Michael's compliments

I have known Michael since before he went to school for Chinese Medicine. He is one of the most dedicated practitioners that I know, and has pursued his education way beyond that of most of his peers.

I have worked with him as a colleague, received treatments from him, and spent many hours discussing Asian Medicine theory and practice with him over the years.

He is one of the most competent and caring practitioners that I know. I recommend him without reservation.

Michael has saved my life...and probably the lives of those around me. I was in agony, misery, anguish, and in an all around bad place. Who knew that acupuncture would work? One session and I could move my neck, two sessions and I can move it even more. I AM IN LOVE!

Michael is simply the best! I have seen him now over the last year and his approach is thorough, compassionate, and best of all, effective. Enjoy, you'll truly be a new person with his help!

Visiting Michael's clinic is an experience one never tires of because of it's total authenticity. His diagnosis and prescribing of herbs has helped me dramatically with almost immediate results. NO drugs and only natural "old world" recipes. Michael serves such wonderful teas that it makes you feel like your symptoms are beginning to melt away. I am so grateful to have a combination of a very caring and sweet soul with an extremely knowledgeable practitioner.

Michael Max gives you the best of both worlds. He is a modern day hybrid of Eastern medicine, and Western wit and wisdom. His depth of knowledge of the Chinese culture and healing methods is extensive. He has the ability to explain his treatments clearly and infuses his healing practice with humor, which enhances an already potent practice. Why go to China when you have a master healer in your own back yard! Kiomi Mount

You ought to work with Michael just so you can watch him write your chart notes (beautiful). I mean, in case his skill with the needles and herbs is not enough.

Stepping into Yong Kang Clinic is like being transported across the Pacific and deposited in a Chinese apothecary with its walls of herbs in carefully labeled jars. And then there's Michael and his little post-it notes in Chinese and the many teas brought back from his annual travels. In other words, authenticity abounds.

I learned that Michael didn't just study acupuncture and herbs, he studied Chinese so that he could read and translate original texts (a translation is soon to be published), and he studied and apprenticed in Asia to gain all the knowledge he could. It shows in his treatments: His assessment was thorough but not rote, analytical but also intuitive. His treatment used few needles in carefully chosen points and had an immediate palpable impact of opening the meridians so energy could move.

I've always loved acupuncture, studied it some myself at one point, and treatment from Michael reminds me of my best experiences with traditional Oriental medicine in Japan and China.

Love your website!

Michael is the best. 8 years ago I tried the "pins" for a newspaper article on him. That little session gave me a strong insight to his skill. Wonderfully considerate, listens to you and you can always get "in" to see him... I highly recommend Michael Max.
