“Dr. Fengyu Zhao is amazing! He explained everything about acupuncture and the body very well. He was extremely kindhearted and gentle. ”

“The doctor’s knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and its integration with modern physiological needs is profound. Just by looking at your tongue he can determine physical ailments. He doesn’t just treat symptoms; he takes the time to explain the "why" behind every needle placement, making the entire process educational. Most importantly, the treatments are highly effective.”

Dr. Zhao has been so helpful educating me on the treatments and making me more comfortable. I have been suffering with chronic eczema, insomnia, allergies, and low energy. I have had two sessions and seeing improvements. My skin has been healing and has been less painful. I finally had a great sleep last night as well. Excited to see the progress with Dr. Zhao’s treatments. Thank you for your kind expertise!

Dr. Zhao is great. I came here for menstrual disorder which has bothered me for years. After an unsuccessful procedure and two years of medication, I decided to seek for holistic approach - accupunture. After a few treatments, I noticed reduced pain and smoothier menstrual cycle. I would recommend Dr. Zhao and acupuncture to anyone seeking a natural approach to wellness.

Dr. Zhao is amazing. Not only did I experience instant relief after the first session, but every session feels thoughtful tailored to what my body needs that day. Dr. Zhao calmly listened to my frantic and anxious thoughts and offered guidance that extends beyond the treatment. I always leave the office feeling with full energy.

I tried both massage and acupuncture, and the whole experience was incredibly relaxing. The doctor was very professional, provided a diagnosis based on my general health condition, and gave me practical advice on my daily routine and diet. The pricing was also very reasonable — overall, an excellent experience that I highly recommend.

I've been seeing Dr. Frank for about a year now, once or twice a week. I feel amazing, not only with my existing lower back problem, but also in general! I've also seen tremendous positive changes in my gynecology!
It's a shame that this area of ??medicine is so undervalued in our society! I definitely recommend this amazing, highly qualified doctor!
Good health to all.

Dr. Zhao is absolutely amazing! Even after the first session I felt immense relief and improvements became more and more notable and pronounced with every consecutive treatment. Dr. Zhao has decades of experience, he is very attentive, listens to his patients and treats not only symptoms but root causes of health problems. I highly recommend his services!

So grateful I’ve finally found a doctor whose treatment is so effective in helping my health to improve. With an holistic approach, Dr Zhao deals with weakness in my spleen and stomach, which affects my lung performance. He gives individual care, understands and resolves my health issues.
Last but not least, his clinic has the best professional setting, and unlike most acupuncturists or doctors who treat several patients simultaneously and may totally forget who they are and why they are there, Dr Zhao respects his mission as a healer and honestly treats his patients for their wellness with his remarkable experience , knowledge, and training.
Salute to Dr Zhao!
