In September of last year I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy. The severity scale was 4 out 5 according to my physicians. After being told how much they DONTT know about this malady they sent me home with some antivirals and steroids which they said "may help some" but more or less all I could do was wait it out and it should pass in 3-4 months. That deadline came and past and I was not all that far removed from when I was first diagnosed. For anyone suffering from this affliction you know the impact it has on so many different and varied functions of your face and the social impact on your life. After 4 months I was still unable to close my left eye, facial symmetry on that side of my face was still noticeably drooped, and dozens of simple daily actions which we take for granted were difficult if possible at all. It was then I came to Dr. Wong. He immediately instituted a regimen combining acupuncture, with and without electro stim, heat therapy, and targeted facial pressure point massage Within a short period of time we began to see positive results. Through his depth of knowledge , skill at his craft, and talent for discerning the nuances of this affliction we made great strides together. It has been 9 months now and the strides I have made under his care have been amazing. After just a few months as his patient I was able to close my eye on its own and keep it closed at night without having to engage in any of the other difficult alternatives required before. The symmetry of my face has returned to the point that no one expressly looking for it would tell I had been affected by this affliction. I am now at the point that I need only see him every couple of weeks for a "tuneup" and although this has gone on longer than I was told originally I continue to make steady progress and am 90% back to normal. If you or a loved one happens to suffer from this malate I strongly advise to make an appointment to see Dr. Wong as soon as can be arranged. I am most confident that his skills and treatment regimen will make a profound difference for you as it has me., I truly believe that without his care I would not have recovered from this illness to anywhere near the degree I have today.

Dr. Wong is godsend. I have been suffering with severe dry eye and chronic sinus inflammation for over a year. It has made my day to day life miserable. I have been under the care of an ENT / allergist and opthomologist during this time all prescribing medications which have not helped me. After my second visit with Dr. Wong, I can breath with ease and have not used eye drops for 2 days. Before I would have to constantly be putting lubricanting drops throughout the day. There are no words to describe my gratitude . He is also treating my husbands back. After surgery he developed scar tissue which has made recovery difficult . Thank you Dr. Wong. Youre caring personality and expertise has improved our qualify of life.

On Saturday 7/19, I entered the waiting area and was barely acknowledged by receptionist. She presented me with a clipboard and paperwork to fill out . After approx 10 mins she announced to the waiting area that my insurance did not cover PT. 2 weeks prior to the apt I gave my insurance info over the phone and did not hear back from TLC so I expected that ins covered visits. She stated that they attempted to call and leave message on my cell but were unable too???? When I asked if there were any other options the receptionist replied " you can pay $100.00 for the visit/eval". Needless to say I will not be going back to Clove lake physical therapy

Im a lifetime track and field runner (51 years). A couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed with a hamstring tear (4.1cm) at the point of insertion. Its a problem that Ive had for months that shut down my training. It resulted in what runners call a dead leg (i.e. cant get that lift and extension when running). The day after my first acupuncture session I was able to do a 3 mile tempo run with some lift. Ive been coupling this treatment with strength exercises around the gluteus area, but, after 6 sessions, I feel that the acupuncture has been the real turning point. So much so that I am writing this recommendation. Good luck.

After 6 sessions of therapy They dropped the ball so to speak and told me they have to call my insurance for clearance to do more sessions and they will be in touch in a couple days almost 2 weeks later I call to see what the hell is going on and the girl said that I didnt even need clearance somebody in the office made a mistake.then I asked to speak to the dr. To tell him what is going on And they did not let me speak with him even after 2 seperate attempts. In conclusion i asked to be credited for the money I paid for my copays since I have to start all over again with therapy after all the time missed and the woman said no.

I came here for therapy after an accident with 9 broken ribs, 3 fracture vertebrae and all the pain related to these injuries. Needless to say that it has been a long process but, thanks to the staffs professionalism, knowledge and sincere concern Im on the road to a full recovery. From the front desk staff, to the therapists, to Dr Wong my experience has been a pleasant one. Theyve made a difficult time a lot easier to bear and I owe my physical improvement to their dedication. Im grateful to have chosen Acuphysio for my needs and even more grateful to the staff for all their attention and help. God bless.

There are so many reasons to choose this facility. Ive had numerous neck and knee surgeries and have had tons of physical therapy. Dr. Wong and his acupuncture treatments saved my life after a disc was removed from my neck. He helped me regain feeling in my arms and fingers. After a knee injury from a race I came back to TLC and started to work with Greg, a physical therapist in the office who worked with me on therapy, and more currently on nutrition and personal training. Another lifesaver!!! I wouldnt go anywhere else! Thank you Greg, Dr. Wong and some of the best support staff anywhere!

I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Dr. Wong for my chronic migraines which I had for 31 years, I am triggered by any changes in the weather especially changes in the barometric pressure, and nothing has ever helped as much as acupuncture has. I am amazed how much it is helping me, the frequency duration and severity has all lessened and I am so grateful to Dr. Wong!!! The staff is very friendly and I never have to wait very long, I highly recommend Acuphysio, thank you Dr. Wong!

Hello. I am a graduate of st.benedicts prep in Newark Nj and a current D1 college track and field athlete. I pulled my hamstring two years ago and every since then I have been getting hamstring strains and was unable to compete in alot of races. Yet, with in the first week of my treatments I began to feel an amazing turn around from Dr. Wong. So far I have only received 3 treatments and I already am beginning to feel better.
