C F Clinic

I have lived in San Gabriel valley for over 30 years. I have tried numerous doctors in the area. Dr. Hu is hands down the best. For the past 7 years he is the only doctor I trust and use. Even though I live in Orange County now I still drive down to seek treatment. If you are looking for eastern medicine then I strongly recommend his services.

This review is based on my personal experience. and I Highly NOT recommend this place.
A friend of mine recommended this clinic to me, and told me Dr. Hu was good. I called to make an appointment, and asked if they take insurance. They told me to bring my insurance card. I did. And upon arrival, they copied my insurance card, drivers license and other personal information.
And I thought that was all they need and I can receive treatment, because Dr. Hu guided me to the room and started treating my issue. BUT after like 1 minute or 2, during the treatment, he told me that I need to pay him full amount first, cash or check. I responded that I do not have that much cash on me. He stopped the treatment and insisted that although I have provided my health insurance information, he does not know if the insurance company will pay him or not, so I have to pay him full amount, and if my insurance pays he will refund me. And he only takes cash or check, so I need to go to a bank, get cash, then I can come back for the treatment. If not, he refuse to treat me.
I was like, I wasn’t told this when I made appointment. and I wasn’t told this when I provided you my health insurance & personal information. Now asking me to find a bank, get cash, and comeback for treatment is just ridiculous. I refused. So I ended up not getting any treatment. I will definitely not come back, no matter how good his skill is.

I was about to write a review on CF Clinic and I saw the review by Eye H. I totally agree with him/​her. My symptoms did not get improved after two visits. At the third visit, when I asked him why I didn’t see improvement, he was not happy with my question and responded with unprofessional answers. To me, this was pretty rude of him. Highly NOT recommended. I wish I could give zero star here.

This review is based on my personal experience and I have no hatred towards the doctor. It may have worked for other people as written by those who gave 5 stars here. But it definitely didn’t work for me. He used Tuina massage and acupuncture for my issue. During the treatment, I felt relieved and the pain was almost gone. However, after a day or two, the pain came back again. He charged me $ 120 for the first visit and $ 110 for the subsequent visits. To me, this is too pricey. I had visited him 4 times and he still could not relieve my pain. In short, to me (in my case), he is NOT a real thing and I will never go back again!

I met Dr. Hu doing Tai Chi at a park in Alhambra and was introduced by a true Wing Chun practiioner who was paralized from the waste down from a car accident. As a result, he was wheelchaired and doctors explained to him he would probably never walk again, and that only surgery could provide a chance of walking again (could make it worse too). After many many months of weekly treatments, my Tai Chi companion was able walk again. Because of this story I decided to try Dr. Hu in 2010 for knee pain I’ve had for 18 years since the 5^th grade from a basketball accident. Upon visiting, he examined my knee to find the problem. When found, he massaged my entire leg to loosen the muscles and tendons. With his thumb on just below my knee cap I felt a tiny tendon I never knew existed, and then with one light pull on my leg the tendon disappeared and after than my knee felt A LOT better. I asked if I needed to go again, and he said only if it continues to bother me. ONE visit to heal an 18year issue? Amazing. However, don’t expect one visit to help on most cases. This proved to me he is not a fake. This man is a real master.
Because of this I recommended my wife to see him for her knee problem. She could no longer squat down due to extreme pain from childhood injury, and Dr. Hu said it would likely take about 6 visits to solve. After 4 visits, my wife’s knee is 95% better and she finally believed me. She did not want to spend the money, but now understands how important is was to see Dr. Hu. Dr. Hu is not the cheapest, but I believe you will not find anyone better.
Don’t be cheap on your health.

I went to this place based on my friend’s good recommendation of Dr. Hu. He told me that Dr. Hu was able to solve a muscle problem in his leg that he had for years. For me, i had a shoulder injury from tennis. So, i went to a well known physical therapy clinic in Glendale for around 2.5 months. Unfortunately, even after all that time they were not able to solve my problem, so i went to CF clinic. Dr. Hu was able to diagnose my problem just by looking, touching, and feeling. After around 4 sessions of therapy, my shoulder is 95% back to normal. I’m very impressed, as Dr. Hu does treatments that are not regular physical therapy… he uses combinations of suction cups, needles, electrical stimulation, heat, and strong massages/​pressure to resolve your problem. I agree with the previous reviewer that if you have any soft tissue type sports injury, you might want to go to Dr. Hu. One thing is Dr. Hu’s English is not so great but i was able to get my message across and he understood what i said. As for the pricing, it is somewhat pricey, but I think for his knowledge and experience it will be worth a look.

Very effective. Had 2 treatments for golfer’s/ rockclimber’s elbow. (I have had treatments off and on for the last 30 years for this injury…).
However, his fee of about $ 90 is higher than the going rate. Am going to revisit Dr Wu in Alhambra today and see how her treatment works (I think she charges closer to $ 50…

I visited Dr. Hu, strictly upon Connie’s recommendation. Thank you very much! I had been looking for an acupuncturist for a while now. I had no idea that acupressure was part of my treatment too. What a nice surprise. I was iffy about the language barrier, but, it really isn’t anything to stress about. We communicated just fine.
I went in for mid-​spinal sensitivity and a re-​aggravated ankle injury. I have to say, after his thorough physical assessment and treatment, my ankle is no longer stiff nor swollen and my spine feels free of its painful sensitivity. I can’t wait for my next visit. I am extremely happy that I didn’t put this off any longer.
If you’re wondering about the prices, it’s all based on his assessment and your concerns. Connie is right, his fees are very reasonable.
I will check back in with you guys when I finish my series. Cheers!

This place is a hidden treasure. Dr. Hu (accupuncture/​accupressure) is a master practician of this science, as well as a Qi Gong master. I’ve been going to him for years and his treatments always fix me up like nothing else (I’ve tried several other accupuncture/​accupressure people). He is a 2^nd generation practitioner and both his parents are masters as well. I’ve referred many friends here and they usually end up referring their friends as well. I recommend Dr. Hu as an alternative to chiropractic treatment, which seems pricey and relatively ineffective in comparison. I also highly recommend him for any type of soft-​tissue sports injury. Dr. Hu speaks a little English, but he can usually find what is wrong by touch — in most cases, pinpointing the real cause with more accuracy than what I pointed out. He has many patients who only speak English and they all seem to do fine. Don’t be suprised by the effecitiveness of the treatment, even when the touch may feel relatively light. Mrs. Hu handles the office and is an herbalist.
Don’t be fooled by the small and not-​fancy look of the office. His treatments are top-​notch and his fees are very reasonable. The fees are even more reasonable when you consider that he can probably fix you up in fewer visits than a lesser practitioner.
Parking is on the street, but there is usually space. Call at least a few days in advance to make an appointment. They are open Mon-​Sat (and sometimes Sundays).
