Dear Dr. Wang:
I would like to express our deep gratitude and thanks for the wonderful work that you and your office did with us. We had tried for over a year to get pregnant, before we came to see you. We had tried infertility drugs and were beginning the IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) process, when I came to see you. After 2 months of working with you, and Deirdra I became pregnant. I could not believe it happened that quickly and that easily. I was 37 when I got pregnant. Our daughter was born 9 months later.

The second time we tried, I came directly to you and did not even try fertility drugs. After sorting out my cycle, it took 3 tries to get pregnant. This time I had faith right from the beginning. We now have a wonderful 22 mo. old daughter and are expecting our second one in 6 more months. I really appreciate your optimism, your concern and the dedication that you and your staff exhibited as my partner and I were on our journey. Trying to get pregnant is challenging and stressful and the whole process was much more enjoyable and serene because of working with you and your staff. Thank you again. We are so happy with our good fortune.

Sincerely,
-R. Bennett

After trying to get pregnant for almost a year with other acupuncturists, I turned to Dr. Wang who specializes in fertility. He did not hesitate to tell me that he would succeed in helping me get pregnant. I followed his Remedies and could tell after my last treatment that my ovaries had been stimulated. Sure enough I was pregnant within one cycle. It was an amazing experience.

He is so positive, confident and reassuring. I have highly recommended him to many of my friends.

After spending 1 1/2 years trying to get pregnant I discovered Dr. Wang. At the time that I started to get acupuncture treatments my cycle was irregular and I had no visible signs of ovulation. Within three months that all changed and within six months I was pregnant. I now have a healthy and beautiful one year old daughter thanks to Dr. Wang.

I always feel like I'm in great hands with Dr. Wang and I always enjoy the wisdom he provides.

Dear Dr. Wang,
It has been about four years since I last saw you and I never got a chance to let you know how much you helped me after receiving acupuncture treatment from you. I visisted you in January 2001 and complained about my menstrual cycles being abnormal. I would menstruate about every 28 days but between days 21 and 28, I would spot with a small amount of bleeding until day 1. day 28 with a normal menstrual flow. You diagnosed me as 'not ovulating' and proceeded to treat me with bupishen and yin essence as well as a course of about four acupunture treatments. After this I was cured!! We concieved a baby in April and things were great!! Thank you!!

I am convinced that I never would have had our daughter had I not seen you and received your treatment. I delivered an 8 1/2 pound baby in January. After nursing ended I got my period and it was normal for about 8 months. Since then I have suffered the same symptoms. I am frustrated as I have seen numerous acupunturists but none of them seemed to have the knowledge that you had regarding women and their monthly cycles. I have moved to Seattle and would love to come to see you to receive more treatment. Obviously, this is difficult and I was wondering if you knew of any doctors who you'd recommend to help me with this condition. Thank you again for your help.

Sincerely,
Sherry

Dear Dr. Wang,

I fell in a shower and became paralyzed. I could not move my legs and it was very painful – I screamed and my neighbor came over and took me to Marin General Hospital. I was told that I may need surgery. I tried chiropractic and I felt worse. Prior to seeing Dr. Wang, I couldn’t get out of bed for 24 hrs. I had no control over my lower extremities and it took 2 people assisting me to get in to the Acupuncture Center. I felt better immediately after my first acupuncture treatment and after only five visits I was back to my normal activities including yoga. Years later Dr. Wang was able to help me with my severe menopause symptoms through his herbal remedies. I continue to refer patients to Dr. Wang.

I have been seen by both Deirdra Claiborne and Samuel Wang over the past 15 years and have had great results from their treatments. My reasons for seeking their help ranged from neck/back problems to auto-immune issues to a pesky sinus infection. I highly recommend them to anyone. First of all they are compassionate and caring, they listen to you (!) and they are honest about whether or not acupuncture will work for the issue that brought you in to see them. I have referred them many times to friends and have sent my daughter, husband, father and father-in-law to them as well. The office is peaceful and serene and Barbara, the office manager is wonderful and efficient.

In 15 years of seeking acupuncture treatment for various ailments, Dierdre Claiborne is one of the very best acupuncturists I've seen. Dierdre was very good at placing the needles with a minimum of discomfort, something that comes with many years of experience, and listened to me when I asked for adjustments and/or to have a needle removed. After just one session, I was able to start sleeping through the night again and get some relief from some miserable symptoms I've been experiencing.

The rooms and the environment are very comfortable and they sell many high-quality supplements. I did not meet the other practitioner here, but I would feel very comfortable recommending Deirdra to anyone.

I had acupuncture treatments with Deirdra Claiborne for neck pain and stomach issues. The treatments helped both of my conditions. I would highly recommend the Acupuncture and Herbal Center!

I had a very favorable experience with Dr. Samuel Wang. I have been having a problem with my foot for many months now, with swelling and pain at night. I could not exercise without pain or walk for long periods. I tried massage, pain pills, ice, and even talked to a medical doctor...it just would not get better. So I decided to give Acupuncture a shot and called the Acupuncture Herbal Center who I found in the phone book. I knew I was in the right place right away because the staff was so nice and attentive. But what really got my attention was the treatment itself. Sure, it hurt a little, but it was a good kind of pain. I could tell instantly that I was in the right place. In fact, I walked out without any foot pain. I have been back a few times for follow-up, but the pain is gone. Thank you Dr. Wang...you are great and so is your staff. I'm surprised I am the first review because the clinic was crowded and everyone seemed happy.

I came to Deirdra Claiborne's office a while ago with a very sore neck, with her expertise and gentle touch, I was on my way to healing. It really made a difference. I have not had any neck pain now for over a year. Thanks Dierdre for your healing touch. I will recommend you to any one who is need of an acupuncturist. Maggie

I developed a chronic ankle injury from ballet since the age of 6. After years of ankle pain, I decided to receive acupuncture. The pain had diminished significantly after only 3 acupuncture appointments. I am able to dance without ankle pain. The environment of the clinic is so comfortable and welcoming. Deirdra and Dr. Wang, the acupuncturists are friendly and knowledgeable.

Acupuncture & Herbal Center is definitely the place to go with an injury. They'll heal and you'll make a friend!

I had severe upper back and neck pain- ready to go to emergency- Deirdra Claiborne and Dr. Wang significantly improved my condition. Pain level was a 9 and within one treatment, my pain level was down to a 3. They really communicated well and showed a lot of compassion. I would highly recommend this clinic. Highly professional.

I now get periodic treatment with them to improve my overall health, and keep my upper back tension to a minimum.

The treatment included various techniques, including acupuncture, herbal patches, traction and micro current.
