Here is how he started helping: After about 5…read moreyears of my MD not figuring out my diagnosis...he thought I had reflux, I discovered it was Achalasia and did all the western medicine testing to confirm it in 2009. With Achalasia the motility of the esophagus does not work right and the sphincter is too tight. All the food and liquid comes back up and you can't sleep at night from cough up white foamy stuff. My life force dwindled. I tried homeopathy, acupuncture (with a different doc), and all sorts of energetic healing for a year. With western medicine my choices were surgery or dilatation of the sphincter of the esophagus. In 2010 I was referred to Dr. Zhijiang Chen (CJ) DAOM, L.Ac.. After his consult, I decided to do TCM with him and do the dilatation of my sphincter. Most of my treatment has been with herbs and diet and he brought me back to life where my symptoms are gone. Now he still helps me manage the Achalasia (which is chronic disease) with herbs. I can eat most anything except spicy foods and live a normal life. And I believe these herbs will prevent me from getting a more dibiliating disease. I highly recommend Dr. CJ.

Dr. Chen (C.J.) has helped lessen the horrific nighttime leg cramps by about 95% with his amazing knowledge of acupuncture. He has also made it possible for me to gain control of debilitating diarrhea issues by proving positively how well he understands how foods affect the body in negative ways. In 1 week of following his strict regulation of what I ate, and did NOT, eat, I was able to experience my first "normal" digestive week in years! I no longer must be a victim of my aging body! I give him my total trust to care for my health in ways that Western medicine rejects, because they are not taught natural healing in med. school. He's a patient, kind, and compassionate dr.

It got so bad I needed pain killers which wasn't helping and all I could do was lie down. Every movement injected a sharp pain! Hence I was desperate! I had always been a believer of acupuncture and Eastern medicine, but did not have any reliable contacts in Chicago, having moved here 3 years ago. Fortunately, Dr Suh was a name near me in my insurance's network and was fortunate that he could see me immediately. I don't how I can last another day if I can only make appointments and receive no treatment today! After seeing Dr Suh, my pain was almost completely gone in 30 minutes of treatment. Though I need a few more treatments, I can stand up and walk around without pain now! This sounds like a paid commercial, but trust me, it's just a thankful patient rejoicing in his answered prayers and for Dr Suh's skillful hands! Dr Suh, doesn't say much, but he fixed me up real good! Highly recommended and am super glad I found a reliable physician!

I have never had acupuncture before. First experience. This doc was recommended to…read moreMe by someone who knows Asian medicine...so, I suppose that my experience was what one might generally expect from a Chinese acupuncturist. The office is small and not especially well kept. A friendly greeting and I was quickly sent to a room. The doc was right behind me. I know that he had 30 or more years of experience ...apparently mostly with Asian clients since his English wasn't too hood; hard for Me to understand. His demeanor was brash, curt. I struggled to Make sure he Knew what my issues were (lower back). I lay face down on a chiropractor's table. He inserted the needles (no pain) and he attached electrical stimulation to the needles. He turned up the juice and asked me to let him know how well I was toleration the electricity. I lay there for about maybe 20 minutes. He came back, pulled the needles out and began "cupping". I couldn't tell if there was a benefit to that. Them massage with an electric vibrator. Time to go. That'll be $X please. And...out. I returned a half dozen times. There was some minor short-term relief of symptoms. Not an unpleasant experience. No magic though. I might try another acupuncturist some time, just to compare.

Not to mention that the quality of care and service is EXCEPTIONAL! I have been struggling with infertility for the last 2.5 years. I have been desperate to find a practitioner that could treat me holistically without the use of drugs and use alternative therapies for the mind, body and soul. I was drawn to HHCC exactly for all the above. Kim at HHCC offers herbology and healing touch which was exactly what I was seeking . After much research on my own, the use of herbs, healing touch in addition to acupuncture can increase the odds of a successful pregnancy. It was meant to be! Healing touch has brought me so much inner peace and well being during such a stressful and emotional time in my life. I highly recommend Kim at HHCC ! I am due July 2014

I am forever grateful that I found someone who supported me on that journey and helped me achieve what I had been told might never happen. Today, I have my beautiful son, and that is something I will always be thankful for. He is so much more than an acupuncturist to me. He is someone I will forever associate with one of the greatest blessings of my life. Every time I look at my son, I am reminded of how incredibly thankful I am that our paths crossed. I thank him and the team for the care, support, and hope he gave me during a time when I desperately needed it.

He was very knowledgeable, but I felt there was a lack of warmth, empathy, and genuine interest in getting to know me and my situation. During our conversations, he brought up the COVID vaccine as a possible factor in my fertility struggles and quickly began pushing IVF as the next step. While I understand that IVF may be the right choice for some people, I felt that my concerns, feelings, and personal timeline were not being heard or respected. I went here for a few months and, despite explaining that I was not ready to pursue IVF, the topic continued to be pushed during multiple visits. Ultimately, I began to feel more like a transaction than a person navigating an incredibly personal and emotional journey. I understand that everyone has different experiences, and I recognize his knowledge, but I was looking for a more compassionate, supportive, and individualized approach. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet those expectations, and I decided not to return.

He works fast, is a an astute listener, and I do agree, his knowledge of western as well as eastern medicine puts him in a position where he can diagnose and treat patients extremely effectively with Modern Chinese Medicine. If you are thinking of trying medication or surgery, I would really strongly suggest seeing Dr Chen first. Side effects can last long after the meds have gone. i know most people know that the needles used are really barely there, but since my boyfriend told me he "didn't want needles, thank you very much", i will affirm to ye all, you will feel nothing in most cases, sometimes a small pinch.
