 Patient Stories
At our clinic, we have had numerous success stories. Read the
stories and testimonials of some of our satisfied patients.
They help reassure that our treatments are effective and
that we do get results.
I am writing to tell you the
impact that TCM and Dr. Zhuo have had on me. I came to Dr.
Zhuo originally for infertility problems. My husband and
I had tried for two years to get pregnant with no results.
We even tried artificial insemination. I had had some prior
surgery and perhaps some scarring, but with herbs and acupuncture
was able to conceive my daughter. A few years later we thought
we would like to try again. By taking herbs and having acupuncture
regularly, we got pregnant twice in one year, but both pregnancies
unfortunately ended in a miscarriage. A year went by and
we decided to start trying again. Well, we hit the jackpot
with TWINS! No outside help either! JUST acupuncture and
Chinese herbs.
I also feel like I have someone on my side that I can tell
even the smallest complaint to. Dr. Zhuo has treated me for
everything from a tired voice (I am a singer) to colds, to
aches, to digestive woes and even stress. I feel much more
in balance after my visits. I think this contributes to continued
health. I refer others to her all the time.

Dr. Zhuo has helped me in so
many ways. I come in for one or two issues (weight & fertility),
and she has simultaneously helped with these and so many
more, including: colds & flu, an injured rotator cuff,
and with carpal tunnel. Dr. Zhuo has a special way of talking
with me as a person - not as a patient that she squeezed
into a 7-minute time slot. Her knowledge about Eastern and
Western medicine has guided and helped my husband and I make
many decisions in our lives. I have recommended her to family
and friends-and I recommend her to you too!
Mary.
After being diagnosed as PCOS
and 4 failed cycles of hormone stimulated IUI, Mary wanted
to take a break. My treatments for her focused on improving
general health and regulating the menstrual cycle, instead
of supporting ART. A couple months later, Mary got pregnant
naturally and now she is in her 4th month of healthy pregnancy.

I was married for over three
years and had tried to get pregnant in the past two years
without a success result. That was including a miscarriage
I had in early 2004. Each month when I had my cycle, it had
been very long and frustrating. I knew that it was going
to be very difficult for me to get pregnant again without
help. Finally, I went to a website to read more on Chinese
Medicine, especially about Acupuncture (a so-called Natural
Medicine). I then surfed on the web for a Chinese Acupuncture
clinic, and I found the Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
Centers website which is operated by Eileen Y. Zhuo. I was
so glad that I found her to give me infertility treatment.
It was so amazing that I was able to conceive after only
a few weekly visits. Then I decided to get acupuncture during
the whole pregnancy until my due date to help me get through
morning sickness and strengthen my immune system, I had great
energy and was very healthy.
I feel that Eileen Zhuo has given me a professional and personalized
service that I could not find from any other place. She is
highly knowledgeable in her field.

When Sarah first consulted me,
it was just a few days before her 43rd birthday. She had
undergone 3 hormonally stimulated IUI, with one resulting
in a pregnancy that ended with miscarriage. Her reproductive
specialist suggested that she use a donor eggs for IVF due
to poor response in prior stimulated IUI cycles and her age,
but Sarah wanted to try acupuncture first.
During our first
consultation, I asked her many questions concerning her general
health, diet, emotions, menstruation, and hormones. I then
performed TCM pulse and tongue diagnosis. After I had assessed
Sarah’s condition, I found that she was pretty healthy
and balanced in terms of TCM. I explained to her that TCM
works though enhancing the energy of the kidney, liver, and
spleen to improve reproductive functions. Sarah started weekly
acupuncture and Chinese herbs right after first visit. Four
months later, Sarah became pregnant naturally and gave birth
to her beautiful daughter two months before her 44th birthday.

Dr. Zhuo,
Thank you for the treatment you provided us to help with our
infertility. After 5 years of trying to start our family,
we were blessed with a triplet pregnancy. Our babies were
born at 33 weeks gestation.
Lori.
Lori came to my clinic after 3 years of back-to-back
IVF cycles. She was 29 years old and diagnosed with a male factor of infertility.
She went to numerous infertility specialists and clinics and had many tests
done, including laproscopy, hystoscopy & endometrial biopsy, on which everything
appeared normal. Lori had 3 fresh full IVF, 2 cancelled hyperstimulation cycles,
and 2 frozen embryo transfers. She had also had 2 pregnancies, both of which
stopped growing at yoke sac with no fetal development.
When Lori came to see
me at her first visit, she came fully prepared with her infertility treatment
summary sheet. She told me she was taking birth control pills for her scheduled
4th fresh IVF, but she was unsure of the outcome. I reviewed her treatment
history of producing too many poor eggs (last cycle with 46 eggs retrieved)
and too few good ones (normally fertilized rate lower than 40%) and convinced
her to take 3-6 months of acupuncture and herbal treatment before her next
IVF. After 4 months of weekly treatment, Lori started her 4th IVF. She continued
acupuncture during this IVF cycle. After her egg retrieval, her specialist
told her that this had been her best cycle ever. This time her hormone level
was normal and more than 50% of the eggs were normally fertilized and she got
pregnant!

Dear Eileen,
I just wanted to share my good news with you. I’m
pregnant with twins! I’m 9 weeks along, and I had an
ultrasound last week, and so far everything looks normal.
I just wanted to thank you for all your support during my fertility
treatments, and I feel that the acupuncture and herbs you gave
me directly contributed to my success in getting pregnant.

Dear Dr. Zhuo:
Thank you for helping me avoid a third back surgery. The acupuncture
treatments have significantly reduced the back pain and
increased the quality of my life.
I have suffered back pain for over 30 years. I have had two
surgeries, traction, medication, epidurals, chiropractic care
and anything else that I could think of to reduce the pain.
The scheduled third surgery was going to be a fusion of three
vertebrae and there was a very good chance that my pain would
not be reduced at all.
I was very reluctant to try acupuncture because of my dislike
of needles. So my wife made the appointment for me. The treatments
are painless; in fact, I actually get a pretty good sleep every
time I go. All of these tiny needles are new so that also took
care of another concern.
I have been taking the treatments for almost two years. Due
to the severity of my pain, initially I was taking treatments
three times a week. That lasted for about a month, and I gradually
was able to reduce the treatments to once every three weeks.
My goal is go once a month.
The most comforting aspect of working with you is your credentials
as a Chinese medical doctor who has had extensive training
in acupuncture. I was comfortable with the treatments from
the first time we meet.
Again, thanks for all your help. I really don’t know
what I would have done without your help.
Ed.
