Physical Medicine-Pain & Acupuncture Clinic

Dr. Lin is an MD, Physical Therapist, and a highly trained Acupuncturist from China. His knowledge of how to heal the body is immense. I have been seeing him for 7 years and he has helped me deal with my Osteoarthritis pain, digestive problems. He has also treated my kidneys, as I have CKD. These treatments have helped elevate my GFR numbers, however, I am not claiming the treatments to be sustainable, as the numbers return after about a month or two to the old levels, but may keep me off dialysis, IF I can get my insurance company to pay for treatments often enough. Amazing to me that they would pay for 3 sessions per week on Dialysis but only once a month for something that works without dialysis, at a fraction of the cost!! (oh well, our medical system is run by the drug companies, as you know if you are reading this review!!



The best thing about his treatments is being a Physical Therapist and MD, he uses other alternative treatments along with acupuncture and most insurance will pay for 12 visits a year. I have been with 3 different insurance companies during the time I have been a patient of Dr. Lin. All these companies have all paid for treatment completely, except co-pay. He is also able to write prescriptions when needed, but unlike western doctors, does not use that as a first option. He is very knowledgeable about the toxic effects of meds and uses them infrequently, as a last resort. He offers herbal remedies at his office and suggests other solutions first. For instance, introduced me to Tai Chi, which helped immensely for range of motion without pain. I also own and use a few very simple, inexpensive items that he has suggested to relive pain over the years. After a session he sometimes provides a printed exercise plan to strengthen weak muscles around painful joints.



Dr. Lin a very kind and caring doctor, unlike most MD’s that make you wait for over an hour and see you for 10 minutes. His appointments are spaced accordingly and you never wait more than a few minutes. If you are finding this review you are a very lucky person!!
