I love Dr. Vu. I decided he would be my doctor when I saw him handle my mother with authentic…read morerespect as she railed on what she does not want and said what she is willing to do in her particular patient care at that moment. Dr. Vu kept his easy demeanor, said okay, and offered solutions. He can handle my mom. I never see anyone win my mom. She can deploy a variety of facts and emotional expressions to achieve her goals. My mom is retired ICU and Psych nurse. Even though she comes from conventional medicine, she practices all natural for herself. When I signed on w him, I just grew more impressed. He is consistent in listening well to me, even calling attention to things I could get some help on (but not noticing its importance). This office feels what I think a wholistic office would be. I really appreciate Dr. Vu's gentleness. Acupuncture is here too. The acupuncturist is the best I've ever had. She is well worth the time and expense. She is phenomenal. On acupuncture: I was living in NYC when 9/11 happened. One of the major attributions to us New Yorkers weathering and healing so well from that moment and all the things that unfolded from there is acupuncture --it's mainstream there. Initially I started treatments at the Swedish Institute. Renown in NYC. A lawyer friend enrolled in the program. career changing to becoming an acupuncturist. He told me of his acupuncturist. I started going to that guy (who was always booked three weeks ahead). He is renown. Dr. Vu's acupuncturist is even more phenomenal than all my previous acupuncturists. From a car accident I have injuries to three cervical vertebrae and three lumbar vertebrae. The major nerve for the left side of my body gave me 24/7 piercing pain. I was told I will need a pain doctor and pain shots for the rest of my life. Dr. Vu knew that was not for me. His acupuncturist gave me weekly treatments that helped me function, and enough time to figure out how to move the discs back enough into place to stop touching the major nerve. (I am a yoga teacher, so I know some about the spine, and general anatomy). Thanks to CI Medical's acupuncturist I never even felt I needed to make an appointment with the pain clinic. Why is she the best? She is the best balance of determining the right acupuncture points to yield the most effective path to healing/treatment sans any minutiae of pain (on needle insertion). She is gifted, insightful, and sensitive. It's amazing she is here in Houston, Texas.

My goal was to transfer all my family members' medical care to CI Medical Center. Because we are…read moredissatisfied with current arrangement at a Sugarcreek clinic. We just don't like it keeps changing doctors every 3 years while we were their longtime patients. I found CI Medical Center through my insurance company's website as Dr. Vu accepts new patients. I also read Yelp reviews praising on Dr. Vu by a verifiable source. I was quite convinced to give this place a try. Unfortunately, the information was incorrect. The clinic accepts new patients by other doctors, just not Dr. Vu. But I went ahead made my appointment and wanted to see if this place works for my needs. My experience was sub par. My doctor rushed me during both first and second visits. I was particularly disgusted about how little care I received after discussing my lab results and trying to sell me CPAP machine. I felt like dealing with an used car salesperson. Majority of time we were talking about something I don't want. Then, I asked about a condition start with ST... but I can't remember the proper name from my other doctor's record. I said, "you can check the records..." I was told there were "too many pages... I didn't read them." and for the pain... "just take Tylenol for the neck pain..." Eh? I thought asking other physicians to fax my records was to know about my conditions. One more discussion that I certainly don't approve in a doctor-patient setting. I was told the owner didn't like about me posting photos of their facility online. (If you are the owner on Yelp or Google, you can remove the photos. I don't mind.) Oh, thanks for telling me during my office visit about your social media issues. Next time, please contact the poster directly. So, I thought seeing a doctor in Chinatown for its convenience could save time and gas from driving across town to get medical care. Boy, I was wrong. I realized getting a good medical treatment is more important than anything else. The only reason to save this review from 1 star to end the year was the flexibility on reschedule.
