What Our Clients Say

Ms K. P. (June 2024)

Dr. Hu is a magician! Of course, it’s simply his incredible knowledge of TCM, but to me, it will always be magic. I have suffered from trigeminal neuralgia for 15 years and was at my wit’s end. Those who suffer from this horrible affliction that sends electric shock waves along the trigeminal nerve, causing excruciating pain and leaving you screaming and trembling all over, know what I am talking about. I have received many different treatments for this illness, from debilitating quantities of carbamazepine to cryoablations, all of which worked for some time until they didn’t. I was at my wit’s end, no longer able to live in constant fear of the next attack. I made a final effort to find any solution possible and accidentally found Dr. Hu while endlessly researching.

I called him for acupuncture treatments, but he told me this would be very good for early-stage trigeminal neuralgia when it can indeed completely cure it, but in late stages, it’s the herbal compounds that work best. I didn’t even know this at all, but I immediately made an appointment for diagnosis and herbal treatment.

And then it happened. Magic! A week into my prescribed daily 3 herbal drinks, the ‘magic potion’ worked! I am now in my first week of being completely pain-free, no more pills necessary. Still a bit frightened and incredulous, yet feeling more and more assured of the successful outcome.

I ask myself daily what benevolent spirit had pity on me and led me to find this extraordinary, kind, and unassuming, brilliant doctor who is proficient in both Eastern and Western medicine. I am in awe.

I wish all of you who suffer from TN to find the much-needed help with Dr. Hu as I was incredibly lucky to. Knowing him years ago would have saved me endless unnecessary suffering.

Dr. Hu is no more expensive than others, his clinic is relaxing, and he is very gentle and kind. He checked my tongue and took my pulse in each wrist, then asked me about the progression of my illness, meds taken, and other treatments received. He smiled encouragingly and proceeded to prepare the herbal compound. I can never thank Dr. Hu enough for what he did for me, but I promise to always pay it forward, knowing how many people are desperate to find help for TN, and are even willing to travel anywhere and do anything in order to find help. TCM to me is miraculous indeed.

I highly recommend Dr. Kevin Hu. He is a very skilled and practiced herbalist and acupuncturist. Kevin has a gentle, well-informed manner. His clinic is impeccably clean and genuinely presents as a nice place for relaxing and healing. Kevin provides the most impressive presentation about the acupuncture process before he begins working with a client for the first time—an explanation I had never heard before, despite having worked with many TCM acupuncture practitioners over the last seven years!

My story: I returned from living in Mexico, where I progressively became more and more sick over a number of months, to the point where I lost a lot of weight, my skin was covered in sores, I was not sleeping, and I was extremely cold. After three weeks of herbs and acupuncture, I was about 70% better. After five weeks, my energy was back and all of my symptoms were gone. I am returning to Mexico, but am now equipped with some strategies and natural remedies, all thanks to Dr. Hu.

Thank you again, Kevin. I look forward to seeing you again when I return to Victoria!

From my treatment experience, Dr. Kevin Hu provides the best acupuncture and Chinese medicine service in Victoria, BC. We recently moved from Montreal to Victoria, and I had suffered from severe sleeping and digestion problems since then, so I visited Dr. Hu’s clinic in December. Dr. Hu treats me very gently, and I didn’t feel any pain when the needles went through my skin. The outcome is amazing! It only took one acupuncture treatment to get my life back to normal. Dr. Hu is also very friendly, humble, and knowledgeable, and he is always patient in answering any questions about your treatment. I would also recommend his Chinese medicine service, as I’m continuing with the herbal treatment to improve the harmony of my body. It really makes me feel different, with more energy and less stress.

Mr N.R.; 2018

I found Dr. Kevin Hu by chance. I have a Congestive Heart Failure and I haven’t had much support from my cardiologist. Things were getting worse by the day.
I decided to look for alternative medicine. Something around acupuncture and herbs. I sent an email to a couple of the TCM practitioners here and Dr. Kevin Hu answered. He said that he was interested in my condition and that he might be able to help. We setup an appointment and I showed up at the set date and time.
The examination was around 1 hour. I could tell that Dr. Hu was deep in thought while scribbling something in Chinese on a piece of paper. He was checking my pulse on both hands; my tongue; my legs; blood pressure; eyes…
He then explained that he is recommending a slight acupuncture and a mix of herbs. I was lying for 40 minutes with acupuncture needles. Right after I could feel a change in my legs and feet and overall better than when I came in.
After taking Dr. Hu’s herbs for a week I couldn’t believe how so much better I felt. I could walk like when I was much younger. I haven’t had any shortness of breath. I ate better. I slept better. I was starting to feel happy again. I can only imagine what will more time give me. But as for now, after just a week of treatment, Dr. Kevin Hu did something that my cardiologist and all other doctors never did in the last 10 years.
I warmly, warmly recommend Dr. Kevin Hu. Go see him and you will see for yourself. Amazing results.
