Twice in my life Chinese medicine has literally saved my life. This situation was not one of those, however I was in extreme discomfort, Dr Zhao diagnosed me very quickly.

And double bonus, I went on his weight loss programme and was eating a lot everyday, in 7 days I lost 10 pounds. The problem I went to see him about disappeared and I feel 10 years younger. The power of Chinese medicine is unbelievable and Dr Zhao is great.

He is a humble man with a life time of experience in medical care. I can’t say enough about him, take my word for it. If you have any issues, have faith and go see him.

I would like to give my compliments to Dr Zhao. I have been seeing Dr Zhao over the years for acupuncture for stress symptoms which has worked very well and really helped. However where his expertise was most profoundly demonstrated was when myself and my wife wanted to have a baby and boost our fertility to do so.

We had been trying for a few years, and consulted options including our own family medical doctor and a referral to a Calgary fertility clinic. The fertility clinic did some tests, but did not have any practical means to increase fertility to naturally become pregnant. I discussed with Dr Zhao in November 2019 and he recommended an acupuncture schedule for my wife and provided her with various Chinese herbs to increase fertility. We took a break in December for a few weeks around Christmas but otherwise continued with the acupuncture and herbs through to March, and Voila! My wife became pregnant in mid-April (with twins!).

Dr Zhao and his Chinese Traditional Medical clinic have the expertise based on many years’ experience and education in traditional Chinese medicine which compliments your own body as opposed to strong drugs and invasive surgery recommended by western medical professionals. I am a huge advocate and supporter of Dr Zhao. He is brilliant!

I was diagnosed with an irregular heart beat in 2015. Upon the diagnoses I was sent to a heart specialist who indicated that my irregular heart beat wasn’t serious but that I should be on a low dose of medication. I was placed on a dose of Metoprolol. After being on it for 6 months, the dosage was reduced as the doctor said a low dose is recommended for irregular heart beat. The medication reduced my blood pressure & pulse, and I was experiencing extreme tiredness, and at that point I was taken off the medication. I never had high blood pressure, my blood pressure my entire life has been in the low blood range.

I started to research alternative or holistic approaches to assist my irregular heart beat. I was calling an acupuncturist in Calgary to ask questions about arthritis, and thought I have had acupuncture for Carpal Tunnel and never had to have surgery, maybe acupuncture is an answer to assisting my heart.

I spoke with Dr Zhao & he indicated that he could assist, and we started acupuncture treatments in July 2017, along with Chinese herbs to keep my body in balance, & reduce the inflammation in my body & in the heart. I had an Echocardiogram in 2019 that showed my heart was close to normal but some area that wasn’t clear. The Echocardiogram of June 2020 is completely normal now, and the medical doctor indicated that he didn’t feel there was a need for an additional test in 2021.

I am feeling so much better, as I do not have the ongoing concerns about my heart , and having no concerns has enhanced my mental, emotional, & spiritual wellbeing. I also know that the acupuncture is helping my immune system as I was one to have ongoing sore throats & have taken way too many antibiotics over the years, thanks to acupuncture I have not had a sore throat in eighteen months. The longer I continue with Dr Zhao & his acupuncture treatments & Chinese herbs my entire body is getting stronger & healthier.
