Since I was 12 years old [now age 54], I started with migraines. Over the years, my headaches worsened. For the past 11 years I've been getting them 3-4 times a week, without being able to control it. I've been to several doctors, they've prescribed different medications and nothing seemed to help. I also had an MM of my brain, and nothing was found.
One day my niece told me about you. She said you have helped her in the past and highly recommended you. I was first in denial. I thought about it for 2 weeks before having my first consultation with you. My first week with the herbs didn't make me feel any different. I still continued with my headaches. I decided to try one more week. If I didn't feel a change I was going to stop coming to you.
I am extremely happy to say there has been a whole new change with my life style. Now I can get up from bed and go on with my everyday duties. I still get slight headaches but not to an extreme that I can't get up from bed. You have helped me a lot. I thought that there was no way to control my migraines. I thank God and you for all your help and patience you have for me. I'm going to continue going to you. I first was in disbelief, now I'm embarrassed to say I was wrong.

I have been tending bar and serving for 40 years. I have always had some kind of pain and have used lots of drugs to deal with it. For the last two years, however, I have had extreme pain in my neck and right arm. Never in my life had I considered acupuncture. I was shopping in the neighborhood and just walked in on David Lee. After telling him how I had to use Vicodin, Valium and Xanax to just work, I decided to let him treat me. In one week my whole life had changed. I no longer depend on drugs or alchohol for pain or stress. I believe I found a miracle in David.

About 3 yeas ago, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism or depressed thyroid. My symptoms were lethargy, unusual coldness (more sweaters in August) and sleeping an excessive amount. I was placed on Synthroid and that relieved the symptoms unless I forgot to take the daily medication. If I forgot to take the medicine, I had immediate response, such as inability to complete thoughts and sentences. I received acupuncture from David Lee. I have been symptom free for about 4 months. I'm off medication, and I honestly feel better than ever. My "blood numbers" fall within the normal range without medicine.

I came to see Dr. Lee because of low thyroid, irritable bowel & always feeling tired for years. I have been receiving treatment for 3 months and I see a huge difference in the way I feel. I have much more energy. I haven’t had any bouts with irritable bowel problem. I highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone with any of the problems that I had.

I had rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years. When it was severe, especially with work and change in weather, I could not get up in the morning for 2 hours and went to sleep at night with severe pain. My hands and were becoming crooked, and all the joints in my limbs were stiff.
I had acupuncture for two months now. I wake up with very little pain and I can do my activities throughout the day without having to worry about how I will wake up tomorrow.

When I first came to see Dr. Lee 2 months ago, I had a lot of pain & stiffness in my neck and back. I also experienced migraines frequently. After 2 months of treatment, my neck and back have improved significantly and I no longer have intense migraines. Overall I feel much better than I ever had before and I am more relaxed and focused during my day. The everyday stress in my life seems much improved also- I no longer feel anxious. I would recommend acupuncture to anyone wanting to improve their overall health & well being. I am very grateful I found Dr. Lee.

I have been coming to acupuncture for over a month now. When I first came in, my conditions were mostly IBS symptoms and some heel pain. Both symptoms were pretty severe. After the first few treatments of acupuncture, I felt better. As time went on I started to notice a change in my body not only with the symptoms that I had been suffering from but just (also) in my overall health. I started to feel more relaxed and my sleep became more restful.
Today my heel pain has diminished and my IBS is calmer. Along with the acupuncture Dr. Lee gave me Chinese herbs and some advice on what types of foods my body may not be able to handle. Both have really helped me in my progress to feeling better and also all better mental and physical health.

I’ve been in pain for about a year. Initially, my sacro-iliac joints were “off,” giving me discomfort, which increased a lot after a while. The discomfort became pain and started affecting my daily activities. I don’t use medicine, but I was walking, doing therapies…. It alleviated but the pain started coming and going and getting stronger each time. My energy was low, I felt tired, hot flashes were bothering me and lately the strong pain was constant… no break day and night. I started acupuncture, herbs intake, and nutrition changes 2 months ago.
The very next morning of my 1st session, my energy was back “with interests.” I was able to do things at home that I had been postponing for a long time and was not even relating to my session with Dr. Lee at all, until some days later, when other differences could be noticed. People started telling me that I was “glowing” and happier. And it was true. The next weekly sessions brought me a sense of wellness and happiness that I was not used to anymore.
Now I’ve been having sessions every other week and keep doing the herbs and the nutrition changes as well, which I intend to incorporate into my lifestyle! Thank you Dr. Lee for being such a gift to all of us, doing your alchemy towards healing the world; one being at a time.

I came to see David Lee 2 months prior due to IBS and menstrual problems. I was waking up every night with really bad stomach aches, which were interrupting my sleep. After a couple of weeks of acupuncture and herbs my stomach problems improved.
I don’t experience any stomach issues now. The insomnia has completely disappeared and my menstrual problems have improved. I think following David Lee’s suggestions on diet has really helped too. The lessened symptoms have greatly improved my quality of life. I sleep soundly at night and have a lot of energy for the gym, work, and family.

I am pregnant for 34 weeks now and not due for delivery until at least 36 weeks have passed. I had to be careful during my third trimester because the placenta is located too low in my uterus. I had lower back pain which started 2 months ago. Since two days before acupuncture I had constant uterine contractions which the medications helped a little. After three acupuncture sessions, I had no more contractions. My gynecologist says the placenta is placed firmly and expected to have normal birth. My lower back pain is much better.

I sprained my ankle quite badly and acupuncture was recommended to me. At first, I did not take the advice but after a week of consistent pain and limping and no significant improvement, I called David Lee.
We me shortly after and to my amazement I walked out of his office without a limp after just one visit. Not only that, but he also began treating my allergies. I have had difficulty with allergies for at least 20 years. I often would need to breathe out of my mouth because I was unable to get enough air through my nose. My nasal passages would be swollen and congested. During times of wind I would get severe sinus headaches. With several visits over the last week and a half, I’m ready to get back to my exercise routine and breathe more freely than I can ever remember.
I have recommended Dr. Lee to many people already and will continue to see him myself as well. If I had any complaint at all, it would be that I did not come to see him sooner. He is a blessing and I am grateful.

I had a constant burning sensation in the bladder, especially during urination. It began about two years ago and has been very uncomfortable since then. I was waking up 10 to 12 times a night to urinate. During the day, the pain was often unbearable. In my first acupuncture, I felt the pain going away while lying down on the table. My progress of improvement has been truly amazing. I have been coming about one month and half now. The burning pain is very minimal and I only get up about 3-4 times a night.
I was very surprised that my lower back and knee pain were also getting better. Often, I forget to use a cane and people at meetings are surprised that I am walking around without a cane. I was taking allergy pills every day. Now my nose is completely open even without medication. This is truly amazing and wonderful that I can live comfortably. Coming here made a difference of night and day.

I had broken my left wrist and right shoulder during an accident in mid September (5 months ago). Shortly thereafter I began seeing a physical therapist and my injuries were slowly improving. I January I had decided that my injuries were not improving fast enough so I came to see Dr. Lee.
At that time I still had significant pain in my shoulder and wrist. I had not slept a full night in months, was very tired constantly, and had headaches and allergies. Dr. Lee began giving me acupuncture treatments once per week and my symptom immediately began to improve at a much more rapid rate. In fact, after the 1st treatment, sleep was no longer an issue. Dr. Lee also advised me on my diet identifying foods to stay away from and others to eat. I feel this diet has improved my digestion, energy and concentration. He also began to give me a herb blend. The combination of acupuncture, diet, and herb therapy has made a big difference.
Thanks Dr. Lee!

J.P. BEFORE: I came in with symptoms of depression, neck pain, back pain, and just a general sense of “imbalance” with all areas in my life; professionally, personally, mentally, and spiritually. Prior to my first visit, I had been on anti-depressants on and off for 8 years, and I have never felt they were completely effective, rather just put a “bandaid” on my mental well-being.
AFTER: After a month of acupuncture treatment, my depression has subsided and my general sense of well-being has dramatically improved. Further, I completely feel better (mentally) without the need for anti-depressants! My neck pain has improved much as well. The “holistic” approach of acupuncture has affected all other areas of my life, and I feel more balanced, focused, and calm!

I was fatigued all the time. I was having pregnancy symptoms every month but I was not pregnant. My right foot had pain and I was having headache, and just feeling out of sorts. The first week of treatment I felt a difference. The treatment has been about two months, and I have no more pain. I’m not fatigued anymore. I feel the best I have felt in very long time.
Sincerely,

Lidia Lopez (translated by friend) Asthma The patient says she went to her medical doctor and he told her that her lungs were functioning properly and that she was doing better. Patient says she noticed that in the beginning before acupuncture she used the inhaler 5-6 times in 1 day.
She noticed that each day after acupuncture she was using the inhaler less and less often. The patient says she no longer has to use it anymore, thanks to acupuncture. The patient has been about 1 month without using the inhaler. The patient says especially now with the weather change to coldness she used it a lot. Now she no longer has to use it.

I started with Dr. Lee in December 06. I Found out I have arthritis in my right foot. So I thought I’d try acupuncture. I went 10 times and although the arthritis will continue, the pain has lessened and is less frequent.
I found that other symptoms began to diminish as well. My menopausal symptoms have seemed to really be less than they were when I came in. Stress has subsided and sleep is much better. Fatigue was also an issue, which I found the teas to really give me natural energy. I had constipation even when taking prune juice, Dr. Lee took me off prune juice immediately and told me to eat more green vegetables and drink the teas, and now I am going daily on my own.
Finally, Dr. Lee has helped me to become more aware of taking responsibility for my own health, I feel more motivated to take better care of my health and exercise more which will definitely help with my high cholesterol and overall well-being.
Thanks Dr. Lee for your inspiration and jump start into taking care of my mind and body.

At the age of 11, I started having a cough that would give me spells of up to 1 hour straight. My parents took me to the doctors and they would prescribe a cough medicine. Over the years this cough turned into an asthmatic cough. I have seen many doctors, specialists, and internal doctors, and even ended up in the emergency room more times than I can count. The doctors would prescribe asthma medications and medication to prevent my attacks but could never find a medication that would stop my coughing once I started. When I would end up in the emergency room I would receive a cool breathing treatment that would stop my coughing for maybe 1 hour. My coughing could last from 1 week to 5 months. My doctors could not find a cure. I met Dr. Lee through a friend. When I met him I was having my coughing spell. He recommended that I eat 3 pears a day and boil the peels in hot water and drink it like a tea. Well, to my surprise, in a couple of days my cough was gone. I tried my home remedies and none had worked, but thanks to Dr. Lee’s 3 pears I now sleep 8 hours peacefully, am able to work, and people don’t walk around me like they used to. By this I mean once I start coughing it can last up to 1 hour straight nonstop and people at times thought I had some kind of disease. Well, thanks to Dr. Lee I now can do things as everyone else.
