I had a great experience here. Dr. Tien Lee was personable and compassionate; he was willing to listen to my concerns and the treatment was excellent. I benefitted in multiple ways from the treatment I received. I am able to engage in activities I was having difficulties or pain doing, ie. gardening, exercising, and much more. I would recommend the clinic to my physicians for referral and definitely to friends and family. Oh, and I lost weight too! Yeah!

I had been seeing a massage therapist for several months to treat pain in my back and hands incurred from work and daily activities. However, the pain was reoccurring and made it very difficult for me to do my work and daily activities. I was resigned to living with the pain until I decided to visit Dr. Lee’s office for treatment. During our initial consultation, Dr. Lee clearly explained their holistic approach to treatment that was easy for a layperson to understand. Through his questioning, he was able to diagnose my condition and implement a treatment plan that addressed the pain as well as treat other pre-existing conditions. Dr. Lee’s background in Western medicine and his knowledge of Chinese medicine complemented each other during the series of treatments. I really found relief from the pain. Even better, I was surprised to find improvements in my overall health. I am VERY GRATEFUL to Dr. Lee and his friendly staff for the treatment I received and for doing so with thoughtfulness, compassion, and professionalism!

I had bilateral knee replacement eleven months ago. My left knee healed very well but I had peroneal nerve pain near my right knee that was a real problem. My knee surgeon said he could do nothing about it and said acupuncture could help. I found the pain clinic online and after my first treatment, the pain began to diminish and then subsided almost completely. Both knees now (after 8 treatments) feel very good & I credit Dr. Lee and his clinic!

Prior to being treated by Dr. Tien Lee, I had significant pain and restricted movement in my back and right shoulder for over six months, despite multiple treatments by various other doctors. However, after Dr. Lee treated me with a regimen including injections and specially prescribed exercises, I experienced significant and long-lasting relief. Today, I am still completely pain free!

Dr. Tien Lee was so responsive and very professional. He really took the time to fully understand and diagnose the source of my pain. He prescribed a holistic treatment that not only made my pain go away, but really changed my mood and outlook on life.

This has been one of the most remarkable experiences. I suffered for years from bladder problems and pain, and for two months prior to coming to Dr. Lee I was in unrelenting daily pain. After the first treatment I was relieved of pain for several hours and then soon I began to count the days I was free of pain altogether... I feel that I will reach that ultimate point of freedom from having to worry about my bladder and to live a really better life.

I think the treatment was very helpful and I would recommend to my friends because it combines Chinese medicine and Western medicine. It's much more efficient that way and not too many drugs for my body. In addition, Dr. Lee is great in explaining details and helps me understand my problem. Thanks so much!

Since October 1, 1997, after our car was hit in an accident, I have experienced so much stress, along with pain in my neck and arms. By the time I had my first appointment with you, in late February 1998, I had received nineteen chiropractic treatments. I felt so frustrated, because the pain and stress kept returning and had caused me to discontinue one of my most favorite activities, teaching children and adults with disabilities to ride horses. I had also temporarily discontinued college, and just felt exhausted all the time. In one month, under your care all of my symptoms were relieved, including the stress. Thank you for knowing just how to cure this problem. I only wish that I had this relief in October. I am volunteering at the riding program, and back at college again. I also walk two miles a day at the beach.

This letter is to serve as documentation of successful treatment of migraine headaches by Tsun-Nin Lee, M.D. I have suffered from migraine headaches for over 20 years and have actively been seeking treatment for the last 10 years. I have seen several general practitioners, neurologists, physical therapists, chiropractors and clinical psychologists and have been prescribed amitriptyline, nortriptyline, doxepin, fiorinal, fiorinal with codeine, Midrin, Imitrex (both injection and tablet), ergotamine tartrate and biofeedback. No doctor or medication has come close to providing the benefit and relief I have been receiving from Dr. Lee.
Prior to seeing Dr. Lee, I was having severe migraines at a frequency of 2-3 times per week lasting a duration of 12-48 hours and was receiving minimal relief from medication taken on a monthly average of 9 Imitrex, 40 Midrin, 20 Fiorinal and 20 Fiorinal with codeine. I began seeing Dr. Lee in July of this year for auriculo neural therapy, auriculotherapy and trigger point injections and have also been receiving physical therapy in his office.
Since being treated by Dr. Lee, the frequency of my severe headaches has reduced to 1 per month with mild headaches occurring on average 2 times per week lasting no longer than 2-6 hours and being easily treated with a single dose of medication.

Please share this letter with any of your patients who are trying to decide if acupuncture will eliminate their painful situations.
In 1995 I was diagnosed with pancreatic insufficiency. The pancreatic insufficiency required taking medically prescribed Creon 20 with each meal for the rest of my life.
During January – October, 1998, at your office, I received at least two injection treatments per week from you for my muscular headaches and/or pancreatic insufficiency. By June 1998, I stopped taking the medically prescribed Creon20 – my pancreas was functioning normal. By November 1998 I no longer had the muscular headaches.
During the past 12 months I have not had any acupuncture treatments or experienced any of the symptoms which caused me to received acupuncture therapy at your medical office.

Thank you for your excellent treatment of my back pain. I must admit I was skeptical at first of the effectiveness of your proposed ultra sound and electric stimulation treatments. However, I have experienced absolutely no problems since my last treatment last June. I intend to recommend you to any one I encounter with similar problem. Thank you again.

It is with great pleasure that I write to you at this time. Words can’t express my feelings of joy when I wake each
morning knowing that I am free of the pain that has plagued me for the last thirty years.
After visiting countless doctors and trying countless remedies to ease the pain in my ear and jaw, you have
accomplished the impossible. Your remarkable abilities shall always be appreciated. Thank you for your
diligence in my behalf.

I am writing this day to thank you for all the assistance you have given me regarding the treatment of my intestinal disorder, Crohn’s Disease. Every other physician I have ever gone to had only drugs to offer me.
When I first went to see you I was interested in your therapy of working with points in the ear. I figured it certainly couldn’t hurt! Well, To my surprise, I was able to finally get off the low dosage of steroids I had been on for two ears. My health improved overall with an increase in energy and a general sense of well-being.
Now, whenever I have a flare-up of my disease I come to your office and within a week I am feeling so much better. As I told you before I am very excited about a therapy that can help Crohn’s Disease and hope that others with this disease can learn about your office and can finally get some relief from their suffering.
