Dr. Haitao Cao , Takes care to help me manage my Rheumatoid arthritis and aches and pains. She is very friendly, very approachable and listens to my needs for each visit, making treatment adjustments as needed.
More than 1 year agoSummer E.Verified patient
The visit with doctor cao was more than I could’ve asked for. Just from the moment you walk in , the physical environment is clean and well decorated. The energy of the whole place is calm , pure and very inviting. As for the visit, it was my first time reviewing acupuncture. Dr.Cao did an amazing job of making me feel comfortable , but also teaching me the benefits and things I should feel. I think that’s very important. It seemed like she was truly invested in my well being and that is the most important thing I look for in a doctor.
I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I would recommend Dr.Cao to anyone of my closest friends / relatives. Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks for an awesome experience.

I have been going to Dr. Chao for almost 2 years. She has done an amazing job with contolling my allergies. She spends time to make sure she understands your issue and the best course of action. She is extremely polite and caring to her patients and goes above and beyond for them.
October 10, 2016Jennifer D.Verified patient
My research into acupuncture and acupuncture clinics in Austin brought me to Dr. Cao. Being an ex cancer patient, Dr. Cao's work with pain management for cancer patients convinced me to try her out.
Who knew that acupuncture could control my allergies so well WITHOUT medication. I am so happy to not put those chemicals in my body anymore!
This past visit I found that her allergy treatments are cumulative. I was able to go from April until October before I had a relapse. Within 24 hours of my treatment my sinus pressure was completely gone.
Dr. Cao has helped me through stress management, TMJ pain and helped me to sleep better! She is caring and genuinely concerned about my health. I have sent several folks to see her with excellent results.
Thanks to Dr. Cao I have made acupuncture a regular part of my health regimen.
October 9, 2016Linda S.Verified patient
Her manner was ok, but I was not able to get up, I cannot move in bed and difficult to get to sleep for the pains!I've been laying in bed because of severe pains from my back, my shoulders and my neck since my last visit on Monday,Now it's already Saturday and I am wondering how long I still have stay in bed because of pains! I feel so sad!

I believe that my conditions were more than adequately addressed & symptoms alleviated with just one visit with Dr. Cao. This was my first visit to this clinic & felt that I will be treated accurately & passionately and will most definitely return for long term care.
