My elderly mother was diagnosed with advanced dementia back in 2015. The deterioration continued until by the end of 2018, she was losing motor control and in Jan 2019 had a bad fall and hit her head. We had no choice but to move her into a nursing home in March 2019, as we could no longer care for her at home. She was almost fully unresponsive, in a high-backed wheelchair because she could not support her own head, on oxygen 24/7, had to be transferred between bed and wheelchair with an automated lift, could not feed herself, and had to be put on thickened liquids and pureed food because she was losing her ability to chew and swallow. Steven Sonmore started treating her in the nursing home in mid-March. After two sessions, to our surprise, she responded to simple questions with one- or two-word answers. Over the subsequent weeks, she started to occasionally proactively ask about family members and was able to maintain short back-and-forths about a given topic. One of the nurses said she almost cried when one day my mother noticed and commented on how pretty her necklace was. In May, my mother was taken off of daytime oxygen. Physical Therapy signed her out of their services because she was now so mobile that she could stand up and sit down on her own and walk 75 ft. with a walker; there was nothing more they needed to do for her except to prescribe her to practice walking 2x a day. In June, Speech Therapy re-tested her, and she is now back on regular, thin liquids and ordinary soft foods cut into small pieces. My mother now feeds herself and is able to transfer with a 2-wheeled walker and 1-person assist between bed and wheelchair, as well as wheelchair and toilet--yes, she now can say when she needs to use the toilet and can actually use it. The other morning I told her that my son was going to dance class; that same evening, I brought him to visit her, and to my amazement, she asked, "So did he go to dance class?" For anyone with a family member with advanced dementia, you know just how tremendous it is for that person to actually remember something even ten minutes later, much less several hours. We are ethnic Chinese and have spent most of our lives in Greater China--Hong Kong, Taipei, and Beijing. We know the benefits of Chinese medicine and have seen numerous very good practitioners throughout Asia. I can say hands down that Steven Sonmore is the most effective doctor of acupuncture that we have ever encountered. Previous doctors of Chinese medicine have certainly helped our various family members in many ways. But never have I witnessed as fast and stark an improvement as I have with the treatment of my mother's dementia. Finally, let me clarify that there have been no major changes to my mother’s medications, and as good as it is, the care in the nursing home is always simply supporting what her needs are at any given time. Now, at the end of July 2019, just two weeks before my mother's 95th birthday, there is no question in my mind that it is Steven Sonmore’s acupuncture which is the reason for my mother awaking from the debilitating fog of dementia and now being able to enjoy a significantly higher quality of life for her remaining years.read more

I have had high blood pressure for nearly three years. An Internal Medicine (IM) physician prescribed a 10 mg does of an Ace Inhibitor which gave me an extreme dry cough. Next was a Calcium Channel Blocker with side affects of swollen feet, ankles, and legs. Of course, IM mentioned giving me another medication to help that situation. That's when I knew without a doubt I was on the wrong path. I wanted healing not to keep covering up symptoms and having side affects upon side affects. I began my investigation of alternative healing and found Steven Sonmore and acupuncture. The night before my initial evaluation and treatment by Steven, my blood pressure spiked up to 150/128. My entire internal system was racing, my chest /breathing felt heavy and I felt terrible. Steven's diagnose and first treatment, hit the bulls eye. During this treatment, I began to feel a calm that was missing for a long time. After the treatment, I felt so uplifted, happy, and calm. All natural. I left saying this was "delicious." I had my second treatment and a day later my blood pressure was 115/69. Fantastic results. I also take the Chinese herbs Steven recommends. My energy level is very good. I have not felt this good in three years. I am on my way to excellent, natural health. Happy and healthy.read more

I am a 37 year old man and normally very healthy. I recently became ill with a head and neck problem. Through acupuncture and rest I was able to heal over the course of 2 weeks. I would strongly recommend this as an alternative or supplemental treatment to conventional western medicine. All I can say is it worked for me!read more

I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia 3 years ago and did not like that the neurologists I saw treated it with anti-seizure medication which has not been successful in alleviating my facial pain and also carry with them side effects that are not positive. I like Stevens's approach-using words like "curing" and although I am in the early stages of treatment I am enjoying a period of time with no facial pain! I am a believer!read more

In October of 2017 I was diagnosed as having aggressive prostate cancer by the doctors at the VA Medical Center. My wife and I decided that we wanted to battle this cancer using multiple tools. Besides the standard western medicine tools (used by the VA doctors) of radiation and hormone therapy, we settled on Steven Sonmore and his Oriental Medical Care practice. We chose Steven because he had treated my wife with acupuncture when she was diagnosed with kidney cancer. His treatments were very supportive in her fight. In my case, I started with multiple acupuncture treatments weekly over several months. Also during that time Steven prescribed an oriental herbal mixture to strengthen and support my treatment. I feel that his acupuncture and herbal mixture were major contributors to my remission diagnosis in May of 2018. Stevens treatments also helped alleviate many of the side effects of my other treatments such as dizziness, headaches and pain. I highly recommend Steven and his Complete Oriental Medical Care practice.read more
