Shen Acupuncture

I went to see Dr. Shen when I was experiencing severe lower back pain. I was seeing a chiropractor, and it was suggested by a friend to try acupuncture. I decided to try it, despite being a little skeptical. I live in Tsawwassen, so Dr. Shen was close.In my first visit, I found Dr. Shen very thorough in our initial discussion, and she made me feel completely comfortable with the process.Within a few minutes of the actual acupuncture procedure, I felt relief.Over the next two weeks, I saw Dr. Shen a few more times. My lower back pain continued to improve dramatically.I found Dr. Shen herself to be a very professional and caring person, and the results speak for themselves.I highly recommend her if you are considering acupuncture...you will be in the best of care.

If I could give 6 stars to Dr Shen, I would. She is an incredible TCM practicionner. I highly recommend her for any kind of disorders that you might have. She helped me with muscular pain, nerves, well being, a lot of things as well as my husband for his allergies, headeaches and back pain. She is professional and she deeply care for the well being of the clients. I am a very sensitive patient and she has been so patient and attentive with my body. She has been a life saver for me. Do not hesitate to try acuponcture if you have doubt about it, she will convince you that it is working! Thanks for everything!

Dr. Shen only takes cash and cheque (no credit card facility). She charges $60 for one-hour consultation ONLY. Others charge for an initial appointment consisting of a 15-20 min consultation and actual acupuncture procedure.During the consultation, she took 2 calls in my presence which lasted about 3-5 minutes. I heard one-sided phone conversations which compromised patient privacy. She assured me we had enough time after each call because she doesn't work mornings. Her hours of operation are 9AM to 5PM. Her website is not up to date.Despite her claim that she doesn't work mornings a client comes in at 10:45am and she starts to rush. I asked her to write down her diagnosis, she refused. So I kept asking her to repeat it for me so I could write it down. Unfortunately, I couldn't because I had difficulty understanding her heavy accent.I emailed her asking for a refund. After 3 days, and no response. I called and asked if she got my email, she said no. Not only did she refuse me a refund, she yelled at me and hung up. Although I was reluctant she would refund me, I expected that she would at least work out some kind of agreement.I was so dejected after meeting her. Please save your time and money and find a health practitioner that can treat you with respect, confidentiality, and professionalism.

I went to Dr. Shen for a shoulder separation due to a fall from my horse. Dr. Shen is thoughtful, caring and very knowledgeable. I stick to the treatment schedule; it is working so well... within 6 days, I was able to have almost complete full use of my arm, and improving every day....also, because I believe that we as patients bear a responsibility for our own wellness, I exercise my arm regularly to test its range of motion with the movements she asked me to do...wellness is a function of the diligence of practitioner and patient. I could not ask for a better practitioner than Dr. Shen.In TCM, processes such as acupuncture work with the body's own energy, to restore its balance. Fullness of healing comes not as a 'quick fix', but as a journey to restoration and wholeness.I am grateful to have a caring, and expert practitioner in Dr. Shen to help me on this journey. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Shen was initially referred by one of my friends appraising her impressive TCM knowledge and treatment on tough sicknesses with no immediate medical cure.I have experienced dull and sharp pain from the surgery of major bone fractures (tibia and fibula). Dr. Shen treated me and reduced the pain in a couple of treatments. I used to afraid of needles; however, Dr. Shen totally changed my attitude towards TCM. I felt I was given ``organic`` no side-affected treatment.I also experienced Vertigo, suspected kidney stone pain, and headaches in the past. Dr. Shen freed me from discomfort and frustration with her stellar TCM’s knowledge and skills.Dr. Shen’s caring nature suits her profession well as a medical practitioner. She is the most humble and knowledgeable TCM doctor that I have ever had. I am currently being treated with tinnitus and making a great progress.I would definitely recommend Shen Acupuncture & Herbology Clinic to those seeking second opinon when no other treatment works.

I highly recommend Dr Shen: she is courteous, professional and friendly. I went to her with hot flashes that were occurring 8-12/night and 3-5/day. I was barely sleeping. After the first treatment the frequency was reduced to 2/night and 2/day. In addition, the intensity was reduced. I was able to return to sleep quite easily. After 10 treatments, I now have a very mild warm flash 1/48 hours. My sleep has improved. A friend recommended Dr Shen to me -and now I recommend her to my friends and family.

I went to visit Dr. Shen because I had vertigo. She was amazing and very caring and helped me with my symptoms. Not only vertigo, but tight neck muscles as well. After just one sitting she would release all the stress in my neck - it was amazing actually. Id highly recommend her. She also made me a special tea with herbs tohelp with my stomach bloating. Just a great lady.

Dr. Shen is the most warm, caring and emapthetic doctor I've ever met. She fixed my back pain after years of struggle and I'd go back to her for anything. I miss her being a part of my week. Her profession suits her well.

Hongyao (Hannah) Shen is a very professional, caring practitioner with extensive and unique abilities. The acupuncture treatments I have had at her clinic, over the last 6 years, included healing a shoulder injury, migraine prevention, insomnia and, most recently, treatment for vertigo. Her whole-body, overall wellbeing approach continues to help me with any health issues that arise. She can provide treatment for more than one ailment in one session. The clinic is bright, clean and tidy. I feel that this type of treatment is very effective alone or as a complement to Western medicine in an effective way. I have, and would, recommend Shen Acupuncture & Herbology Clinic to others.

I visited Shen Acupuncture as I was frustrated with ongoing knee issues (including pain, stiffness, and limited ROM) resulting from a complete ACL tear, meniscus tear and damage to my MCL. I decided to try acupuncture in the hopes that it might help me while I waited for surgery.I am happy to report that Dr. Shen's treatment far exceeded my expectations! With regular treatment, I was able to get back to most of my activities while I waited for surgery ( wearing a knee brace of course). This included playing ice hockey, hiking the grind on a regular basis, ballet, yoga, biking and walking daily. In fact, before my surgery, I was able to fully rest in child's pose for a prolonged period of time! (remember, this is with the terrible triad- ACL, MCL, and meniscus) I was not able to do that at all before visiting Dr. Shen!!I finally had ACL reconstruction surgery eight weeks ago. At my first physiotherapy appointment, my physiotherapist expressed her concerns about my slow progress two weeks post op. My ROM was only 40 degrees. I promptly made an appointment with Dr. Shen. One week later, pain and swelling were reduced, I was completely off pain medication, and ROM increased by 20 degrees in one week. I also had challenges with muscle spasms in my calf. This was also alleviated with Dr. Shen's treatment.Further to the complications, I had a significant amount of numbness from the surgery. This ran from my knee, along the front of my shin bone, all the way down to my heel. I am happy to report that the area of numbness is significantly reduced with treatment from Dr. Shen.I will also add that recently, Dr. Shen was away for a few weeks. During this time I did not receive acupuncture. I became very frustrated with my progress once again. I plateaued in her absence. My weekly physiotherapy visit showed only a 3 degree improvement in ROM with a significant amount of effort on my part to get that 3 degrees! I also now had the pain associated with patellofemoral syndrome.I am back to receiving treatment, and am once again feeling like I am making good progress. I am very close to full ROM!I am so thankful to have someone like Dr. Shen available to me. She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in TCM. She is thoughtful in considering the diverse and complicated needs of each and every patient. She also prides herself in instructing students of TCM as well as traveling locally and abroad to learn from other TCM practitioners.If you are experiencing pain, discomfort, or are recovering from surgery, please do yourself a favour and see Dr. Shen. We are really very fortunate to have someone so experienced and skilled in TCM available to us.
