Clinic Naturae 《開運中醫》

  I came in with so much pain from a herniated disc, and was feeling desperate for some relief!I was able to be (almost) pain free for a week and afterwards... read more I didn't need to use as many meds. Dr. Cheng is a true healer. She has great bedside manner, and a great sense of humor. She is kind and very caring. She was so flexible in accommodating me in her schedule, I owe her so much! I feel blessed to have found someone who truly is gifted in their craft! I highly recommend her!

  I chose Clinic Naturae based on the reviews and proximity to my office at UCLA and I am so very pleased and grateful! Dr. Cheng is one of... read more the most knowledgeable, gifted, peaceful, and centered practitioners I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She listens and offers sound, thoughtful advice. As talented as she is with the use of needles, her words are just as important needles. Her touch is practiced and sound -- I feel honored to be in her care.

  I've had acupuncture before and found it to be an effective treatment, especially when I get recurrent lower back pain. This clinic and Dr. Cheng far exceed the others I've... read more been to. First, it is located in a wonderful modern clinic that is very relaxing. The clinic is easy to find on Wilshire Blvd., and I slipped into a parking spot on the street just around the corner. Even if you don't live near Westwood, the building is close to 405.
Second, Dr. Cheng is outstanding in determining placement and treatment modalities. She also includes essential oils if you like, which I found excellent. My issue was enormously improved. You should really find out what 21st-century acupuncture is like!

  I am completely new to the idea of acupuncture, and I have become "enlightened" after having two sessions with Dr. Cheng. Even after the very first session, I just couldn't... read more believe how much better I felt just so immediately!

I'm a professional musician who always have dealt with chronic neck and shoulder pain, and I also recently have experienced a minor car accident that caused a terrible pain on my lower back and the right side of the hip area.

Dr. Cheng kindly guided me through and performed some absolutely magical treatments that made my shoulders get softer(!) and my hip to function normally again!

It's absolutely amazing to see and feel the difference, and I feel very thankful that I got to meet Dr. Cheng.

  First thing I said when I got to this clinic, I said WOWOW..

I am Japanese and I have been to many acupuncture in my life since I was... read more little due to my shoulder pain.
Most of the places were into old Chinese and Japanese exteriors using incense, but I never felt really clean. I always felt inhaling the dust and stuff.

I truly appreciate all the work they have done for me. but I had a belief that all the acupuncture clinics were like that.
so when I walked inside this clinic I was shocked.
It is so organized, super clean and modern.
Well,, not only I was amazed the cleanliness of this place. The Dr Cheng.
Holy Cow.. She improved my vision.

I was referred by my friend and she told me that I was going to love everything about her.
Oh yes.. my friend was super right.
I never met any Drs who has so much bright loving cheerful energy and and and who can listen to me.
It is important for me to be understood not just stick the needles where I feel pain. She was spot on all my problem areas and she was so gentle and just kind.

She explained the details what she was going to do and she kept asking me how I was feeling. She really made me feel comfortable and so special.
I felt I was being really taken care of.. We all need " Me time" right?
I didn't feel like I was at the drs office I was more like getting beauty treatment. It was definitely " My Special Time". She took really care of me.

After I finished my session, I said to Dr Cheng,
"Oh my god Oh my god I can see much better, everything looks super clear."

I didn't go to treat my vision.
I have been sitting too much and too much computer work and my shoulder and back pain was 6 or 7 out of 10.
Not only my pain, but she took care of my blurry visions too.

I have been suffering from Glaucoma and it was another reason I was going to acupuncture before but I could not handle the pain even there was no needles on my body. so I stopped going to acupuncture.

but Dr. Cheng completely changed me.
She took my fear away, pain away.
I am super thankful to my friend who introduced me to her.
Now I have a Dr I can really count on and trust.
Thank you so much. I am super content and happy with my result.

  Her treatment was really amazing.
I got the acupuncture to get rid of my shoulder pain. I didn't feel any pain during the treatment. And my shoulder pain... read more was all gone and not only that, I felt so refreshed and the swelling of my face was reduced after the treatment.
Thanks to her, now I am able to take care of my son with my best condition. The clinic is bright and clean. The doctor is nice, thoughtful and proficient.
I'm sure that she will cure your troubles.

  I came across Dr. Cheng on Yelp and she has far exceeded every positive glowing review! I reached out to her before scheduling and she was very communicative and open... read more to answering the initial questions I had. I have now been seeing her weekly and it's truly a highlight. I feel myself improving with each session and leave there feeling grounded and relaxed. I cannot recommend her and Clinic Naturae enough.

  I came to Dr. Cheng in hopes to improve my overall well-being as well as reproductive health. I've worked with many providers before and what really stood out is she... read more took the time to truly understand my needs, ask probing questions, performed a detailed examination, and educated/involved me in every decision. I felt like we were a team. I also felt like she has reasonable expectations- which allowed us to create a plan that was easy to integrate into my daily routine. I felt grounded and energized after my acupuncture session with Dr. Cheng. I highly recommend Dr. Cheng- but don't steal my appointment time!

P.S. Dr. Cheng is meticulous about clinic safety and hygiene. I felt very safe in her space and was confident that covid precautions were taken seriously.

  As part of my aspiration toward a healthier lifestyle, I was grateful to have the opportunity to experience a acupuncture and cupping session with Dr. Cheng. Having turned 55... read more in December and being a cancer survivor, my primary life focus is on my health, happiness and well-being. Dr. Cheng has contributed to this goal as a compassionate doctor who can produce "magic" in a minute through her skill and understanding of a patients needs. I told Dr. Cheng about the tension I often feel in my shoulders and neck, and she expertly placed the needles which melted away my tension and left me feeling relaxed and wonderful. I also loved the cupping massage which reduced the lactic acid in my tense back and shoulder muscles and left me standing taller from better posture. I am a fan of Chinese and holistic medicine, and was pleased to experience this session with Dr. Cheng. I will be adding more acupuncture sessions to my wellness plan and highly recommend Dr. Cheng's treatment for overall health and/or pain management.

  Dr. Katherine was kind and patient and she took time to listen to my medical history etc. Her office was very large and clean with air purifiers.

I... read more felt really relaxed during the treatment and the effect was there right away. I have been to other acupuncture but it usually takes several sessions to have an effect but with Dr. Katherine, my neck was actually better right after she did some needle work on me. I was surprised I could turn my neck without any pain while driving home from the appointment which was impossible to do before my visit.

The doctor said she will send me a superbill so I can submit to my insurance and get reimbursed for my visit. Super helpful.

You can check out her website for the parking map. It was helpful to know all the free parking choices in advance.

As I was leaving, she was wiping down everything. It's good to know how the office was kept clean and felt safe to be there even during Covid time. Doctor has office all to herself so you don't have to worry about meeting other patients. It's a complete private space.

Overall, it was a great rejuvenation for me. I took a little break as a mom and went back recharged. Anyone in pain or just need time to relax, I highly recommend to see Dr. Katherine.
