I have been seeing Dr. Tam for my severe eczema for over a year and a half already and it was the only thing that worked for me. After a one year ordeal of topical steriods, UV light treatment, antibiotics and hydrocortisone shots my dermatologist wanted to put me on Prednisone. I was freaking out about the side effects of Prednisone and my mother heard about this holistic practitioner from a friend. So I decided to go and low and behold it worked! After having severe eczema for over a year, the herbal brew that was prescribed to me worked. It took 1 month for everything to clear up. I continue to go back for herbal medicine to maintain my hair and skin. Dr. Tam is a Chinese medicine practitioner so he prescribes herbs according to your condition based on his diagnosis. The herbal medicine is the type you would have to brew for approximately and hour. Although it is not the most pleasant taste, you will see results. His rates are very reasonable and inexpensive — approx. $ 20 — $ 40 depending on diagnosis and quantity of herbs. There are many non-Asians who see him for their ailments. He is definitely one step above all the other practitioners in Chinatown.
