Hi,
I am currently having some health issues and would like to try an alternative to medication. The side effects can be hard on the body and I'd like to try a more natural approach. I've always heard wonderful things about this kind of treatment and I would like to get some recommendations before I just "open the phone book"
Thanks so much for your time.

What can I do next?

I have had wonderful results with 7 Arrows ###-###-####) of Laguna Hills. Their accupuncture team is outstanding. When I do not achieve results through a physician, I seek out a well-regarded accupuncturist, and they always are able to determine the issue and resolve the problem. Best recommendation I have ever received.

Dear E.,
You can call Dr. Dao (Daoshing Ni) at Tao of Wellness in Santa Monica - his phone number is ###-###-#### - if he is not available ask for his brother Dr. Mao (Maoshing Ni) - Dr. Dao specializes in women's issues, in addition to general practice - their father is a retired master accupuncturist who has written at least 40 books on the subject - i know there are some very qualified accupuncturists in Orange County, but i can only swear by the Ni brothers - they are very well known, and have their own in-house "pharmacy" with the best of the best herbs -- what they have done for me or others i know is short of miracles. If the long distance works for you, be prepared to see some famous people when you are in the waiting room! Best wishes, P.

E., I just went to an Acupuncturist. He happened to be next door to the chiropractor I have been seeing, so I didn't do a lot of research. However, I was extremely impressed with his techniques, and felt a lot better after leaving his office. He isn't in Aliso Viejo (I live there too). He is in San Clemente (off of Camino Estrella). It is closer for me because my kids go to school in San Juan Capistrano. His name is Peter Zhang and the office is New Hope Acupuncture Center. His number is ###-###-####.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear you have health issues. I do have a great acupuncturist. I have used him to help me conceive. His name is Mehrdad Ghaffarian. He is located in Rancho Santa Margarita. He is absolutely wonderful. He has a very calm personality, too...which I think is great. His number is: ###-###-####.

Hope this helps. I'm a strong believer in acupuncture. I'll be happy to answer questions you may have.

I'm pleased to share the gift of Dr.Julie Chen Nelson MD who brought me great healing and freedom from severe pain that I had following an accident and multiple surgeries to repair my right shoulder. I had months of physical therapy prior, but the pain persisted and intensified until the acupuncture relieved it from the very first treatments. Her phone####-###-#### and her office is 647 Camino de Las Mares #221 San Clemente across the street from the hospital.I think she is very skilled and the best in our area. S.
