Report
I was pleased with the entire experience. From the front office staff, to Dr. Hou's assistant and Dr Hou herself, it was fantastic. Dr. Hou was kind and very informative as I asked tons of questions. She was also very gentle and concerned about my comfort. In the end, she was able to fix what my problem was and while did I limp in, I walked out. I feel 100% better and thoroughly recommend Dr. Hou to anyone seeking pain relief and a fresh perspective on health care. Excellence on every level.

Report
After years of having respiratory and sinus issues, a friend recommended that I try acupuncture, so we found Dr. Hou. I had some hesitation at first, since this was new to me, but after many
unsuccessful traditional treatments, I though I would try something different out of desperation. I met with Dr. Hou and we talked about my diet, my history and the many meds that I had been on. After the first treatment of acupuncture and cupping, the effects were immediate. I slept through the night for the first time in several years and with with continued treatments I have been able to get off my nebulizer

Dr. Hou has helped me with my seasonal allergies for two years now and I have seen a dramatic improvement from any Western remedies I have tried. I would highly reccomend MD Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine for their patient-centered style of holistic care!

Fantastic doctor that is very experienced in her practice and what she does. I have had success with acupuncture in the past but nothing like the service that is provided here. She addressed an issue that I had with my sinus that had been bothering me for the last 10+ years and that even surgery did not fix. Give this practice a try and listen to the advice given here!
