About Vadim Chalov               

“I want to educate each person that Chinese Medicine is a way of thinking, a way of living and a way of healthy lifestyle.”

I truly believe that Chinese Medicine is so much more than just a healing solution for many health issues. Rather than chasing signs and symptoms, my goal is to uncover the root cause of an ailment, employing a multi-tiered and integrative approach that treats the body, mind, and spirit. Known for my diagnostic skills, nonjudgmental demeanor and effective treatments, I enjoy creating partnerships with my patients to develop the right treatment plans for their specific goals. Having my prior experience of 15 years practicing Western Medicine as a M.D with a focus on internal medicine allows me to combine studies of modern science and great knowledge of Traditional Chinese medicine to diagnose and treat wide spectrum pathologies.

Ultimately, once this balanced health has been achieved, the biggest satisfaction working as an acupuncturist is to see that I can be instrumental in improving the Quality of Life of my patients.

Testimonials:

A miracle doctor! I have a history of a back pain and a friend recommended Dr. Chalov for acupuncture. Just one appointment eased my pain. The doctor recommended to buy couple items to strengthen my muscles what I did. Several days later the pain has gone completely.

Vadim was the only one who helped me​ with my lower back problem. I had a ​bulging​ disc​ and nothing would help me to relieve the pain (physical​ therapy​, shots into the disc, medications or chiropractor​) everything had a ​temporary effect. I have​ been advised​ surgery​ but Vadim talked me out of it and I am happy he did.
I did 4 sessions with him after which​ I felt significant improvement​s and my body just started to recover on its own, nothing but a miracle​ :) Vadim knows what he is doing with his needles :)
— Dmitri Z., Mountain View
Dr. Vadum is great. I had been going to physical therapy on and off for a few years with a hamstring issue. I decided to try something different and it was the best decision I made.
I did not realize how much chronic pain I was dealing with and know that is all gone.
I am thankful to have found him!

Vadim is amazing!
One day I had a terrible headache and I decided to try this kind of treatment. Vadim checked my blood pressure and treated me for that, not some random headache. After 30-40 min I felt like a new person and went on with my day like I wasn’t struggling whole morning.
Next time I called him for a backache and without any twisting and bending but with those magic needles, it was cured. I was super impressed.
I learned from Vadim that he can work on many other problems. I think I found my doctor!‍

Amazingly effective doctor!
I came to him several times: first with a bad stomach that Kaiser Emergency room failed to cure - Vadim put me back to life after just two visits. Last week I had terrible flu with a very high temperature - Vadim brought me back to my normal condition in just one day.
Vadim combines best of Western and Eastern medicine approach and is amazingly effective. My best recommendations to Vadim.
— Vasily N., Santa Clara
Doctor Vadim was highly recommended to me by a very good friend, and I don’t regret it! He is amazing. He addresses deep rooted problems as well as the immediate virus or infection. I came to him insomniac, highly stressed, over tired, with hormonal imbalance, and with violent seasonal allergies. Not knowing where to start, I needed help and someone who would guide me step by step restore normality in my busy life.
A few weeks later, thanks to Dr Chalov’s visits and advice, I knew why I was angry, tired, and depressed and took steps to improve balance in my life. My stress level dramatically decreased, i sleep through the night, my allergy symptoms alleviated, my weekly colds disappeared. Dr Chalov has knowledge of both western and eastern medicine, and combines both to really help his patients. I highly recommend him!

I had two very hard pregnancies. I seriously suffered from morning sickness, headaches, stomach problems, mood swings, low blood pressure, low hemoglobin... My regular doctor couldn’t help me. She only wanted to hospitalize me. With my third pregnancy I came to doctor Chalov after I started to experience the exact same symptoms. And in a matter of few appointments he brought me back to life! I started to eat, my stomach stopped hurting. When I finally came to my regular doctor and took all the blood tests they came out all perfect! No traces of what was happening to me the first two pregnancies.I can’t say enough good things about this doctor and about this method of treatment. It’s super effective. It helps where the regular medicine completely fails. Now I keep regularly coming to Dr. Chalov. I know it’ll prevent me from high blood sugar, overeating, and all the other bad things that happen during the late pregnancy. Also, I am looking forward to not having any mood swings and depressions after the baby is born.
All in all I am highly recommending Eastern medicine and this doctor to everybody who has serious chronic diseases. Give it a very good try. I’ll be amassed at how well it works.
