| Patient Comment: |
Dr. Ma is Department Chair of Clinical Practice
at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in NYC.
Although he doesn't specialize in Hep C,
he is so skilled that I highly recommend him.
(I've used Chinese medicine for years to control
my Hep and have seen Dr. Ma for the past 2 years,
with excellent results.) He has a private
clinic twice a week in midtown Manhattan.
Alternatively, the senior students at Pacific College
of Chinese Medicine
(915 Broadway, 3rd Floor, NYC 10010,
Phone: 212-982-4600) treat patients 5 days a week
under supervision, and the fees are
ridiculously low: $25 a visit, 4th visit is free.
