I've been really curious about Chinese preventative medicine for a bit now and when my friend said…read morethat she was having some back pain, we decided to stop by Chinese Herbs & Acupuncture together. We did call ahead to make an appointment, but I believe that he may also do walk-ins. To start off, you fill out a form with your basic information and main concerns that you want to work on. Then, Dr. Au takes you into his office for a short consultation. He will ask you about what you listed on your form and ask questions to best pin-point your issues. He will also take your blood pressure and pulse. He can tell a lot about your body simply from taking your pulse. I'm really not a needle person so I was a bit anxious but it really wasn't painful. He even connected the needles to electiccurrent and it's a weird feeling at first but it ends up feeling like a deep tissue massage. Everything is clean and while it may not be a bougie spa vibe-- it's still very comfortable. I walked out drinking the Dr. Au kool-aid. I will be back and will be recommending to anyone and everyone.

Me (being my impatient self) wanted to explore other possibilities. I'm still young and relatively healthy, so I was looking for a naturopathic option. She did an extensive consultation and walked me through the plan before we started acupuncture. She asked about things like my diet, lifestyle, and gave me great advice on what I should/shouldn't do. The next appointment was scheduled for acupuncture. I'm not sure if it was the timing or the stars just aligned. I immediately got pregnant after the first session! A pregnancy test confirmed it a month later on Father's Day. I saw her religiously during the first trimester and sparingly throughout my pregnancy. Based off my pulse, she was able to identify the baby's gender and confirmed we're having a boy! Now, a year later, we have a healthy and happy baby boy! I still see her once a month post partum to help my body heal. Thank you Dr. Mei-Lin! PS She also helped fix my reoccurring knee and ankle pains Thanks for reading my reviews!

Originally, we were Dr. Christina's patients since August 2014. A little over 2 years ago, Dr…read more Nathan became our doctor and we've been receiving the most outstanding care and amazing treatment every single week. Dr. Nathan has an incredibly calming energy. He is extremely patient and deeply intuitive to the concerns presented to him. When we became his patients, I had undergone two surgeries in a short period of time. With his expertise in pain management, he helped me through one of the most difficult struggles of my life. Even throughout my unusually long, extended rehabilitation process, he gently guides me through with his insightfulness, professional experience and wealth of knowledge. Eventually, I will undergo another major surgery. It puts me at ease that once again, he will be there each step of the way. Both him and his wife, Dr. Christina, are rare treasures in this field of medicine. There aren't many practices like theirs, not even on the mainland. My husband and I are forever grateful for their sacrifice, hard work and the good people that they are.

Tak Wah Tong, one of the few Chinese medicinal herbal stores in Hawaii, and Dr. Lok On Lau is a…read morevery nice doctor. I haven't been to a store like this myself to see the doctor for an assessment to better my health. In fact, it's been a very, very long time since I've drank those type of Chinese medicinal herbs. It's always been my parents and grandparents combining their own ingredients that was taught to them from their parents and grandparents or other family members, and possibly they were taught by older generations too. When I was a kid, I dreaded drinking that bitter, thick, black concoction. I already felt sick, the smell and taste of it makes even feel worse!! Why? Why? Why?! I made a deal with my parents and grandparents to drink it in one gulp only if I can have a candy--a candy chaser lol. Well, I'm not a kid now (on the outside, at least), so I don't think I need one now? I was recommended Tak Wah Tong from a client. She used it for her sickness. I normally rely on Western medicine to get the job done for quick relief and quick healing, but Western medicines doesn't improve your health from the inside as Traditional Chinese medicine. Tak Wah Tong is located in the Chinatown Cultural Plaza among Beretania. It's in the inner part of the plaza, next to the big stage, and near Won Kee and Legend Seafood restaurants. You'll be greeted by a kind elder gentleman and lady. They both can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and very understandable English. You explain your issues and health concerns to the doctor, and he will check and feel your pulse on both your wrists. Then he will write up his ingredients list to make your herbal drink. After that, they both go to work, and gather and weigh all your ingredients. I have really no idea on the cost as I've never did this. My family usually just buys the whole bags and prepare at home. I did the 5-day plan and that ran me $60 even. Seems okay. They only accept Cash or Check, no credit or debit cards. No need appointment. The inside of the store is clean and well-lit. I'm surprised there was no giant apothecary cabinet, but everything was in jars and containers along the wall and scattered here and there. Overall, I do strongly believe in Traditional Chinese medicine. Whenever I was sick, and Western medicine fails, Chinese medicine always heals me. Western medicine gets straight to the point for quick relief, and Chinese medicine heals within and the hidden, underlying issue. I'm only day three of my medicine, but hopefully it'll work in the long run.

I just got a call after being on the waitlist for 8 months, and told they're "going down the list"…read moreto reach out to waitlisted people. I was essentially told I had to decide that minute (like literally THAT MINUTE) if I would accept an upcoming appointment in a few weeks. I'm in treatment with a different acupuncturist - it's been 8 months after all - and I needed a moment to think about this. I wanted to review my care plan and goals after not hearing from this practice for so long. Very much caught off guard. I asked if I could have time to think (I wanted about an hour), and was told no - I would need to decide right then THAT MINUTE - and she needed to proceed down the waitlist. I felt extremely pressured to make a decision on the spot, in a very vulnerable aspect of health care - fertility and women's health. I was about to say yes, and then after thinking about it for the three seconds I had and how unprofessional this all felt - my answer turned to a hard "no." This practice made me feel like a mark, a number, an insignificant person on a list to get through until they hit their client booking goals. In spite of how talented a healer Edie Uchida might be, this policy is unfair and the person delivering this info, very cold.

This is my 3rd time going to see Kyle. I found him on Yelp, and want to thank the previous yelpers…read morewho wrote a review because that really helped me in making my decision to give him a try. He is located in Kailua, and works out of a home office. He takes his time to listen to your problem and will recommend treatment. I asked for estim with my acupuncture treatment. He also provided some suggestions for stretching to help alleviate some pain and prevent reinjury. He also did ear seeding, where he places a tiny tiny seed-like metal pin in my ear as an acupressure point. If you can take the pain I would recommend doing it. Each time I have gone kyle has provided relief to my pain. The price is very reasonable, I am sure each individual treatment is different. I would HIGHLY recommend that if you are looking for an acupuncture treatment on the Windward side, give him a call. He does not push you to purchase any product that he has available, he doesn't even tell you about them. But he has products set up around his treatment area. If you have question ask about them. Personally, I did purchase the ice rub, it was in a roll-on style glass, and it is great! You don't really feel it like other muscle rubs but you will know it is working. Enjoy !!

She is kind, caring, thorough, takes her time, and takes notes and refers back to them. The first time I saw her I was at the lowest point in my life that I have ever lived through, and I left the appointment feeling incredibly amazing, and I stayed that way for days after.

Her price may be a bit higher than others charge, but she spends a significant amount of time on each of her appointments, and the magic is real.
