I have been bringing my mom to the clinic for almost two years and she has always felt heard, respected, and relaxed in their space. Patricia has been providing her with steady treatment (herbs and acupuncture) for a number of health issues. Patricia always listens to my mom’s concerns and goes above and beyond in offering helpful suggestions and insight. I highly recommend the Alamo Heights Acupuncture, everybody is amazing!!

This review will be a little long, but I want to give some detail as it might help someone else. Today (July 2019) I am a 56 year old man that after more than a year of having increasing nerve pain in my right arm I went to see Patricia Lew as a last resort in May of 2016. I was not able to sleep more than 30 minutes at a time, and the pain would wake me up. I could function without pain during the day, but every time I would lay down to sleep, the pain would come back. A side effect was my right hand was losing strength, and I couldn’t make a fist at that time. Also, I had numbness on the tips of my ring and middle finger. My Dr. prescribed a nerve pain medication along with an anti-inflammatory medication. He recommended Physical Therapy after a year of increased dosages and increasing pain. I was getting very desperate for sleep as bags started developing under my eyes. The PT assessment was thorough, and I started with massage and exercise sessions. The exercises I would do at home increased my pain substantially, and after a couple of weeks, I told my therapist that it’s not helping and is just increasing my pain. She told me that I might actually have carpel tunnel and they were also trying to eliminate the possibility of a shoulder or elbow problem as well. She said she understood why I decided to stop the PT and said that surgery might be my only option if I have carpel tunnel. My wife and an alternative medicine doctor suggested that I try acupuncture, and my wife set up an appointment for me with Dr. Lew. Keep in mind my desperation at this point, and while I do believe in natural medicine, I would say that I would not be a believer in acupuncture at that time. Shannon welcomed me at my appointment and made me feel very comfortable while waiting for my session. When Patricia Lew saw me, I explained what was happening and my experience at PT that didn’t help and she said “They can’t do what I can do” with complete confidence that she could help me over a few NAET and acupuncture sessions. I later told my wife that I thought she was pretty “cocky” for a person as young as she was, but I Had nothing to lose. Well, this is where the best part of my story begins for me. After that first session, I have not felt any nerve pain in more than a year now! I think of Dr. Lew as an angel that was sent to me when I didn’t know what else to do. I have never really thanked her, and I want to say THANK YOU with all my heart for what you were able to do for me, Dr Lew. She made a believer out of me, and I did six sessions total, and she was able to also help me with anxiety that I was having when trying to sleep because my sleep pattern was so messed up. I was able to quit all medications that same week. Today, I am sleeping well and still pain free. I just realized the other day that the numbness in my fingertips is now gone too. My wife went to see her recently due to pain from a running injury that hasn’t improved any over a few months. She said her pain level was an 8 when she went, and after three sessions, it was a 2 and still improving. No pain now after six sessions, and she is now starting to run again. If you are considering acupuncture, don’t wait as I did. Hopefully, you will also have positive results.

Saturday was my first time ever trying alternative medicine. When I woke up the next day I glanced in the mirror and thought to myself “wow, my face looks younger.” Then I looked again and realized… my rosacea was gone!!! My face hasn’t been 100% clear in years! If this is a sample of what is to come, I can’t wait to see where I’m at after the next few treatments!

My son was cut deeply by a piece of glass. He was seen in the ER then sent home with orders to pack the wound daily for a week and take heavy painkillers. The pain killers did not help with the pain. The next day, I took him to Ms. Lew for a NAET treatment. She treated his pain using me as a surrogate. That evening his pain was significantly less. The next day his pain was gone! We were all amazed. These treatments are definitely worth it.

My story is simple. Mid 50′ with frowns, wrinkles & crows. What a difference facial rejuvenation has made me look & feel about myself without any surgeries. My eyes pop too! In fact, this year for my annual eye appointment, I was wondering if the doctor noticed he didn’t have to raise my eyelid much as he has done in the past. I did! And I love it! All my thanks is to Patricia! What a gift she has been blessed with. She is brilliant with a wonderful personality & practice. Don’t miss the opportunity she has to offer.

Since going for NAET treatments from Patricia Lew, I have much more energy and my regular headaches stopped. Also, the pain from my three bulged discs, which shot down my legs past both knees, has gone away. This is all such wonderful relief! So, I took my daughter who has been having terrible headaches and stomach aches. Those pains have been reduced by 75% with only two appointments! NAET has truly helped us to feel better!

Patricia really helped me with my sugar cravings. I used to eat one bite of something sweet and I wanted more and more and more until the whole thing was gone. I would think about it all the time and would pick sweets over real food any day. It has been about ten days since my sugar treatment and I ate part of a muffin today and left the rest. I don’t even have the desire to finish it. That is something that never would have happened before NAET. It really works. Thank you so much. I also had a serotonin treatment and b vitamins. My mood and energy level are much improved. Thanks to Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimation Technique and Patricia again. I can’t wait for my next treatment.

After seeing my blood pressure creep up to alarming highs in the past few years I was very pleased to see it drop significantly after having Patricia treat me for a few visits. Treatments along with taking her advice to practice deep breathing techniques seemed to do the trick and help me avoid having to take any medication for it. Truly grateful!

I’ve had issues with lightheadedness and balance. By the time the door opened for me to leave after my first visit to Patricia, I noticed the difference: no more issues. Lightheadedness vanished! Balance restored! And so it’s remained. I’m very grateful.

Since I’ve started sessions with Patricia, I’ve noticed several things change. Physically and emotionally, I feel stronger and healthier. My first cycle after getting treatment was less painful and normal in length. As a pleasant by product of getting treatment, I can handle stress much better. My anxiety has definitely lessened. Finding and working with Patricia has been a blessing.

I like to say that acupunture was something new for me, I have being sufering from stress pain, trying to lose weight, unbalance hormones, depression and anxiety, I went to see patricia as my last resort, and to my surprise, the first time I when in with lot of pain in my neck , shoulders, joints, I had so much pain in my heels that I couldnt be standing. And after the first session my pains were gone for good. I walked out of there very relaxed with no pain.

Patricia treated me for vitamin B blockage because I had no energy to do the normal things I do, and after the first treatment I feel much better more energy. she also treated me for my sugar cravings, and my hormones, and after my second session I feel really good. And what can I said about my weight: I already lost 4 pounds in only two visits!

I feel much better and I am looking foward to the next sessions because I know I can feel even better. I could not imagine acupunture and herbal medicine were going to help me this much! I HAD KNOWN THIS, WOULD HAVE DONE IT LONG TIME AGO !
