Rising Star Medical Clinic

I owe him a review. My son was only six and half years old when diagnosed with lymphoma. Although he was lucky enough to be treated in Children’s hospital by western medicine immediately, he nearly lost his life due to the numerous of combination of the dosages of chemotherapies and radiation, and the frequencies of the treatments. However, he was still lucky enough to be cured after 8 months of hospital stay yet left with severely compromised immune system.
Right after we got out of the hospital, we were introduced to Dr. Chang. He carefully treated my son for three years to bring his immune system back to as normal as possible. He is now a healthy 28 year old young man in graduate school! Dr. Chang, you are the God send gift to mankind! We are so lucky to have you around. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I was here to treat my irregular period that causes me weight problems. The front lady won’t tell me what is put in my medicine, which comes in bags and you make it into a dark liquid. She said that they never tell anybody what they give us. She told me to just look. But the thing is that they’re a bunch on leaves. I can’t tell what kind!
Also, I’ve been drinking the horrible liquid for half a year. Nothing happened for me!
And she said that she was already being very good to me. But you’re supposed to be nice to your customers!
The doctor always doesn’t want to answer my questions, and always just laughs for no apparent reason. I ask three questions, he only gives one answer, sometimes even just smiling.

I owe this man a review– he changed my life.
Let me first clarify– I don’t believe in traditional Chinese medicine. I have done it before, and the last time I did it, I did it 3 months straight with no results. I swore off TCM then.
However, I have been experiencing major digestive distress. This has been a chronic problem… up to 10 yrs maybe? I didn’t know what «normal» means and felt, and I have just been living with it for years. It’s gotten so bad I was convinced i’m severely sick in my digestive system. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was told I only have months to live because of it.
So I tried to find help. I got too many tubes of blood drawn. I got ultrasound. I repeatedly went to doc to find a solution. Their solution was tests after tests, after test. Everything was «normal».
I was tired of this bs «answer» and I found this man. He simply took my pulse, checked my tongue, took my blood pressure. No blood drawn, no ultrasound. No crazy procedures kaiser wanted me to do. He diagnosed me as «damp». High humidity in the body caused by years of cold beverages I ingested. I got a week’s worth of Chinese herbs. I Sucked it up, held my nose, drank that black, bitter tea twice a day. I kissed goodbye my cold drinks, ice cream, and cold foods. Now I feel 100x times better. I know what «normal» is, I can have a normal life and actually get to enjoy it!
I am a firm believer of this doc. He completely upgraded my quality of life and I cannot thank him enough!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Zhang for a few months now and his office can get busy at times. It’s very inexpensive to get a consult with him but the herbs are pricey. However, Dr. Zhang is always very nice, always smiles and he answers any questions. He must be good because I can see and feel improvement. The sessions only last about 10 – 15 minutes though, because he is so good he just has to read your pulse and he can tell you what is wrong with you. But then you don’t get to ask ALL of the questions you want to ask because it’s so short. But I am happy because it’s working.
You don’t have to make an appointment, you just walk in.

Hands down best Chinese medical clinic in the 626. My parents has been with them for almost 15 years and we have not given one single complaint till this day. I would estimate roughly around 40% of my colds, illnesses, and sicknesses was cured from this very clinic itself!
I would like to share a simple story back when I was still fresh: I was always diagnosed with asthma back when I was young. But after years and years of constant nagging from my family (I was 13 at the time), I was finally dragged in to try out acupuncture in hopes to «cure» my asthma. Like anyone else, I was really skeptical at first but after a month into my therapy, I no longer needed my inhalers for my PE class! Game changer. After about more 2 months, I felt I no longer had asthma anymore because I distinctly remembered I did not wheeze and gasp for air at any expense during exercising. Mind Blown. Whether you believe it or not, I owe my thanks to this clinic and here I am ten years later doing my duty by helping them with this review.
The clinic has been in business since 1990 and has moved around several locations through the years but most all of existing patients still remain loyal to this day. New patients are known by word of mouth single advertisement has been made. From the many times I’ve been here, it’s always packed with people sitting in their vintage chairs awaiting for the doctor’s diagnosis.
Dr. Shao Bin Zhang is definitely a doctor to trust. The moment you talk to him about your conditions, you know he’s being doing this for a long, long time. He always pays close attention to what you have to say and responds with a jest laughter and a smile.
