most important thing is you must make the lifestyle changes and be consistent to see the best results. They're very simple changes you can do at home for free or low-cost. For example, drinking warm water vs cold water, managing stress, getting better sleep, eating healthier (she'll tell you which foods to eat or avoid). Most of the symptoms are completely gone and the ones I'm still working on are 80% better. MY PREVIOUS SYMPTOMS: - Severe GI issues. Diarrhea 4-6 times a day - Monthly cold sores - Eczema w/ blisters. Completely gone with minor scarring. - Chronic fatigue. I felt like my body weighed 500 lbs. I stopped working for 3 years and slept 14-18 hours a day. The smallest task was exhausting & I needed assistance. - Painful acne all over my face, neck, chest, arms, and back. - Painful & heavy periods for 9-10 days. - Debilitating migraines. - Hair loss on my scalp and eyebrows - Vertigo every day. I couldn't bend down at all without falling. - Chronic depression, anxiety, severe mood swings, and panic attacks. Sometimes I would black out. - Random arm and leg spams. Legs felt very weak and unstable. - Sleep disturbance. Daily nightmares & night sweats. - Major brain fog / cognitive issues. - Burning sensations on back, arms, and legs - Numbing, "stabbing pain", and tingling on my arms and legs. - Daily hot flashes. - Widespread chronic muscle and joint pain. A pain I have never ever experienced in my life. I would get "crashes" where I would wake up and my body was stiff, and I was paralyzed in pain. Every joint felt like it was brittle, and a sledgehammer was hitting them. I felt every single muscle in excoriating pain. I would scream because I couldn't move an inch due to the pain being so intense. It was the scariest thing I've ever experienced. - Constant cold hands and feet. Everyone said my body felt like it was "freezing". My hands would get blue and bright red veins. No one could explain why I suddenly had lack of blood circulation. read more

Practitioner has a negative weight bias and an assumption that a client with extra weight must want to lose weight. Even though I stated that I was not there for weight loss assistance, she continued to use the word "fat" when referring to my body. She told me I was "wrong" for drinking room temperature water instead of hot water, that this was why I am "so fat" and referenced one of her receptionists' body size, whom she claimed "lost 40 pounds" because she took her water temperature advice. Also, in the first 5 minutes of the intake, practitioner used the phrase "or you will never heal" approximately a dozen times. I let her know her behavior was offensive and terminated the appointment. My recommendation on how to remedy this issue is to read Health At Every Size, stop presuming weight loss is always a goal, and treat clients of all shapes and sizes with respect. https://asdah.org/health-at-every-size-haes-approach/ read more

Coco Chen is a TCM practitioner. She is extremely easy going but sensible! I am being treated by her and have received pressure point, acupuncture, cupping and a course of herbs for my condition. She cares for your entire well-being, including stress. The other two practitioners are also very good. Beware you may hear something you don't want to hear but everything she's advised me to incorporate into my lifestyle has had an impact on my overall health in a positive way. read more

Being that person that always checks yelp before I go anywhere, I'm surprised no one has written a review for Magic TCM. I've had pain and swelling in different areas of my body that seemed to continue even after visiting multiple doctors. I turned to eastern medicine because I've tried it in the past and it has helped. Coco is gentle and very knowledgeable in acupuncture. She makes you feel comfortable and explains to you what she's doing and why.. I really enjoy the educational process of it too. I completely understand if one is skeptical about acupuncture but if you want to heal from pain, an injury, etc. I 100% recommend Coco. Even the face massage she does isn't your average massage, my skin felt glowing afterwards! read more

I am a military veteran that was referred to CoCo via Community Care (VA). I was skeptical at first, until CoCo started a treatment plan with advice for things I could also do until my next appointment to relieve pain in my neck, back, shoulders and hands. In the few months I have received treatment, I have felt better than I have ever felt in the past 10 years. Following the treatment plan really showed me that I could have pain relief w/o harmful side effects of medicine and injections, which I have now discontinued due to the traditional Chinese techniques and skills that CoCo possess. Highly recommend! read more
