We are grateful to have been gifted with the wealth of knowledge Dr. Liang has past on to us. Our experience, both as students and working along side Dr. Liang in her practice.
As a team at Secret Garden Acupuncture, we look forward to continuing her work. We are confident employing the traditional Chinese medical diagnosing, acupuncture point prescriptions, and formulation of Chinese herbal remedies that Dr. Liang proved to be so successful in her practice.
Traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat all health conditions.
