Chinese Medicine Wellness Center of America

“Chinese Medicine Wellness Center of America felt less like walking into a doctor’s office and more like finally being heard after years of static. After countless appointments, scans, bloodwork, shrugs, and the soul-numbing “everything looks normal,” I was exhausted. American medicine kept handing me clean charts while my body kept waving red flags like a storm warning no one else could see. I knew something was wrong. It’s my body. You know when something’s off. Then I met Dr. Tong. From the moment we sat down, he took the time to genuinely get to know me, not just my symptoms. We talked through my gut issues in detail, and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel rushed, dismissed, or reduced to a checklist on a clipboard. There was patience in the room. Humanity. Curiosity. Care. The acupuncture was my first experience ever doing it, and honestly? Completely painless. Not just painless, but strangely beautiful in a way I can barely explain. At one point, a wave of warmth and positivity moved through my body like sunlight pouring into a cold room. My mind quieted. My shoulders unclenched. Even my breathing felt different. Afterward, he had me flip over and applied acupressure, which somehow deepened that sense of release even more. We spoke again afterward, and he sent me home with supplements to take before meals, along with a clean pescatarian diet tailored to help my body heal instead of just survive. I cannot recommend this place or Dr. Tong enough. Sometimes healing begins the second someone finally listens.”

“I have had neck and shoulder pain for a very long time, and the previous doctor was unable to clearly identify the cause or provide effective treatment. Luckily I found Dr. Tong who has extensive experience in treating chronic conditions and quickly understood my situation. He explained everything patiently, and we developed a clear and appropriate treatment plan together. Best of all, most of the treatment is covered by my insurance. After several acupuncture sessions, my neck pain has significantly reduced and is now well under control. I also feel less easily fatigued or dizzy than before.I also experiencing stomach discomfort that would come and go due to an irregular schedule and stress. Dr. Tong was able to identify this issue as well, and it has improved. The treatment process was smooth, gentle, and felt very safe throughout. I would recommend Dr. Tong to anyone seeking professional and effective acupuncture care!! It truly helps!”

“I have been having Back pain, sciatica pain for last 7 months- tried everything- regular doctor (pain killers and rest), Chiropractor and PT. Those visits didn't solve any of my problem. Helped little bit but pain came back. Then, one of my friend suggested this acupuncture place. Due to location, i choose another clinic near my home in Arlington and all i got there was lots of pain from needle pooking from head to toe. Didn't improve my situation. Then i decided to try this clinic although very far from my Home. When i went there, i was expecting to be pooked throughout my body. But Dr Tong said your main issue is back- once we take care of back, all issues will go away. I think he used only 4 needles- pain free. After the 1st acupuncture, i already could feel the difference. Total, i did 5 visits, plus i am just doing 2 stretches regularly shown to me by Dr Tong, and it has been magical for me. No more painkillers and pain. Dr Tong is very knowledgeable and professional and i can't thank him enuogh for making me pain free.”

“I came to Dr. Tong for my insomnia and he treated with patience and kindness. His calm presence brings a lot of reassurance for me to recovery from my post concussion syndromes. If you prefer a good doctor listen and hear you. He definitely is one of them. Along the treatment, Dr. Tong also treated my chronic IBS which is disturbing me for a long time. His service and treatment is effective and helpful. He is really good at diagnosing your problem from the root cause. Highly recommended him!”
