The conventional medical treatments are very effective for many kinds of illness. Whenever you have had little or no success using conventional medicine, or you have strong side effects from it, consider acupuncture treatment. Patients should start acupuncture treatment as early as possible after the onset of their disease or condition, because the earlier this is done, generally the better will be the recovery. For most of the conditions the combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs will have even better results.
Massage is one of the essential foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Tui Na, literally "Push Grab, " has been practiced by Chinese martial artists, Qigong practitioners and healers for thousands of years. Specializing in injury repair and curing illness, Tui Na massage can also maintain your health by adjusting your Qi in order to flow smoothly.
Almost all complementary therapists recommend dietary therapy as part of their treatment, for it works both on a preventive and a therapeutic basis. Specialized diets may be used to treat particular problems; overall, dietary therapy is aimed at improving general health and well-being. The idea that food is also medicine is deeply rooted in the Chinese culture.

Dr. Du has really helped my wife. She'd been bounced around several doctors over the past few years with no improvement and about given up hope. We tried another acupuncture place that disappointed, Evergreen really was the last attempt. Dr. Du delivered. With a combination of acupuncture and herbs my wife is finally feeling better and getting some life back. Getting her cared for is my first priority, but I'm looking forward to having her work on my back and knees in the coming months.
I'm also happy to say they work great with insurance. Ming (hope I got the spelling right) runs an organized, efficient office and her speaking so highly of Dr. Du when we first called is what got us in and I'm so glad she actually undersold her a little.

Dr. Du is very knowledgeable and takes her time to identify your problem areas and create a treatment plan. I had horrible jaw pain due to TMJ, after my first visit I could see a dramatic difference. I have already recommended to a friend who was having issues after COVID and she had a great experience as well. I also would like to add that the office is very clean and her staff is very professional.

Dr. Guorong Du helped me mitigating the pain with kidney stone by receiving her acupuncture treatment and removing my kidney stone by taking her prescribed Chinese herb medicine. Dr. Du rescued me with her decades of medical experience. She was able to provide me with a fast and accurate diagnosis, and treated me using Chinese medicine without any invasive medical procedures.
Especially with the COVID-19 situation, my age and underlying medical conditions put me in the higher risk group, so I am so glad that Dr. Du helped me so quickly and saved me from having to endure the pain for a long time, and saved me from the hassle and expenses of going to the emergency room. I am very impressed by Dr. Du's medical skills. And I am very touched by her sincerity!

My left knee started to hurt five months ago, and then it swelled and it was difficult to walk. I went to a doctor several times and there was no good way to treat it. After someone introduced, I went to Dr. Du's clinic. After her first acupuncture treatment, the swelling and pain was greatly reduced. Under Dr. Du's meticulous treatment in the past three months, my knee has fully recovered.
Thank you Dr. Du very much! Doctor Du is kind and pleasant personality. Her clinic is clean and comfortable. This shows how good is Dr. Du's clinic. It also shows the magic of acupuncture and how great is the Chinese medicine!

Run, don't walk to see Dr. Du. I had been going to doctor after doctor to try to figure out what was causing the pain in my leg. No one could figure out what it was and would send me on my way. I went to see Dr. Du and she figured out that the problem was stemming from my hips. She pressed on my hips and I was in a lot of pain. It is interesting to me that no other doctor thought to do that given I was complaining of leg pain. Dr. Du cares about the whole patient, physically and mentally.
What drives her is her caring for people and desire to help them restore their health. I am impressed with Traditional Chinese Medicine and Dr. Du's diagnostic and treatment expertise. She listens to her patients and doesn't dismiss symptoms as due to anxiety. Under Dr. Du's care, I continue to experience pain relief and am certain that I will get back to good health.

My father in law is 82 years old. He came to Dr. Du for his knee and low legs pains; he also as diabetes and high blood pressure and was just recovering from singles. He felt very weak, tired and was short of breaths. However after a few treatments he started to feel better, not only with his knee and leg but also much more energy. He can get up from sitting position much quicker than prior treatments.
After 12 treatments his pains were all gone. He feels now healthy and is ready to travel internationally. We wanted to thank Dr. Du, and we highly recommend Dr. Du not only because she is very experienced in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicines, but also she is very kindhearted and cares about her patients.

The Best Dr/Acupuncturist/Herbologist Dr. Kimberley is not only a medical doctor but has also been a professor for 15 years teaching at university and is an exceptional Herbologist. Her vast experience has greatly helped me to deal and overcome many challenges over the years. 12 years ago, I had a really bad lower back disc issue and if not for Dr. Kimberley, I would have gone for the surgery that all the doctors said I would need.
Her treatment however, kept me pain free and corrected the issue that one day I noticed that my back has returned to normal and I never needed any surgery! Best, Rara in Reston IF TEN STARS WERE POSSIBLE.Dr Kimberley should get them all! I highly recommend her to all with any issue, I do not trust anyone else with being the best caretaker of my health.
I went to her after suffering from multiple strokes, (TIAs) and suffering from almost paralysis of my left side from head to toe. Today, I am a fully functioning person with all movement restored and feel just great!

Writing a review is not always easy, however in the case of Evergreen Acupuncture and Herbs, it is an honor when one takes into consideration the lack of control that often comes with the mystery of health care. I broke my left shoulder and left knee about two years ago and was hit as a pedestrian on the left side disabling my left hip. My right ankle is succumbing to arthritis and age.
All of these issues renders walking or standing for normal periods of time painful even at rest and sleep. I have gone the gamut of medication, extensive physical therapy, and strength training. I finally resorted to Dr. Kim Guorong Du, an expert acupuncturist who has worked out my challenges faster than any medication and in harmony with physical therapy and strength training for continued movement. Acupuncture, cupping (recall Michael Phelps during the Olympics), and herbs "complement" Western medicine and are partners to recovery for a myriad of health needs.
I can now, among other things, work with my dog and cook a whole meal without having to stop and sit. What is certainly a best practice with Dr. Kim, is that she takes insurance and have never had to wait for or during an appointment!

Dr. Guorong Du is very experienced and careful. Her acupuncture worked wonders on my arm and back in just one session. I wouldn't go anywhere else. It's hard to find a doctor who you trust 100% and we are so lucky to have found her practice. She saved our backs, knees, and arms from pain for years now.
