I came to Dr. Linda Peng’s Acupuncture clinic specifically for treatment of migraines, associated difficulties with sleeping — lots of dreams leaving me very tired in the mornings, and digestion problems. While I had heard of Acupuncture, I had never considered trying it. I decided to try it after talking to my Dad who had used acupuncture to help with a back problem he had and that it had helped him a lot. I have been treated for migraines for about 8 years and while I have medications to treat the migraine attack, I haven’t been successful in the prevention of migraines. After a discussion of my prior medical history and current medicines I was taking, Rx and over-the counter, Dr Peng discussed with me how acupuncture worked and also started me on a herbal medicine program. Initially, my treatments were twice weekly for a month, but I now go once weekly. I have been seeing Dr. Peng for two months. I have found the treatments to be relaxing and Dr. Peng’s manner to be sensitive. For the most part, the treatments are not painful other than slight sensation when the needles enter the skin. Dr. Peng is careful to monitor the electric stimulation of the needles so that she is able to avoid pain if the stimulation is too high. The massages that are included in the treatment are very helpful with stress reduction. Generally, when I leave the sessions, I am very calm and relaxed. So far, I have improved my sleeping and I am not as tired in the morning as I have been I have been successful in reducing my migraines from 10-15 months to about 4-6 months.I would and have recommended this treatment to others.

The nature of my condition was that I felt very tired all the time, and it was affecting my school work and social activities. It affected my family primarily because I was never able to function properly at home. Another condition I experienced was a lot of stress due to the amount of school work I received and, therefore, I became very tense. For a period of time I had a high degree of unhappiness most of the time. I was never happy at home, and I couldn’t explain why. There was no definite reason to this state of unhappiness either. My western doctor led me to try Traditional Chinese Medicine. I went to the western doctor initially with my fatigue condition because it was beginning to interfere with my schoolwork. I was checked for anemia as well as all other types of blood problems such as diabetes; however, each test came out negative to any kind of medical problem. My western doctor recommended trying acupuncture. She did not go into a lot of detail on how acupuncture or herbal medicine worked, but I already knew. My experience in receiving the treatment from Dr. Peng was phenomenal. I had never experienced anything like it. The first time I went, I was very apprehensive and tense about the procedure. I went into the clinic thinking it was going to feel like multiple shots over my body, but it wasn’t like that. For someone who can’t stand shots, I was very calm and soothed by the tiny needles. Dr. Linda seemed to know exactly what she was doing from the very start. I had gone to a different acupuncture doctor a week prior to starting Dr. Linda’s treatment, but I felt uneasy with that doctor’s method of treatment, the treatment was rushed and without ease and there was little explanation. Soon after as I experience my first treatment of acupuncture by Dr. Linda, I was so thrilled and could see a dramatic comparison between her and the doctor I had gone to before. Dr. Linda proved to be a much better doctor and friend. As I continuously went for treatments, I noticed it to be less painful each time and more relaxing. She talks to her patients, which is really important because it gains the patient’s trust. Her massages were also very, very good and relaxing. It felt so good and eased every muscle in my body. The condition definitely improved. I could see results appearing within the first session. It was remarkable and fantastic. My mom was very happy and said I had become the same happy daughter she knew before. I would most certainly recommend this type of treatment to others because it is like no other. Western medical doctors can prescribe antibiotics and perform surgeries, but Chinese medicine seems to make the entire person feel relaxed and at ease.

I am a 2x breast cancer survivor, and underwent 10 months of chemotherapy. The treatment caused bone loss and resulted in an early menopause. As a side effect I have developed oesteoarthritis. My husband had bone cancer, and felt relief only from acupuncture, which was recommended by his doctors. He also took herbal medicine for strength throughout his battle. His experience convinced me that alternative medicine and acupuncture for pain is very successful.Dr. Peng’s treatment has been painless with a few tiny needles placed inside my ear. There have been no side effects only a small sensation of pressure. This treatment has given me almost complete relief. I danced around the house with my 5-year grandchild and felt fine.You have been very caring and have listened carefully to my health needs. I highly recommend your services to other cancer patients and anyone who needs pain relief.Thank you, we need more doctors like you who care about their patients.
