“Thinking about 2023 and the things and people I met and was grateful for, I could not not talk about Harvey. Last year at the beginning of January, the horrible Covid struck me badly leaving me tired and shocked. At the end of March, I was still struggling with the outcomes and one, it was a strong inflammation to the left side of my head which made me scared and depressed waking me up at night in pain and worried. I went to my GP several times, including blood tests, new glasses, hearing tests, and eye tests and finally, the optometrist suggested a biopsy of my temporal vein giving me lots of painkillers that were very ineffective. It was just for a chance that during a meeting a person saw me in pain taking pain relief. This person mentioned Harvey to me and what he was capable of. I took his number quite sceptic as I never had an acupuncture treatment before. On Saturday, the pain was excruciating. The hospital at this point would have been the only solution but I wanted to try the last option and give myself the last chance before going there. I texted Harvey and he replied to me in a few hours. He was very busy and he asked me to come on Sunday just for this emergency because he did not work on that day. I was feeling very bad I replied to him I would have tried to resist. After a couple of hours, he texted me back saying that he would have found the time to see me later in the afternoon. My first thought was that he had compassion reading my messages. The unbelievable thing was that he replied to me something like "ok come over, I see what is wrong with you and I will fix it". I was still very sceptical. In the middle of the afternoon, my head was like a pin holder but I was feeling so bad that I didn't have any fear. I wanted to trust him and I needed help. At the end of the session, he asked me how I was feeling and unfortunately, nothing had changed. He reassured me saying: don't worry from tomorrow you will get better day by day and asked me to follow some instructions on food. He was super sure that I would have been better and that the problem was a nerve. Probably the trigeminal, I think after I had done research and heard the word "nerve" mentioned by him for the first time during that long period. On Sunday, I slept all day long. I had some many sleepless nights since January that I was exhausted because I could not have a night without pain. I cannot thank enough Harvey for bringing me back to life! From Tuesday (I remember this date very well) everything started to go back to normal and in a few days I was the happiest woman. He also texted me several times to follow the improvements and he didn't want to see me for another session because he said the one he did, was enough to fix my problem. Usually, I don't do reviews but reflecting on the past year how can I forget such an amazing blessing? I recommend Harvey 100 per cent as a very capable intuitive and reliable acupuncturist in Christchurch! Thank you again!!!”

“I wish I knew about Harvey Wang a long time ago! A single one hour treatment cleared up multiple problems that I have been suffering from for years. What I thought were post concussion symptoms turned out to be consequences of other things out of balance in my body, one treatment and some Chinese medicine and I feel a million times better. Harvey is a kind, calm and very talented, experienced healer who will help you find your healthy self. Thank you Harvey”

“I had acupuncture and massage treatment from Harvey after a year of pain and broken sleep caused by a shoulder issue. The treatment has made the pain management much easier. Nga Mihi.”
Michael Brathwaite (Accountant and Pop Singer)
“As a child, I had bad eczema on my knees, and sometimes on my inner elbows and feet, along with a corresponding itching problem. Doctors prescribed a variety of ointments, but none of them made any impression on it…… In 1966, the family doctor prescribed Betnovate ointment”….. and later” Betnovate cream…..until 1990, I kept a supply of both.”
After many years of seeking different treatments and “with no hope of relief in sight, I noticed an advertisement for HNB Clinic (Former name of Act Acupunture). So I made an appointment…… From the first treatment by Dr. Harvey Wang, I noticed an improvement, which has continued…… I have been able to reduce the use of the steroid cream… I’m no long routinely putting the steroid cream on night and morning. If there’s no sign of the itch, I don’t apply it. Also, I seem to be generally more healthy (and cheerful), and people have been commenting on how well I look”.

“Several months ago I injured my shoulder and neck lifting furniture at home. After a couple of days had passed the pain became too much and I went to my local GP for treatment. My GP suggested that I have massage treatment on the shoulder and neck, as it appeared to be muscular problem, the GP also applied to ACC to cover the cost of the treatments.
A family member recommended that I try the Act Acupuncture operated by Mr Harvey Wang. I have found Harvey to be professional in his approach to the treatment of my injury. Within a short period of time Harvey Wang had reduced the pain in my shoulder and neck considerably with a number of methods of treatment which had included the following, Acupuncture, Chinese treatment massage and Chinese herbal medicine. The treatment for my shoulder injury is almost complete and pain in the shoulder and neck has gone.
I would recommend Act Acupuncture, Harvey Wang, his skills as a “Chinese Medicine Doctor” to anybody who is seeking a more holistic method of treating health issues.”

“In July, I hurt my neck and my GP suggest me to do some treatments. One of my friends introduced Harvey to me, and she said Harvey is a good acupuncturist. So I went to see Harvey. He is really experienced and knowledgeable, and he knows what is wrong with my neck and how to fix it. After first few treatments, my neck is starting getting better, and better, he also told me of tips about how to look after my neck. I believe that Harvey is a good and experienced acupuncturist. He honest, warm heart and like helping people. I am quite happy to know him.”
Alan Jolly (cleaner)
“Over a 3 years period I have suffered injury to both shoulders working as a cleaner made the problem worse, getting to sleep was also difficult. I have tried anti inflammations and physiotherapy with no luck. A friend told me to try Harvey Wang a Chinese doctor specializing in acupuncture, herbal medicine.
After 12 treatments the pain has gone and both shoulders feel like new. The secret is to give this treatment a fair go with a open mind. Special thanks to Harvey Wang”
