Dr Licai is the real deal - she’s a western MD + eastern functionalist (in my opinion the best combo you could ask for!)As I lay here being induced with my second (long awaited, given less than 1% chance of existence) baby I can’t help but be so thankful to her for everything that she’s done!I have a condition called diminishing ovarian reserve (DOR). My RE provided some grim stats and recommended we start thinking about donor eggs. I refused to believe that because at 37 I still had hope! So I found Dr Licai through some FB group page recommendations and a review someone with a similar to my condition wrote. (And this is why I think reviews are important and I so wanted to leave one!)Dr Licai told me to take a step back, take a break and get my cycle back in order. We started with accupuncture twice a week and customized daily Chinese herbs/teas. We did this for about 6 months as my body was slow to respond. My cycle finally stabilized if only for a few months and during those months I was able to do two egg retrieval cycles: one produced 0 eggs and the other cycle produced 2 eggs - both were fertilized and one of them made it to 5 days!!!!! I just couldn’t believe it!! We froze it and implanted it a year later. I am now 39 years old and delivering this baby any minute now :)Dr Licai is not only a top notch acupuncturist who specializes in fertility - she is also very knowledgeable in the overall process of infertility. She was the one who encouraged me to change my lifestyle: stop drinking alcohol and caffeine, start being more active, eat less sugar and processed foods, and start eating more protein (I am almost vegan but did introduce eggs and some fish to my diet for that reason).I believe that the combination of all of those things is what worked for me! With my low AMH (.015) and high FSH (16.5) numbers not many would’ve taken up my case. But she said we have nothing to lose but to try! And try we did!I am so happy I was able to find Dr Licai and I hope that whoever is reading this, and possibly losing hope with a condition like DOR or POI, can also be encouraged to try!!! It’s a miracle to an extent…but you do have to put in the work and under great guidance things can work out perfectly!!!Dr Licai is very easy to talk to and she is always available to answer any questions you may have!

This is an amazing place. They are always responsive, even with short notice. And the magic always works. I come in with horrible pain, I leave the place all smiles and happiness. And I was an acupuncture denialist before coming here for the first time. I cannot stress how much this place helped me with my back pain management. Affordable prices too!

Dr. Yang is amazing. I was having really bad back pains and Dr. Yang gave me some herbal tea that has worked wonders. Any time I have problems with pain I ask Dr. Yang first. Nice clean office and very private. Just amazing

I would use their services again and again! Dr Yang was just amazing....I was looking for an Accupuncturist for a while and I prayed for the Lord to lead me to the right place. First day I went to Dr Yang’s office I felt at peace. Prayer and Chinese herbs=miracle.... I am blessed today with my 4month old baby

Dr Yang is a wonderful doctor! She is dedicated to her job, she listens all your concerns. After, not having successful pregnancy for four years, my miscarriage, I ended up in her office, and this was the best decision what I did. In the second month of treatments, I was pregnant! I felt so safe, and strong during my whole pregnancy, because I did acupuncture every week. I recommended Dr Yang to all my friends. I would recommend her acupuncture services to anyone! This is the place to go!

I have been treating with Dr. Yang for approximately 3 months. My fertility journey began approximately 2 years ago. I was diagnosed with PCOS, bilateral tube blockage, and uterine polyps. I was advised my only treatment option to conceive was through IVF. After having my uterine polyps removed, I proceeded with my first retrieval round of IVF. I produced 7 follicles that yielded to 6 embryos. Unfortunately my embryos stopped growing at day 3, 2 days prior to my transfer day. In preparation for my second retrieval cycle, in which I was advised the protocol would yield to less follicles but greater quality. I knew at this time I wanted to do things a little different and use additional treatment support to optimize my cycle. I did a little research and found a few facilities that commented they specialized in fertility acupuncture. I came across Dr. Yang and noted she also specialized in medicinal herbs. I met with Dr. Yang who was very knowledgeable in both IUI and IVF. I treated with acupuncture and herbs for 3 weeks prior to beginning the stimulating medication. In 3 weeks my retrieval day arrived. I produced TWICE as many follicles as my first cycle!!! ALL were fertilized! My doctor decided given my history he would transfer 3 embryos on day 3 as oppose to day 5. I continued my acupuncture and herbs as recommended by Dr. Yang. I am currently 6 weeks, and 6 days pregnant with my little miracle baby!!! I also have 3 frozen embryos. If you, like myself, are looking for fertility treatment though acupuncture and herbs, or looking for support treatment for your IVF or IUI, please I urge you to consult with Dr. Yang. I cannot say enough about her knowledge base, awesome bedside manner, and willingness to educate her patients.***edit*** I am a proud mother of a little guy born on 6/13/2019. Once again, I cannot thank Dr. Yang enough

Dr Yang is the best in Chicago for fertility accupunture! With IVF, I also Incorporated her accupunture twice weekly with her recommended herbal teas daily. I began 1.5 months prior to my transfer and continued until I was 13 weeks. Pregnant with twins! Dr Yang is a gem! If you are struggling with fertility, go and see her!

I strongly recommend Dr. Yang, she is the nicest doctor I have ever met. She cares about patient, provides different treatment opinions according to patients condition, makes our dream come true. I had my second IUI procedure together with Dr. Yangs acupuncture and Chinese herb treatment, I successfully became pregnant. In order to make sure I successfully went through the first trimester, Dr. Yang gave me a lot of support. My baby is really health according to all the ultrasounds and blood work results. And my due date is November this year. I am super thankful to Dr. Yang!

Very unsatisfied with this doctor, he all but mocked me when I told him I was experiencing extreme fatigue. He sold me a weeks worth of herbs that were pretty expensive. I didnt feel the need to pursue any further and did not return. Do not recommend.

Dr. Zhanhai Zhang, has treated my back pain on several occasions. I first went to him about 6 years ago when I had a sudden attack of sciatica and a locked back; I could not walk. He made a special trip for me on a Sunday to treat me, and I will never forget his compassion and concern. After my first treatment, I felt immediate relief and after several more visits my pain subsided and my nerves have calmed down. After that episode, I neglected to continue care with him because I felt pretty good. Slowly over time I started having chronic sciatica problems which recently landed me in the emergency room.I went back to see him with an MRI report in hand and I in tears. He assured me that he can get me back to feeling good and after a few visits, my nerves have calmed down. He has also been treating me with herbal medicine for another condition and after a few weeks, my condition has vastly improved. Hes so wonderful and I couldnt recommend him enough.He has an impressive background in schooling and I dont feel that you can find a more knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy Doctor and acupuncturist in the city. I will continue to see him for maintenance, because I dont to experience the problems Ive had again. I was initially referred to him by my sister who was seeing Dr Yang with help regarding fertility issues she had for years. Im happy to report that Im a proud aunt of a little 6-year-old nephew and a 4-year-old niece. I wish I could share this little secret with anyone suffering from chronic pain (or having trouble with fertility). Thank you Dr. Zhang!

I found Dr Yang after a failed IVF cycle at a local fertility clinic. She told me she didnt think I needed IVF, despite having low ovarian reserve. I started seeing her weekly and drinking her teas, all in preparation for another IVF cycle in a couple months. 3 weeks after my failed cycle, I got pregnant naturally, with her help, and have continued seeing Dr Yang/Zhang throughout my first trimester. Im 13 weeks now with a healthy baby and I cant thank them enough. I will continue to see them weekly for my chronic back pain. I highly recommend them to anyone struggling with infertility - and drink the teas! Add honey and it gets better after a few times!

Review №13

I got pregnant after 3 months of going to Licai, and now trying for a second. Two other women I know, who experienced years of infertility, got pregnant after going to her. Yes, her teas are expensive, but I lowered my FSH drastically after taking them. Well worth it!Update 2017: I got pregnant again! This time it took a little longer (4 months), but Licai encouraged me and, right as I was considering purchasing donor eggs, I got pregnant naturally, a less than 5% probability based on my fertility dr.s opinion. He was astonished, since my numbers were pretty bad and I was not eligible for IVF.

As a regular patient of Dr Zhang and his wife for 15 years I would recommed their services to anyone. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Whether the health issue is fatigue, allergies or fertility or anything really you wont regret your visit. I have been to several acupuncturists throughout the country, as my career requires that I travel. Hands down, without a doubt Dr zhang is the most knowledgeable acu-doc that I have experienced. ...and the most affordable. Personalized individual sessions given by experts in the field at maybe the best rate in the city. I wouldnt recommend any place over them.

Review №15

I had never really considered acupuncture for anything until my husband raved about Dr. Zhang & his acupuncture treatment in the midst of his serious health scare. It was basically life changing for him. So when I ran into my own health issues, I decided to see Dr. Zhang as well and Im happy that I did. Not only was the treatment relaxing and therapeutic in a way, considering I fell asleep during my appointment, I also received some herbs to follow up the in-office visit. I honestly believe that it helped me improve my conditions and I ended up attending a second visit.Again, the second visit was relaxing and I fell asleep, but afterwards I felt good, calm and focused. I also inquired about a new concern and Dr. Zhang gave me some advice for natural remedies I could try at home. He was very attentive and listened to my concerns for each visit and did not rush me or make me feel like I wasnt a priority. I appreciate his help and care and respect his advice and will more than likely be back again. For anyone seeking a REAL, holistic approach to treatment and not just some quick fix band aid treatment, I would definitely see Dr. Zhang. He is highly qualified and knowledgeable in his practice and I dont think youd be disappointed.Also, remember that your problems cannot go away in one simple visit, you must take initiative to be consistent and take the advice of the expert you seek to expect full benefit. I wish the best to anyone seeking to improve their quality of life and adopting a holistic lifestyle change :-) From me & my family, thanks Dr. Zhang!!!
