I’ve been seeing Susanne Lea the Acupuncturist for a year And she’s truly phenomenal. I suffer from IBS and Gastrointestinal problems and she has truly made a difference in my health with the acupuncture treatments. Susanne listens, cares about her patients and goes far and beyond to ensure you’re health is better and that you feel better to have more substance in your daily life. I recommend seeing Susanne and giving it a try you’ll be completely happy with the results.

My son could hardly move without extreme pain but after having treatment with Susanna he is back to being a golf caddy! I saw her when I threw my back out and her kindness and treatment were amazing. I sent my husband and co-worker with the same great results! The suite is clean, bright and welcoming. Susanna is kind, knowledgeable and really knows how to help you. Don’t stay in pain, see Susanna

I first went to see Susanna Lea about 6 months ago for a chronic cough that I have had ever since I had pneumonia two years ago. Susanna was the first practioner who I felt truly listened to me and took the time to really break down what is going on with my body. Her diagnostic skills and trouble-shooting of the enigma going on inside me is amazing and she does so system-by-system and with such passion. Susanna is empathetic and so kind, she puts you at such ease and in a blissful state of healing and rest. I have referred numerous family and friends to her, and taken both of my children. Each one comes away feeling so much better than before and I can see the healing taking place with them, it truly is magical!Another of the beautiful things I love is that Susanna is constantly on a quest to seek further information in all she does and her wealth of knowledge is astounding. I need to concurrently give a shout out for her skillful blending of herbs for supporting your body, she is masterful at creating the perfect nourishment for your needs. I would recommend Susanna highly and without reservation, I would put her in the top of her class of acupuncturists. You would be wise and happy to seek out care with Susanna Lea. I know I am and I am much better because of Susanna.

I have used acupuncture for the past 16 years from the west coast and now from NC. Dr Lin is helping me maintain my life as an 84 yr old! Her office is spacious and comfortable. She asks questions and then provides relief which to me was important. I am impressed with her background and training. I certainly recommend her expertise and knowledge..

Neck, shoulder, shoulder blade, carpal tunnel, numb fingersA year ago I started to feel everyday pain on my right side of my shoulder blade then it moved down to my shoulder which continued to move down my arm which caused pain in my wrist which led to numbness and tingling in my fingers (thumb, index, middle finger). As days went by the tingling and numbness in my finger worsened. I would wake up in the middle of the night and shake my hand and massage my wrist to feel relieve but of course that did not work. I started taking ibuprofen just to sleep during the night which it did help for awhile but then after a while ibuprofen did not work. The numbness and tingling was non stop 24 hours a day everyday.I decided to go see a chiropractor and told him my situation and started treatment for months. I would notice the relief in my fingers for 2 days max then the numbness and tingling would reappear. As the months went by I decided to continue with the chiropractor but also try physical therapy. After a year I was told by the chiropractor that I would have to get an MRI and cat scan to figure out where I had a pinch nerve. I didnt get an MRI or cat scan due to him not being 100% and I would have to pay out of pocket. The pain was so bad that one day after the gym I told my husband I couldnt take the pain anymore. I remembered someone telling me if I have ever tried acupuncture for my pain. I remember looking at them and saying do you really think that would work. To be honest I was skeptical but willing to try anything at this point.Thats when I found Susanna Le at Southern Village. She was able to see me the same day I called and I couldnt be any happier. I gave her a run down of all that was going on and what the chiropractor and physical therapist told me as well as did to me. After looking at her notes she explained what she thought could be happening and what she was going to do to help me. I remember laughing a couple of seconds later due to the pain in my rotater cuff gone, I couldt believe it. I was so happy I wanted to cry because the chiropractor had told me I would have that pain for the rest of my life.In the beginning I would see Susanna Lea 2 times a week then it became once every 2 weeks. She also proscribed some herbs for the circulation which helped tremendously.Today Im able to get a goodnight rest and sleep through the night. The numbness and tingling in my fingers are gone. Im able to use my right hand which I was not able to before. I have lost muscle but I know that I can train and in cooperate arms/shoulder/back is getting strong again.Thank you Susanna Lea for what you have done and continue to do. You are definitely improved my life.

As a massage therapist, I love that Acupuncture treatment activates the body’s self-healing mechanisms.Li Lin is so knowledgeable and has the ability to always assess my problem(s) and treat it appropriately. She has been able to stop my pain cycle when nothing else would. She also can provide herbs to help when needed. Last fall I had my first allergic reaction to poison ivy. My primary care gave me a shot and cream to treat it but nothing worked. After 4 days of itch and pain, she resolved it within minutes. I didn’t even know she could treat that. I highly recommend her to my clients, family and friends!

I respect Dr. Lin. She has years of training: a PhD from UNC, five years of training of Chinese medicine in China, and a master in acupuncture. I was chronically ill with respiratory infections... Many years. With acupuncture and Chinese herbs, and mostly her insight, I no longer have sinus problems, Im breathing better, and the list goes on. She has been treating my digestive system and alleviating distress of irritable bowel syndrome. She is working to clear my liver. She communicates with my integrative M.D. and they work in conjunction with one another. Im being cleared of so many chronic problems, I am truly amazed.

This is a great clinic. The clinic is very different from the community clinics that I am used to (more of a Western Medicine environment) but, the doctor is exceptional and, her treatments are incredibly effective. She is one of the best acupuncturists that I have been to and, in my opinion, the best in NC. I highly recommend this clinic to both those who are familiar with the practice, as well as those who are looking to try it for the first time.

I have had a wonderful experience with SVA & H. I was in a very bad vehicle accident October 2014. It was a 5 car pileup where a big truck decided to run over me and 3 other vehicles. Just after the accident I felt paralyzed on my entire left side, but the feeling went away after a few minutes and then the majority of the pain was in the area of my left shoulder, arm and neck.Nothing was broken but muscles and ligaments were badly damaged, torn, bruised and separated because of the impact. After a 6 1/2 hours of surgery the doctors had put me back together.Though after several months of recovery and then going to physical therapy twice a week for 8 or 9 months after surgery, the pain was still constant and mobility was limited.I was referred to Dr. Lin by a friend. After just a few weeks of acupuncture treatment I notice a drastic change in mobility. Initially I could not raise my left arm level with my shoulder without help and excruciating pain. But with Dr. Lins acupuncture treatment I was able to lift my arm up without any help but with some pain though not as severe as before.After a few weeks more I was able to lift my arm over my head without any help and do any and every arm motion that I was able to do before the accident. Pain-wise before Dr. Lins treatment was at least a constant 6 or 7 if 10 being the worst. Pain-wise after Dr. Lins treatment is 0 to 2. Meaning sometimes I have no pain and then sometimes I do.The logic behind acupuncture is that by virtue of the needles being strategically placed it stimulates healing in the affected or damaged areas.I can attest to you by virtue of my experience that acupuncture really works, I have no reason to mislead or deceive you. I am completely satisfied with my results since coming for treatment at Southern Village Acupuncture and Herbology.Dr. Lin is very kind, caring, and professional. I would recommend her without any hesitationSincerely,Gordon

Dr. Lin has been treating me for chronic fatigue for over a year. The treatments have changed my life. With regular treatments, I have energy and my life back! Her treatments for my knee and lower back have allowed me much greater motion and activity. I highly recommend her. She has much experience and a very gentle manner.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Lin for both her skill and compassion as a doctor. She helped me with my anxiety and depression, especially with their physical manifestations. With her help Ive recovered from sleep issues, nausea, and palpitations. My mental and physical well-being are noticably better after having seen Dr. Lin. The great thing is that she really takes the time to listen to you and discern your needs, and is totally deserving of your trust as you work with her. And honestly I am happy just to know that I already know someone who will be able to help if the need ever arises.

I have been struggling with fatigue issues for years, and then in December had exposure to some nasty mold. I had a list of symptoms that was a page long, including fatigue so severe that at times I could barely walk up the stairs. I also had terrible inflammation in my brain and feet, causing both to feel like they were on fire. In addition, I had vision issues and dizziness. I was a mess when I first came to Dr. Lin. She listened very carefully to my list of symptoms and examined every supplement I brought in with me. Within two weeks of beginning treatment under her care, my symptoms had decreased noticeably, and now I am nearly symptom-free. Dr. Lins treatment of acupuncture and herbs has been incredibly effective for me and I am eternally grateful for her careful and attentive care.

Dr Lin helped my back pain and finger pain, she used acupuncture, magically my acute pain gone in seconds, I can never image it can help me in this way. after that treatment she also taught me how to massage and how to use cup to maintain my pain management, until my pain all healed and never came back again. I also brought my mom for her eye treatment, after I brought her to western medicine, all the meds we tried and failed, we went to Dr Lin, she scripted herb powders, she had about two weeks, her eyes just healed, how amazing. I trust Dr Lin so much, i would like to recommend to anyone who believe in Transitional Chinese medicine.

Dr. Lin is a lovely caring doctor. She was interested in me as a person. I immediately felt at ease and trusted her opinion. I had a tendon problem in my wrist with a great deal of pain. After 4 treatments I am able to play the piano with no pain.Wanda Cottongim

I am grateful to Dr. Li Lin for restoring a quality of life not enjoyed in two years. Sustained stress had resulted in belly pain, bloating, diarrhea, weight loss and a constant need for nearby restrooms. Previous diet changes, stress reduction attempts, and medications prescribed primarily to treat symptoms were minimally effective. Dr. Lins approach of adjusting Chinese herbal formulas to various stages of healing and monitoring additional diet changes and stress reduction focused on long-term gut healing and balance, as well as immediate symptom relief, made possible an extended 2015 camping/hiking vacation.

Dr.Lin is wonderful! I had severe jaw pain with swelling on my neck recently, I cant eat and sleep well, so I went to ER, they did CT scan on my head and neck, found nothing, then they had no idea whats going on there, just let me take pain medicine in home, but I know there is something wrong in my body so I found Dr. Lin and tried traditional Chinese medicine, she treated me with acupuncture in her clinic, my pain relieved immediately and I can open my mouth wider after about 20 mins, she carefully listened all my symptoms and gave me customized herbal Chinese medicine to help me get rid of the pain, it works really good on me! Today is the third day I start drinking, I can almost eat normally and the swelling is smaller, Im getting better now, thats amazing!

For past two years I have been suffering from Adrenal Fatigue. After being treated unsuccessfully by two other physicians and taking numerous supplements, I started seeing Dr. Lin in early February. Almost immediately I saw results but continued my twice weekly acupuncture treatments and daily regiment of Chinese herbs. I can happily report a huge difference and feeling stronger, much improved energy level and feel like I am finally getting my active life back.I also have a family member who is being successfully treated long distance by Dr. Lin. Traveling to Chapel Hill for treatment was not an option. Dr. Lin sends her herbs and communicates on regular basis and makes adjustments when necessary. Remarkably, she is seeing signs of improvement and healing after only two months. Previously, six doctors were unable to diagnosis the problem and yet Dr. Lin was able to diagnose and treat with success.I highly recommend Southern Village Acupuncture & Herbology and Dr. Lin. She is one of the most dedicated, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable healthcare providers Ive ever encountered or been treated by. (And I am in 60s). Graduating from UNC with PhD in Pharmacology and then graduating from Traditional Chinese Medicine, enables her a unique perspective of both Eastern medicine and knowledge of Western medicine. Her ability to listen and then to mix a number of herbs (in my case 10 different kinds ) to formulate exactly what my body needs to heal, is a skill. She is very gifted in this area as well as doing her acupuncture. What a huge difference she has made in our lives in less than 3 months. I feel truly blessed to have found and continue to be treated by her.

My mom was treated recently. by Dr. Lin for her long term knee and leg problems. Having 4 times acupuncture treatments, her symptoms improved dramatically. Several years ago Dr. Lin also helped with my daughters asthma using herbal medicine. After that my daughter has not had an episode yet and never need to use steroid again. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Lin has helped me with my heart issue, kidney issue, and more. She also cured my fathers year-long cough with Chinese herbal medicine. I just wish I live closer to her clinic so that I could receive acupuncture treatments from her more often. I trust her one hundred percent.

I presented Dr. Lin with an array of ailments including faulty digestion, joint pain, and skin rashes, some of which I had been struggling with for years. To my surprise, she totally fixed my digestion in just a couple of visits, and the rashes and joint pain soon disappeared, as well. I now go to her for maintenance and I LOOK FORWARD to every visit! Dr. Lin is kind, entirely un-judgmental, and her treatment is gentle. I always feel she gives me all the time I need, yet, remarkably, there is never any waiting time before my appointment. I am just a few months shy of turning 70 and have an active life style. I want to continue to be able to do everything I am doing now for a very long time, and I do believe Dr. Lin will keep me in the good health I need to do it.

Dr Lin is amazing! She really knows what shes doing and seems to be very passionate about it. I went to her for sacroiliac pain that was so severe it was difficult to walk at times, recurrent oral thrush, and scalp dermatitis. She gave me acupuncture and massage for the sacroiliac pain. After just a few treatments the episode that had lasted over a month was gone, and I have been doing great since. I had already taken 2 courses of Nystatin and 10 days of Fluconazole for the thrush, and it wouldnt go away. The herbs cured it quickly, and it hasnt returned! She also gave extra acupuncture points for the throat pain that helped immediately. For the dermatitis, she gave me herbs, a topical treatment, and dietary suggestions that have been great. I feel excellent. I will definitely go back to her again!

I had ear rining for more than 10 years, Dr. Lin healed it by two acupuncture treatments. She also healed my irregular menses problem lasted for 7 years. Dr. Lin is familiar with traditional Chinese medicine theories from different factions and can combine their theory in her unique way. She is also dare to try and learn different and new therapies.

The acupuncture works very well on me. I couldnt sleep well in the past 2 weeks and I didnt have good appetite. So I came here. Doctor Lin asked very detailed questions and explained what my problems are, how I should cope with them, and what her recommendations are. My sleeping circle has become normal back after only once acupuncture. Highly recommend Doctor Lins clinic.

In less than one year, Dr. Li Lin of Southern Village Acupuncture and Herbology has become one of our familys principal health care providers. Her acupuncture and herbal therapies have produced welcome -- in some cases dramatic -- results in many situations. In the past year, I have fallen twice in my home and suffered severe pain both times. Dr. Lins treatments have alleviated the pain, resolved bruising and restored my mobility. Her herbal formulations have helped to restore and maintain my digestive health, and with acupuncture and herbs she has relieved symptoms of osteoarthritis and chronic upper respiratory distress.Dr. Lins doctoral training in pharmacology, added to her extensive training and experience in traditional Chinese medicine, gives her a broad perspective on both western and Chinese clinical sciences. She is an irrepressibly positive person with infectious good humor and confidence. I will continue to be her very satisfied patient.

Before I started going to Dr. Lin I suffered from extreme physical and emotional PMS/PMDD symptoms that lasted almost all month, and I consistently experienced incapacitating cramping and nausea at the beginning of each cycle. I tried acupuncture as a last attempt to find a natural remedy for my symptoms after traditional doctors told me the only solution was getting on the birth control pill - and Im thrilled to share that Dr. Lin has relieved my symptoms and allowed me to get my normal self back. Her herbal powders and acupuncture have rebalanced my hormones - I no longer experience emotional symptoms all month, and the physical symptoms associated with each cycle have decreased dramatically or been eliminated. Dr. Lin could not be more friendly or professional, and is incredibly accommodating with my schedule. She also has suggested everyday strategies for me to manage my symptoms, and has helped me manage my stress in addition to PMS. Not to mention, her acupuncture and/or herbal formulations have provided relief (often instant!) from headaches, muscle aches, cold symptoms, and the winter blues. Because of Dr. Lins help, PMS no longer controls my life - Im so grateful for everything shes done for me.

Susanna has been so helpful for my chronic pain issues. She really listens and cares. I always feel heard, validated, and understood. The herbs and acupuncture are very helpful. Susanna also does cupping and gua-sha . She taught me how to use gua-sha at home and it’s so helpful in easing pain. The office is professional, clean, and inviting. Susanna is the best, you will love her and the process!

For years I have suffered with acute stomach pains and other health issues, like diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, vertigo, muscle weakness, constipation and anxiety. Had test after test done by doctors, with no real answers, they just want to give you medications that made me feel worse . My cousin in Texas was having acupuncture with great succes, so suggested I try.I looked on the internet and read about the wonderful experiences of other patients of Dr Lin. I have been seeing her for about 3 mos and Im so excited about the progress we are making and how its changed my quality of life. Her skills in acupuncture and herbs are just amazing. She is kind, compassionate, caring and really works with her patients to solve their health issues.Diane - Chapel Hill

Dr. Lin was the one led me to the amazing world of Chinese medicine. In December 2013 I was very sick. I ran high fever, had severe headache, body head, and terrible sore throat that I had trouble to eat, to sleep, to talk not even to swallow my own saliva! The worst park was we had a family cruise trip the next day. When Dr. Lin heard my situation, she met me at her office right away, gave me treatment and customized medicine for me. After I got home, I took the medicine. That night I finally had a good night sleep. After I woke up, all the fever and the aches were gone! I went on the trip with my family! This just tells me that Dr. Lin cares about her patients very much. Also she has extended knowledge about Chinese herbal medicine, so that she could customize the medicine based on what I need at that moment! She is the best! I highly recommend her! 👍

I was treated by Dr. Lin for my stomach ache problem. After just one acupuncture treatment, I was getting much better!! The Chinese medicine she prescribed was also very helpful in treating my intestinal obstruction problems due to previous surgery. She is very experienced and professional!!

Dr. Lin was my primary choice of treatment when I was living in Chapel Hill. Dr. Lin successfully cured many of my health issues including cold, dry eyes, occupational injury, seasonal pain as the residual symptoms from sprained ankles, severe side effects of vaccination and injuries from car accident. She also significantly improved my coughing condition that had lasted for over 10 years.With a doctoral degree of Pharmacy and a graduate degree in Oriental Medicine, Dr. Lin has comprehensive knowledge in herbology and acupuncture. In addition to her expertise, she is an attentive and kind doctor. She optimizes the herbal treatment based on patients condition. She also uses a wide variety of approaches such as cupping, blood letting, thermal therapy etc. to provide her patients the best treatment.Dr. Lin treats her patients with her professionalism and love. I highly recommend her clinic to anyone who is seeking effective medical care in this area.

Great..Great..Great..! I went to Dr Lin for help because my local doctors said there was no cure for pseudo-gout. After a few treatments my knee is no longer hurting or swollen and feels like it hasnt felt in a year. Before this treatment I could barely walk and had to lift my leg to change position in bed, all with intense pain. I cant say my pseudo-gout is gone for good but Im feeling great and that is what matters.I was also treated by Dr Lin for bradycardia, pulse rate below 60. My local cardiologist, who specializes in the heart electrical system, suggested a pacemaker. After several acupuncture treatments my normal pulse rate is now in the mid-60s and above, thats normal range.I may now have to give the good DR Lin an almost impossible task and that is to rid myself of the dreaded Buddha Belly..! :) Its taken years to build...This is actually my second review, the above was written several months ago and I wanted to provide an update. I have not had another bout of pseudo gout in a year which is amazing. I am totally sold that Dr Lins acupuncture treatments have prevented another occurrence of pseudogout, my knee is now pain free even after walking three to four miles. My bradycardia is under control but my Buddha belly is alive and well ;) but working on that through diet. Note: Im an amateur baker so extra hard to keep the belly smaller. I am leaving this area in July and hope to find another acupuncture Doctor as professional as Dr Lin. I will miss her treatments. Thank you Dr Lin.

I went to Dr. Lin seeking help for my PMS ( after going to n number of OB/GYN doctors) for the headaches associated with PMS. Dr. Lin treated me with herbs firs. I took my Chinese herbs for several months but from the beginning of the treatment I felt a big improvement with the headaches and my sleep. Now I am just getting acupuncture treatment. Since I started the treatment wih Dr. Lin my life has change quite a bit. Now I am free of headaches and I can sleep the whole night!! Because of my PMS I got 3 headaches a week and I could not sleep through the night therefore I was very tired mornings, I did not have any energy and could not concentrate very well during the day.Now all this problems belong to the past. I thank Dr. Lin for her help, understanding and that she has been the only Doctor that fixed the problem.Ana

Dr. Lin is the primary physician for my family. Dr. Lin successfully takes care of our family with health issues ranging from the common cold, to sinus infections, joint pain, hypothyroid, high blood pressure, misalignment of the spine, etc. Most of all I have to credit her for probably literally saving my life. Dr.Lin was able to clear my arteries and lower my incredibly high blood pressure, therefore I did not have to undergo the risk of bypass or a stent placement. Also, my brother was visiting me and started complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath, we took him to a nearby emergency room, he was then transferred by ambulance to a hospital known to specialize in heart problems. After two weeks in the hospital and over $31,000 later in bills, he was discharged with no definitive diagnosis nor any solution, and was told to see a heart specialist in the area where he lives. I had an appointment to see Dr. Lin during the time he was in the hospital, explained to her what was going on, and she knew what was going on right away. After his appointment visit Dr. Lin, on the 3rd day of taking the herbs she gave him, he asked me to take him to the park since he was always very active, we walked for a while, then he decided he would jog for a bit to see if he could handle it, next thing we knew he was off and running, we were a bit worried but he did just fine. So, thank you Dr. Lin for taking care of our family.

I came to Dr. Lin for a persisted coughing problem after a cold. She observed my physical well-being at the time with inquiries of my symptom and her sense of my pulse pattern. Then she customized an blended-herbal remedy for my symptom. My month-long coughing was gone after 2 weeks on the herbal remedy!

After years of living with headaches, and migraines - I discovered Dr. Lin in Southern Village. I started seeing Dr. Lin for acupuncture in October 2014, and after the first appointment - - I felt like a new person (no joke!). I had tried acupuncture before, but this was different… and after two or three visits, I noticed the headaches were less frequent, and I rarely experinced a migraine headache. Acupuncture has been life changing for me.. thanks to Dr. Lin.

I met Dr. Li Lin in 2010 in Master Dr. Hai-sha Nis clinic in Merritt Island, Florida. It was in that clinic that my heart failure was cured. That experience gives me great confidence in Chinese Medicine.Dr. Li Lin has been my sole medical doctor since 2012, after she moved to Chapel Hill. I have been relying on her for any health issues. Every time I visit her, she spends at least 30 minutes with me, talking to me patiently to understand my problems. With customized herbal mixtures, she has cured my chronic appendicitis pain, gall bladder inflammation, chronic stomach aches, maldigestion, insomnia, urine-track infection, joints pain etc. About 5 months ago, I was experiencing difficulty swallowing food. Dr. Lin applied acupuncture. After about 5 treatments, the problem went away.There have been times when Dr. Lin does not prescribe herbs nor apply acupuncture to me. She would listen to my long complains and gently tell me that my physical body does not have problems and that the physical symptoms are caused by stress. Motivated by love, she talks to me gently about God, Gods love and Gods power. It took me 2 years to decide to go back to seek God again. Today, Im in good health, both physically and spiritually.Praise God for sending Dr. Lin, as angels hand, to help people like me.

Dense Deposit Disease (Kidney Disease)My 8 year-old son was diagnosed with one of rare kidney diseases, Dense Deposit Disease last summer. He passed blood and protein from his urine. It is an auto immune disorder that there is no cure found so far. Once the kidney does not function normal, the only option will be dialysis every day for the rest of his life. He started to see his nephrologist at UNC and took steroid for a few months last year. His urine started to show the normality afterwards, but he has increased his appetite, gained weight, and got mental irritability due to the side effects of steroid, as expected. Steroid was too much stress on his small body. I was desperately looking for alternative treatment. I wouldn’t give another steroid on his small body again, and I knew it was not the only treatment available for my son. I also didn’t want to wait for his kidney showing the abnormality again to resume steroid treatment in near future. I knew there was something out there to treat my son’s disease. I was desperately looking for a cure.Everything happens for a reason, and getting to know Dr. Lin was definitely the good one. I happened to talk to Dr. Lin about my son’s situation. I had spoken with other acupuncturists in Chapel Hill area; the only response I got was “I’m sorry to hear about your son, but I can’t treat him.” Meanwhile, Dr. Lin confidently told me, “Yes, I can.” I trusted my hunch and decided to try her acupuncture and chinese herbal medicine on him. He started to go to Southern Village acupuncture since early this year. For first few months, I was not sure if it was working on him, but after three months passed, I started to notice that he gained his energy level back and smiled more, ate well, and his urine has become consistently normal. My son has become a healthy young boy back again, just like any other children. I know he will be fine. I know my son will stay good….. Dr. Lin saves his life.I do not neglect the treatment from Western medicine but have strong respect the one from Eastern medicine. Dr. Lin’s educational background of western medicine made her unique and sophisticated acupuncturist. Overall, she believes and has love and passion in Chinese medicine. She loves what she does. She loves to help people in need.Dr. Lin emphasized that the most important thing is to “prevent” from becoming sick and keep his kidney healthy. Prevention is the key. My son needs to keep his immune system strong to fight with illness. We continue to see Dr. Lin for acupuncture and her herbal medicine, and we follow the diet as she recommended for my son. And we will make sure to treat him properly when he gets cold or flu. Dr. Lin emphasizes that the cold causes another sickness when treated improperly.We will periodically see our pediatric nephrologist in UNC (who is also awesome!) to monitor if his kidney functions normal; while Dr. Lin takes care of his chronic condition to be controllable. I hope this prevention tactics is effective on my son for a long period of his life.I feel honored to have reliable doctors from Western and Eastern medicine. Both medicine and their doctors are equally amazing and good, but Dr. Lin will be always a part of my family, and her presence will be a big part of our life.Dr. Lin, thank you so much for saving my son’s life and thank you for keeping him and us smile and happy. I can’t thank you enough.

Dr. Lin was my primary care provider when I was living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Dr. Lin has the characters one could expect from a health professional: knowlegeable yet humble, intellegent yet patient, with a kindred spirit who truly cares about her patients. She completely treated my migraine as the post-concussion syndrome using cupping and bloodletting in 2-3 visits. The migraine never came back since. Her herbal powder worked wonderfully on my seasonal allergy and cold. I was fortunate enough to have such a great doctor taking care of my health. I have been recommending Dr. Lin to my friends and colleagues and will continue to refer her to anyone suffering from chornic or sporadic diseases.[Updated: 201903] I have continued consulting Dr. Lin even after I moved to other states. Dr. Lin is truly a rare find who has a kindred spirit and expertise in acupuncture and herbology. Our family is blessed to have Dr. Lin.

My first treatment was yesterday for my chronic lower back pain. Just amazed what a difference it made! 24 hours later and pain is minimal compared to what it was. Looking forward to my next treatment. Thanks Dr. Lin !
