Eastern Balance Traditional Chinese Medicine - Houston, Texas

Victoria Pittman

Get ready for a life changing experience and actual healing! I was looking for herbalist who does acupuncture in the Heights. I stumbled across this place via Google, looked at the site, called and made an appointment. I felt I should go here and took a chance. My goal was to find someone who can help me shrink my fibroids, I got that and more.

I've been going for a month the time of this review. With working with Dr. Gong my bloated stomach is slow shrinking because my digestive tract is healing. My monthly menstruation drama is slowing, had a normal flow, cramps minimal. The biggest surprise of all, that was a byproduct was my anxiety and depression is decreaing to almost none. With the healing work she is doing with my kidneys, it has allowed my emotions to flow out. I have higher clarity of thought. I have higher energy and feel like the inner me has grown higher and wider. My body and mind is steadily healing and balancing.

Now, I follow her instructions for habit changes and mindset changes. I drink the herbal teas and take the herbs as she prescribes. I'm also open and share what's going on so she can help. Dr. Gong and staff are very kind, knowledgeable, compassionate people. They truly want you to be healed. I will update my review to share my progress in the coming months.

From the moment I read Eastern Balance’s reviews, I knew I just had to go there. I don’t know if you’ve ever had the experience of going to an MD (or more than one) and explaining what is going on with your body to have them tell you “I don’t believe in that” or “That’s not a thing.” It’s very crushing. I have EMF Sensitivity issues. Which means that when they did the 5G rollout in Houston and installed all these antennas while we were in quarantine, by the time they started opening up the city, I suffered so much. Started feeling body aches, headaches, weakness, arrhythmia and tight chest. I even went out to the country side for a weekend and although I felt the effects less, they were still present. I was beginning to loose hope. Then I went to see Dr. Gong knowing that Chinese Medicine and acupuncture had helped me with other issues in the past. She read my symptoms and immediately said, “EMF sensitivity. We can work together to correct that.” Just the hope and acknowledgment alone was a huge step forward for me. Knowing there was someone who understood and was positive about correcting this. I’ve been going there for almost 3 months for acupuncture and treatment at the Houston Heights location and am so much stronger. I went from my body going into a complete panic when I was out for too long to being able to function without the pain and having certainty that if I do experience mild pain once in a while, it is not permanent. I’m so thankful for Dr Gong and Eastern Balance. I’ve also been bringing family members and friends who have gotten better. Even some with some viral activity, they were able to help recover quickly with the teas they prepare and a phone consult. Finding this practice has been a true blessing.

I read the review about their teas and it's true, they don't really tell you what's in the tea. Maybe if they can start producing ingredients, that would be helpful. But the acupuncture and the massages are excellent. I went to another acupuncturist and I left in worse pain then when I arrived and she only placed needles on the point of pain. The doctors here placed needles in various locations throughout my body explaining why along the way and it was a very good experience overall. Later, I started the massages. The massage was life changing for me. I have more range of movement, the pain is completely gone in most areas, and I'm able to do things I wasn't before. I go back often now and strongly recommend them. In fact, I recommended a close friend and now she regularly goes for a massage as well.

I've been seeing Dr. Gong for over 2 years off and on for various conditions and have had great success! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional doctor that is understanding and compassionate and will leave you feeling confident about healing whatever you came in with. I've had successful treatment for mental health, chronic headaches, muscle strains, digestive issues, and more. She usually prescribes tea along with the acupuncture treatment, and I highly recommend following the herbal recommendations as they help continue treating the issue in-between sessions. Taking the herbs has also been a daily reminder and accountability factor to make whatever lifestyle changes to help my condition. Her newly hired practitioners are great as well! Everyone in the office is kind and helpful with any questions I may have, and they are very responsive and flexible if you need to reschedule. I truly believe in the healing benefits of Eastern medicine, it's helped me a great deal! Thanks to everyone at Eastern Balance!

I feel truly fortunate to have found Dr Ellen Gong. Before seeing her, I did a bunch of lab tests and none of my Western doctors could tell me what happened to my joints and overall health. But Dr Gong was able to heal me. I feel better and I’m still going thru my treatment, which takes longer than western medicine but is also more gentle to your body. I have been going weekly for 3-4 months and wish I could afford to go twice a week. Highly recommended.

I started seeing Dr. Gong a couple of months ago after my OBGYN said surgery was the only option. I can’t begin to describe how much of a God send Dr. Gong has been for myself and those around me, who are able to see the change in my entire outlook. She not only has helped me physically to remove this physical issue, but is insanely intuitive to mental and emotional struggles and is very gentle in her approach. I needed this in my life and am so glad I got in right away….I almost went to another acupuncturist and my gut led me to Eastern Balance. Life changing!!

My husband has been going to EBOM clinic now for over ten years and honestly, I thought it was just an excuse to get out of the house - but, what I realized is that it is for him - and now me, a way of life. Dr. Ellen Gong and her team are more than doctors, they are healers, counselors, therapists and, most importantly, they become your teammates. Dr. Gong's philosophy is a wholistic approach to understanding her patients and developing a caring, nurturing relationship so she is able to focus on you - not what's physically ailing you... I first became a patient in May of 2022 after having been to numerous doctors unable to "heal" me and what we found out was to "heal" - work needed to be done on myself, get myself strong, then the healing would come... A year and a half later, thanks to Dr. Gong and her team, I am a changed person for the better. Acupuncture is more than needles, it's meditating, it's walking in nature, it's laughing, it's the little things - and these little things are what's most important to Dr. Gong.
I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

I have known Dr. Gong for a while and I can’t say enough good things about the way she handles every visit. The last one impressed me the most as I felt her healing energy going through my entire body. It was a unique moment. That particular day I went to see her because I needed a reset after a traumatizing medical emergency with my husband. By the end of the session, I felt grounded and the emotional pain I had in my chest was gone.
