It is my great pleasure to recommend Mr. Challen Yee, an acupuncturist whom I had treatments from for two semesters at Five Branches Institute Clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine. At that time Mr. Yee was an advanced student. While still working under the direction of an expert practitioner and instructor, he exhibited skills of listening with patience and concern to my explanations of how I was feeling. He worked under the direction of his instructor and always provided relief from pain or an enhanced sense of reduced tension and anxiety.

During my sessions with Mr. Yee, he worked on my back pain, pain in my shoulders and hips, pain in the joints of my hands. I am a caregiver for my wife. That situation causes stress and anxiety. It can also produce depression. His treatments tended to relax me and reduce stress and anxiety.
