Dear Dr. Chernly, Grace, and Staff,

Thank you for the exceptional care you give; for your compassion; for your willingness to go the extra mile; and for always interacting with your patients with the highest degree of professionalism.

May God bless all of you and keep you in good health.

Sincerely,

 

Addiction (TOP)

Dear Dr. Chernly,

I am taking this opportunity to send you a letter to thank you for your help. I would love for you to let your clients read this because I sincerely believe in you and in acupuncture.

I am going to give a brief history of my life in the past four years - of my struggle and  battle with cancer. I was 32 years old. Since that time I've spent more than 400 days in the hospital recovering from surgeries, blood clots, chemotherapy and even a bone marrow transplant. I felt like my body was operating on a 60 to 70 - percent energy level - and I suffered from fatigue and nausea daily. During the past four years, I had become dependent on pain pills because of the extreme pain from the chemotherapy and was taking around 100 pain pills a week.

After the bone marrow transplant in September 1997. I experienced nausea most of the time and consequently lost 45 pounds. When I met you in March 1998, my cancer had just returned for the fourth time and I had already taken two chemotherapy treatments. I was running on about 60 percent energy and I felt just downright miserable.

I am now 36 years old and have been sick for so long that I had forgotten how to feel well. After seeing you and being treated by you, my quality of life has taken a drastic change. Even though I am still taking chemotherapy, I feel great. I am a person again and my energy levels have almost returned to what they were before I ever got sick! The vomiting has virtually stopped - which is good because my oncologist wants me to gain 20 pounds (I've gained 12 pounds so far). For me to gain weight while undergoing chemotherapy is extraordinary! Since my acupuncture treatments, which I take weekly the day before I do a chemotherapy treatment, I have gotten sick only once. My addiction to pain pills stopped three days after the first treatment and I have remained off them since that time with the exception of one or two that I take in conjunction with chemo. Getting off the pain pills is a major accomplishment. My energy level has gone from 60 percent to about 90 percent. My down time with chemotherapy is only one day, which is a drastic change from the past when I would be sick for four to five days. I feel alive again and that is truly a wonderful experience!

Many factors have helped me get to this point. First is my faith in God and his plans for me. Second is my wife and my love for her, and her help and determination that we will survive. Third is my love for life and everything about it. Fourth is my job and the people I work with and my clients. My job is good therapy for me.

The only thing I would change if I had to do this all over again would be to meet you sooner. Your care and treatment have improved my quality of life so much that I have to speak out. If I would have known you earlier, much pain and sickness could have been avoided.

Sincerely,

 

Allergy

"I has allergy all year long, stuffy nose, sneezing, nose blowing all the time and the congestion causes me bad headache. I started my treatment once a week around mid January. After first treatment, my allergy was much better and I had less allergy headache. At the fourth week, I found myself not sneezing at all lately, which was amazing because most of people around me are suffering from bad allergy due to the weather change. Thanks to Dr. Chung, Dr. Wang and therapists. Now, I am going to try acupuncture to help my lower back pain and quit smoking."  ---- S.D.

 

Back Pain (TOP) (see Dr Chernly's case studies)

"I received wonderful relief from my back pain. This team of Doctors and family members are very good at what they do. If you have never experienced Acupuncture, then try it, you will be rewarded with the gift of reduced paid. I ask the Doctor what is it that works so well? He said it is a gift from God and because it allows healing to begin. I am convinced, you will be also." --- H.L.

 

"I am a truck driver and had been used to having pain in my lower back when driving long hours. With only 3 treatments, my lower back pain is gone. I am still not used to no pain when driving. The result is amazing!!!"  ---- S.D.

 

Dear Dr. Chernly,

It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I write this testimonial to Chernly Acupuncture Center.

For three long years I was in constant pain, night and day. Pain being in lower left back, and left leg from knee to ankle. Normal accomplishments down to almost zero.

After X-ray, mylograms, cat-scans-- celebres, neurotin, each with negative effects.

Then two surgeons, pain clinic and ten weeks of therapy at finally.

Those nights were mostly sleepless, ending in a dreary morning and a day with few accomplishments

After ten visits to Chernly Acupuncture Center, the pain has changed from nine to two, and often no pain. I sleep at night and awaken with energy to greet a wonderful world.

Chernly Acupuncture Center is a giant step toward healing a trouble body.

I am forever grateful.

Our very best to Grace & the staff.

 

Dear Dr. Chernly:

Since July of last year I had been struggling daily with pain associated with a muscle spasm in my back. Before seeking treatment from your office, I received treatment from a chiropractor (some results,) my family physician (no results, even with pain medication and muscle relaxants,) an orthopedic doctor (minor results with injections into my back,) and a physical therapist (again, little improvement.) Frankly, I had almost given up hope that I would ever feel normal again.

Fortunately for me, you opened your office on Harwood. I saw the sign one day while I was driving by and was intrigued by the idea of acupuncture. I had read some about it, even knew it worked in principle, but had never experienced acupuncture for myself. So I stopped in to get some information. your receptionist was pleasant, and offered to let me talk to you right away to get my questions answered. I decided to start treatment the next day.

Immediately after my first treatment (which was relatively painless,) I noticed a small improvement. Although some of the methods were foreign to me, I figured I should give the treatment a chance to work. I am happy to report that two months later I am almost completely back to normal. I actually have days where I don't notice my back problem at all! I honestly feel like if it wasn't for the care administered by you and your wonderful staff, I'd still be suffering today. Thank you for helping my body to heal. You can be certain I'll recommend your practice to anyone I meet in need of relief from pain.

May God bless you and your staff.

Sincerely,

P.S. The three treatments you provided to my pregnant wife to help alleviate her headaches were literally God-sent. Not being able to take any medications, she was constantly in pain due to sinus pressure. Acupuncture allowed her to feel almost normal again (as normal as you can when you're pregnant!)

 

Hi Dr. Chernly and Grace!

What a blessing you all are to those who suffer.

Thank you for your kind touches and caring.

(Even though the kind “touches” are 10 inch swords in my back! ^_^)

I want to tell you – your support emotionally as well as physically during this time of intense pain meant so much to me.

And – the most miraculous event has occurred in my life – HE has touched me!

That is why I have not needed to return for treatment.

Sunday morning (I had been with you for 2 treatments Sat.) – I went to church – in much pain. After church a friend put his hands on my back and prayed for God’s healing touch. Instantly, I felt warmth radiating and I felt as if another “presence” was within me. It was the Holy Spirit. I could jump up and down and twist and bend and I am perfect now.

If I begin to feel a tightening or an ache in my lower back, I ask the Lord to take it away and it is gone. I am free of pain and totally mobile and complete range of motion! Blessed be the MOST HIGH GOD!

“I am the LORD that healeth thee”, Exodus 15:26

“And the prayer of faith will heal the sick and the LORD will raise him up.” James 5:15. Thank you for your ministry of healing hands as well. I know you were praying over me as you worked on me.

In Him

 

Dr. and Mrs. Chernly,

Thank you both for all that you have done for me. I pray that God would bless you and your family. You both have been such a blessing to me.

 

Dear Dr. Chernly:

I would like to express my profound appreciation for your compassionate professionalism and the expertise with which you are treating my pinched nerve.

When I initially consulted with you on March 25, 1999 I had been informed by an orthopedic surgeon following an MRI that the only satisfactory method of treatment would be immediate surgery and the general prognosis was less than favorable due to my previous two cervical operations and my spinal fusion. I was disabled and had been unable to perform the most basic needs known to womankind – that of styling my hair and dressing in less that excruciating pain!!

Three months of uncertainly led me to you. Having completed approximately 50% of the treatment regimen you prescribed, I am performing limited range of motion activities with the left shoulder and arm and have every confidence that I shall be fully functional when my swimming instructor specifies … I feel reborn to say the least!!

This high standard of care and dedication to patient well-being is exceedingly rare in today’s climate of managed health care. Accordingly, I would also like to commend the efficiency of your entire staff for the genuine concern they dispense with unfailing cheerfulness and dedicated competence – “Team Chernly” has EVERY REASON to be proud.

Again, please accept my sincere thanks.

Kindest Regards,)

 

Dear Grace and Dr. Chernly

I want to thank you for the wonderful results of my visit and treatment. Two days later and I had no symptoms of pain in my back! I will come back again because during the ice storms I slightly re-injured it again. I have told many people about you and hope my friends will experience acupuncture through your excellent care.

Thank you again for the marvelous results!

Sincerely yours,

 

Dear 陳醫師 and Grace

您們是主所派來的天使,在我們最緊急,最需要的時候,體會主的恩典,主的大愛─透過您們。若不是主預備了您們,我們真不知如何渡過那一段又急又亂 packing的日子,您們用服事神僕人的心來待我們,我們深覺不配,也無法報答。

願主親自報答您們。

其實我們並不是 ”享受” 您們的醫藥,我們更 ”享受” 您們的友誼與信任。
尤其聽您們述說神的恩典及祂奇妙的作為,更覺得您們的家是神活生生的見證。

我們與您們一同有感恩與敬畏的心,將榮耀歸給神。

 

Dear Dr. Chernly

A short note to say thank you for your wonderful treatment, for my sciatic nerve problem, and to let you know I am fully recovered.

I am a working testimonial to your expertise and professionalism. You are congratulated for the wonderful service you perform.

 My best wishes and prayers to you and your family

Headache (TOP) (see Dr Chernly's case studies)

Thank you Dr. Chernly,

After all the "Election Stress" Nov. 2nd,  I took a terrible cold, with a headache that wouldn't go away, even with medicine which I loathed to take. On Nov. 17th, with one treatment in your office, and a massage with Stephanie, who was by the way excellent, I slept without the recurring headache, Wow!

Thank you very much again.

And I will be thinking of you all!

 

Infertility (TOP)

Dear Dr. Chernly & staff,

We can not thank you enough for all you did for us last fall. After several years filled with miscarriage, heartache and too many infertility treatments to count, we thought we would try acupuncture before giving up our hopes of being parents. We were lucky enough to find you and your clinic.

It is still unbelievable to us that after trying so many other things, we became pregnant within the first month of acupuncture treatments. What a blessing! And now our long awaited prayers are answered and our little Katie is here.

We wish you continued success in helping other couples become families as well. We look forward to seeing you next summer as we begin plans for Katie’s little brother or sister! Thank you again.

Forever thankful,

 

 

Given to us by God above,

 A darling daughter for us to love

Dear Dr. Chernly and Grace,

Hello from Valdez, Alaska where I have survived another winter. I am writing to say THANK YOU for your services that I received while in Texas. To refresh your memories I am the woman who was going to Charlottes massage school. Your treatments worked. I am eleven weeks pregnant, very happy, and very grateful. Thanks again for balancing out my system.

Sincerely, (See Dr Chernly's case studies)

Dear Dr. Chernly,

I would like to thank you for the acupuncture treatment I received Dec. 27th.

I have not had any pain in my knee since then. It feels wonderful.

I thank God that my daughter, Melanie, found you and that your treatments are really helping her. She really thanks the world of you and Grace and all the girls that work for you. If I lived in Texas I would come for a treatment all the time. I have been telling all my friends about the acupuncture and they all want to go now for a treatment.

I would appreciate it if you could recommend someone in the New York or Connecticut area that does acupuncture.

Thank you again and God Bless You

Regards to Grace

 

Neck Pain (TOP) (See Dr Chernly's case studies)

Doctor Chernly:

Thank you for the wonderful treatment you have performed on my neck. As you know, I was told to leave the accounting profession and resort to surgery. Thanks to you I have had the least painful tax season since 1979 when I originally injured my neck.

You are truly a blessing from God! : )

 

My Pain is Gone!

In February '99 an MRI indicated I needed a third neck surgery for a severely pinched nerve affecting my neck and totally disabling my left arm. I simply could not go through that again. The severe and unrelenting pain made sleep impossible in spite of all the medication I was taking!

I started acupuncture treatment with Dr. Chernly on March 25th, a day I won't forget. By June, 75% of the mobility and NO PAIN!

Acupuncture works!

 

Other (TOP)

(Dr. Chernly, I am profoundly grateful to you and thank you from the bottom of my heart, for the accurate diagnosis you made on my condition. So far no one has helped me in the medical community!

I am waiting on an appointment with a Dr. of infections diseases, and only pray that I will receive some relief.

I will see you again after this is all resolved. If you have any other suggestions, please call 817-xxx-xxxx. Thank you again.

PS. Will write to my Congressman!)

 

Subject: Happy Patient

Dear Dr. Chernly:

This letter is to acknowledge Dr. Wang, Lucy, Mrs. Chernly and Office Staff:

You all are one of the most professional groups of individuals that I have had the pleasure of meeting in a health care setting. I am a Registered Nurse with over thirty years of experience in the Emergency Department as a Director. Teaching sensitive customer service was a primary project for me in our hospital where I worked for those thirty years. You and your staff should be teaching the emergency department personnel how to treat patients. In my last position I worked with person's in over 365 hospital emergency departments thereby being able to identify above excellent delivery of customer service.

Dr. Wang is wonderful. She sat at the initial meeting and interviewed me in a most professional manner. She listened carefully and then told me what she was going to do. She took care to see to my comfort at the time of each of my visits. After the first treatment I felt significantly improved as I did at each subsequence visit.

Lucy (with the Magic Hands) is, as I am sure you must know, absolutely outstanding in her delivery of the therapeutic massage. She always paid special attention to my personal comfort. Needless to say I felt 99% improved after the total body massage.

From the first time I called for an appointment, and received one the same day, the office staff has been great. Entry and exit of the system was done very smoothly. Mrs. Chernly always greets me with a smile. The cleanliness of the environment is to be commended.

And lastly to you Dr. Chernly...you always have a gracious smile. Thank you for providing the Acupuncture Center for all of us who need your wonderful service.

Best Regards,

 

Dear Dr. Chung-Hwei Chernly

We want to thank you for all the help you were able to give our mother.  We will remain forever grateful to you and your staff.)

 

Ovarian Cyst (TOP)

Subject: Thank you!

Dear Dr. Chernly,

I just wanted to thank you for everything you have been able to do for me.

I cannot imagine what it would have been like  to go through surgery to have ovarian cysts removed.

In my recent follow up visit with my Gynecologist, she commented on how amazed she was that the cysts completely disappeared within a months time. She even asked for your card to set up an appointment for herself!

The benefits of your acupuncture went far beyond what I'd hoped for, and I am grateful!

The rest of your staff is wonderful. Please convey my thanks to all of them as well.

Thank you and best regards,

 

Sciatica (TOP)

Dear Dr. Chernly

A short note to say thank you for your wonderful treatment, for my sciatic nerve problem, and to let you know I am fully recovered.

I am a walking testimonial to your expertise and professionalism. You are congratulated for the wonderful service you perform.

My best wishes and prayers to you and your family.

Sincerely,

 

Weight Loss (TOP)

Dr. Chernly,

Last Sat., May 11, 2000, I had my first acupuncture treatment for weight loss. I have been feeling badly for about 6 years now.

I have always been overweight. I was born a 7lb. baby, but by 5 yrs old, I got about 30 lbs overweight. I gained 100 lbs when I started my periods at 11 yrs old. I got married and got on the pill, I gained another 120 lbs.

In Feb, 1981, I had a stomach stapling, (gastric partition) at the San Diego University Hospital. I lost only 45 lbs, when I needed to lose 165 lbs to be a normal weight. I was on Phen-Phen for 3 to 4 yrs, which just helped me maintain the same weight, but I never lost.

My ankles started to get swollen and on Aug., 27, 1994, I was admitted to HEB Hospital with extremely high blood pressure, tho' they found no ill effects of the Phen-Phen. I have been in this state since then.

I remember as you were beginning the treatment I said "IN JESUS' NAME.' ..and you agreed. It was right then, I knew that this was the answer for me. I FEEL WONDERFUL!

People have asked me if the pills you gave me are drugs, but I know they are not, since I still get sleepy, still rest, but I feel wonderful. I remember taking pills that could keep me up for 2 days!

I have done things I have not been able to do. I usually go to work, get home, sit on the couch, get up to cook, eat, and go to bed. This has been  my life for several years now. I didn't go out in public much, I was just existing! .. WOW. THE CHANGE AND WITH ONLY 1 TREATMENT? I can hardly wait what I will have to say in 6 months.

For now, I will thank you and send all of God's blessings on you and Grace, that you will continue to help us all, and that you and your family have good health and prosperity and all God's blessings have to offer....I will write as we go along.

Smiles,

 

 

The LORD will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible disease

you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you. (Deut. 7:15)

耶和華必使一切的病症離開你,你所知道埃及各樣的惡疾,祂不加在你身上,只加在一切恨你的人身上。(申命記7:15)
