Dear Dr. Lai
I just also wanted to tell you, that I sensed there was a difference in your treatment from the beginning when you placed the first few needles. My experience with the previous Doctors of Oriental Medicine, and L.Ac has been very different. I believe they are afraid of hurting or frightening the Western people with the power of acupuncture. My experience has been they are very gentle, lacking the confidence I immediately felt you had in placing the needles. Also, except for 1 out of 6 of the past doctors I have seen for acupuncture, they have not tuned or twirled the needles as you do. I felt the Chi. My body has been humming with Chi since the treatment and haonly improved. And beside my energy improvement, I am not having any pain. I am going to try to convince my son to see you for his wrists. (I think it is Carpal Tunnel) He works in IT with computers all day.
Thank you again very much! I will be back to see you when I need to and can!
Sincerely yours,
Julie Ellis
Dr Cicy Lai
On February 28, 2005, I became a patient of your medical services. Therse medical services have included the use of acupuncture and massage (usually twice a week), weekly participation in a Tai Chi excrcise class, and a DNA screening analysis to prescribe the particular herbal and nutritional supplements for my personal benefit.
At the time I became a patient of yours, I was struggling with high blood pressure even with the use of prescription drugs, and had to use two canes to stand upright and walk. When I stood up I had to cling to sturdy objects to remain standing and I shuffled my feet when I walked. When I attended my first Tai Chi Class I had to remain seated all of the time.
My physical condition has improved drastically. At age 91, while I still use certain prescription drugs, my blood pressure is in a normal range and I no longer use canes while walking around my home. I only use canes as support when I am changing elevations (like stepping down a curb). I carry the canes with me when I am walking as a security measure in the event of an emergency. I now stand upright when attending the TaiChi Class.
The drastic improvment in my physical condition is certainly due in part to your medical services in the areas of lowering my blood pressure and gaining stability in standing and walking. If I were to pinpoint the major reason for your help in my recovery it would be because you are "patient-oriented". This is very obvious in the manner in which you have been treating my situation. It also is apparent in the way your office operates.
But being patient-Oriented is not sufficient. You also deliver your medical services with much skill and knowledge. The combination of these two attributes is what makes you so effective. Thank you very much.

I sincerely believe that Dr. Cicy Lai has saved my life, that is whatever portion of it that remains. At least she gave me the ability to enjoy a few more years of healthy life when it appeared, about two years ago, that I was rapidly approaching my final days. At that time I had allowed my health to deteriorate to a low point following my wife's death from Alzheimer's disease(after 61 years of married life). I was 87 at that time, and among other problems, I was having very serious balance problems, after having a series of bad falls, mostly sprawling full length on concrete and injuring my elbows, hips and knees, but luckily not breaking any bones. At this time I concrete Dr Cicy Lai for help. It must have been blind luck( or driving guidance) that enabled me to immediately pick her number out of the telephone directory. I only expected a trained Chinese acupuncturist but was lucky enough to actually get a Doctor of Oriental Medicine.
With a combination of acupuncture massage, TaiChi, QiGong, Oriental herbs and loving care. She gave me the wherewithal to extend my life for a possibly significant number of additional years. I will always be extramelly grateful to my dear Dr.Cicy Lai
