My little one dislocated her arm at home and cried for half an hour. We rushed over to see Dr. Zhang, and she is amazing!!! She gently examined the arm and fixed it in one second, like magic! I’m so glad we didn’t go to the ER. We would probably still be waiting in line right now. Dr. Zhang is incredibly professional, fast, and gentle. A real lifesaver and a true angel! Thank you so much, Dr. Zhang! Highly recommend! 🙏💯
Dr. Zhang is truly amazing! I have been seeing her for years, but her help became indispensable after my baby was born. I recently developed severe wrist and back pain from the physical demands of motherhood, and holding my baby became exhausting. Thanks to Dr. Zhang’s treatments, the pain has been relieved, and I am finally able to hold and cuddle my baby for much longer. I’m so grateful for her care!
Ava is the best doctor that I found who cured my 8 month lasting chronic back pain! She really made a difference on my health and work, and lifted a long lasting cloud over my life this year. My back pain started this year in Feb -- it bursted after a two weeks sprint session at work, which caused temporary exhaustion and emotional burnout. At its peak, I can only work while half lying on the bed. After some rest, this situation got better but transitioned into a chronic situation: it got worse periodically with my cycle and work load. Occasionally I found my self have trouble falling to sleep or sitting more than 5 minutes. I started the journey to seek for a cure on this. Over 8 months, I have tried physical therapy, sports medicine, chiropractors. None really worked. The pain comes and goes, and it doesn't really correlate to anything. In October, after coming back from a two week trip, the pain got much worse and complexed with a short-term knee injury that my whole left leg become stiff and I couldn't fall into sleep properly at night. My colleague introduced me to Ava's clinic, and urged me to have a try. Growing up, I'm quite skeptical on Chinese medicine, and had always think acupuncture is a hoax. This is also a reason I never bothered to try this. But my experience with Ava has really changed this impression. Over the next two months, acupuncture + massaging visibly took the pain away. There were a few moments when I come out of the clinic and walking in the parking lot, I thought my left leg never felt lighter in the past months. I can sit for hours to work, can stand with strength, can sleep with no issues and lie my body in any side I want. I also got to explore and learn about acupuncture and massaging -- how they interact with human nerve system and muscles and deepened my understanding of my body. Ava is a good doctor as she knows where to put the needle and is extremely experienced with it. Her treatment doesn't stop at merely skin surface, but most often goes to the root cause muscle and tendons. Electroacupuncture with ultra-red lights delivers the stimulation to relax the muscle and Doctor Li and Daniel's massaging helped relieved the accumulated inflammation deep in tendons. This is also why exercise was not able to help me at the beginning, because muscles were so stiff and couldn't get relaxed. Back in my 20s, I never thought I would be so thankful for such little and basic things like sleeping without back support. But this is how life progresses. When I couldn't find the solution to mitigate the chronic back pain this year, it casted clouds in my thoughts and projected depression on how one ages. Such disease is not fatal, but it sucks up daily passion to life and work. So thank you Ava, for curing my pain, and reignite my passion towards life and a path of growing older healthily.
To be brief, I highly recommend this sports acupuncture service. I broke my ankle during badminton training. I got the first service right after the injury. I can then went back to court after 5 days which I was expecting 2 weeks or so. It did fasten the heal and you just pay for your valuable time. Again, it does not hurt to try!
We brought our child in because her knee made a popping sound whenever she squatted down. Dr. Ava was incredibly professional and attentive—she quickly identified the issue and provided an effective solution on the spot. The entire visit was thorough, efficient, and reassuring. Highly recommend!
