Severe pain led me to have a total knee replacement. Yet after almost 2 years I still had significant pain. I was miserable. I saw my surgeon, a pain management physician, a physical therapist, did water aerobics and home exercises, and had two nerve blocks with no significant benefit. I was about to(reluctantly) have a stimulator implanted in my spine which supposedly reduces pain but thought I’d try acupuncture first. After 2 acupuncture and cupping sessions with Dr. Chen, I I began to feel my first relief from pain. It was amazing. I’ve been working with him for a little under two months and my knee is infinitely better. Now we are working on my hip bursitis. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a legitimate alternative to western medicine and I could not recommend Dr. Chen as a practitioner more enthusiastically. He welcomes questions and opportunities to teach his patients about TCM; he is kind and the utmost professional. I credit the combination of acupuncture, the cupping, and the Chinese herbs (customized for each of us) in Dr. Chen’s hands for how much better I feel and move and experience life. I will continue to refer others to him.

Dr. Chen is a skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate health care provider who provides results and relief. He represents very well the whole-body approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using only the level of intervention needed to result in improvement while supporting your body to balance and care for itself to the extent possible for the long term, without unnecessary intervention. Dr. Chen is never rushed, always spending whatever time is needed to discuss the current state of treatment for diagnosis, as well as any new questions and concerns I have. Adjustments are made at every visit to avoid over-treatment. My results include relief from migraine, balancing of age-related female health changes, relief from various head-to-toe aches and pains, and many others.

Dr. Chen restored me to health. I am very grateful to him. I had hyperthyroidism and my heart was beating so hard that every night I couldn't sleep. I took western medicine, but they have a lot of side effects, always make me dizzy, weak, evev unable to work, etc.And I got strong dependence on those drugs. But Dr.Chen's medicine and treatment make me very happy. Just two months, Dr. Chen changed my health.Now I am full of energy very day, and sleep like a rock, could enjoying my life. Chinese traditional medicine and treatment regulated from the human body itself in all directions, not only focus on individual part, so that's why I feel stronger and healther. Recently, I had COVID-19 and recovered very quickly under Dr. Chen's treatment. Once again, I would like to thank him for his superb medical skills and profound knowledge.👍

I feel very blessed in having found Welllife because it has indeed changed my life. I came in with a number of troubling problems that were frustrating me. I haven’t been able to cure all of them YET, but I trust I will, natural healing takes time, like Dr Chen told me. My worst problem was my memory, not being able to remember where I parked my car, not finding the right words to express my thoughts, yes, I dreaded the worst, dementia or Alzheimer’s. Now, after a few months of treatments, my husband and I have noticed a huge improvement , it really worked! I feel I’m getting better all the time. Dr Chen’s true caring and excellent bedside manner coupled with his doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine has been a Godsend for patients like myself and words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you Dr Chen!!!!!!

I have been to Dr. Chen numerous times over the last few months and would recommend him without a doubt. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and does amazing work. I feel great for days and days after my visits!

I came to Dr. Chen with severe back pain and sciatica. Six weeks and four treatments later, the pain is completely gone! I have had issues with my back on and off for the last 15 years. I have been to doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapy. I bought a TENS unit, inversion table, and various rollers, stretchers, and massagers over the years. Not everything worked but those that did would take MONTHS before I would see any significant results. When I inevitably injured my back again this year I did some research and found Dr. Chen. I'm glad I did! He is knowledgeable, friendly, and most of all effective. Highly recommended!

I have been going to Wellife acupuncture & herb for a couple years now. A friend referred me and since I have been going I noticed changes in my body. I had aches and pains that would interrupt my sleep, but since I been getting acupuncture they have diminished. Dr Chen is very knowledgeable and teaches me about Chinese medicine and how it works.

Rhonda Leifheit

Dr. Chen is remarkably skilled as a healer. Equally important, I appreciate his kindness and vast knowledge in the healing arts.

Missy Belken

Dr Chen is amazing at what he does. My husband and I have had many health issues over the past year. We have chose to go with the TCM route versus western medicine whenever possible. Dr Chen has us finally feeling like our old selves. I can not express how great he is. He is so caring and compassionate about his patients. And his knowledge is so broad. So glad we found him!!

I have been recovering from a neck injury since 2018 and again in 2019. I was feeling desperate as physical therapy was not helping to completely relieve the issue. I had good luck with acupuncture in the past but since moving to West County needed to find a new practitioner. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Chen! Not only did he help me work through my acute issues, but I continue to see him monthly for preventative health. With his combination of acupuncture, cupping and herbs I continue to improve and as the seasons and life stressors change knowing that I have someone to check-in with and help me stay ahead of major issues has brought tremendous piece of mind! Additionally, I am very impressed that he is also a teacher and have taken most of the continuing education classes he offers through the St. Louis Community College. He is very patient, kind and understanding and truly wants to share what he knows to help me, help myself.

Dr. Chen goes above and beyond with each patient. I have had acupuncture and cupping down to help with stiffness of the hip and lower back. The acupuncture has helped me get back on my feet without any discomfort. Highly recommend this business for your body needs.

Jen Solomon

I was referred to Dr. Chen by a close friend of mine and I’ve been seeing him for a few years now. He’s helped me with my overall female health as well as my facial nerve pain issues. When I first decided to make an appointment, I was willing to try almost anything before having to have surgery on my facial nerves... After 2 weeks of taking otc meds twice everyday to elevate the pain, I found relief pretty quickly... Within one/two sessions with him. I’m so glad I my friend recommended him. He helped me where traditional medicine couldn’t.

Tricia Asbury

Dr. Chen, is a kind and very knowledgeable doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. He has helped me understand what my body is doing and with the help of acupuncture and other forms of treatment, I have felt much better. I would encourage anyone to see Dr. Chen and see how he can help you feel better.

Mark Aylward

I really hurt my back in May.I spent two months in PT to decrease the intense pain but there was always a slight nagging pain which would get worse for a few days and go back to baseline. Lucky for me a friend referred me to Dr.Chen.After the fourth treatment my back felt a freedom of movement and that chronic low grade pain was gone. This was so important to me because in retirement I play golf frequently and now I can play without pain.Another plus is the herbal treatment has increased my energy and decreased the needs for naps. I sincerely suggest that this regimen of treatment be incorporated into our daily search for a healthy and pain free existence in our lives. Life is more enjoyable without the distractions of pain. We can't solve many of life's distractions, but Dr. Chen can help with a BIG one. Dr. Mark W. Aylward D.D.S.

Dr. Chen has helped me regain my health and make me strong again. It was discovered that I had too much dampness in my system. I had discussed with A dear friend about my desire to find a doctor who could diagnose issues by looking at your tongue like some of the Asian doctors. She said that she and her daughter recently attended a lecture at Meramec Community College from Dr. Alex Chen at their continuing education health and wellness class. She had his card. He actually mentioned that he looked at one’s tongue as well as other assessments to see how their body is functioning. So it’s been two years since I have been his patient now. And in my opinion it’s good for us to monitor our own tongues too. Check your tongue out before and after a long walk or treatment. You will notice subtle changes. His acupuncture treatments and herbs along with following his advice helped reverse some declining health issues. We talked about getting back into good routines and walking every day for at least 20 minutes. He said that following good routines are chapter one in the Chinese Medicine Books. I couldn’t be more pleased with his treatments and have had many friends and family be seen by him for treatments. That he also teaches Tai Chi as well as giving other continued education classes at Meramec Community College is a bonus. Not to mention helping all of us with better nutrition and sleep advice as well. I highly recommend his expertise. I have been fortunate to have highly professional Accupuncturist in our community over the years. And I agree with another patient. He is the real deal. Now do your most excellent breathing as one professional would say during treatments and relax and lean into the process.

I learned about Dr. Chen and his Traditional Chinese Medicine practice through classes he teaches at St. Louis Community College- Meramec. TCM appealed to me because I was unhappy with the lack of relief/help that Western Medicine protocol was providing me. I believe that the acupuncture, cupping and herbs that Dr. Chen provides me, in addition to my own updated regimen of lifestyle and dietary practices, has been the key to my recent improvement for a condition that has been decreasing my quality of life for a long time. Dr. Chen is a compassionate, intuitive and knowledgeable practitioner of TCM who takes the time to explain principles and answer any questions you have. I will always recommend Dr. Chen to anyone who suffers from pain because of my experience with him thus far.

David Brauch

I had a host of general aches and pains plus I smoked, so I thought that I would give acupuncture a try. Well I haven’t had a cigarette since my first appointment and I haven’t felt this good in probably twenty years. If you have any anxiety about acupuncture, Dr Chen puts you immediately at ease with his easy going style and seem only too happy to answer any of your questions. I was getting tired of Western Medicine just treating my symptoms but with Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Chen seems to be treating my problems. He seems to be able to see the whole picture, not just a little part of it. I always feel great when I leave a visit! You should try him, you have nothing to lose and take it from me, he can change your life.

Denise Acinelli

I met Dr Chen when I took a TCM class. My husband and I even took an acupressure class with him. We both have seen him for acupuncture and cupping. He has treated my menopause symptoms and rosacea which are almost non existent. My husband was treated for his bad back and numbness down his leg which have improved. At the beginning of Covid-19 Dr Chen met with us virtually to discuss any health concerns we had and made herbs available to us at a convenient pick up box at his office. We both recommend him to all our friends and family.

Dr. Alex Chen is a highly skilled compassionate practitioner who uses his skills and a vast knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine for great healing and overall wellness. Since being treated, I have noticed great changes in my body, mind, and spirit and am grateful for Dr. Chen's willingness to listen and then apply his skills to help me gain and maintain balance.

Kelly Cisco

Dr. Chen is amazing. He listens well to your needs and treats the whole body. He is very thorough in his treatments. Treatments are usually about one hour after the initial visit. This treatment supports the body in healing itself. 5 stars all the way. Our 2019 health plan will include regular visits to Wellife.

Sienna Feher

I came to see Dr. Chen starting a few months ago in order to improve my overall health and energy level. Since working with Dr. Chen, in addition to his lifestyle and diet recommendations, my digestion, energy level, sleep, and overall wellness has improved greatly. Very grateful for him and his practice!

Nancy Wolff

Doctor Chen is excellent! He is very professional and thorough in explaining any treatment he recommends. He works with you in a kind and caring manner. I highly recommend him to family and friends. I am very pleased with my health improvements as a result of herbs and acupuncture with Doctor Chen!

Dr. Chen, After my diagnosis of tonsil cancer in April 2018 a friend recommended acupuncture as a complementary treatment to manage the side effects of the chemotherapy and radiation protocol that I was about to begin. The side effects that I experienced included difficulty swallowing, mouth sores, dry mouth, lack of saliva production, destruction of taste buds, constipation and acid reflux. As I began to incorporate your acupuncture treatment into my treatment plan, the side effects became less severe, more manageable and, according to my radiation oncologist, my recovery time was reduced significantly. I can't prove it, but I feel confident that the acupuncture treatment, combined with the herb recipe that you provided, was a key to my recovery. Now that my chemo and radiation treatments are complete, I will continue the acupuncture regimen on a regular basis. Thank you for taking time to understand my disease and formulate a plan for me. I think the acupuncture was an invaluable part of my treatment and improved results of the typical protocol for treating my tonsil cancer. Tom Thornton

Dr. Chen is very knowledgeable and treats the underlying cause of the illness using traditional Chinese medicine techniques. The combination of Acupuncture, Herbal medicine and dietary recommendations helped a lot in recovering. Highly recommended for all sorts of health issues.

Janet Renda

After seeing Dr. Chen a few times I started feeling alive again. I feel like he is saving my life from the inside out. My primary care Dr. says my blood results show I’m fine though internally I knew something wasn’t working right. It is a process worth discovering. Very happy 😊 …

Diane Franklin

I began seeing Dr. Chen to address a recurring sinus infection and cough with wheezing. My symptoms improved after the first visit. But more than that, Dr. Chen has been helping me to address basic body functions that have not been in balance. I love the way TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) addresses the whole body, not just symptoms. Dr. Chen has patiently educated me about the principles of TCM. The classes he teaches at Meramec Community College are informative. I am so grateful to him for his help, kindness, and wisdom.

D Ryberg

The first time I went to Dr. Chen was for pain relief after a bad fall. My primary care physician had told me there was nothing else that would help me. One visit to Dr. Chen and my pain was reduced by 50%. I continue to go as needed for maintenance treatment. I recommend him without reservation.

Nancy Groth

I enthusiastically endorse Dr. Alex Chen, a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) who learned TCM in Taiwan. He’s the real deal who employs a variety of techniques to support patients’ bodies’ ability to heal themselves. A typical session begins with Dr. Chen “listening” to your pulse by placing his fingertips on your wrists. This, together with a look at your tongue and some routine questions about your body’s functioning (e.g. sleep quality, bowel movements, thirst levels) help him to diagnose any imbalances and address them using TCM techniques like acupuncture. My initial visits were for help with a mysterious rash around my eyes, which western medical doctors had proven unable to heal. Each session brought welcome relief and the TCM techniques were a significant support as I worked with dermatologists to identify the underlying cause of the rash. Once that was resolved I discovered that I could turn to Dr. Chen for a variety of other ailments. He has provided rescue from my chronic sinus infections and migraine symptoms, helped with ear pain from a blocked eustachian tube, averted an onset of vertigo before symptoms became severe, relieved knee pain and many other aches and pains. He is a patient educator, explaining how TCM identifies and addresses concerns. For instance my body tends to hold excessive ”“heat” and “damp” — terms which have specific meaning in TCM. Dr. Chen develops a treatment to reduce these imbalances and makes recommendations regarding diet, lifestyle, and more, to allow Righteous Chi to prevail and support natural healing. Even though this may not fit with your preconception of how medicine (western) works, I recommend that you give it a try. You will be amazed at the results!

Alex Chen has helped me immensely with arthritis pain in my neck and hot flashes. The acupuncture and back/spinal accupressure is a wellness treat. The acupuncture is a great meditation time for me.
