I learned of Dr. Koh from a colleague who said her acupuncturist worked miracles on her neck. I remembered how much pain she’d been in and how much better she felt after visiting the New Hope Healing Arts office when my Rheumatoid Arthritis had crippled my hands to the point I could no longer button my blouse or pull up my socks.
Beautiful Joyce welcomed me with her gentle grace and Dr. Koh made me laugh, putting me at ease right away. I explained that I had tried every known over-the-counter pain medicine, which lead to my Barrett’s Esophagus (a pre-cancerous condition), then had been on a course of chemotherapy injections to lessen the pain in my hands, but I rarely got more than a day or two of relief and the side effects made me quite ill. He assured me he could fix that, and all my health complaints, that it wouldn’t cost me more than my insurance could cover, and that he really cares about his patients. I thought I was just getting a bit of self-salesmanship, but I was willing to see if he could stand behind his words.
To start, my fingers are disfigured from years of Rheumatoid Arthritis, and the pain was just getting worse. Bending them was excruciating, like trying to use broken bones. I could no longer wear my wedding ring or any rings for that matter. But, I got relief after the first visit. The pain was gone for a whole day. The next visit, the pain relief lasted three days. After the first month, for the most part, the pain was gone! Now, three months later, I can say Dr. Koh does work miracles. I am pain free, and he’s improved my general health with herbal medicine. When my Rheumatologist saw my fingers, the reduction in inflammation, and halt to the disfigurement, he was pleasantly surprised and took Dr. Koh’s card so he could suggest New Hope to his patients. It’s rare for a doctor of Western medicine to see the evidence that Eastern medicine works and become open to it. I felt proud of my choice of Dr. Koh!
He has proved to be generous, thoughtful, conscientious, funny, warm, and a fantastic practitioner. He’s as good as his word. I’m sticking with Dr. Koh to turn the years back and give me the health of my youth. I am confident he can do it.
