When I first met Dr. Li, I suffered severe ankle pain. He told me her pain was not going to be healed quickly, and it takes time to see the result. After a few treatments I felt it is definitely working. I feel much better even I am going up and down the stairs, which is the most painful experience for me. My problem is gradually eased. Dr. Li is very friendly and his knowledge is amazing. He answered every question I had with patience. I highly recommend Dr. Li to anyone.

Dr. Lance Li is truly a healer in every sense of the expression. He is competent, compassionate, thoughtful and respectful and witty too. I have been seeing him since May 2014 and I have not missed even one weekly session. I so much appreciate how he listens to my complaints and pulls my spirits up. He does not make false promises. He told me at the very beginning that my condition will take time and that it is a slow but steady process of healing. He sets himself up as a partner in the treatment process. He gives me useful tips for daily exercises and on diet plan - what to eat and what to avoid. I feel I am getting a package deal with him - acupuncture, Chinese targeted massage, appropriate herbs - in addition to good stories on just about everything, with his childlike laughter. When most healthcare professionals always look hurried and indifferent, it is a great relief to find someone dedicated to their profession and is truly eager to get you to do the things you like. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him. If you keen on resetting your body and if you are health-centered, rather than disease-centered, then he is right guy.

I want to share my experience as Dr. Li’s patient. Since I visited him from last October 2014, he always resolved my issues. The first time I saw him, because I have a very acute back pain, and I felt completely good after his treatment. He did Acupuncture, Tuina, and Moxibustion. Later I came to him for my common cold, he treated me and I was prescribed Chinese Herbs which serves like Chinese Vaccination, after I took this herbs I have not got any issue with cold the entire winter. In the meantime, I am receiving Acupuncture more regularly for my chronic digestive disorder, and I am receiving Chinese herbs to treat and also prevent me from having digestive issues. Frankly speaking, he is very kind, always smiles at me and he is very optimistic natural healer. I very highly recommend Dr. Li.

Of cheerful and caring disposition, Dr. Li listens carefully and probes deeply into the underlying causes of illness. He knows that developing his patient's trust and making his treatment sessions comfortable for the patient is an important component of an integral treatment plan. After each acupuncture session, I feel revitalized with my chronic shoulder pain on the way to a permanent cure, and my mood soaring as I'm smiling to strangers on the street, still recalling tidbit memories of my recent chat with master acupuncturist, Dr. Lance Li.
