“My daughter has a diagnosis of autism as well as severe dyspraxia. She has limited speech due to aphasia. She has had great difficulty with visual motor coordination and communication has been limited. Moreover, she has been sensitive to various foods and many would trigger mild allergic reactions. On top of this, she also has had a sleep disorder for several years.
We have been seeing Dr. Hao Liu (O.M.D.) for a year now, and have seen very good improvement in several areas. The first thing to improve was her immune system, which appears to be reacting more normally now. She gets appropriately sick with colds etc., not too much or too little. She is also able to handle a wide variety of foods and is able to eat out regularly. She is also showing an interest and taste for a newer range of foods. She is physically a healthier girl now.
Last year, she had been complaining of pain in her neck and back and we found out that it was scoliosis. Dr. Liu (O.M.D.) corrected it within a few treatments. He continues to work on her body alignment regularly during our visits.
Due to her dyspraxia, she has had very poor gross and fine motor skills. With Dr. Liu (O.M.D.) ‘s treatments, she has acquired a nearly normal ability with fine motor movements and is in the process of catching up and learning all the skills that she has missed all these years. Her pen grip is normal, pressure is good and she is able to track with her eyes much better. Her visual perception has also been improving steadily.
Her expressive skills have also improved significantly. She is now able to label much better, and is mastering three to four words a day. We also notice that when she needs to retrieve words from memory or problem solve, she will actually spend time thinking about it. I have seen her, in therapy, and think about a picture for nearly five minutes before finding the word for it. This ability to retain and think about something is such an important skill and so intrinsic to learning and I am very grateful to Dr. Liu (O.M.D.) for bringing this out in her.
We are seeing gradual, consistent progress in my daughter. Dr. Liu (O.M.D.) is very comprehensive in that he also advices us on the kind of activities and teaching methods to use we are able to put together a program that is more effective for her.
Personally, I was suffering from severe anxiety for almost three years. I started treatment with Dr. Liu (O.M.D.) and noticed that the duration, frequency and intensity was reducing gradually. Then, one day, two months later, it suddenly struck me that I had not had any anxiety for more than a couple of weeks! I have been pretty much free of it since then.
My husband once had severe pain in one of his back teeth and the dentist said that it needed to be pulled out but that he could do it only after a couple of days as he was away. My husband saw Dr. Liu (O.M.D.) hoping to get some pain relief while waiting. Instead, the doctor spent two minutes working on him and gave him some pills for his digestion which he said was the problem, not the tooth itself, and that was it. The pain went away, the tooth is quite healthy. We saved a healthy tooth and all the trouble and expense of removing a tooth unnecessarily.
The front office is very helpful and considerate. They have accommodated me even at odd or tight times and gone out of their way to help several times.” – R. G. (Sausalito, CA)
