My journey with chronic pain and migraine happened suddenly two years ago on Christmas Eve…read more Overnight the left side of my jaw swelled and began producing an incredible amount of burning consistent pain radiating up my head and through my ear which would eventually spread to my whole face. Soon other symptoms of diziness, blurry vision, and horrible pain in my neck flooded in. The daily pain was unbearable and after seeing countless physicians of all specialties, no one could provide a clear diagnosis or cause. I was treated with a myriad of prescription drugs and otc painkillers for all the symptoms which would soon result in an intense and consistent migraine preventing me from taking part in the most basic daily activities. When I found myself on Dr. Gong's doorstep I was depleted of energy and most of my hope that my life would ever return to what it once was. Like many, I felt I was at the edge of a dark abyss filled with life-long heavy medications and their crippling side effects. For context, I am a 25-year-old former collegiate athlete and had led a very active life until my condition. What would happen next saved my life. In a matter of weeks and now months my migraine subsided to a rare headache, all other symptoms have reduced to near nonexistnace. Dr. Gong was able to understand my condition as a whole whereas western specialists only study one piece. She was then able to treat the source of my problem as opposed to medicating sympotmatically. As I write this I still sit in utter disbelif and immense gratitude. Dr. Gong has not only treated my physical ailments, but has counseled me and led me to a deeper understanding of what a large role our mindset plays in our health. Through my treatment I have been able to take what could be filed under " most horrible experience of my life," and instead learned and grown and hopefully can help someone with similar ailments to find relief. To recommend Dr. Gong is a gross understatement. Her care for her patients as people is unlike anything I have experienced before. She provides them with steadfast confidence and comfort that a solution will always be possible. In no uncertain terms, thank you Dr. Gong for your daily pursuit of helping others!

I was going to this practice for almost 8 months on a weekly basis. Dr. Zhong is very knowledgeable…read moreand have accommodating hours, especially if you work an 8-5 job Mon - Fri. They have Saturday clinic hours. Just as a heads up, they are very busy on Saturdays and the walls are thin, so you may hear the conversations in the hallways. The acupuncture beds are not the most comfortable. Due to the number of clients that they see on Saturdays, sometimes it feels a little rushed compared to the other 2 acupuncture places I've tried. At each visit, the practitioner will listen to your pulse and check your tongue. They will place fine needles throughout your body's meridians for about 20 minutes. At the end of your session, they will prescribe herbal teas and/or supplements. They informed me that they do not take insurance....although Aetna lists them as in network. They do give you a superbill if you want to submit a claim to your insurance. The out of pocket charge each visit was $105 (on the more expensive side in Houston). They usually recommend herbs on top of that so, expect to spend another $40 - $60 for a week's worth of herbal teas. FYI, the prices on the initial consultation has increased so expect to pay $130+ for that. I didn't have success with my primary treatment, but I had secondary benefits like sleeping better and less stress.

I called the clinic where Dr. Hayley Nguyen practices, explained our situation, and the staff kindly told us to come in and that Dr. Nguyen would see her. From the moment we arrived, Dr. Nguyen and her staff were very professional, friendly, and caring. Dr. Nguyen knew that we were from out of town and even took the time to recommend several restaurants for us to try while we were in Houston. That personal touch meant a lot to us during a stressful time. We are very thankful for the care and kindness we received.

I made an appointment in June or July in preparation for another colonoscopy this year. The earliest date available was the end of August. Less than 48 hours before my appointment I received a phone call from someone that said they were having trouble verifying my insurance. My insurance hasn't changed. However, she then told me that the practice no longer accepts Medicare. I don't know if it was my Medicare plan or all Medicare plans. She didn't offer any further explanation, just told me that I couldn't see the doctor. I asked about paying out of pocket, and she just said, 'No'. The doctor is great! I know she's been with this practice for a long time. In my case they had all of my insurance information since the last colonoscopy, nothing had changed. I received no less than five robocalls informing me that I was due for a colon screening this year. If they were no longer accepting my insurance plan, I should not have been able to even schedule an appointment. The only contact I should have received was an alert informing me that my insurance was no longer being accepted by the practice. Now I'm left to 'shop' for a gastro-doc. Not happy.

Comparing to the other center on I10 (which I felt that I almost waisted 8 sessions of my physical therapy there), this place was much well equipped regarding my Neck issues with really professional Personal Trainers! I worked with 3 PTs and I enjoyed working with every single one of them! I mostly worked with Rico who first sat down and went through my Medical History thoroughly and was very knowledgeable! Rico knew exactly how to work with my dislocated Neck Disk! His Neck massages was extremely efficient with an absolute right touch also I found his tips and tricks on positioning my Neck very helpful! Blake was also such an attentive PT, standing by my side making sure my positions were correct at all times!

I honestly believe that Jessica's only goal in life is to make everyone as comfortable as possible & she is VERY good at that. She absolutely sets the tone for what your experience will be like. By the time you meet your physical therapist, your mind is clear... You are alert... And you are ready to get better. And I can promise you that they will make every effort to insure that you are feeling so much better when you leave, than when you arrived. It's what they do & they are VERY good at it. Amber, Rico & Blake offer the perfect combination of professionalism & compassion. And they each bring years of experience to the table. I could actually write 200 pages on how awesome they are. They are outstanding on so many levels. By the way, while you're visiting the facility, if you happen to see a wonderful, happy, energetic ball of sunshine running around, that would be Evelyn. She brings the much needed joy that this world needs. I've been to other physical therapy facilities. None of them can come close to what John West offers. Do yourself a favor and give them a try. They are the best and that's what everyone deserves.

EXCELLENT GROUP!…read more After a major accident, Doctor Vandadia operated on my very dear friend (who could not walk) to fix his hip. The outcome resulted in far greater success than anticipated. My friend now walks normally! Since that time, my daughter (who is not a patient) has experienced orthopedic issues of her own. My friend sent Dr. V an image of my daughter's MRI results to ask his opinion. Dr. V actually reviewed the MRI and gave his prognosis and recommendation. WHAT DOCTOR DOES THAT? He gained a few patients forever. I highly recommend this group of doctors. Especially Dr. V.

Dr. Vansadia helped my mom who has bone on bone issues with a knee she is in her 90's and the…read moremedical community will not replace her knee. That being said Dr. Vansadia started injecting a jell into her knee which gave her about 4 months of relief but she had to wait 2 months with a lot of knee pain before getting another injection. He did this a number of times every time before he injected the jell he would draw water off of her knee. Then one time he did not draw the water off of her knee and injected the jell and she had no pain for 1 day say 36 hours total. Then her knee pain returned completely on the second day. I took her back and when I questioned Vansadia about why he didn't draw the water off of her knee the told me that "the water did not have to be removed". Immediately I knew this was not factual. Think about it if you make jello and you add to much water the jello will not set up correctly. Duh!!! So he put her on cortisone shots which did help again for about 4 months. I think the first two or three times the injection helped then one injection didn't seem to help and his office said it could take up to a month to get the whole effect of the cortisone which is strange typically within 2-3 days her pain would be gone. That injection did not help her!! Maybe the injection misplace, well no matter another 4 months of pain for my mom every time she took a step. Vansadia just told her she had to wait. This was his fault he did the injection and he just brushed it off and really did not seem to give two shits about my mom's pain. He gave her some pills that didn't help the pain. what helps with bone on bone well it's not pharmaceuticals. To me Vansadia is about his $$$ and not as much about actual patient care. I could be wrong but this is my opinion on how my mom was treated. I have taken her to Methodist Orthopedics they will help her so that she doesn't have pain two out of six months till she could get another injection. Plus the way Methodist administer the injections is completely different very innovative and very well done. Her knee doesn't hurt after a proper injection. Methodist truly leads medicine and some people seem to want their paycheck. I think Vansadia may have good bedside manner but I would definitely question his knowledge of the proper way to administer the products that he prescribes. Because the new Orthopedic Dr. explained that not taking the water off of the knee is not the proper way that the jell should have been administered because the jell will not set up properly when water is not removed at the injection site. INOV8 is a cute name but I am not sure what is innovative with their procedures to me it was antiquated now that mom has been to someone that is truly inov8tive and that is Methodist Orthopedics!!!!!
