WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT TAM DUC TMC TEAM

Dr June is very thorough. She takes time, every time to check progress and clearly communicates what’s happening and what to expect. I received results for a problem I’d been having for a number of years. I travel 30mins to get to Tam Duc but it’s definitely worth it. I highly recommend Dr June and her team for any health challenges you may be having.

I have several problems with my leg and hip. I went to see Doctor, took medicine went to physiotherapy but it did not help me much.
I have never done any acupuncture before, As I am quite sceptical about it. Therefore it was challenging for me to visit Dr. June.
After a few sessions of treatment, I feel much better and will continue the treatment.

Dr. June’s calm, caring demeanor and her extraordinary listening skills impressed me from the first visit. After a comprehensive history, she provided me with a plan for acupuncture and Chinese medicine that would help balance my whole body and not just address areas of pain. Every visit, she follows up on my progress and advises next steps. It’s takes me 4 hours every visit (drive across the city, treatment, and drive home) and it’s the most worthwhile four hours of my whole week. I recommend Dr. June highly for whatever ailment you have.

Very friendly, warm and hospitable team. Dr. June and her assistants are really a capable team. Was given answers to the many questions I asked and was guided through the process very well. I did see benefits arise in my lower back pain alleviation after the first three visits. Highly recommended for first time adopters of this age old therapy (Acupuncture)

Tam Duc Traditional Medical Clinic is a cozy and welcoming clinic with friendly and well qualified staff who take care of you from the moment you step in.
Personally, I have been suffering with upper back problems caused by bad posture and repetitive work for a number of years.
Dr June’s treatment was able to alleviate pain through electro-acupuncture and cupping techniques, along with a hot herbal pack applied afterwards.
After suffering for so long I’m really happy to have found Dr June as she’s helped where other methods (deep tissue massages and chiropractic adjustments) weren’t effective.
I would 100% recommend Tam Duc Traditional Medical Clinic to anyone who has muscular pains like myself.

Fantastic service, friendly staff, professional and goes above and beyond with care.

I came to Tam Duc Clinic to help me with my upper back/shoulders/neck issues. I have had pains for many years and Dr June and her team did an awesome job.
They are very gentle and helpful. Dr June is very patient, careful, and she took the time to question me and listened to me in order to help and treat my back.
After over a month of treatment, I feel way better and recovered more mobility in my back/shoulder area and I’m very grateful for that! I recommend this clinic that is a safe place for speaking and healing.

I feel so lucky that I found this place. Since December 2018 I’ve been suffering from numbness and a swelling in my left middle finger after cutting in my finger with a big knife.
It’s has been a true journey to recovery since then with a lot of downs, until I found this amazing place. Before I found them, I visited many different hospitals that couldn’t help me. Told me to live with it.
But I was reminded about the annoying numbness every single day. Because it’s your finger, you use it all the time. And it’s my dominant hand.
I visited Tam Duc Acupuncture Clinic and finally I heard “Yes we can help you”. That was such a relief. Thank you so much Dr June!
I couldn’t believe that anybody could still help me with this issue. But Dr June did. She’s really amazing and super helpful. Very friendly and really taking the time to listen to what happened.
I already experienced improvement after only 1 acupuncture session. But since it was not a recent injury, I ended up having maybe 7 or 8 sessions.
Now I’m at the point where it’s solved thanks to Dr June. It still feels like a miracle to me. I feel so relieved knowing that I don’t have to worry about this issue anymore. I just can’t describe in words how thankful I am. We had a goal of getting back to 80 or 90% of my finger’s feeling and we achieved that within a month.
They’re always very welcoming, taking the time to talk to clients. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking to finally get rid of your pain and worries! Where normal healthcare like hospitals tell you “No we can’t help you”, this place goes against them and actually help you to get back to enjoy your life. Again, thank you so much. I’d also like to thank the other staff who are also super friendly!

I am extremely happy with Dr June and the care I have received at the clinic. Dr June is very professional and skilled. She has been able to help me recover from several ailments when no other doctors were able. I strongly recommend her clinic and both she and the staff are wonderful.

First-class traditional medical treatment. Cured severe back/neck pain & healed damage from chronic inflammation
I received acupuncture treatment and herbal medicine from Tam Duc Traditional Medical Clinic over the last 4-5 months after suffering a painful back injury plus tissue damage caused by chronic inflammation. A serious infection in the urinary tract or possibly intestines caused my immunity to attack tissue and caused reactive arthritis which was debilitating and left extensive tissue damage. Dr June at the medical clinic provided effective treatments and has restored my health.
Why Traditional Medicine?
Initially I sought medical treatment at a western hospital in HCM before getting traditional medical treatment. After multiple blood tests, urine tests, MRI’s, CAT scans, x-rays and ultrasounds – testing for diseases, cancer, arthritis, gout, rheumatism and a host of other medical problems, I was diagnosed with having reactive arthritis in addition to the back injury I sustained. The western hospital staff were unable to isolate the cause of the serious infection but thankfully resolved it with a combination of antibiotics over a 6-8 week period. To address inflammation and pain I was given tablets – some not approved by the US FDA. The anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) and medication for improving circulation caused serious side effects including severe swelling (edema) of my feet which made it impossible to wear shoes or walk properly, and it also damaged small blood vessels in my feet and ankles. After 3-4 months I didn’t want to endure side effects caused by the medication anymore and was increasingly concerned about the risk of permanent internal organ damage, so I decided to find a safer and more effective alternative. I knew acupuncture worked really well for many ailments and was told about Tam Duc TMC. Making that first appointment was the best decision I ever made.
Tam Duc Medical Clinic Staff
Dr June (actually Dr Dung Nguyen, but simplified for western patients) provided my medical treatment. She is an exceptionally talented doctor – very knowledgeable and experienced in acupuncture and herbal medicine. She is very professional – attentive and listens carefully to the problems/concerns, clarifies diagnoses, discusses treatments she will provide, and monitors you during the treatments. In addition Dr June is a genuinely caring, warm and considerate person. She is also fluent in Vietnamese, Mandarin Chinese and English.
Dr June applied a range of traditional Chinese techniques: acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, warm-needle acupuncture, and herbal medicine. The techniques varied for different parts of my body, the nature, complexity and severity of the damage/pain, and at different stages of the healing process. Dr June takes a holistic approach to looking at your body condition and level of health, and doesn’t simply address the symptoms when determining the medical treatment required.
How many visits, or how long, did it take to resolve problems?
I know some patients have their ailments fixed within several sessions, and pain relief can be during the treatment or the next day as the body’s Qi works. I had multiple problems – serious tissue damage from the inflammation, edema, damaged veins and chronic pain, so my treatment and recovery naturally took much longer than other patients. When I was being treated often muscle and joint pain was reduced quickly (within minutes, next day or after a second session). Fixing the seriously damaged tissue was a progressive process (not unlike getting other alternative complementary therapies) that involves repairing nerve, muscle, other tissue damage, plus restoring flexibility and alleviating pain. After each session I could see and feel these improvements.
Positive Results
After several months of treatment Dr June has effectively removed the pain and helped me regain the flexibility in my back, neck and feet. When I first visited the clinic I could barely stand up and walk, bend over, turn my neck (and could not sleep properly and had to brace my neck to get in/out of bed or to turn over). But after the acupuncture treatments and herbal medicine over the last 4-5 months I can happily now walk again, turn & tilt my head freely, plus bend and lift up things.
What’s involved? Does it hurt?
Most people seem reluctant to get needles. I was no different at first. But these are really fine needles, not like those used on syringes. Some needles you can’t even feel going in, some are like a regular injection, and a few hurt a bit momentarily. But the pain relief and healing far outweighs a few seconds of any pain you might endure. In a double session Dr June used about 15-30 needles in my neck, back, hands, wrists, feet, legs at various points along the meridian lines – some shallow, some deeper. I lost count of how many needles I had in total during my treatment over 5 months, maybe 700-1000, a few hurt, but I was always determined to get more because each session was progressively mending my body.
The acupoints where the needle goes may be muscles (especially knots), tendons, ligaments and joints etc. With standard acupuncture a single needle is often placed in a spot for a few seconds. Other times needles are placed in a different part of your body than where the pain or damage is – these are linked by a meridian, and then you move/exercise that part of your body that has a problem for 10-20 minutes to help the Qi (energy flow). With electro-acupuncture pairs of needles are used and a very mild current passes between the pairs needles to stimulate the Qi. The needles remain in you for 15-20 minutes. With warm-needle acupuncture the needles are placed in the acupoint and heated by a flame to conduct heat deep into the tissue for 10-20 minutes. Aside from the medical benefits, acupuncture it’s an incredibly interesting phenomenon to experience and learn about. I am still fascinated how needles in my thumb on my right hand remove the pain in my left big toe and all in a matter of minutes.
As for the Chinese medicine – its blend of herbs varied through my treatment – for reducing inflammation, improving blood circulation, detoxifying the body, pain relief and basically removing blockages in the Qi and helping restore the body balance.
The clinic
A word about the Tam Duc Traditional Medical Clinic. The clinic has a relaxing positive atmosphere and a pleasant aroma. The staff are all very warm and welcoming. The clinic is extremely clean and staff are extremely conscious of hygiene – always wear face masks, routinely wiping surfaces with antiseptics, constantly changing gloves and washing hands, and carefully discarding used needles (BTW – needles are high quality, sterile and only used once). And one nice touch is that they serve you small glasses of refreshing herbal tea during your visit. Every visit was a pleasant experience.
Final comments
I’m extremely grateful for the successful treatment I received. Without question I highly recommend Dr. June to everybody. She has a plethora of knowledge and skills for healing anatomical, physiological, psychological and emotional conditions.
