The first time I visited the Art of Wellness, I realized I was in a very special place. It was not only the sheer beauty and harmony of the place – There was something else... I came to realize it was how the place itself felt – explicitly imbued with healing intent and promoting absolute wellness. It was no accident given the fact that Dr. Tan and Dr. Cai are at work here on more levels than meets the eye.

Their professional expertise combined with a truly rare, highly personalized care that is almost entirely lost in today's medical world, is what makes Art of Wellness an extraordinary success!

The short time I spend with Dr. Cai every week is the most special time! She is wonderful in helping reassign my goals, re-center my thoughts, and keeping me focused. She is gentle, caring and so intuitive. Her knowledge and experience astounds me – it is expansive, diverse, and consistent.

Art of Wellness, the staff, and Dr. Cai and Dr. Tan provide a retreat like none other! I appreciate your care and warm welcome each visit. The healing I experience here cannot be put into words. Thanks!

The presence of Dr. Cai and her staff in my life has been a true blessing. After being told that my chances of carrying a baby to term were minimal and that I should consider an egg donor and invitro, Dr. Cai gave me hope. She felt confident that she would be able to lower my FSH level naturally. Having had two miscarriages already, I was hesitant but I put my faith and heart in her hands.

My reward 5 months after treatment I was pregnant and now I have a beautiful, healthy, and intelligent son. Camilo is living proof that the Art of Wellness is a gift to so many families. The same goes for Dr. Cai's staff: always welcoming, helpful, and professional.

Dr. Tan has been my doctor for over ten years. I trust him completely.

Dr. Tan has formulated a special blend of Chinese herbs for me. And for five years, I was never sick, even though my family, including my wife and two teenage sons were sick repeatedly, with one illness after another, mostly because of school.

As a surfer and big wave rider, snowboarder and general dare-devil, I occasionally wipe-out! Dr. Tan, with his expertise, can tell more about my x-rays than any of the orthopedic specialists I've ever been to. He helps me heal faster with acupuncture and keeps my joints from becoming arthritic.

Three years ago, both my younger brother and my father died of heart problems. Dr. Tan understands that genetics plays a big part in one's health and includes herbs to help me with these problems.

Is Dr. Tan a healer? I would have to say 'one of the best.

Ten years ago, I met Dr. Tan here in Los Angeles; I had been suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for about a year, I was 36 years old, hard working, and very active.

Unless you have experienced this disease, it is somewhat difficult to explain; it began with 'surges' through my head, blurred vision, fogginess in my mind, extreme fatigue, and the slurring of my speech. When it was at full force, I would in the greatest sense 'completely shut down'.

After going nowhere with western medicine, I was introduced to a Chinese Traditional Doctor who later referred me to Dr. Tan for acupuncture. Since then, Dr. Tan's continued acupuncture treatments, herbs, and qigong exercise teachings have allowed me to live a very productive and enriched life. Over the past ten years, Dr. Tan has shown me more than just his practice of a medicine – he has also shown me a simple way of life, a new approach to my health.

I still have to face the challenge of keeping myself healthy, but without Dr. Tan, my odds of living a good life would be much smaller.

Becoming sick was one of the worst things that ever happened to me, but also the best. I am honored to call Dr. Tan my friend.

You are awesome Dr.Tan!!!

If I had to imagine an ideal healer - you would be it!!

You match the highest level of personal care for your patients with the highest level of intellectual and technical knowledge. How lucky are the people who find their way to you! You have helped me through the usual and the unusual, all with impeccable kindness and care.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That your staff is kind and helpful is a delightful and happy bonus.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tan's for several years now. Seldom do you meet a practitioner in the busy, fast-paced life who slows down time. He offers all the time you need. Dr. Tan listens deeply, kindly, and with care, and treats with consciousness, thoroughness, and consistency.

Wonderful experience – I haven't been sick with a cold for over a year!

I have ITP, a blood immune disorder of which there is no cure. This is my first experience with acupuncture, and Dr. Tan is trying to raise my immune system. So far, my platelets have risen and hopefully will continue to do so. With the constant care of Dr. Tan's care, it is a soothing, wonderful experience. I'm sure anyone who tries this approach will also find it to be a very positive, spiritual healing experience.

I am grateful and pleased to have this opportunity to express my appreciation for your medical expertise and truly caring assistance in the hope that other people will be helped by the benefits that I have realized in your care. Having been treated by Dr. Tan continuously for a period of over three and a half years, I consider myself to be in a good position to comment on the medical help that he has rendered to me. I would not have continued his treat so long if I didn't feel his acupuncture needles were making a substantial difference in my overall health.

After undergoing a series of near-fatal strokes and heart attacks six years ago, I have been treated by Dr. Tan for my severe headaches, loss of strength and sensation of my leg and arm, poor balance, leg and feet swelling, insomnia, and fatigue. To date, my condition has improved so much that my pain and discomfort have nearly abated, my leg and arm strength has returned to almost normal, I get a full night's sleep, and my energy is much improved. I attribute most of my recovery to Dr. Tan's acupuncture treatments and his caring monitoring of my symptoms and condition. Dr. Tan has made a major difference in my life, as well as in the amount of enjoyment that I realize from my good health.

Thank you for being there for me.

I could write pages about Dr. Tan's compassionate care.

When I made my first appointment with Dr. Tan I was in constant knee pain. Within a few months of acupuncture treatments and on-going maintenance treatments, the knee pain is gone and has not returned.

On two occasions he has told me his assessment of my current condition by only checking my pulse, looking at my tongue, and listening to what I was experiencing. I then went to my physician at a very reputable medical center and after weeks of blood draws, tests, x-rays, and CAT scans, my western doctor gave me the same diagnosis. All western medicine had to offer were drugs with serious side effects. Dr. Tan brought me through with herbs and acupuncture and no side effects.

I trust Dr. Tan, his experience, and his expertise as a wholistic healer. Dr. Tan partners with me and the body's natural healing process for my health and well-being.

I have fibromyalgia. I have spent several years and seen dozens of doctors, but I have never met anyone as special as Dr. Tan. His compassion, wisdom, demeanor; there really are no words to describe him until you are in his presence. He immediately forms a partnership with his patients and makes you understand your role in your own healing. I have seen my IBS symptoms virtually disappear. My energy and headaches have improved steadily under his care.

I feel very fortunate to have found a doctor, a healer, and a partner to help me.

We have been patients of Dr. Tan since 2005. Dr. Tan has brought in to our lives a ray of light through his knowledge and experience in both Eastern and Western Medicine. As a young family raising a toddler, our greatest concern is our family's health and overall wellbeing. And it has been such a blessing to have the opportunity to experience 'real' healing through all the treatments, herbs and affectionate care given to us by Dr. Tan.

We cannot convey in a few words how wonderful it is to be patients of Art of wellness – Dr. Tan and Dr. Cai together hold a wealth of knowledge and we feel honored to know them, to be their patients and friends. The best treatment at AOW is the warmth, hugs and big smiles that these wonderful practitioners give with unlimited generosity.

Western medicine and Eastern medicine in harmony together.Since I started acupuncture and herbs, I no longer get colds. I used to get a cold every six weeks along with the sinus infections, throat tickles, runny noses, and the terrible coughs that accompany a cold. Like most, I blamed it on getting a chill or rubbing my face. I thought it was a fact of life. Then I discovered this need not be so since I have been treated by Dr. Tan. If the immune system is strong, then the colds stay away!

Words cannot explain the gratitude I have for Dr. Tan. For the last 8 years or so, he has had such a positive influence on my wellbeing. I am constantly telling my friends about acupuncture and its effects on us as humans. The Chinese have been doing this practice for thousands of years and for me, it is about preventive maintenance and that is what Dr. Tan and his wife Dr.Cai provide in the Art Of Wellness.

I have been seeing Dr.Cai since 2002. I just had a negative out-come IVF and was a wreck.

What I noticed immediately is her capacity to listen, I mean really listen to her patients. We had a long road together and through her support I was able to have a successful IVF and our little girl was born in January 2006.

I have done IVF treatments with and without acupucnture and it is day and night. I never had another miscarriage since I have been followed by her. I would never put all this effort to go through infertility tteatments without Dr.Cai. She treats you as a whole person, and her calmness, kindness, and knowledge are limitless.

I will continue to see her for other medical reasons.( she resolved a lingering Plantar Fascilitis in 2 sessions) despite the 2 hour drive to see her. She also got rid of my 3 year-old daughter's cough in one session. Thank you Dr.Cai for your continual support, it means a lot.

With 2009 coming to a close, I have taken some time to reflect on my life over the course of the past year. It has changed dramatically... in so many ways! New life events and moments, but I have also undergone a great physical and emotional transformation.

Thank you so much Dr.Tan for being a huge part of that! I can not believe how vastly different I feel new compared how I felt before I started coming to you. In every way...my energy, anxiety, depresstion, skin, pain, and numbness. And others have noticed as well! I tell them it's because I have the best doctor I 've ever had and that they must come to visit you. Fortunately, some of them have... and I'm sure you can expect more in the future!

It has been a pleasure coming to your office and working with you and your wonderful staff. Thank you for being so kind, caring, compassionate and special. I wish nothing but the best for you, your staff and your family.

I was amazed at how knowledgeable Dr. Cai was in fertility and reproductive issues. The questions she asked me were so on point, and I related to all of the concerns she had about my fertility. I immediately trusted her and her care during my visits.

I had a series of acupuncture treatments before and after my first IVF attempt. They were amazing! The calmness and relaxation I felt leaving the treatment exceeded the feelings I have after a massage. I attribute this to the treatments having a physical and mental impact on me.

My first IVF treatment was a success! I strongly believe that Dr. was a significant contributor to that success. The minute I felt uncomfortable in my pregnancy, I rushed back to her! Her treatments immediately helped alleviate the pain. I made it through 40 weeks and definitely feel Dr. Cai helped me get there!

I have been seeing Dr. Cai for almost 7 years. I liked her from the first time I met her. I found her very knowledgeable and friendly. I actually first came to her for assistance with a cyst in my breast. She resolved it. She has assisted me through two full-term pregnancies and two miscarriages, as well as a bout with shingles and mastitis. I have always found her to be helpful. I feel her treatments help my body and mind stay healthy and in balance, which no doubt helped me conceive and deliver two beautiful children.

Dr. Cai was so kind and nurturing and offered so much information. I ended up doing insemination (without drugs)—this was Dr. Cai’s suggestion. I got pregnant with the first IUI attempt when combined with acupuncture before and after. The best part, though, was having Dr. Cai as a resource and support system. She is one of a kind.

I felt completely that I was in great hands. Because of Dr. Cai’s background, you don't feel like you're with someone who just knows Eastern medicine—you feel taken care of medically in every way. Even though other doctors had told me there was no chance I could get pregnant with one of my own eggs, I always left Dr. Cai’s office feeling positive and uplifted—she is so full of light.

Dr. Cai told me which foods to eat and which to stay away from. Even though the western doctors warned me I was at high risk for gestational diabetes, I never got it while eating what Dr. Cai suggested--including walnuts, lots of cantaloupe and pineapple. When I got a cold, Dr. Cai gave me special herbs, which helped. Overall, I had a healthier pregnancy in my 40s that I did when I was in my 20s!-- more comfortable, with fewer complications.
