I’ve had the best experience with Stephen at Health Traditions. He’s patient, compassionate, and understanding. I’ve been going here for about four months and have seen significant changes in how I feel and how my body operates. I would highly suggest him to anyone seeking acupuncture!

Im so glad I was referred to Mr. Stephen Bonzak! He is really thorough in the questions he asks and takes the time to listen and covers total body/mind wellness. He has helped me with my sciatica/leg pain and a few other ailments. I drive almost two hours each way to see him and it is worth my time because I was having no luck seeing regular doctors and specialists close to home. Highly recommend acupuncture and the Chinese herbal preparations have also really helped!

Health Traditions has helped me tremendously. I wish more people knew they had alternatives to healing. I’m glad my dear friend recommended me 2 years ago. Now I recommend Stephen Bonzak to everyone!

The best of the best! Stephen has been able to significantly and immediately help with a myriad of health issues for me over the years: back pain, shoulder pain, common cold, plantar fasciitis, bronchitis….basically anything I can throw at him. and they always do a great job of fitting me into the schedule quickly. cant say enough good things and would recommend to anyone.

Stephen is the best in the city for herbs - I highly recommend.

Steven is amazing! I could not recommend him enough as a healer.

First, Stephen Bonzak is a true healer. He has helped me through multiple health crises. Second, I have no doubt that during this COVID-19 pandemic all precautions have been put into place.In short, this clinic is professionally run, clean, near transportation, and you can rely on the health benefits that you’d receive from treatment.

Clean, following COVID safety practices. Received excellent acupuncture and herbal consult services here. Ive been receiving acupuncture for about 2 years, and came here for services for two months while my usual acupuncturist was on leave. Stephen is very knowledgeable about herbal formulas. Happy with my time here and will be back here when my regular contact is taking time off - pleased to have a backup option that I trust.

A very methodical approach to TCM. Very effective, no-nonsense collaborative process. Deeply grateful for this health resource.

I had a great experience at this clinic. Stephen really takes the time to listen to your issues and comes up with a plan. He helped me regulate my menstrual cycle so I could get off the pill without issues. I would definitely recommend making an appointment with Stephen.

I just started visits to Health Traditions 6 weeks ago, now-two visits. Stephen provides a welcoming environment and real concern for my health. I have been taking an herbal prescription for enlarged prostate. The first Rx did not help, now we are on the second Rx. I am experiencing some minor improvements. I trust that we will get the best Rx. I look forward to continued positive results. Stephen came highly recommended from another trusted practitioner.

Dr. Steve at Health Traditions helped me manage a bothersome health condition I had that was going nowhere with my regular doctor. The Chinese Medicine program coupled with seeing a specialist for my condition helped me considerably.

Stephen is awesome! He has a great demeanor, truly knows his stuff, and I always feel better physically and mentally after leaving his office. If you are in need of excellent TCM health care, go see him.

Outstanding! Stephen is very professional, personable. Best herbalists in Chicago. High recommended him to anyone.

Compassioned service.

I have been treating my rosacea for a few years with different practitioners. I am happy to have found Stephen here. It is close to my house, I can always book an appointment and the prices are fair. The service is great and he is very knowledgeable. I’m hoping to clear my rosacea this year with his help. If you are looking for an alternative to western medicine, this is the place to go!

I have been getting treatments from Steve for over a year now. Throughout that time, his treatments have consistently succeeded at treating my health-related symptoms. He is a brilliant and kind practitioner with an extensive knowledge of the medicine. I highly recommend him.

Stephen is awesome. He’s an excellent practitioner and is very easy to talk to. No symptom is too small to mention! I’ve found a lot of relief with digestive complaints and hormonal issues through working with him and I highly recommend.

Dr. Bonzak is a highly skilled clinician. Ive personally seen him successfully address and treat 40 different health concerns in one afternoon. From acid reflux to insomnia, from emotional trauma to poor vision, fertility to menopause he can treat it all. He is a very caring and passionate man who takes the time to understand, treat and explain your health. If you are tired of feeling not yourself, schedule an appointment with Dr. Bonzak!

Stephen is a truly caring doctor and expert herbalist.

Steven has helped me significantly through diagnosis and herbal supplements. Very professional and tuned-in.

I used to have a life-long insomnia problem. A problem that my mother when I was young, nor I as I grew older could solve. With a small amount of tweaks to a herbal formula, Steve had me sleeping at a more normal time of night. I havent had that formula for months and Im still sleeping great.Ive seen him for a couple other reasons, always with very satisfactory results, and I will continue to go to the Health Traditions Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Clinic for any health issue I have and readily recommend Steve Bonzak and his clinic to people I meet.

Steve and his herbs saved me from having to go to the hospital a couple of years ago and Ill always be grateful! I work long hours, which is taxing, so I take herbs regularly, to stay healthy and happy. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of Steves care.

You will not find a more qualified or highly-trained practitioner of Chinese herbal medicine in Chicago. Stephen is both very professional and friendly, and I highly recommend him.

In May, 2016 I had surgery for ovarian cancer. Afterwards, my surgeon said chemotherapy would be of little or no help and I was eligible for hospice!Fortunately I got a second opinion at U. of Chicago Medicine. I had chemotherapy, then radiation therapy. Also, Stephen Bonzak of Health Traditions prescribed herbal vitamins to support the chemo and help my immune system fight the cancer, then to prevent side effects from the radiation. I have had almost no side effects, just hair loss (it has grown back) and fatigue.Two and a half years after surgery, I am in complete remission! My U. of Chicago doctor said I had done remarkably well. A lot of the credit goes to the U. of C. doctors, but I think a lot of the credit also goes to the oriental medicine prescribed by Stephen Bonzak. Most of the people with my rare kind of ovarian cancer (pulmonary type) would be dead by now.

Steve is an awesome herbalist and practitioner of Chinese medicine. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Best place ever! Thank you for helping me and our son!

I attribute the improvement in my health and life over the last couple years to many things and would count Health Traditions/Steve Bonzak high among them. I first sought treatment relating to stress and constant colds/flu-ishness which was unusual for me. I can happily say I am better able to manage stressful moments, I am no longer constantly fighting colds/common ailments, my body has stabilized a thyroid nodule, I am at my ideal BMI and my female cycle is approaching normal. I have been a recipient of Chinese Medicine for years and would tell you that not all practitioners are equal - I would highly recommend the natural approach you will find from Health Traditions/Steve Bonzak for balancing your health and body.

Working with Stephen has really helped me. I have sluggish metabolism and some thyroid complications, and his treatments helped both issues, significantly. My primary care doc even noticed improvements in my blood tests.

Very professional service ,thank you .

Very professional, respectful and helpful.

Health Traditions offers personal and professional care.

Service was great, just a bit expensive
