Chinese herbal medicine is an essential part of traditional Chinese medicine. Used in China for many centuries, it is one of the most effective treatments for some acute and chronic conditions. Unlike synthetic Western pharmaceutical prescriptions, Chinese herbal formulas are made from organic substances and rarely elicit side effects.
Diet, nutrition, and lifestyle are fundamental elements to achieving a balanced life and health and should be examined as part of any holistic treatment plan. The history of nutrients, foods, herbs and wines in traditional Chinese medicine goes far back throughout the dynasties and classic Chinese physicians.

I sought treatment from Doctor pan because I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet and legs. The pain at night was intolerable. After one session with dr. Pan Which included acupuncture in the feet, legs, stomach, arms, and head I had the best week I have had in years! I just concluded my second treatment. I would recommend her for anything!

This place and Dr. Pan and her assistants are incredible. Dr. Pan takes so much time with me. The last time I was there, her assistant wouldn't let me leave until I was out of pain.
Dr. Pan has such a gentle touch I could barely feel the needles. She does pulse reading, provides herbs and I felt better after the first visit. They are always present, attentive and kind.
I highly recommend them.

I was diagnosed with a serious medical condition and my doctor prescribed a harsh medication which made me very tired and affected my breathing. I became very depressed because I couldn't get off the sofa so I finally made a decision to try an alternative medical approach and decided upon acupuncture. I did a whole lot of research and after reading about Dr Sophia Pan, I contacted her. It just felt right!!!
Dr Pan examined me and was able to diagnose my illness without me explaining. Hence the beginning of my journey of acupuncture and Chinese medicine with her. Dr Pan has worked with

I was recommended to Dr. Pan by the Buddhist nuns at Buddhagate monastery in Lafayette because they use her regularly and really like her. I've personally used Dr. Pan for a wide variety of issues. She is quite generous with her time (doesn't watch the clock) and her skills and methodologies are very effective. I keep coming back to her and highly recommend her and Chinese medicine in general.
