I’m a family physician and Integrative Medicine doctor from California. This was one of the best acupuncture treatments I’ve had, and I’ve had over 50 treatments in the US From several different acupuncturists. Also my first ever cupping treatment. I was impressed with how astute Dr. Nam’s pulse diagnosis was. She nailed a lot of my problems due to deficiency in my kidney meridian and took the time to explain everything. She also advised me to decrease my salt and sugar intake and increase my hydration…which no other acupuncturist ever took the time to do before. One of the most caring and kindest practitioners I’ve met.
I had chronic bilateral epicondylitis (Tennis elbow), right knee pain that was on the verge of becoming chronic, and a leaky gut syndrome that I had for over 10 years. A lot of issues to address and one treatment, but she did, which many practitioners would not do. She had me lie on my stomach and did the cupping and acupuncture teatment. After resting for 20 minutes, she removed the needles, had me flip over, and treated my stomach and front side, having me rest for another 20 minutes with inserted needles. When I thought she was surely finished, she had me move my limbs and asked how my elbow and pain felt. The pain in both elbows were gone, but there is still a slight tenderness in my right knee, even though it was much improved. Unbelievably, she continued treating me and inserted more needles to focus on the right knee.
I left in noticeably better shape than I entered, and only wish I had discovered Dr. Nam sooner during my weeklong visit here in Bangkok. I am very impressed, and highly...
Read moreIt took me three years to fully recover from depression. I began treatment with a psychologist who prescribed antidepressant medication and sleeping pills. Initially, I was taking three to four pills per meal, and I felt terrible. Due to side effects from the medication, I gained ten kilograms.
Last year, before my complete recovery, my friend suggested I try acupuncture. My first session was on November 2023. I was terrified of needles and felt dreadful during the procedure. I wanted to quit immediately.
However, to my surprise, my symptoms improved rapidly. My psychologist gradually reduced my medication from three pills to two, then one, and finally to one pill every two days.
Today, my psychologist informed me that I can stop taking medication altogether and that I have fully recovered.
I received weekly acupuncture treatments from Dr. Nam from November 2023 to December 2024. She is incredibly kind and polite. She also provided dietary advice, teaching me what to eat and what to avoid. She helped me change my lifestyle. Depression is not solely a mental health issue but is also influenced by lifestyle factors, such as diet and beverage choices.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Nam for giving me a new lease on life and supporting me through the darkest period of my life.
I encourage anyone who is hesitant to try acupuncture, especially those suffering from depression, to give it a chance. It may take time, not just five to ten sessions, but potentially three to twelve months, depending on the severity of your condition.
Thank you again, Dr. Nam. You are...
Read moreWhat can I add to the other reviews besides Dr. Nam being simply the best, most knowledgeable, and most attentive acupuncturist I have ever been to? Originally went to see Dr. Nam for my insomnia and after the first visit was able to sleep 12 hours straight on the third day after my first treatment! WOW, WOW, WOW!!!
I can't believe it, but now I'm sleeping normally! I've gone back now to get these stubborn knots out from my upper shoulders and back that I've had forever, and so far I've seen much improvement.
Planning on seeing Dr. Nam for my high blood pressure and Tinnitus, will update you with the results of those treatments, and I have to say, I'm very optimistic about her abilities...It's almost supernatural! No Joke!
And if you don't speak Thai, no problem...The wonderful staff there speaks perfect English and I think Dr. Nam speaks Chinese too!
I can't recommend Dr. Nam enough! absolutely one of the best decisions I've made In my life! Thank you Dr. Nam for saving my life!
The only regret I may have is that after all these positive reviews, Dr. Nam might be too busy to see...
