"Lee was suffering from whiplash and for two years got no relief from a variety of neurologists, chiropractors, physical therapists, etc. Only when he saw Tien did he solve the problem. Tien has magic in his hands. He can watch you walk in and know what's wrong. We're active people - skiing, biking, horseback riding. Whatever sports injury we have, we go to Tien. We will drive 4 hours one way to see Tien rather than 10 minutes to anyone else. We have referred many people to Tien and he has helped everyone."
