I was in excruciating pain and screaming in agony from sciatica. I would wake up at night and start screaming and crying because It's so painful. Every night I couldn't rest... 1 session of acupuncture and cupping, I felt immediate relief and I slept like a baby. Such sweet relief! I highly recommend. I'm going for continuous treatment to help prevent me from needing surgery. read more

Dr. Chen is absolutely amazing. Having a severely degenerative L4 disc and after trying several epidural injections and physical therapy, my pain did not improve. I decided to give Dr. Chen a try since my only other alternative was spinal fusion surgery. The pain I was experiencing is 95% improved after two months of seeing Dr. Chen. I am no longer considering surgery. Thank you Dr. Chen. You are truly a magician!!! read more

Shanna Chen - Front office - Traditional Chinese Medicine Near Me - Mission Hills, California

I call Doctor Chen THE MIRACLE WORKER. She was instrumental in achieving our long goal of becoming PARENTS. Before I proceed, let me tell you that I will become 46 years old in two months, and my 47 year old husband and I are happy biological parents of 3 months old healthy twins. Before meeting Doctor Chen, my husband and I went through unsuccessful IVF cycles. Each cycle stopped halfway with grim prognosis: slim chances of pregnancy due to unviable, genetically impaired embryos. Each meeting with infertility doctors was a stab in the heart. No doctor was willing to transfer the embryos that were deemed "genetically challenged" After reading about positive effects of acupuncture in infertility treatments, I researched the specialists in the area and chose Dr. Chen. Based in what I read, she was helping women like me on our journeys to motherhood. I started my acupuncture treatments with Doctor Chen immediately. It helped that she is also a very warm, inviting person with positive energy and impressive experience in the ancient Chinese art of acupuncture healing. Combined with my new IVF doctor's protocol change in treatment, Dr. Chen's consistent weekly regiment in my case brought anticipated results. The embryos of the next two cycles, though still not of greatest quality, were better than before. We decided to take a risk and transferred the best embryos we got. A week later, we were ecstatic to learn of my pregnancy. I continued my acupuncture sessions with Dr. Chen all the way into the last stages of the third trimester. Meanwhile, after being warned by my fertility doctor that the fetuses most likely will have genetic abnormalities, we did all the pregnancy related genetic tests. The results for both twin babies came back normal. Dr Chen' acupuncture sessions played an ENORMOUS part of our babies being with us in a good health today. I thank God daily for Dr,Chen, for her patient and wonderful character, for her skills. She is a true Master of her craft. Thank You, Dear Doctor for believing in our common goal and for making our dreams to parenthood a reality. read more

Insurance/Billing: Though my knee did feel better after treatments, I have to say the billing department or person named Tiffany dealing with insurance was horrible that I would not go here specifically for this. I would recommend you get a receipt for each treatment especially if your a cash patient. I had paid cash and they had said they would call me once they billed my insurance as their billing person (Tiffany was not there). I never received a call until I followed up with the insurance and they said they did in fact pay the office. I really think they thought I would forget or something. I had to call them myself, and only then did they reimburse me and they were being weird about the copay. For this reason alone, I would not recommend her office. I rather just go to someone who can bill right then and there and not go through this hassle. Office/Service: In regards to the service and establishment, I thought it could be a bit more tidy and clean and just more nice in regards to the set up. I felt the beds looked used like they were picked up from a lawn about to be thrown away in a dumpster (I know I'm mean but it's true! (-_-). I also felt each time I went I was rushed. Dr. Chen sees maybe up to 5 or 6 patients at a time and so you just really feel like another number. Parking: This parking lot is located right next to Kennedy High School so it is quite busy, you may get lucky finding a spot but if not you may have to park near Taco Bell and walk down. Lasting thoughts: All in all, I really did find relief with accupuncture with Dr. Chen, but if you don't want the hassle with insurance and such, and you are okay with paying cash, then I guess it is okay. I was not impressed with how they handled my situation nor the set up of the place. read more

My fiance had sever stomach poison that lasted about 10 days. This came with diaherrea, vomitting, severe anxiety and depression, also confusion. Went to the ER and all they did for him is give him IV, for dehydration. Blood test came in good, hospital said everything looked good but maybe its a virus thats not showing up in the test yet. After a few days of the er my fiance was still really bad. So we looked into acupuncture and herbs and found this place. After the first acupuncture session and a treatment my fiance was feeling better already. But he felt amazing after the second session. My fiance got on a month program, two acupuncture sessions a week for a month and some herbs and he feels better then he felt even before he got this poison. My fiance, brothers and his father side has sever anxiety attack/panic attack problems and this seems to even remove that genetic side of my fiance(atleast for now). Were thankful for her. I highly recommend her if you do have anxiety or depression problems and also indegestion problem, 100%. read more

I wanted to write an update since I've had a few people message me about Dr. Chen. I successfully got pregnant with the help of Dr. Chen on my 3rd IUI, I saw her 2x a week until I was 12 weeks pregnant. Her instincts are spot on, always. She told me I was pregnant before I was and she told me I was having a girl and that little girl is now a year old. I recently moved to Arizona and am very sad to be leaving the AMAZING Dr. Chen behind. If you are looking for help with your fertility journey, I highly suggest giving her a call. She's a very smart, sweet and easy to talk to woman. read more

Dr. Chen is a life changer! Her office is in a little strip mall in Granada Hills. I've lived here for 17 years and have only started to see her for the last 3 years; guess I was judging a book by its cover. Please don't expect to walk in and see a fancy setup, this is not what her practice is about. I have suffered from chronic headaches and tension pain on my shoulder neck area. The pain is gone so I only need to go in every couple of months to maintain a pain free life. I'm on a tight budget and am so grateful that her prices so reasonable. Thank you Dr. Chen for your healing hands. read more

Dr. Chen is a true pro who went through the rigorous education and training in China. She knows her stuff and doesn't rip you off like many other herbal doctors do. I have been her patient for years and she has been always there to restore my health with her skills, wisdom and love. In the past, I had eczema, miserably hurt myself by falling the stairs at work, had flu, bad headaches, etc. and Dr.Chen has been my go-to person to fix me! And most of all, she is such a kind, loving person. What would I do without her?!?! read more

Will recommend this place. I went to a different acupuncture place and nothing to compare. Dr Chen helped me and I referred her to my friends and everyone was ally with her too. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Chen, she is professional and is truly there for the patient. I was working a highly stressful job and had tension in my shoulders and upper back from the stress. Massages seemed to only help for a few days before my shoulders would once again tense up. So I did a little research and found Dr. Chen. She has over 25 years experience in both China and in the U.S., so I thought I would give it a shot. I was a little hesitant because I thought the needles might be a little painful, but you don't even feel them. After about 3-4 weeks of sessions, I started to notice a big difference and knew then I had made the right decision. One visit I had walked in with shorts and Dr. Chen noticed my legs had spots similar to dark freckles. I had told her I went to a dermatologist and I was advised it was Iron deposits from standing and sitting long hours from both of my jobs. The dermatologist said there wasn't much they can do besides give me some cream and hopefully they would go away. Dr. Chen disagreed and said it was from bad circulation. A couple months later the spots are slowly disappearing. Its VERY hard to find a Dr. that listens to their patient's, Dr Chen is truly a blessing to this profession and I always look forward to my visits there. They also have Chinese herbal medicine that can be taken for certain ailments along with the treatments. I have recommended a couple of my co-workers and they are highly satisfied with her. They do take insurance and are also open on Saturday's. read more

Dr. Chen has helped me out in a big way. She will fit you in if there is an immediate need and she is very interested and listens well.

I've been going in for Acupuncture on and off for approximately 35 years and there is a big difference between practitioners. I started going in to see Dr. Shanna Chen 3 years ago and gladly give her an A+ rating. She's very knowledgeable about both Acupuncture and herbs. Additionally, the treatments and herbal pricing are very reasonable. The office has a very comfortable, welcoming atmosphere and her employees have been with her for many years. Most of them are very friendly. I've been treated by her for several things. I had a bad motorcycle accident when I was 22 but was unwilling to have some recommended surgeries and have reoccurring knee, ankle and shoulder problems. An occasional round of treatments keeps this under control. Additionally, I've had psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for 24 years. I'm taking some herbs she has me on and for the first time my psoriasis is starting to clear up without the use of immune suppressants, which all have very serious side effects. read more

It was my first time going to acupuncture so I was a bit nervous. I was already uncomfortable due to the pain having Dx: Bells Palsy a 3 days ago. Shanna Chen was cordial and explained what to expect, her english is a bit hard to understand but she spoke slowly. The treatment lasted apx 20 minutes, the room setting could have been decorated with warm colors, bright lights should have been dimmed, as I laid on the bed, my ailment made me sensitive to light. Perhaps candles or even soft music to get you to relax. Shanna Chen's insertion of the needles was painless except for one that hit a nerve so she pulled it out when I winced & felt throbbing. I gave them 3 stars, her chinese assistant (short hair with glasses) removed the needles which she was a bit aggressive, I think she was in a hurry not even smiling and asked how I was feeling. She pulled a bit hard and I had tiny bleeding on my face and on my hand. Once I was ready to leave, I put on my hat and I poked my finger with a needle, she forgot to take one needle out of my head! ! I got bruised and needle bleeding from my face and hand. I think Shanna Chen was a nice lady but the overall experience I received as a first time patient in her office was far short of what the other reviews I read. I'll continue going to a different acupuncture and compare. read more

I travel from Thousand Oaks to get monthly treatments from Doctor Chen. She keeps the chi flowing strong and the treatments mitigate chronic pain issues. My wife, step daughter and a number of martial arts associates all give two thumbs up as does my mom born 1922. Doctor Chen is old school from China. Her Chi is very powerful and her demeanor is very soft and caring. read more
