Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This ancient practice effectively addresses chronic pain, migraines, stress-related conditions, and various internal disorders. Patients benefit from improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and restored energy flow through personalized treatment plans developed by our experienced practitioner.
Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations combine traditional Chinese medicine principles with modern quality standards. These natural remedies support treatment for digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, respiratory conditions, and chronic disease management. Each prescription is tailored to individual needs, using premium ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers for optimal efficacy.
Neurofeedback Therapy
EEG neurofeedback helps regulate brain activity for improved mental health and cognitive function. This non-invasive treatment addresses ADHD, anxiety, depression, and post-stroke recovery through real-time brainwave monitoring and targeted feedback. Patients develop self-regulation skills that lead to lasting improvements in focus, mood stability, and overall neurological health.

Effective treatments target conditions like sciatica, frozen shoulder, and sports injuries through comprehensive protocols that reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and restore functional capacity without reliance on pharmaceutical interventions.

Report
I knew Doctor Lei for several years and I am glad she still provides services during Covid-19. Recently my son, my mother and I got a bad cold. I kept coughing for more than one week. We went to see Doctor Lei, took the medicine she gave us and recovered within several days! I will recommend seeing Doctor Lei if any symptoms similar to Covid.

I called them to set an appointment
They asked me to transfer $150 in advance before I come, i offered to pay when I come with cash or credit, but they refused and cancel my appointment
Not the behavior you expect from a service provider
