Modern Integrative Medicine, San Diego CA

In 2019 I was told I had HPV and I couldn’t believe that the doctors didn’t give me any more information as to HOW to clear this virus. I was told to pretty much sit around and wait. I took matters into my own hands, started listening to podcasts reaching out to Holistic practitioners and started feeling hopeless as my HPV went from LGSIL to HGSIL despite all of my holistic protocols. In 2022 after multiple OBGYN’s told me the only option was a colposcopy and offered no other options (I want to have child in the next few years and didn’t want my cervix scrapped). I finally found Dr. Chan and started a protocol and I can finally say my most recent pap has gone from HGSIL to no intra epithelial lesions! Our goal is still to get me to completely HPV negative and that’s what we are working on now but I can’t recommend her enough for anyone in my position who feels like our healthcare system has no non invasive treatments for HPV. She has given me so much hope!

Dr. Chan is an extremely professional, knowledgeable and a gifted expert in naturopathy. She is caring and compassionate. I have been seeing her for one year and have achieved positive results. For almost three decades, I have lived with an autoimmune disorder that affects my gastrointestinal (GI) tract. I also have anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

The progress has been phenomenal. My GI symptoms have substantially decreased and I am feeling more at ease. I am definitely on the road to recovery physically and psychologically. During the past year, I partnered with Dr. Chan using comprehensive tools that target holistic health: mind, body and soul. Methods and techniques include prayers, meditation, energy healing, Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), herbs, vitamins and supplements.

Dr. Chan customizes and personalizes each session to suit my needs. I am grateful that I am in a much better place!

I had started suffering from chronic hives for over 2 years after I had my first kid. I had tried everything, including daily antihistamines, dermatology treatments, all kinds of rash creams, if there was something that was advertised to help, I tried. Nothing seemed to work. My quality of life was terrible, I couldn't wear jeans, tights, or any clothing for that matter. I scratched during my sleep each night, sometimes those sleepless nights were so miserable that I just stopped trying to sleep altogether. I was gaining weight and feeling groggy from taking so much Zyrtec everyday. My PCP told me that some mothers just have to endure and live with chronic hives forEVER. After failed dermatology visits where my skin was poked to treat bacterial infections and prescribed steroid creams caused a vicious cycle of itch/scratch/cream/more cream, I finally decided to see a naturopathic doctor.

I was skeptical at first, not knowing what to expect, but my family background has three generations of Chinese traditional medicine doctors, so I had to have some faith! Dr. Emily Chan was able to tailor a treatment plan based on my symptoms. She prescribed me a combination of herbal medicine and supplements, and within a month, my hives became manageable, to the point of perhaps one breakout per month, and in a less severe manner.

After my second child, during weaning, my hives came back, and a week later, I was also diagnosed with bell's palsy, which is a temporary paralysis of the facial nerve. I saw Dr. Chan again, and she prescribed me additional herbal medicine and supplements to help with my hives and nerve damage. Within a week I started to see improvements in my facial movement. After a couple more weeks, my bell's palsy had resolved by 80%. My reoccurring hives also slowly started to get better, after four weeks, my skin breakouts have come to a minimal.

I am so grateful to Dr.chan for helping me to get my life back. I had given up hope that I would ever be able to get rid of my hives, but she was able to help me when no one else could. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is suffering from chronic health conditions.

Here is a summary of things that I appreciate about Dr. Chan:
-She took the time to listen to my symptoms and concerns.
-She was thorough in her diagnosis.
-She created a treatment plan that was tailored to my individual needs.
-She was patient and understanding.
-She provided me with follow-up care to ensure that I was getting better.

At my last appointment, Dr. Emily helped relieve the pressure and pain I had on the side of my face. She instructed me on breathing, visualizations, and using sounds while focusing her hands-on healing on these areas. I've learned a lot from her, especially in different meditation approaches and visualizations. She has helped me manage stress and pain.
