4 Branches Chinese Medicine Center 2546 Reynolda Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27106

"My Chinese Wife suggested that I try acupuncture to alleviate my chronic joint and muscle pain. Im open to pretty much anything if it seems reasonable. I honestly had no idea what to expect. Its a very relaxing place. The treatment was very different from anything I've ever experienced. I felt very unusual for a few hours afterwards. But soon enough i felt all the bad stuff pent up in my body leave me and i was left feeling physically relieved and a little tired. Its a very good feeling and i think i will rest well tonight. Definitely going back to cleanse my body of all the negative energy. I would definitely recomment everyone try this at leadt once if they any sort of physical issues that just wont go away."

"I am fond of 4 Branches Chinese Medicine. Having received acupuncture there several times while passing through Winston-Salem, I have been consistently pleased with the services of Mr. Andres, from his courtesy, friendliness, and professionalism, to the treatments themselves. Also, Andres' practice is, in my experience, fairly unique, due to the addition of the medical qi gong element, as to be distinguished from "normal" acupuncture (and, for me at least, somewhat more effective and with greater permanence). To top it all off, the rates are reasonable, the office is wonderfully peaceful, and the online booking system is functional and convenient. I have zero complaints about 4 Branches, and will likely return in the future. My thanks goes out to Andres and all associated with this outfit. I am grateful for, and have benefited from, your work and service. Keep it up!"

"I have been to the community acupuncture clinic several times for hormone imbalance after weaning. I felt so much better after just one session and continued to see more improvement as I returned. It is a bit of a different experience than other clinics I have been to, but I got great results!"

"I started seeing Michele four years ago after being referred by my nutritionist for low energy. Due to having a mechanical heart valve and taking blood thinners, I had to be extremely careful of any medicines that I took. At the time, I was unfamiliar with Chinese Medicine and did not know what to expect. The initial consultation was very thorough and focused on me as a whole person, which I had never experienced before. When I started taking the herbs I noticed with the first formula that I had more energy, less headaches and it helped me to be more focused. At one point, I was told I needed to have surgery. The formulas she has prescribed have helped and I have not had to have surgery. I am very thankful for Michele and her practice. She is compassionate, skilled and has a calm positive energy. Few people realize their calling and follow it, Michele has done just this and is a highly respected Chinese Herbalist. My primary physician is very supportive of my decision to see Michele and take the formulas she prescribes. Through the qi gong classes she and Andres offer, I have been able to enhance my personal practice of qi gong. The instruction they offer during each class is simple to understand and thorough. I can honestly say that I am living a more balanced and meaningful life due to both Michele and Andres."

"Michele & Andres are exceptional! My family has very complex issues. We actually discovered this dynamic duo when I asked a practitioner for an alternative to long term antibiotics. She suggested that we try herbs. I left a message for Michele & she promptly returned my call. I expected her to respond that we seemed to complicated & she would be uncomfortable assisting us. I was wrong! She welcomed the opportunity to meet with my family. Michele has a grounding peace about her that is comforting!! She knows her stuff & has helped with nutrition, herbs, and Qi Gong. She quickly grasped the issues & never hesitated on the plan! She always seems to know what is needed especially with the most complex of situations! She knows just what to ask to encourage growth & understanding! We then met Andres, Uncle Andres, as the kids call him. He has a fun loving sense about him & he makes us smile. His laugh is contagious. He takes acupuncture very serious & is dedicated to results for the client. I have a child with immune suppression & 99% of the time we can reduce symptoms with acupuncture if we act quickly. He teaches us Qi Gong & does it with the kids to make sure they understand. This empowers the family to care for themselves! He has a special way with herbs as well! I love to see the collaboration between the two of them. The complexity of our cases once worried me but they have developed a plan that works. We sometimes have to switch from one blend to another but they are available & always advise as to the best plan. They are quick to understand the issues. It is very rare that we find practitioners that truly understand! They are truly gifted in what they do!! There is no guess work going on here! Success!! We have found success in these modalities! Less frequent visits to the doctor. We have come to love, love, love herbs!!!! Our medical physicians are asking what we are doing! They see the difference! Root cause is addressed while also addressing symptom relief. We will be forever thankful that we were led to Andres & Michele. If you are wondering: Does this work? Do they see children? Will this help? YES! Allow the magical gifts of energy & the Earth to work through these two. You will be glad you did!!"
