Pediatric Testimonials
My daughter had severe asthma at age 9. Several lung specialists had given her different inhalers. The results were temporary and she was getting worse day by day. I took her to Dr Mohammadi for acupuncture. Following the first treatment, unbelievably she slept lying down on her back. She hadn’t been able to sleep in this position since she was 6. During the course of the treatment she got rid of most of the inhalers. I wish more kids could benefit from acupuncture. It is amazing how fast it can work in children. Thanks to Dr Mohammadi with her knowledge in Western and Eastern pediatric medicine.

Ugly eczemas in my daughter hands were quickly removed by acupuncture. Dr. Mohammadi as a pediatrician knows how to make connection with kids. I wasn’t sure if my daughter could bear needles but she did and in fact she was looking forward to each treatment with her kind and caring Dr.

Psoriasis is the name of the disease of my son which caused him to be shy in front of everyone including his friends. We used several meds prescribed by dermatologists with mild results. Finally we heard about Dr.Mohammadi, a pediatrician and acupuncturist. Dr.Mohammadi treated him with acupuncture and moxa (the heat of a plant which is rolled to form a stick). We saw the patches were fading and shrinking quickly and they disappeared in a course of a few months. There was no itching and no scaling. We are grateful to Dr. Mohammadi who saved our teenager son.

I have been an elementary educator in Washington’s public school system for the last twenty plus years. Over the course of my teaching career, I have taught many students who have struggled with attending skills, had difficulty focusing and sustaining their attention, and/or who have struggled with impulse control/self regulation or hyperactivity. A host of different labels are often assigned to these children and quite often families face the difficult decision to either medicate their child, or do nothing and watch their child flounder. I’ve also known families that have turned to special diets to help their children. This year I saw a remarkable transformation in one of 8 years old students that piqued my curiosity. His previous teachers had told me all about his outbursts and behavioral challenges as well as his attention deficit. Without going into detail, let me just say that it became very clear that this was going to be a looong school year! He gave me a real run for my money! And then, over the course of three to four weeks, a strange thing happened- his behavior began to change right before my eyes. His whole body seemed to calm. At first I was suspicious, expecting his behavior to spike at any minute. I was just waiting for something to set him off. But it didn’t. The daily behavior sheets began to reflect this increasingly long period of calm. I reflected on my classroom management- no, I wasn’t doing anything differently- I couldn’t pinpoint any change in my interactions with the child that would account for this change in his behavior. Intrigued, I talked with his mother and discovered that the child had received several acupuncture treatments with Dr Mohammadi who is a pediatrician and has a Masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
Had I not witnessed the change in this child’s behavior first-hand, I probably would have been skeptical. As he was able to focus his attention for longer periods of time, he began to engage and participate more fully in the learning. Gradually he began to manifest his true academic capabilities and potential. Most importantly, he was able to experience how it feels to be successful.

Few years ago I was in a ceremony. My 2 year old son was with me. He had some caramel chocolate and after a couple hours he developed hives in his arms, legs and back along with itching. Fortunately Dr.Mohammadi was there and she had a set of acupuncture needles in her car. She inserted a few of them in my son’s arms and hands. The hives disappeared in a matter of minutes! I was astonished how quickly the hives disappeared. Dr.Mohammadi explained that vital energy in children responds to acupuncture faster than adults. Thanks to Dr.Mohammadi who saved our day!

I am a nurse at Mahak Hospital. Dr Mohammadi came to our hospital for acupuncture treatment for children who were going under chemotherapy and had nausea and vomiting. She did treatments for children ranging from 2 years to 14 years old. Neither I nor my colleagues had any strong feelings for the effectiveness of acupuncture. The day after the treatment, I checked the reports of the nurses; none of the children had vomiting after their chemotherapy without any antiemetic medicines. I can say now that I am a believer in acupuncture and especially in Dr Mohammadi. She is very sympathetic and kindhearted and she was so caring and experienced with children. It is no wonder she is a pediatrician herself.
