~"Dr Hwang, I really appreciated that you cured and took care of my health. You cured my arthritis fingers with the treatment of acupuncture and herb medicine. Also I don't feel any pain on my chest that I had the pain from the stress along with the anxiety since you gave me the treatment of acupuncture only a few times. Again I'm so thankful to you for what you have done for me."

~"My name is Mary Kim, and I'm the owner for the clothing store located in California for the last 11 years. Dr Hwang was our family doctor for the last 3 years. Before I met Dr. Hwang, I had many problems in my body physically including Liver problem, anxiety, Hyp-B. However, after meeting Dr. Hwang, I had received from him many different herbs that cured my body. Dr. Hwang has a wonderful sense of the responsibility of being our family doctor and knew how to treat his patience. Besides his great knowledge on his professional field, I can't say enough wonderful things about this man a

s he has such a personality that once you start talking to him, you find out your dealing with a man of integrity and reason and understanding beyond his years. He is driven and has compassion for others at the same time."

~"I have struggled with acne since I was in junior high, frequently visiting dermatologists who gave me prescriptions after prescriptions. When I was sixteen I finally found Anke and now I don't let a single other person work on my face. 9 years later I still see Anke and travel down from Los Angeles to San Diego just to receive my facials. Anke actually cares about my skin and making it look good."

~"When I first came to A.Serenity I had no pigmentation in the areas around my mouth as a result of a poorly done procedure by a plastic surgeon. I had to wear a lot of makeup to hide the difference between the areas that had pigment and those that did not. Over time, the course of action that Anke recommended has made a huge difference. I wear very little makeup now and my skin feels and looks 100% better. Anke's enthusiasm for her work is inspiring and I trust her completely. I highly recommend her services - whether it is for a relaxing facial or something more complex."

~"All treatments offered at A.Serenity are really top of the line. Having lived in Beverly Hills, I was use to the best treatments and it was difficult to find a place in San Diego who would offer the quality and services that I was use to. It took a long time for me to find a place that I liked. A.Serenity has certainly met those expectations. The most impressive facial treatments for me have been the Microdermabrasion, the Oxygen Treatment including the Oxygen C Facial. Being that I have super-sensitive skin and minor scarring due to acne when I was a teenager, these 3 treatments have been incredible having my friends and family notice significant changes in my appearance. I'm thrilled!"

"In regards to waxing, I've been waxing for 20 years and am so delighted as to having found a wax that absolutely prevents any redness and irritation. I haven't found another place in San Diego that uses this wax and if they do they do not know how to apply it as it needs special skills in the application and pulling process."

~"I have suffered from back and shoulder pains for over ten years due to sports injuries. Following the recommendation of a friend, I decided to try acupuncture with Dr. Kenny. I immediately felt a difference in my shoulders, and a slight reduction in the pain in my lower back. I was unsure of the treatment process and what would happen, but Dr Kenny explained it to me and helped me feel comfortable about the treatment. I plan to continue down this line of therapy since the results are immediate."
