Waiting for her turn, Ms. Lan told us about her chance to get to know the clinic: "I have a friend who used to have carpal tunnel syndrome. It was so painful, so she went to the hospital. The doctor asked her to have surgery, but she did not dare to. Finally, she came here for treatment after being recommended. After over a month, her hands could stretch normally, with no numbness and stiffness in her fingers."
Motivated by the hope of curing her stroke sequelae, Ms. Lan came to Mai Khoi - Dong Tien clinic. Having seen positive outcomes after her treatment, she recommended the clinic to her friend, Ms. Tran Xoai Muoi. Since then, they have been taking each other to acupuncture and physical therapy at the clinic. “The doctors here work for a philanthropic purpose, so they do not take any fees even if you pay. If anyone is in good condition and kind, there is a donation box in front of the door for them.", added by Ms. Lan.
