Testimonials


Infertility

"I was Dr. Gong's patient. I was struggling for fertility because of a long-term use of contraception, leading to endocrine disorders, for a long time could not get pregnant. I was very anxious. A friend introduced me to a Chinese medicine doctor, Dr. Benchuan Gong. After the first call to consult , Dr. Gong made it clear that the treatment will take three months , and there would be children afterwards. My husband and I listened to his words, very excited, and actively cooperate with his treatment. Dr. Gong is affable, every diagnosis and treatment are very very careful for the sake of the patient, he also enlightens us to relax. Sure enough, in the first three months of treatment when I was pregnant, my husband and I are very, very happy. We are amazed of his diagnosis, assessment and treatment experience, we feel he was sent by God to help us. Now my baby will be due in a month, he is very healthy. Thanks again Dr. Gong!"

Shingles

"In August of 2014, I contracted Shingles for the first time in my life and had no idea what to do about it. I talked to a friend of mine about the pain I was having and he instantly referred me to Dr. Gong for treatment. I went to Dr. Gong about my issue and was treated with acupuncture and Chinese medicine almost immediately after being diagnosed with my disturbance. In a week of my Shingles breakout, my Shingles was gone and never reappeared again. If I were to recommend a doctor for someone, I would recommend Dr. Gong to take care of them. He not only checks thoroughly with his patients regarding what’s bothering them, he makes sure his patients are cured by the next time he sees them."

Acne

"Throughout the second half of 2015 , I had severe acne of unknown causes on my forehead , and after using a variety of creams which were not effective, and trying one thing after another, I went to Dr. Gong. Dr. Ben Gong considered heart fire after diagnosis, where the upper body is hot and lower body is cold, and recommended that I take herbs. It was magical that less than a month after taking the herbal medicine, my acne is gone"

Arthritis

"In the fall of 2015, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I also had elevated liver enzymes due to all the Advil I was taking in order to function on a daily basis with the R.A. pain. The doctors wanted to put me on prescription medication. This was a course I did not want to take. A friend recommended acupuncture with Dr. Ben Gong of Agape Acupuncture. I proceeded to see Dr. Gong on a regular basis. Between the acupuncture and the Chinese herbs (and prayer), I have seen remarkable improvement in pain levels, joint swelling and overall inflammation. My liver enzymes are back to normal and I am feeling SIGNIFICANTLY better. Dr. Gong's knowledge, wisdom and gentle manner allow for proper questions and answers helping you to make good health decisions. I believe God has used Dr. Ben Gong of Agape Acupuncture in a mighty way in my overall health and I am very grateful."
