Insight Family Medicine We only do private (in-person and phone) sessions and work with a wide range of issues. Some of the work we have done with much success recently includes:

Test Anxiety, Performance Improvement - Resolve the stress/anxiety that's been holding you back so that you can reach your full potential and play your very best.
Weight Loss - Most people eat as a way of distracting from a bad feeling such as boredome or stress. We can help with this and with your habits, behaviors and more!
Stop Smoking, Nail-biting - Rather than shifting symptoms, we work on resolving the stress, the triggers so that you naturally adopt healthier behaviors.
Fears - such as fear of dentists, driving, being on stage, death, being underwater, making presentations, or changing jobs. We also work with Anxiety and Phobias when referred by a doctor or psychologist.

General Nervousness - Global feeling of being unsettled or uncomfortable.
Relationship Issues - Forgiving family members, getting over betrayal.
Ongoing Sadness - Either from a specific loss such as a death in the family, loss of career, divorce or a general sad feeling that has become a way of life.
Habits and behaviors - hair pulling, bed-wetting, nail-biting and any other "too much" behavior like drinking too much, working too much, etc.
Anger Resolve - For the person who just gets too mad too often, and has had enough of it.
Emotional Mess - For those with many unresolved emotions at play. These people tend to cry too often or easily, takes things personally, and/or feel too guilty, frightened, mad or sad.
Chronic Illnesses - The body's natural tendency is towards healing. When we release the blockages, the body is finally allowed to do its perfect job: healing.

Your program will begin with a Set For Success session. During this session we'll spend as much time as necessary to establish a foundation for success. Sessions are participatory. You're always aware, able to hear sounds, move around. You may be very excited or very relaxed. You're always in control. You can stop any time, go to the restroom if the need arises.

It's like a journey of self-discovery and transformation; a learning experience which allows you to make positive change. The problem you face is unique yours so is the solution. Changes can occur in weeks not years. On average, 6 sessions, scheduled 1 week apart are required. Typically the third session is a breakthrough experience.

We help you release internal and external stresses, so that you move towards health and ease.

Has that helped RESOLVING the issue? Or does it KEEP COMING BACK? WHY? Imagine communicating with a 1 yr old, using logics or will power. Your subconscious mind (feelings, habits, automatic responses) and body is like a 1 yr old! How do you get a 1 yr old to cooperate? If your logical mind could have resolved the issue, it would have, wouldn't it?

I started seeing Dr. Wang in January 2021 at the height of my fibromyalgia pain and psychological breakdown. Prior to seeing Dr. Wang, I had spent several years seeing top medical doctors, physical therapists and psychiatrists to no avail in addressing my physical and mental issues ranging from depression and anxiety due to past traumas. Unfortunately, all they provided were suppression medicine that would only delay the future outbreak of pain via fibromyalgia and emotional pain and no help in curing me over a couple of decades of trying. Finally, in a last-ditch attempt, I tried acupuncture therapy to address my physical and emotional pain.

This decision was a life-saver for me. Dr Wang's method of traditional acupuncture combined with herbal medicine and hypnosis has been the only thing that has helped me. I highly recommend Dr. Wang for whomever is seeking to heal themselves both physically and emotionally. Dr. Wang is an extremely kind and patient practitioner of acupuncture and hypnosis, who shares with you the healthy way of healing and living a better life.

My advice is to seek her help and trust the process she creates for you, as it requires patience with the 'natural' way of healing which unlike Westernized medicine of suppression. It takes time, but you are on the path to healing, unless the pills prescribed by medical doctors which only address short term pain, but never the root cause of the issue.

I went to Emily with pain from a torn rotator cuff. After the very first session my pain was at least 50% better. After 8 sessions with Emily and 5 months of physical therapy I am back to playing tennis and golf.

We were referred to Dr Emily Wang a few weeks ago and after a couple sessions my back pain began to diminish. She treated me with such a calm, gentle, warm approach. She took time to understand my symptoms, laid out a plan and followed up on my progress and at home treatment as well. I am very grateful I went to her practice so if you are looking for immense knowledge, patience and attention to care, I highly recommend Dr Emily Wang. (Ina)

Emily Wang is an excellent practitioner. I went to her for treatment for several different ailments, including circulatory issues, bruising, neck pain, digestive issues, and fatigue. All were a result of symptoms of leukemia; as I was on "watch and wait" for impending treatment. My acupuncture sessions, along with her expertise in TCM absolutely helped to relieve my symptoms and rejuvenate me physically, energetically, as well as emotionally.

She was also successful as I saw improvements in my bloodwork. Emily also helped to treat my daughter for chronic neck pain. Her acupuncture techniques have alleviated her pain, when nothing else seemed to help. Emily's practical dietary advice and daily living habits advice, which I continue to this day, have been invaluable and have become part of my everyday routine. Emily is thoughtful, caring, compassionate and dedicated to her practice, and an expert in her field. Her presence is calming and peaceful. I highly recommend Emily Wang!

Dr. Emily Wang is the most trusted medical professional I always rush to in times of need. I truly appreciate her professional insight, thorough examination, sharp questioning and compassionate care. I have seen Dr. Wang for problems that ranged from migraines to back pain to urinary infection and her knowledge and her acupuncture skills never let me down! I wholeheartedly THANK YOU, Dr. Wang!

Initially, my dad started going there because of a rotary cuff injury. My dad could barely lift his arm up. After ONE session with Dr. Emily, my dads arm was able to lift! It was amazing. Since he had such good results, I decided to get treated for my depression/ anxiety & weight loss. During the appointment, Dr. Emily noticed that my heart valve was not closing properly.

She determined this because my feet were cold and touched some nerves in my back. After taking some herbs and doing acupuncture, my body has done a complete 360! I used to be so lazy (like the gym and basic things) but now I have so much energy and that's helped me a lot even with the weight loss and depression/ anxiety. So glad we were referred by a friend to see her.

I went for acupuncture therapy with Emily in Insight Family medicine for chronic back, neck stiffness and pain due to TMJ. I had not tried Chinese medicine like acupuncture before and was a bit hesitant. That has been one of best decisions by me to decide to go. Not only did the acupuncture sessions provide me the necessary short term relief for the pain (without taking pain medications) that I had previously chosen to live with for years as no cure exists, Emily also suggested exercises, stretches, meditation etc that helped me with the necessary tools to manage the causes of TMJ and associated pain.

More recently I had a severe case of acid reflux with regurgitations, breathing trouble and heart burns that OTC as well as prescription allopathic medicine (H2 blockers or Proton pump inhibitors) could not cure even with 2 week course of medicine. Emily recommended Chinese herbal medicine that simply cured it within 2/3 days. That was fantastic. Emily is extremely professional, thorough and a highly sincere and caring person and she communicates the diagnosis very effectively. So I highly recommend Insight family medicine for Chinese herbal and acupuncture therapy. - Srivatsan Varadarajan

I used Dr Wang's acupuncture services for inducing labor as I did not want to get be induced with pitocin (recommended by my OBGYN). My treatment was on Friday afternoon and I got my 1st contraction within 24 hours.

I have been seeing Dr. Wang for almost two years now, and she has helped me with a variety of health issues, and also release of past emotions. A few notable conditions: I had what I believe was a bowel obstruction, had terrible abdominal pain, fever, and other symptoms. I called Dr. Wang and she was able to see me immediately, she gave me an acupuncture session with some herbs.

I felt relief but was still not recovered, so she sent me home with some additional herbs. By evening the bowels were moving and I felt I had a complete detox. I felt weak, but so much better, healthier. In the morning she gave me an additional herb to heal my stomach, and by that evening I was almost back to normal. I have had IBS for most of my life, , and she has almost cured me of this!

Another amazing session, I had injured my hand doing yoga and could barely open and close it. She did acupuncture and by the end of the session my hand was completely pain free and I could move it freely! Amazing and fast healing! I go to Dr. Wang for almost everything now, from colds, allergies, GI issues, injuries. She has been so wonderful and compassionate and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that would like to be healthy and live a natural life without medications and medical procedures!

Emily is the best doc I have ever come across in my life. Not only is she an expert Accupuncturist but also a compassionate, kind, caring understanding, patient, soft spoken & loving being. I owe my recovery from horrible leg muscles burning, menopause issues, lower & upper back ache and knee pains, to her than my PCP. She gave me Chinese herbs, lent the Accupuncture pen, taught me some exercises & gave tips on good eating and sleeping habits. God forbid, if ever in future I have any health issues, I will run to her without batting an eye lid. Highly recommend her.

I have seen people being treated by acupuncture and getting great results but I had never tried personally until last week. I have been in severe pain for several months because of a herniated disc and Emily was able to alleviate the pain drastically in the first session. it was actually fun to see that to treat my ankle I need to have the needles someplace in my wrist.

She made me understand with simple examples how the treatment works and how I need to help myself as well. I will return because I believe I found the best treatment to my herniated disc.

Thank you yelpers! What a great recommendation! I had my first appointment with Dr. Wang to help with my anxiety surrounding childbirth. I actually started feeling significantly better after our first appointment! I don't understand why the hypnosis worked, but it just seems magical. What a great recommendation!

I went to Dr. Wang for help with weight loss but have gotten so much more. My mind, body, and relationships are healthier than they have ever been. I don't feel like I am on a diet or as though I have had to give anything up but have been easily losing weight. In the past when I have tried different approaches to weight loss I have felt hopeful that they would work but in the end they never do.

This time, I know it is going to work and that I'll be able to make this a permanent change so I don't gain the weight back. The techniques she has taught me and supported through hypnosis and acupuncture have not only helped me lose weight but made my body feel much healthier in general. It feels like it is running efficiently and smoothly, as it should.

Beyond the weight loss, she helped me work through some old hurt that I have been carrying around most of my life. I have gone to traditional therapy before and found it helpful for specific issues but this is different than that. It feels like she has guided me through my general hurt which isn't tied to a specific incident but a lifetime of baggage and trying to ignore it.

Now when I think about things in my past that used to make me feel sad, I simply see it as something sad that happened but no longer feel emotional. This has helped my relationships, particularly with my family, because I no longer feel resentment that used to plague me. Dr. Wang is an incredibly special, healing person and I feel so thankful for her work and what she's done for me.

I've suffered from joint pain in my hands for more than 2 years. Emily Wang patiently performed acupuncture and electric shock to my body. When the session was over, the joint pain was completely gone. She also gave me instructions on how to perform the technique on a daily basis to prevent the discomfort indefinitely. Emily is also seeing my daughter who is having some behavioral issues.

I truly trust her feedback and appreciate the persistence in the healing work she has demonstrated with me and my daughter. I always look forward to visiting her office and know if I'm having any issues physical or mental she will perform a miracle cure.

I started seeing Emily once my wife found out about her work through her friends. I have allergies, chemical sensitivities and asthma. I have been seeing Emily to improve my health and also my athletic performance. I have been working on hypnosis and the benefits were quite instant for me and it has been remarkable. I am much more focused and in the zone as an athlete and I deal with stress a lot better.

I noticed huge difference in short time. It has been improving all aspects of my life. My food sensitivities and chemical intolerance have improved dramatically over the last 2 months I have been working with her and I look forward to my seasons. My immune systems has been responding well and getting stronger. It has been a life changing experience. Emily breaks down the technique and teaches you how to get in this state.

It has been an amazing tool. I worked on transcendental meditation for about 5 years and studied, breathing techniques and yoga but this technique has been the most powerful I came across. I highly recommend Emily to everyone and have been always recommending her to my friends and family.

Dr. Wang is a wonderful caregiver. She is very compassionate and incredibly patient. Her soothing voice and gentle demeanor put you at ease right away. She not only treats you in the office, but also teaches you how to help yourself and gives you the tools necessary to work through issues at home. She is very knowledgeable and has many techniques.

She is willing to work with you to find the best treatment option. She is also very observant and picks up on other clues to help you understand the true needs of your body. I am very thankful to have found her.

I visited Dr. Wang to treat my stomach issues with acupuncture. She is very professional, taking a comprehensive look at overall health on top of acupuncture. She asked very thorough and in-depth questions about my lifestyle and gave tips to improve my well-being, such as changing parts of my diet and adopting better postures. Not only have my symptoms improved, I feel much better overall. I cannot recommend her services enough!

I have been having issues with my weight and found that accupuncture is one way to help you lose stubborn fats and water retention. I found Insight Family Medicine while searching the internet and read great reviews about the clinic. I was hesitant at first because I never had accupuncture in my life, but when I met Dr Emily Wang, she is so calm, approachable and listens to all your concerns.

She gives advises to help you cope with your issues and have great results. I lost a total of 13 lbs on my second week of session. The accupuncture is very relaxing, you would wanna do it everyday. So good it is addicting !!!

I started seeing Emily for acupuncture at the beginning of my 5th IVF cycle. She is very knowledgeable and has been a tremendous care provider. I'm now pregnant from that cycle and will continue to see her until I deliver. I would definitely recommend her to others going through infertility treatments or just for overall health improvement.

Dr Wang was very knowledgeable and compassionate. It was an amazing experience and I recommend it to anyone. I went for pregnancy turn around of a breech baby and also got support for sinus and foot discomfort and left feeling 100% better. The baby turned and I learned a deeper breathing technic to support me through labor. Her calm, sweet spirit was comforting and made it easy to follow her instructions.

I am going to take my loved one there as well for insomnia and neck and back pain because she can help. Thank you Dr. Emily Wang, may the Lord bless you for helping me in my time of need.

Emily gently guides the process of hypnotherapy, as I share my stories and she suggests affirmations we talk through. Emily may invite me to do some tapping, Emotional Freedom Technique, as we move through the process. In addition, she may add needles to support the system as she deems effective. When with Emily I body, mind, spirit, feel held in safe hands as I loosen the tension and relax myself back in the chair, letting go of old mind stuff as I experience much welcomed relaxation. The process with Emily helps me move through the important process of accepting, releasing, and relaxing. THANK YOU! I've already scheduled my next appointment.

Emily has been supporting me through the births of both my babies, during pregnancy and postpartum, and she has been a life-saver. Her thoughtfulness and listening are powerful and i always leave treatment feeling like “myself.” I would recommend Emily to anyone looking for support during life transitions, chronic or acute pain, emotional stress, and anyone seeking knowledgeable help for real healing. Thank you, Emily!!
