As with any medical service, we make no claims to cure. We ask that patients be prudent and realistic. Chronic internal medicine disorders, in particular, may require a longer treatment plan, patient compliance, and regular communication between patient and practitioner. Traditional Chinese medicine care should be integrated with Western medicine where appropriate and we advise seriously ill individuals or those with potentially complicated disease to seek credible advice and to work closely with and ask detailed questions of all of their health care providers.
