My hands have been stiff and painful from arthritis for years, making it hard to hold a fork or button my shirt. The humidity sometimes makes it worse.
Dr. Chen treated my hands and wrists with such care. By the end of the cruise, I had my grip strength back and the swelling was visibly reduced. I’m going home to look for an acupuncturist immediately, though I doubt I will find one as good as Dr. Chen. (Patricia)
I came on this cruise to relax, but I couldn’t seem to turn my brain off. My blood pressure was running high, and I felt tight in my chest. I attended Dr. Chen’s seminar on Traditional Chinese Medicine and decided to try a session for stress relief.
It was the most relaxing hour of my life. I fell asleep on the table! My blood pressure reading was significantly lower afterwards, and I finally feel like I am actually on vacation. His calming presence is exactly what I needed. (David)
I have suffered from sciatica for over five years. The shooting pain down my leg usually stops me from sitting for long dinners or enjoying the theater shows. I wasn’t expecting a cure, just maybe a little relief.
Dr. Chen gave me so much more than that. He identified exactly where the nerve was pinched. After three sessions, the numbness in my toes is gone and the shooting pain has stopped completely. I can finally enjoy the shows without shifting in my seat every two minutes! (Mark)
I often get bad sinus headaches when traveling due to the air conditioning and climate changes. I spent the first day of the voyage in my cabin with a cold compress over my eyes, miserable.
My husband found Dr. Chen’s pamphlet and encouraged me to go. I was amazed—within 20 minutes of the needles being placed, my sinuses started to drain and the pressure vanished. I walked out of there breathing clearly for the first time in weeks. He is truly a gifted healer. (Jennifer)
I love cruising, but the walking always flares up my plantar fasciitis. By day three, I could barely put weight on my left heel in the mornings. It felt like stepping on glass.
Dr. Chen worked on my foot and calf. It was intense but in a good way. After the second treatment, I stepped out of bed the next morning with zero pain. I was able to go dancing in the lounge that night! I am so grateful to have found him on this ship. (Linda)
I was struggling to walk down the stairs to the dining room because of my arthritic knees. I was relying on the elevators for everything and missing out on the walking tours we had booked.
Dr. Chen was so kind and explained exactly how the treatment would help reduce the inflammation. After two treatments, the sharp stabbing pain was replaced by a dull ache, and by the end of the cruise, I was walking the track on the top deck. He saved my holiday. (Margaret & Bill)
I’ll be honest, I only went because my daughter insisted. I’ve had chronic neck pain from an old sports injury for 20 years and I thought I’d just have to live with it. I didn’t think needles would do anything.
I was wrong. Dr. Chen is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. After the first session, the stiffness was 50% better. After three sessions, I feel like I have a new neck. I am no longer a skeptic; I am a loud advocate! Thank you, Dr. Chen, for giving me relief I didn’t think was possible. (Robert)
I have always had a nervous stomach, and travel usually makes it worse. I spent the first two days of the cruise feeling nauseous and anxious, unable to enjoy the food.
Dr. Chen’s approach was so gentle. He treated me for digestive balance and stress. I felt a sense of calm wash over me almost immediately during the session. I’ve been able to eat dinner with my family every night since. He is a true healer who listens with his heart.

Insomnia has been my constant companion for years. I usually wake up 3 or 4 times a night and struggle to fall back asleep. I came to the clinic hoping for help with some lower back tightness, but Dr. Chen noticed my energy was low and asked about my sleep.
He treated me for both. That night, for the first time in a decade, I slept for 7 hours straight. I woke up feeling actually rested. It’s changed my entire vacation. I only wish I could pack Dr. Chen in my suitcase and take him home with me!(Sarah)
I arrived on the ship unable to lift my arm past my shoulder without wincing. I had been dealing with a frozen shoulder for over six months, and physical therapy back home wasn’t moving the needle much. I figured I’d just have to skip the rock climbing wall and tennis on this trip.
My wife convinced me to see Dr. Chen after hearing him speak. I was hesitant, but after just one session, I could reach the top of my head! By the third session, I had nearly full range of motion back. I can’t believe I waited this long to try acupuncture. Dr. Chen is a miracle worker. (James)
