| "I originally contacted Dr. Hsu because of chronic pain in my lower back, the result of twenty years of standing with a bass guitar strapped around my neck. At that time, the pain was so severe that I was forced to hobble around the city like a hunchback, and I was seriously considering a change of profession. I had been in agony for so long that I didn't think anything could be done. Dr. Hsu treated me with acupuncture and energy work, both of which were revelations. I hadn't realized how tense and constricted I had become until she began freeing up the energy in my body. She also helped me understand how my terrible posture was working against me, and worked with me to improve it. The results of Dr. Hsu's treatment were immediate and remarkable--I felt a definite improvement that day, both mentally and physically, and was back to 100% within a short time. Since then I have to come to rely on Dr Hsu for help with a variety of problems, from muscle injuries to insomnia to sinus infections, and she has found a way to help me every time. In addition to effectively treating my physical problems, she has helped me to avoid future ones by teaching me to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Her approach is thoughtful, caring, and resourceful, and her treatments always leave me feeling relaxed and happy." Solomon Snyder, Musician, Los Angeles, CA. "When I went to see Dr. Hsu over a year ago, I was feeling 'stuck' in many areas of my life. I had been treated for chronic depression and anxiety for a number of years, with varying amounts of success. But as time went on, I began to realize that Western medicine alone did not hold the key to my ultimate happiness. From my first visit with Dr. Hsu, I knew she was a very special person. I am not new to alternative medicine and have met many healers in my life, so I can say with confidence that she is a healer in every sense of the word. She not only draws on her years of education and practice of Eastern and Western medicine, but also from her personal experience as a spiritual seeker. Her skill as a doctor and acupuncturist, her honesty, openness, genuine caring, and compassion have given me the help I needed to address and move beyond the things that were keeping me from knowing the peace and happiness within myself. I can honestly say Dr. Hsu has played a major role in the growth I have experienced over the past year. I recommend her highly to my friends and family and look forward to continuing our work together." Tricia Barker, Business Continuity Consultant, Los Angeles, CA. "When I first met Dr. Hsu, I perceived her as a good doctor who also practiced acupuncture. Her compassionate service coupled with her talent as a clinical instructor impressed me. I now know her as a gifted healer with a profound spiritual insight into herself and the world around her. In the few months I was privileged to learn from her, I got to know someone who had an expert understanding of conventional as well as alternative medicine. She knew the mechanics of the human body as well as the subtleties of the spirit. Her competence in both worlds demonstrates a depth of knowledge, both outward and inward, that is rare in modern society. Her humility is a mark of true wisdom, and her affable nature is welcoming." Ather Ali, Naturopathic Physician, New Haven, CT. "I was given Dr. Hsu's phone number by a friend, and luckily I decided to seek treatment from her. She has helped me with a number of conditions over the past few years, and sometimes it feels great just to come in to maintain the healthy connection. The blending of her healing treatments, both Western and alternative, and the consultations have helped tremendously. It is rare that a practitioner spends this amount of time with you during a regular visit to help you understand and alleviate the problems. This hands-on treatment is relaxing and brings a new awareness to your body and mind." Richard Pietruska, Professor/Artist, Santa Monica, CA. "Dr. Hsu's treatments work like magic! I occasionally suffer from serious anxiety and/or insomnia. The last time I was experiencing a period of overwhelming anxiety, Dr. Hsu treated me using a technique involving acupuncture, osteopathy, and energy work. In just a single session, my anxiety was gone, and I felt relaxed and blissful for many days afterward. On another occasion, I was having serious insomnia for many days. When Dr. Hsu treated me again, I could feel the flow of healing energy. I felt so relaxed and drowsy during the treatment that I could hardly keep my eyes open. That night I fell into a deep sleep, the quality of which was something I had never experienced before. I continued to sleep peacefully and soundly for many nights that followed. The degree of relaxation and well-being achieved by Dr. Hsu's treatments was something I have not experienced through any other procedures I have tried." W.T.H., Ph.D., Retired Molecular Biologist, Seattle, WA. "I was treated by Dr. Hsu after a motorcycle accident in which my knee was injured. It hurt so much that I could hardly walk on it. After two days, I went to see Dr. Hsu and was treated with acupuncture and osteopathy. By the day after the treatment, my leg was so much better that I was starting to forget about the injury. I had never had any experience with acupuncture, and I must say that this experience made me a believer in its ability to make the body heal faster. I would recommend Dr. Hsu's clinic to any friend. The quiet, relaxing atmosphere she creates and her extensive knowledge of both Western and alternative medicine made me feel comfortable physically and mentally--I knew I was being treated by someone I trusted." Dag Flater, Musician, West Hollywood, CA. "Dr. Hsu treated me with craniosacral osteopathy for some chronic head and back pain I was experiencing. I experienced both immediate and prolonged relief from her treatment. Dr. Hsu uniquely combines a top-notch scientific background and approach, leveraging her expert knowledge of Western medicine, with an equally skillful approach to osteopathic and other alternative treatments, to deliver a treatment methodology that I believe goes well beyond that available through traditional channels. Furthermore, Dr. Hsu displays a high degree of empathy for her patients, so you feel well-cared for, as well as well-treated." Jason Donahue, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Information Technology and Management Consulting Firm, Hoboken, NJ. "My treatment with Dr. Clara Hsu was completely revitalizing. My body and mind loved it. I felt a release of stress like I've never felt before, not only during the treatment but even hours and days later. From years of aggressive skateboard riding, I have suffered some minor injuries, especially in my knees, which would tend to develop a stiffness. I do not feel stiffness in my knees anymore, and in fact, I have found an increase in the overall flexibility of my body." Wesley Berry, Waiter, North Hollywood, CA. "Dr. Hsu is the greatest! Her treatments have worked wonders on all sorts of ailments I've had, including allergies, headaches, and neck and shoulder pain. They have zapped oncoming colds and flus, keeping me healthy when everyone around me is coughing and sneezing. Even though I work long hours and repeatedly wipe myself out, a treatment always restores my energy and keeps me going for weeks. I always feel great after a treatment--calm, relaxed, and at peace." L.H., Attorney, Los Angeles, CA. "Dr. Clara Hsu, with her talented hands and dedicated knowledge of the pressure points of the body, gave me a new lease on life--making me feel like a new person without my arthritic pains. Each treatment was anticipated with joy." Thelma Jean Beamer, Retired Receptionist and Operator, Bullhead City, Arizona. "My husband I are both patients of Dr. Hsu's. I went to Dr. Hsu for infertility treatment, and as I am writing this, I am holding our precious three-month old baby boy in my arms. After my first treatment, I began to feel positive changes in my body, a feeling of balance in my life, and a release of stress and tension. Dr. Hsu was also able to help my husband with severe headaches; his headaches were occurring more often and getting more intense. He had one of his severe headaches the evening of his first treatment and has not had one since. Dr. Hsu's ability to move the energy throughout our bodies was remarkable. We have recommended her to many of our friends and will continue to do so." Kim MacEwan, Development Department, Westside Children's Center, Chris MacEwan, Production Artist, Media Revolution, Marina del Rey, CA. "I had a car accident recently and hurt my neck. After several days of pain, I went to Dr. Hsu and received an acupuncture treatment. I could feel the rush of the needles working. At the same time, she gave me intensive osteopathic treatment, and I could feel the energy moving throughout my body. Right after the treatment, my neck pain went away, I could finally sleep well again, and the next day I felt totally refreshed. I highly recommend her treatment. It was a great experience!" Min Oh, Musician, West Hollywood, CA. "I was referred to Dr. Clara Hsu after my five year old son was facing potentially his third inner ear operation. As he had been born an asthma baby, I was saddened by his constant cold symptoms and frustrated by the endless antibiotics for ear infections and inhalers to control his breathing. Skeptical but eager for my child to not again endure anesthesia and surgery, I eagerly scheduled an appointment for our first session. The time Dr. Hsu spent with my son was peaceful and relaxing. He, however, seemed rather indifferent, and at times almost fidgety. I immediately felt concerned he wasn't getting the full effort she gave to each session. My worries were in vain. After only a handful of meetings, my son seemed completely healthy. No lingering coughs and no ear infections. Noah is now six and a half years old. He has completely stopped using any medications and has yet to ever have another ear infection." Gabby Belkin, Homemaker, Long Beach, CA "I originally went to Dr. Hsu to quit smoking after having had that habit for 38 years. Not only did I successfully quit, but with her expert help, I learned so much about myself. She also gave me the tools by which to solve problems as they come up. My treatment with Dr. Hsu was truly very positive and enjoyable." Allan Tarlow, Former Retail Store Owner, Marina del Rey, CA. "I went to see Dr. Hsu for help with fatigue and digestive problems. Dr. Hsu treated me with a combination of acupuncture, osteopathy, and energy work. I have always felt an enormous amount of relief after these sessions. I also have appreciated Dr. Hsu's broad clinical perspective and her ability to diagnose and treat not only as an M.D. but also as a healer. I feel that acupuncture, osteopathy, and energy work beautifully facilitate the healing process and the letting go of that which stands in the way of attaining perfect health." Carlos Campos, Composer, Music Producer, and Educator, Los Angeles, CA. "I can say honestly that Dr. Hsu helped me a lot with my chronic neck and shoulder pain. I highly recommend her style of treatment, particularly when conventional medicine and therapies have failed." David Kaiden, Physician, San Diego, CA. "When Dr. Hsu treated me for low back pain, I was surprised when she discovered that one of my legs appeared to be shorter than the other as a result of my pelvis being out of balance. Using her caring technique, which really felt like she was just lifting my leg by the ankle, I felt no pain, adjustment, pulling, or anything that might indicate that a change was occurring. The next day, however, I felt tremendous and knew that something special had taken place. I am thoroughly convinced that Dr. Hsu's knowledge of conventional medicine, particularly anatomy, combined with osteopathy had a profound effect on my health, as well as the way I viewed alternative treatments." Roy Amemiya, Real Estate Acquisitions and Property Management, Los Angeles, CA. |
