Patient	Comments
Evan T. 15 years old strep throat	““I caught this at school, feeling very bad with fever and painfully sore throat. Dr. Chen took a look at me and shined a flashlight into my mouth to see white dots in the back. I was afraid to try acupuncture, but he showed me the needles said they don’t hurt. I let him treat me, two needles put on my throat and a few other places. It didn’t hurt at all. He gave me some herb pills a day later I felt great. I only missed one day of school when most of the other kids missed almost a week.””
Irmgard M. 64 years old severe headaches, back and muscle pain, dislocation of right wrist	“I had tried chiropractic, heat treatments, ice packs, massage, stretching, exercise, cortisone shots and nerve therapy before I saw Dr. Chen. He is performing acupuncture and manipulation and I feel improvement in my overall condition. He helped me very much and I highly recommend him.”
Patricia S. 29 years old, had Bell's palsy for two weeks	“I had Bell's palsy. I was treated with western medicine such as Steroids and Antivirals for two weeks, but none of my symptoms of Bell’s palsy went away. So I decided to start acupuncture treatments with Dr. Chen. Two weeks into the treatment, I felt better! After four weeks, my face was completely back to normal. Thank you so much, Dr. Chen! ”
Christine T. 55 years old Frozen Shoulder	“I could barely raise my arm without shoulder pain. It even started affecting my sleep, not being able to sleep on my left side. After just the first treatment, I started feeling better. I was able to move my arm more and more. After about six treatments, I was about 90% better. I continue to receive bi-weekly treatments and am about 98% better. I have no shoulder pain and am working on restoring full mobility.”
Michael T. 55 years old 2 Bulging Lumbar Discs Chronic, for over 30 years	“This condition was causing low back and leg pain, muscle spasms and inability to stand straight up. Over the years, I tried diet, exercise and 2 steroid injections with marginal results. Dr. Chen used TuiNa (massage), acupuncture, heat and traction therapies to get me out of pain and into good balance. I saw him twice a week and noticed improvement in three weeks. By six weeks the pain was greatly reduced. I now see Dr. Chen every three weeks for massage, acupuncture and heat therapy to maintain a pain-free back. Thank you Dr. Chen!”
Thomas R. 55 years old, foot pain for one year	“Believe it or not! Yes I\'m a believer. After a year with dealing with various foot pain I have sought help from a meriad of Health Care professionals. However, no method of treatment was successful. Then, after a referral from Larry B. Love (via the Good Samaritan Health and Wellness Center) I went to see Dr. Chen. After only 2 visits I have seen considerable results that have relieved my condition of plantar fascitis and arthritic pain in my feet. I would recommend Dr. Chen to anyone who wants to see pain free results. Sincerely, ”

Gale D, had plantar fasciitis for over one year	“Dr. Chen has been tremendously helpful with a plantar fasciitis problem I had been having for over a year. I had gone to 3 or 4 other practitioners during that time and, using acupuncture, Dr. Chen has been the only one to fix the problem. I am grateful to now be able to get out of bed or get up from sitting and be virtually pain free! His Chinese herbs and acupuncture have also been helping lower my blood sugar so I can avoid taking medicine for diabetes...Dr. Chen is a miracle man!”
Barbara S	“No other Chinese doc like Leon Chen. He knows both conventional and traditional Chinese medicine so he can diagnose using both knowledge bases yet treat holistically. An amazing combo and a great guy. One of the few around who can tell you exactly where it hurts the most and precisely how many treatments it will take to fix it.”
Angelo P, had low back pain for months	“ I had an excellent result with Dr. Chen. My experience is probably like many others.

Treatment for Osteoporosis

55 year old female, 120 pounds, 5’7” Patient fractured distal radius (wrist) after falling on the ice in January, 2004. With herb soaks and Tui Na treatment, patient was weight bearing with full range of motion (ROM) five weeks after first visit with Dr. Chen. Patient fractured knee cap (patella) in April, 2004, resulting in surgical insertion of three pins (internal fixation) with subsequent removal of two pins. With input from physical therapists, daily yoga practice, herb soaks, acupuncture and months of rehabilitation, patient healed from surgery and has gained 95% functionality from the joint with ROM over 165 degrees, well beyond what was deemed possible. Radiology reports from both injuries indicated that they were not caused by lack of bone density, but were impact fractures. Patient had her fifth bone density scan in July, 2005 which indicated that she had osteoporosis in the lumbar spine. Beginning in July, 2004, Dr. Chen began twice weekly acupuncture and daily herb treatment to strengthen bone density. He advised patient to eat three protein-rich meals a day, take multiple vitamins including 1000 mg. calcium, exercise daily using weights, bicycle and walking to build muscle strength. The stages of treatment were as follows: July-September, Acupuncture points and herbs used to address Qi deficiency and strengthen kidney channel using Gui Pi Wan herbs September-December, strengthen spleen channel to create new energy and move blood, lymph, and other fluids to nourish organs using acupuncture and Chong Rong Bu Shen Wan herbs December-February, augment bone cells with special formula Zenggu Wan 1 for which Dr. Chen holds a patent in China.
