Traditional Chinese Medicine

I have had the opportunity to visit Dr. Hu’s clinic several times and receive treatments based on her expertise in eastern and western medicine. You will not find a more professional expert with her unique depth of knowledge in medicine that is clearly her passion. She took the time to carefully diagnose, then explain my issues, came up with a treatment plan and then successfully improve and resolved the problem through acupuncture and individual tailored Chinese herbal treatments. Herbal mixes can look unusual, but it worked.

Dr. Hu is not a practicing US licensed Medical Doctor (MD) be clear on this for your insurance purposes, do your due diligence, as insurance companies are getting sketchier by the day. However, she studied for 6 years and attained a Medical Degree in western medicine specializing in cardiology from a medical university in China, and later as Director of Cardiology at the hospital where she worked. She immigrated to the States afterwards. Her credentials also include the US Licensing Medical Exam (USLME), licensing as an acupuncturist (L.Ac), Oriental Medical Degree (OMD), and a Doctorate in Oriental Medicine. All of her licenses and degrees are displayed on the wall to the left as you enter the clinic. Dr Hu has also authored several for sale professional books based on traditional Chinese treatments for health, beauty and longevity. They are easy to read and follow, the price is not inexpensive but you kind of get what you pay for. I bought a set.

Dr Hu will tell you to go to the hospital for treatment if she thinks its best for you. That’s the difference between someone who has little medical experience or someone who is more interested in your wallet. Your health should be a priority, why waste your time otherwise.

Oh and don’t let the clinic that looks like a house on the outside put you off, unless you need to go to a soul less medical building made of steel and elevators. The clinic is in a residential/business approved area and the house was redesigned inside to welcome patients with traditional Chinese decor and soothing music.

So yes, when I have had a chronic cough, pulled a muscle, or had a chronic pain management issue I’ve gone to Dr Hu for advice and treatment and came away much better.

Helen made my first acupuncture experience extremely easy and relaxing! I'm not a fan of needles and was scared to try this method of tension release (I had a sore neck and shoulders), but after this experience I can say I'd 100% do it again. She uses infrared lights which helped to warm and relax my stiff upper back. Helen's office is much more comfortable than your usual stuffy doctor office setting, filled with pretty plants and Chinese decor in a more "house-style" type of office setting. I especially enjoyed the sound of gentle wind chimes outside while my treatment was happening. Helen is not only knowledgeable and kind, but also very professional.
