Ma Kuang Healthcare Group

Waited an hour to see Zhang, was told she spoke English. She did not understand a word I said. Normally I wouldn’t mind that someone doesn’t speak English, except I had been told there wouldn’t be a problem. Then she told me to go see a western doctor, maybe they would understand me.

I’m not the biggest believer in traditional Chinese medicine, but it has worked on several occasions. And since I don’t believe it would work, it couldn’t have been the placebo effect, right?
Anyway, I’ve been to the main branch of this TCM chain several times, mostly because of a badly sprained ankle. They unleashed all their acupuncture fury on my swollen ankle, and it did get better for a while, but then deteriorated into a permanent swell because I became lazy and quit attending follow-​up sessions.
Service is pretty good, and the Chinese physicians are all professional and friendly, which is more than I can say for some «western medicine» doctors I’ve seen. Note that each physician will recommend you ask specifically for them the next time you come, probably because they get a commission or something. But I tend to just let chance determine which physician I get to see
Queue builds up on weekends.
