What others have to say

stepping stones

My neck and shoulder…

…were so painful I couldn’t hold my head straight while driving to the Yong Kang Clinic. After just one treatment, I felt so much better that I was able to drive home normally. That first session quick started my complete recovery.
No wonder I call Michael Max my miracle acupuncturist.   S.F.

Analytical but also intuitive…

Stepping into Yong Kang Clinic is like being transported across the Pacific and deposited in a Chinese apothecary with its walls of herbs in carefully labeled jars. And then there’s Michael and his little post-it notes in Chinese and the many teas brought back from his annual travels. In other words, authenticity abounds.

I learned that Michael didn’t just study acupuncture and herbs, he studied Chinese so that he could read and translate original texts (a translation is soon to be published), and he studied and apprenticed in Asia to gain all the knowledge he could. It shows in his treatments: His assessment was thorough but not rote, analytical but also intuitive. His treatment used few needles in carefully chosen points and had an immediate palpable impact of opening the meridians so energy could move.
I’ve always loved acupuncture, studied it some myself at one point, and treatment from Michael reminds me of my best experiences with traditional Oriental medicine in Japan and China.     A.H.

I was amazed…

Well what can I say – I met Michael in December to discuss his health insurance options. I went into his office not feeling very well and had a vacation that was in just a few days. Even though I was there to help him, he took the time to help me. He gave me what I termed “dirt” to take and sent me on my way with a little extra for the next couple of days. I was amazed – within one day I was feeling SO much better! I really appreciate how he took the time to make sure that I was treated and that this little cold did not ruin my vacation. Thanks a million Michael!!       B.C.

Wonderfully considerate, listens to you…

Michael is the best. Ten years ago I tried the “pins” for a newspaper article on him. That little session gave me a strong insight to his skill. Wonderfully considerate, listens to you and you can always get “in” to see him… I highly recommend Michael Max.      M.J

I was in agony, misery, and anguish…

Michael has saved my life…and probably the lives of those around me. I was in agony, misery, anguish, and in an all around bad place. Who knew that acupuncture would work? One session and I could move my neck, two sessions and I can move it even more. I AM IN LOVE!        E. Lee

A lot has changed since last fall…

I want to let you know that a lot has changed since last fall and I have made a lot of changes since we last chatted.  I wanted to thank you for being part of the team of folks that helped me to find some inner peace and to focus on self care and happiness.  I quit my job and am now freelancing and consulting.  It’s has brought me a lot of joy.          G.Y

By far the best acupuncture…

I wanted to let you know I am much improved since the treatment and medicine you gave me. By chance I stumbled into your clinic, and it was by far the best acupuncture treatment I have ever received.
I hope to see you again on future trips to Seattle.    M.C.
