Chen Acupuncture & Acupressure

I seek the help of acupuncturist Wei Chen for inflammation of my left thumb tendon sheath in the wake of many unsuccessful attempts by other medical providers who prescribed only painkillers to relieve my thumb pain. In the beginning I really have doubt in acupuncture and its effectiveness in treating my medical conditions as no medications/injections of any kind involved. Even though my employer's L & I program declined to pay for my medical bills for acupuncture, I'm still going to see him for treatment of my condition as it definitely helps my swollen and painful thumb heal gradually in a natural way without using medications. Mr. Wei Chen is a rare kind of health care provider, who cares very much about the well-being and complete recovery of his patients rather than the billing charges. With his compassionate care, patience, professionalism and his eagerness to help, I'm almost fully recovered from inflammation of thumb tendon sheath, thank you so much! Pros: Dr. Chen cares about his patients Cons: None so far more

My knee has been swelling and painful. Walking was not easy anymore, and it's been almost a year. Tried many different doctors, treatment and presciption. Nothing really worked out. Until a friend referred me to Dr Chen. After just 2 visits, the swelling has reduced significantly and the pain is fading out. I can't express enough how it feels to be able to walk without feeling the pain again. THANK YOU! Besides helping with my knee, Dr. Chen is very friendly and the willingness to explain to me about the cause and showing me what needs to be done in order to prevent in happening again. I am glad that I have found Dr Chen! Pros: knowledgable, informative, patient Cons: didn't find any more

I severely sprained my knee on January this year and got into ER the same day. After two days of medication I still couldn't flex my knee, I couldn't walk, wear shoes and even couldn't take shower and go toilet myself. A friend of mine recommended me Dr. Chen so I went there and gave it a try. Dr. Chen is a really nice guy. He briefly explained to me that which part of tendon and muscle were sprained and caused the pain and how the treatment could be done to heal my pain. At first I was quite scare about the needle, Dr. Chen massage my leg to help me relax my muscle. The whole treatment was kind of painful but it was so effective that I could almost walk normally after just 2 treatments! After the fifth treatment my knee injury was totally recovered, I can walk, run, jump and play basketball now. It is so amazing that Dr. Chen could get my knee heal in less than 3 weeks. Thank you Dr. Chen, you are the best!! Pros: extremely professional and kindness more

I injured my left shoulder last summer in June 2009 and took no action expecting that less activity and less stress on the shoulder would allow recovery. This was incorrect assumption. After 2-3 months, there was no improvement . The motions had been very painful when the injured first occurred were still very painful after 2-3 months of resting my shoulder. In September, I began receiving treatment from Dr. Chen, the massage treatment was painful but I could see the improvement in my condition in a short time. After about 3 months of treatment every 1-2 weeks, I found my range of motion was almost back to normal. The strength of my left shoulder was still less than before, but the pain that I had previously was almost gone and I was gradually returning to the activities that I like to do such as skiing, paddling a kayak and so forth. Thank you so much, Dr. Chen!! more

I have struggled with neck issues for a few years (resulting from a fall down a set of stairs). I have tried a number of things, including physical therapy, with no success. Dr. Chen is simply amazing. Every time the pain flares up, I go straight to Dr. Chen and he fixes me. It rarely flares up anymore, but when it does he is my go-to. Just today, the neck pain flared up (for the first time in almost a year). I had my fiancé call Dr. Chen to schedule an appointment. As soon as Dr. Chen heard I was in a lot of pain, he volunteered to drive to his office and see me today (on a Sunday when is his office is closed)!! I can’t express how amazing Dr. Chen is. I would HIGHLY recommend him. Pros: Makes the pain go away! Cons: None more
