I'm not so sure......

by Dh Tian

First please let me clarify: I'm not here to criticize Dr. Wang's practice. I'm just sort of annoyed by all the shining stars here when I came back to city search and bumped into this page again. I was drawn to Dr. Wang's office because of all the 22 wonderful reviews and straight five stars. My experience was nothing near impressive, and I was very disappointed. Com'on, think about it. Wouldn't you expect something just as good as, or at least half as good as what the other 22 people said? So my advice to you, and to myself, is that what others said is just what they said. You won't know how true it is to you until you try it out yourself. I'm not against you visiting Dr. Wang at all. Maybe your case falls in the range of Dr. Wang's expertise knowledge.

Dr. Wang is a Master

by YogaPixie

Dr. Wang is the best. My children and I have been going to him for years. He is gentle and very compassionate. He listens. I know other acupuncturists in town who send their tougher cases to Dr. Wang. His herbs are amazing. They work! My personal favorites are the Allergy herbs and Peaceful Mind. I highly recommend him.

Amazing results

by jersand

I have very bad knees from years of skateboarding, then many years of cycling and running. My ability to engage in these activities has been determined by the amount to knee pain I am feeling at any given time. I used to ride 100 ? 150 miles a week, and lately it is no more than 30 miles. I went to Sherry Hsiu-Huei Lee at Acupuncture Plus mainly to try to relieve the chronic pain I feel in my knees, not necessarily to make them better. She is a very knowledgeable and patient person who listens intently. She gave me a conservative estimate of the benefits of acupuncture, and told me that she thought it would help me. I was willing to try it, in that I have tried everything except surgery, which seemed inevitable. Sherry spends a long time at each visit meticulously going over any area of my body that she thinks might be in pain or might be negatively affecting my knees. She takes the time to explain what she is doing and how it will help, which is very important to me. For the three days between my first and second visit, my knees were not popping and cracking as they normally do. They were sore, but not in the normal aching way; they were sore like they had been exercised. After my second appointment, I was walking down the stairs with no knee pain and realized I couldn?t remember the last time it didn?t hurt to go down stairs. When I report these results to Sherry, she was very happy, but not at all surprised. Currently, my knees are better than they have been in many years and I am very optimistic about the future. I feel as if I have been given another chance. I would recommend Sherry Hsiu-Huei Lee without reservation to anyone with similar sports injuries. My only regret is not finding her sooner.

Dr. Wang and Dr. Lee both wonderful! Try acupuncture today!

by CateySeaholm

I've been seeing both Dr. Wang and Dr. Lee at Acupuncture Plus for two years, for my chronic asthma and bronchitis. In all cases, I have left their office feeling better after the very first session, and they bring me to full health within 3 - 5 sessions. They're very caring, supportive healers. I would never, ever go back to Western medicine to treat asthma. Relying on rescue inhalers, steroid inhalers, bronchio-dilators and antibiotics is no way to live! With acupuncture and Chinese herbs -- I go about once a year, for several sessions at a time -- I never have asthma anymore. I now do triathlons, run 10Ks, rode my bicycle this year in the 45-mile Hill Country Ride for AIDS -- none of which I could have done just a few years ago, when I had asthma attacks every day. Now, I call Acupuncture Plus at the first sign of chest tightness or bronchitis, and Drs. Wang and Lee bring me quickly back to health.

• Pros: It works, long-term! And no bad side effects!
• Cons: A bit expensive, unless your health ins. covers it.

Forever Grateful for Dr. Wang

by saldanhab

I am a practising R/n for the past 17years, recently my husband Steve was diagnosed with having a Herniated disc (L4-L5). He was put on pain medicine round the clock,but he did not have much relief .He was not able to walk , sit or stand for more than a second,before the pain would start which radiated to his thighs down to his knees forcing him to fall to his knees. So I went online to search for an acupuncture center when I cam across Dr Guoen Wang clinic ,after I read his qualifications I was very impressed and called him asking him if he could cure my husband,without hesitation he told me with confidence that he had treated a lot cases like my husband and to send him that very morning at 10.30am. My husband went for his appointment and came home very impressed as ,after the very first sitting he was now able to stand without the pain radiating to his thighs,Dr Wang had also started him on herbal medications which he felt added to his recovery. With just eight sitting my husband was back on his feet,and back to work,I now strongly feel that people with chronic back pain ,who live their lifes depending on pain medication should try Acupuncture it really helps..........specially people with herniated disc's or slip disc's ,who are thinking of surgery should try Acupuncture first to see if it helps them.

Dr. Wang, thank you once again for this miracle you performed on my husbands back with your treatment.

Amazing Results

by maryrolan

I am a 66 year old woman and have been a happy and satisfied client of Dr. Wang since he came to Austin, and I came to him with a variety of ailments, physical and emotional over the years. In fact, the only times that I went to a western doctor were for my annual well-woman check-ups and tests with a gynecologist, and vision tests.

He has successfully treated me for stress, colds, cholesterol reduction, cataracts, a tooth, hair and toenail, and more.Many times I have gone to him with the burdens of life either dragging me down to depression or causing me to have anxiety. I would leave his office after acupuncture relieved of those symptoms and being a happy person again.

If I had cold or allergy problems, he could lessen the time I was uncomfortable with that ailment, using acupuncture and herbs.

In 2000 I started taking herbs for my hair to thicken and renew its color. An added benefit was a toenail that renewed its health. Since an injury as a teenager, a toenail was disfigured, dark and attached only partially. Every year or so it would come off. But now it is almost back to normal, no more black, and much more attractive too!

When I was in Austin I would see Dr. Wang every 8 weeks for a "tune up" as we called it. This kept me feeling great and my health to maximum. Two years ago I followed my daughters to live in Florida, and my biggest concern was leaving Dr. Wang. I'm sorry to say that I have not found his equal here. I might have to come back to Austin!

Best Decision I've Ever Made

by jenschaeffer

In the winter of 1999, after years of deteriorating health due to asthma, I found myself in the emergency room of Brackenridge Hospital, struggling to breathe as I received steroid breathing treatment after steroid breathing treatment. After three of these breathing treatments my pulse was racing at a rate that was dangerous for my heart, yet I still could not breathe. At this point, the emergency room doctor determined that I would have to be admitted to the hospital and given treatments every four hours until I could breathe again. This went on all night and the next day. Finally, after two horrible days and nights, I was able to draw a decent breath of air.

This is when the doctors working on my case came into my hospital room and told me that Id have to take cortico-steroids for the rest of my life. This both disturbed and frightened me. I knew that steroids cause brittle bones among other negative side effects, and I didnt believe that the medicine would be effective against my asthma for the rest of my life. After leaving the hospital, I talked with friends about my options, and soon enough a trusted friend convinced me to try acupuncture. I was both skeptical and scared Id always been terrified of needles but I decided I had to give it a try.

That was the best decision I could have made. I went to acupuncture once a week at first, then every other week, drinking herbal teas every day. Finally, after about six months of regular treatments and herbs, I was off my routine inhalers for the first time in ten years something I thought would never be possible. Its now been over three years since Ive needed regular medication. I still take herbs and receive acupuncture treatments a few times a year, but am almost free of symptoms. I hope one day to have my full health restored, and believe it will happen with the help of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Highly Recommended

I had resolved myself to a life of pain from three degenerated discs. My body was slowly deteriorating from my travel schedule as a motivational speaker and I felt I was facing a life of poor health. A friend suggested I see Dr. Guoen Wang. My initial visit with Dr. Wang was most encouraging for he literally told me I could be healthy and live pain free. I was a bit skeptical but willing to try anything at this point in my 55 years.

Even at my first visit I found I relaxed and slept during the treatment, an amazing, relaxing rest. I started to look forward to my treatments because I felt so euphoric during and after, but several days after the sixth visit I realized I had been pain free for several days! I could not believe it I could not believe that I could move, bend and lift as I had not in years. I continued through the eight-week treatment, and then did not go in for regular visits.

Again, I found myself experiencing pain. When I went back to Dr. Wang I found that what I really needed to do was to schedule periodic tune-ups.

Then I had an annual physical only to discover that I had elevated cholesterol. The medical doctors were less than hopeful, and quite frankly, frightened me to death with my prognosis. I went to see Dr. Wang, who not only encouraged me, but also told me I could live a comfortable life pain-free with normal cholesterol.

Ive had multiple problems with menopause, back pain, cholesterol and minor ailments. At age 57, I have learned that acupuncture is a means to keep me healthy, pain-free and feeling great for many, many years. I have a healthy appetite and sleep like a baby if I get my tune-ups!

Dr. Wang and I decided that I will live to age 85 or maybe longer.

Thank You Dr. Wang

by raulrubert

Ten years ago, there was an incident where I was hurt and there was damage done to my back. Four years ago, I started to have digestive problems, and in the last year, I started having migraine headaches and energy issues. So knowing what I was faced with I was ready to give up on feeling good and was prepared to live the rest of my life in pain and suffer from digestive problems. Then a friend of mine told me about Dr. Wang and I was curious and skeptical of what acupuncture was and what it could do for me. When I had the first treatment I was not sure of what to expect and Dr. Wang put me at ease right a way. It was like a regular doctors visit, he took my information, and he discussed my problems with me and then mentioned how many treatments it would take to get back to feeling good again. Being at ease with him, but knowing what I was going to have done to me, I wanted to pay close attention to him placing the needles into my skin. It was painless and only a couple of times it felt uncomfortable; otherwise I thought it was cool. He treated one side for twenty minutes and then the other side for the same time. After the treatment, I felt like I was walking on clouds and did not understand what just took place. Then we talked a little and then he gave me some herbs for the energy problems and some other herbs for the migraine headaches. I went thought this process five more times and after each session, I felt even better than the time before. I began to notice that I was not having back pain, my digestive problems cleared up, and my energy was up. As for the migraine headaches, they lessened in intensity and eventually cleared up. I am grateful for Dr. Wang_s acupuncture treatments because he was able to help me with my health troubles. Now I can put those issues behind me and look forward to a healthy life once again.
