Chi Remedy Acupuncture - Simone Wan, L.Ac

08/03/2007 Posted by tetta74

Simone has been treating me for the past two years and I have been very happy with not only the treatment but the results. Her comforting nature instantly relaxes me when I see her. Simone is very knowledgeable about both acupuncture as well as herbs. She spends a considerable amount of time with her patients and has a genuine interest in their well being. Simone is my first stop when I am not feeling all that well or just need a pick me up. She has treated backaches, headaches, colds, anxiety and fertility (after two treatments I became pregnant). I took me a long time to find a practitioner I was comfortable with, and I am very happy that I have now found Simone.

simone is awesome!! I was plagued by several years of chronic infections and had visited an incredible number of doctors and specialists who were unable to give me any answers or cures other than round after round of antibiotics. finally, I decided to see if alternative medicine could help. simone worked with me through acupuncture and adjustments to my diet and I cannot even tell you the difference - it is amazing! I feel like a completely new person and I haven't gotten sick in many months. thank you simone!

I get acupuncture and herbal meds from Simone Wan for chronic pain. Finding the right practitioner is ideal, things just really clicked with her from the beginning. She has a real kind face and a heart to match. She really cares. Her acupuncture is divine, you get so relaxed. She has helped me a great deal; I have more energy and I feel so much better. I feel very fortunate to have met her.

I've been playing competitive sports my whole life and its taken a toll on various parts of my body. I have tried lots of different treatments, and different acupuncturists as well, and I must say that Chi Remedy - specifically Simone Wan - has done a magnificent job allowing my body to heal itself and keep me physically healthy to be able to continue to compete in sports at a high level. I'm not sure where I'd be without it. If you have never been exposed to acupuncture I recommend you try it, for a variety of ailments or even for just general health maintenenace. Chi Remedy is a great place to start as Simone is very experienced and provides a very relaxed atmosphere for treatment.

Pros: atmosphere, personality of pracitioner, location, results

Simone really helped my sciatica. It was radiating down my leg and hurt when I would sit too long. it took a few sessions but was much better than taking medication or having surgery. Thanks Simone!

Pros: kind effective

When I was diagnosed with infertility as a result of athletic amenorrhea (no period due to heavy exercise, competitive running) I was initially in denial. I was convinced I could fix the problem myself in time by cutting back on my mileage, increasing the amount of healthy fats in my diet and being patient. 22 months later, and at my wits end - I decided to try acupuncture. Nothing I had tried until that point has worked; I was getting desperate and no younger. The infertility specialist told me my only option was fertility meds and IVF. Simone is, as anyone who meets her will attest, the illustration of calm, kindness, empathy and support. All this is wrapped within her vast knowledge and expertise in her field... which you almost forget is the reason you're visiting, so relaxed you are in her care. Terrified of needles, I was more than a little dubious. As a practical type-A, I was also not an easy one to convince. But Simone changed that. I am - just a year after having met Simone, the mother to a 10 week old little girl. Had it not been for our sessions, no doubt I'd still be the frustrated and discouraged person I was just over a year ago. Also - at 34 weeks - upon discovering my baby was breech a single visit turned her around and at my 36 week ultrasound, my little girl was ready and head down. This time I wasn't as surprised! What did amaze me though was once I was due we had a session to 'move things along'...and the next morning I delivered at 9:28am. Suffice it to say I'm a believer and am currently struggling to find another ailment so I can return, if nothing more than for the wonderful hug I receive following a treatment. Thank you Simone - you gave me my family.

Pros: Everything...Simone is nothing short of amazing.

Cons: None

Simone Wan was recomended to me by a friend. It had been 2 1/2 years that my husband and I had been trying to conceive. I was diagnosed by infertility specialists with "unexplained infertility". The last specialist we were seeing was excellent but nothing was happening. We tried IUI a few times and then IVF with no positive results. After my IVF cycle, besides being emotionally drained I also felt the same physically. Although, I felt that my clock was ticking I spoke to my Doctor and decided to take a few months off of Westen Medicine and go see Simone. She was very helpful and not pushy. She gave me information and left it up to me as to how I wanted to proceed. I liked her right away. She was very warm and understanding. I truely felt as if she cared and I wasen't just another patient of hers. Everything she did was very personal and geared towards my needs.She told me ways to change my lifestyle to help my situation, what to eat and what kind of activities to do and stay away from. After a few months I felt very relaxed and not obsessing over my not being able to conceive. I decided to return to my Specialits with Simone's blessing to get his opinion on how to proceed. We, along with Simone decided to try one month with no Western Meds, no more herbal teas, just acupuncture with Simone and a close watch by my infertility specialist. My Doctor was very interested and eager to see if the accupuncture and herbs had made any impact on my body. I remember my last appointment with Simone just before I ovulated. She hugged me and said good luck. Well, 10 days later I went in for a test and I was speachless, my doctor had good news. I truely feel that one of the biggest reasons I sit here with a life growing inside of me is because of the great care I received from Simone. The nurse at my Doctor's office called me after my test results and wanted to get Simone's information their patients. She made a believer out of me. --Lina

Pros: Caring warm

I went to Simone Wan for a reflux problem I was having. I tried changing my diet, etc but nothing was working. It might have been from stress but she helped me get rid of it with some herbs as well. It was great! And I barely felt the needles!!!

Pros: comfortable stress free location

I have had sciatica for a few months where the pain radiated down my leg. I tried a few acupuncturists but didn't feel comfortable with any of them. I didn't want surgery and finally found Simone from Citysearch. She was great. She gave me acupuncture, cupping, some massage, and my sciatica is almost all gone. She has great credentials and is very kind. I would highly recommend her.

Pros: Smart, owrks wonders for back pain!

I went to Simone to help me with health anxiety, allergies and to regulate my cycles following a miscarriage and several unsuccessful attempts at conceiving. She has such a great presence, she put me at ease right away. She's very caring, honest, and down to earth. She has a magic touch because on my FIRST cycle with her I conceived and am expecting in May. Not to mention all the help she has given me with the anxiety. So if you are having any ferility issues try her first!!

Pros: Results, patient, calm
