Testimonials
I have been a patient of Dr. Cho for about ten years now, since September 2011, and there is no other acupuncturist I would see, recommend, or trust for truly, highly effective acupuncture treatment for seriously any medical condition. Over the years, Dr. Cho has consistently shown me his dedication to the overall care and well-being of his patients. He has not only improved my quality of life but also that of my immediate family and closest friends. It is my hope that Dr. Cho will reach more and more people like me, who have been told repeatedly that their situation can't be helped, and that their only option is to settle for a life wracked with debilitating symptoms and side effects from various medications to no end. Every time I visit Dr. Cho's office, no matter what condition I have, he always shows me that there is hope, there is a solution, and things can be better. This has definitely proven to be true in my testimony, most especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I have an autoimmune disorder called idiopathic mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), which causes me to experience repeated, symptomatic episodes of various anaphylactic reactions in multiple organ systems (i.e. cardiovascular, dermatologic, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, neurologic, and pulmonary) all at once. Various triggers from emotional, environmental, and/or physical stress can cause me to experience symptoms ranging from hypotension, chest pain, and shortness of breath to bone, muscle, and nerve pain with chronic fatigue, to name a few. Although I was only diagnosed with MCAS about three years ago, these chronic symptoms have affected my ability to function in everyday life since I was a young child. And Dr. Cho's acupuncture treatment has been one of the only few things to actually help me reduce my frequency of flares, improve my quality of sleep, and live a healthier, more normal lifestyle. Dr. Cho has also helped me recover from multiple surgical operations.
As a young adult with MCAS, I am one of many people at increased risk during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, to my devastation, I had contracted the virus about six months ago from my parents who are also at increased risk with underlying medical conditions like COPD and fibromyalgia. With little education about the virus at the time, I initially believed that my parents and I were doomed to fail, but we immediately called Sirach Acupuncture, explaining our situation and COVID-19 symptoms. And Dr. Cho was able to provide herbal remedies for each of us, specially made for each of our unique COVID-19 symptoms according to our different stages in the recovery process. When I thought all was lost, these herbs helped me incredibly in managing my symptoms during quarantine and fully recover from the virus after 12 days. My parents are fully recovered as well. Several months later, one of my closest friends and his wife had contracted COVID-19 and sought my help. I immediately connected them with Dr. Cho and made arrangements for them to receive the herbal remedy as well. Dr. Cho's herbs also helped them amid their recovery process, and my friend and his wife are now functioning normally in life and at work. I know for certain that, no matter what concern or condition you may have, Dr. Cho is able to help and show you that there is hope for better quality of life.

I have the testimony you are seeking for the right effective acupuncture treatment.
I was on Crohn's Disease medication for life...so the western medicine doctor(s) threatened. The complications were so severe I was sad and discouraged. My daily life was taxed by my health condition. Although, I live a busy life...I tried not to allow my stresses to control me...as it was my stress had manifested through the body.
The side affects of the medications were terrible and I just never could be myself. :( As my family would attest. :)
Two years this September, I will be free of all medications including over the counter. It is amazing the transitions one will endure to do the right thing.
I will also mention, I had a bleeding condition for 3 months and I sought the western doctor, he scheduled a surgery. I did not feel right about the cutting of the organ and the usual procedure. Again, I sought Dr. Cho's understanding and knowledge of the body and treatment. The bleeding completely stopped May 1.
I was reluctant at first to change my lifestyle which is very complicated...but I was tired of the stress and feeling lousy. I asked Dr. Cho if I had to believe in this type of treatment for it to be effective on me...Dr. Cho replied...No :)
Dr. Cho was patient with my stubborn attitude and I finally took his encouragement. Today, I continue to take the baby steps to make the changes in my lifestyle and to educate myself about foods that influence my health with his direction.
And today, other friends and family members have experienced Dr. Cho's in-depth knowledge and understanding. Dr. Cho has a gift of oriental medicine that truly brings results. See his website to see a treatment that a small percentage of doctors have been trained.
I have met with many doctors over the course of 17 years, Dr. Cho is currently treating my father-in-law (90) living with us and diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He too is no longer in need of high blood pressure and heavy antidepressants. His doctors are confused by his progress. It is not a cure for Alzheimer's but it sure has made a difference in his life and the lives of all of us who are caregiving. :)

Back in March of 2011 I had a nasty fall resulting in major back pain. I went to the doctor only to receive pain medication. 6 wks later, still having pain went back to the doctor in which he told me I needed physical therapy. Physical Therapy didn't work, here it is October and still in pain. I found the Sirach Acupuncture and made an appointment. By this time I was still skeptic about the acupuncture but was willing to try anything to get my back under control. I went to my appointment today not knowing what to expect. But let me tell you first hand that when the visit was over, I got up and felt like a new person. Not the first bit of pain! It was amazing. I could not be happier. I have made another appointment to work on some other issues I have with my body! Also just to let everyone out there know, the procedure is painless.

Hi! my name is Lisa and I have had my serious problems most of my life. I went to talk and have acupuncture done. I also am an advocate of chi kung. I can tell you there are no words to discribe how I am honored to have such an excellent acupuncturist on my side. My own doctor just dopes me up. Anyway for the problem I went to see him for he also has stopped my chronic asthma. I have been two days with out using my nebulizer or inhalers or medicines. I have read many articles on acupuncture and researched everything I can possibly find. This is the way to go. I do hope others with chronic pain or diseases work on their chi. Your inner body is also important as well as your outer body. I am so grateful to him. If anyone needs a doctor for medical reasons what so ever he is the best. I have been suffering for twenty or more years.

For five years, I had chronic fatigue syndrome. I was weak and extremely tired and I couldn't concentrate on school work. I tried every kind of traditional Western doctor and drugs. Once I began my treatments, my sleep disorder was reversed in two weeks! Each treatment gave immediate relief from the other symptoms: after each treatment I feel all stress & tension go away, I'm more energized, I can concentrate better at work, school & play (I read and comprehend better, I hit a baseball better, I'm healthier & stronger and I do everything better!) Over three months of treatment my chronic tiredness has improved dramatically & acupuncture was the only thing that permitted my condition to improve & it's especially impressive to me that it worked even though I was over working myself in school for those three months of treatment.
People new to acupuncture should try to be relaxed during treatment and be patient & allow enough treatments to give it a chance to work.

If you are interested in success stories regarding acupuncture treatment, I would be interested in sharing my remarkable story. I was a person who tried
traditional medicine first, was suicidal, walking pharmacy, wasn't a part of body that didn't suffer from pain, had trouble with muscles working, and had such fluid retention, I thought the acupuncture doctor was going to turn me down. That was in Nov. 2009. I am drug free, emotionally better than been in years, and am able to control pain when not in a session. Traditional medicine still hasn't found out what is wrong with me, but if it was for acupuncture, I wouldn't be here today.

Hi. I'm Elena. I am going to an excellent male Acupuncturist for the hormonal changes in my body. Being that I am peri-menopausal, I have a dire need to be treated with as little help from synthetic hormones and a lot of prescription drugs. I am going through a natural stage of a woman's change, and I am getting relief from using a natural approach such as acupuncture.
I like the calm approach that my Dr. Cho uses. I do not feel anything but great since my 2 last visits. This is my first time seeing an acupuncturist, and I am confident that I have made a wise choice.
