Doctores and staffs are extremely professional and patience with all the questions you might have. Parking is easy within the office building or plenty street parking. They also take insurance, simply ask. Highly recommend.

I saw Dr Christina for the first time today and she was lovely. I contacted the clinic due to an acute and extremely painful injury. I really appreciated how Dr Christina was very thorough in addressing a variety of needs, and I have experienced some mild level of relief with this specific injury. When I was in treatment with Dr Christina she advised me to come for a follow up the same week. I assumed I would need a few appointments to address the injury. Upon checking out I was told the soonest available follow up would be 23 days later. I was confused and they said they'd ask Dr Christina if there is something sooner. I was later informed that there is nothing sooner and no referrals to other providers available. I replied that basically, had I known that ahead of time, I would have initiated treatment with another provider as it's a hassle to do all that preliminary paperwork and consult for just one session. I think it would be helpful if the person I spoke with at the very start informed me that care was very limited - perhaps they could consider that for acute and debilitating injuries, an upfront notice of their limits would be helpful.That being said I would certainly consider going back for more wellness / general care, and she truly was lovely to work with, but it's frustrating to now have to find a new clinic to get in with and do new documentation all over again, when I could have spent that time yesterday doing that for a provider who could provide more continuity of care. I do believe continuity of care is an important element in quality of practicing any sort of healing / helping modality, and a more full disclosure might be helpful in the future to save someone else the time I feel I lost in establishing a provider to help me navigate through this injury.

I would rather see Dr. Christina over my regular pcp. What my regular doctor was trying to heal over a 2 year span, she healed in a month! She is thorough and just amazing!

For those of you who are on--or have been thinking of going on--a journey toward lasting wellness, Dr. Christina and Dr. Nathan are truly a treasured find in partnering with you to find permanent resolve for your every ailment so that you may heal and feel alive and thrive again. My husband and I have been patients at Kai TCM Clinic for going on 5 years now. Although it's been a challenging path to reverse the damage done by conventional medicine, but we continue to persevere and are so very grateful for Dr. Christina and Dr. Nathan's wonderful expertise and deeply intuitive care. They are both rare gems and genuine advocates in healthcare.

I highly recommend you go and meet Doctor Christina at the Kai Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.She is the most amazing, and caring health practitioner you will ever meet.Together with Doctor Nathan and their assistants, they form a great team that give their patients a great alternative to treating their health and well being without typical western medicine or methods.This is just my opinion.... it seems modern Western medicine can save and change people's lives, and cure many diseases.I'm not sure we can do without in many cases...But there are alternatives as well, and sometimes, even many times... these alternatives are the healthier and more natural way to approach your health. You can tell from the 1st time you meet Doctor Christina, but especially after seeing her a few more times, it will become evident that she is not only extremely knowledgeable in the practice of traditional Chinese medicine, but also so very passionate about what she does and how much she cares about you, her patient and your well being.The other thing to know is that she seems very open to all alternative health and medicine practices, and is willing to look at the merits of all methods. Even modern western methods as well.At the Kai TCM clinic they practice acupuncture, as well as prescribe and use Chinese herbs for treating their clients.They seem to take a very holistic approach to people's health. So it is not just treatments with acupuncture and herbs, but looking at peoples lifestyles, diets also. From my own experience, I went to Doctor Christina for a pretty chronic digestive disorder and through her care, I was able to really cope with my problems in very natural way.... my symptoms went from daily and weekly episodes to almost none after about 5-10 weekly visits. You will find out really how much your diet affects your health... The only times, I tended to have relapses with my condition, were when I relapsed into old and bad eating habits and lifestyle.Something also very important I want to note is that I found that my blood pressure went from 130/80 to 110/70. This is pretty amazing... all without any modern western medication.You should know and understand it takes discipline and commitment.She also really seemed to help me with general day to day stress and body and muscle aches and sprains with acupuncture. Please make sure you discuss and understand the costs of the different treatment programs that they may offer or recommend for you.... some are not cheap.... the Chinese herbs can be quite expensive if you decide to take them regularly. I think the Kai TCM clinic is willing to work with you to prioritize what's important for you and what you can afford. I really do want to thank Doctor Christina for making such a positive impact on my life and well being.~Adam

I have suffered chronic back and neck pain for 20 plus years. I have tried many therapies with varying results. I have been able in conjunction with western medicine, use acupuncture to provide me the ability to manage my pain and maintain my quality of life.The problems that I have encountered before with acupuncture was generally language issues. Very few good practitioners spoke English. In order for your practitioner to identify the pain areas requires communication. Christina is a highly skilled, compassionate, excellent acupuncturist and healer. She was trained and degreed in China. Born and raised on the mainland U.S. she became interested in acupuncture when western medicine couldn't help heal her mother. She really cares about her patients and have been very flexible with my ever ending changing schedule.I have been a patient for over a year and I highly recommend Kai TCM as an alternative therapy to manage your pain.

I went for my first visit this week, overall I was pleased with my experience. First the receptionist said she would need call me back to check the schedule. Lucky me! Upon calling me back she said that could squeeze me in the next hour due to cancellation. It was perfect timing since they're close to office so walked there in 10 minutes. I wasn't feeling mentally/emotionally "aligned "and heard acupuncture could help. Dr. Nathan was aware that I needed to leave in an hour & started asking a series of questions. He took my pulse & looked at my tongue I was impressed with what he assessed within the first few minutes of just meeting me. He said that since there was time restraints he would do his best to address my concerns of the day & would explain more on my next visit. Dr. Nathan is skilled in placing the needles.....I hate needles but he would warn me what I MAY feel (like a "warming/tingling down to my ...") so it wasn't so bad.But here's what impressed me the most, I've had Bells Palsy 6 years ago & IMO haven't fully recovered. I have synkinesis....for example when I smile, my eye lid & cheek still droops. Dr. Nathan applied some acupressure points & blended in massage while having me move in certain positions. By the end of the quick session we compared the before & after pictures....There was a difference! Bottom line....the visit to Dr. Nathan opened my eyes to how my mental state relates to my medical state & I am looking forward to my next visit!
