Dr. Frank Lin is an exceptionally skilled herbalist and your formula is made for you after the consult. Also: his English is excellent,(often a problem with the best Chinese medicine doctors). This place is the real deal, they are dedicated to the healing work.

The pain I was experiencing from fibroids was completely gone after I followed the 14 day herbal cleanse. Just remember: whatever Dr. Frank advises to take out of your diet, KEEP it out of your diet!

This place is magical. The herbs they have is authentic and can cure anything problem your body is dealing with. And when they say to take the herbal medicine for a certain amount of time/days I promise you on the last day of your herbal routine you see the results you’ve wanted.

I came to Dr, Fang with stomach issue (acid reflux, burning sensation, bad stool) that I have had for a while.Dr, Fang listened to me, took my pulse reading, told me what foods to avoid and gave me 10 day tea ration. After 1st cup I felt much better. My stool started to get back to normal in couple of days. After 10 days I felt great.Thank you Dr. Fang!!!

This place is AMAZING!!!! My first visit they welcomed me and listened to my needs and helped me find what I needed. I am from the Boston area and actually came all the back to the city to make a stop at the shop to restock a second time. I wanted to get accupunture but they actually discussed reoccurring treatments would be difficult as that was what was needed. They recommended against it which impressed me because it made me feel like they arent in the business of taking advantage of people. This place is a GEM! The people who helped me made me feel welcome and sincere in their recommendations. I would not miss this place if you are looking for true Chinese medicinal herbs and other traditional self care products recommend by kind, caring, and thoughtful people.

When I first moved here to New York City in 1997 my neighbor took me here and said if you ever need the best Traditional Chinese medicine then come here, it is the best in the city.I never thought I would be looking for help here but, I have been using these herbs since 2014 and am completely satisfied beyond belief. Friends, colleagues, professionals and medical staff are shocked at my results and continued maintenance of my health. I highly recommend Linn Sisters.

They are the best! They have helped my husband and I for many years. We send all our friends to them. If you have a condition that is difficult to treat, they can help. Besides that, they are wonderful people.

My mother ordered Ganmaoling from themFor years - mailed to SC. So when I moved to NYC I stopped in to see the source of her supplement. I found a lovely, clean, modern establishment with the most helpful and kind people ever!! Its fascinating for Westerners to see a real Chinese pharmacy. But also very helpful to have them mix up Eastern supplements for headache or weight loss or whatever ails you!

So ive gone to several doctors 7 to be exact .paid hundreds of dollars with zero results actually getting worse with zero input on what going on. I believe that after my hard work in trying to figure out whats wrong with me God finally put chineese medicine in my head and after googling it this came up. They are very fair priced and if you want to stop wasting your time ,and get your promblems solved this is for you . They are straight to the point but very attentive to you issues I am just so grateful i can be myself again !! I suffer from bloating for almost 10 yrs Im just 23 with a list of issues most promanate is the stomach inflammation.... effecting everything from skin to period irregularity. They prescribed me teas it does tastse very strong but it will solve your promblems

Dr. Lin has the gentlest manner and is a master of his craft.The staff who works there is knowledgeable and helpful, and also extremely warm and gracious. I was experiencing some horrible side effects from a Western medicine my doctor had put me on: my bodys systems, and consequently, my mood and even my mind, were completely out of whack. Dr. Lin not only diagnosed me, but he thoughtfully and respectfully explained what was going on with my body, and educated me in the Eastern view of the bodys systems, which is much more holistic (and frankly, makes more sense) than the Western approach to medicine. All he did was take my pulse and ask me a few questions, but the herbs he prescribed regulated me after ONE DAY... and I had been suffering for SIX MONTHS.In addition to the herbs, there is also a lovely placebo effect-- just being in this store and in the doctors presence will make you feel better. :)Everyone there speaks beautiful English, in addition to Mandarin and Cantonese. My husband, who is Chinese, came with me, but there was no need for him to translate.

I was treated for a brain tumor by the herbalist there and by the mercy of God and the herbs he prescribed to me within 2 months it had gone. I had the brain tumor for 9 years and it was not a change in my condition. A friend brought me here and those herbs he gave me really worked!!

Love this place! They have all kinds of premade herbal medicine as well as authentic dried herb option, and powder version. But I dont recommend Kakkonyu for a cold in summer, but I recommend the silver lantern in China. In addition to a variety of well-prepared Kampo, decoction is available from original solids to powders, which is reasonable and wonderful from Japan.
