He has been admitted more then ones in Lakeland and St Joseph children hospital in Tampa. Last time was 3 weeks ago. After the last time I decided to do something different because At. Joseph hospital felt more like a torture chamber to my son and me than nothing else. My son cried begging me not to take him to that hospital again. I called the ancient art of healing to make an appointment a week a go. Dr. Beardsley knows exactly what he is doing. He told me what to do with my son and what is the reason for his constipation. My son had a bowel movement 3 days after. Since then his constipation seems to be getting better and better. 6 years looking for healing for my son and this is where I found it. I would be forever greatful. Thank you so much. Next is me

Not much we can do…read moreabout age, but taking the same old medication with the same unsatisfactory results can be helped. I am 64 years of age and have been living with TMJ, off and on, for 35 years. I have sought experts in the field, had mouth guards made from two different doctors, have been prescribed copious amounts of Ibruaprofen and pain meds. All without relief. After one, 25 minute treatment of Accupuncture, Hot Laser, and a small electric charge, I experienced, for the first time, less swelling, headache and jaw stiffness. I continued my visits with Dr. Shao for five treatments. He also worked on my arthitic feet to great sucess. I seriously think he could help many people unaware, as I was, of the true healing ability of accupuncture in the hands of a forty year expert as Dr. Qi Shao. I remain a big fan of both natural healing and herbal style medicine. It will be a different experience no doubt, but for those whose pain is greater than your fear, this is for you.

I have been to a number of acupuncturists over the years and can truthfully say Dr. Robin ranks up there with the best. Highly recommend!!!!!!

5-Star Review for Dr. Henry Shao -- Chinese Medical Clinic…read more After suffering for two years with severe carpal tunnel symptoms and nerve pain in my right arm, I finally found real help with Dr. Henry Shao at the Chinese Medical Clinic. I want people to know my story so they can get the same relief. The pain was so bad that I could not sleep on my right side, and I constantly felt sharp nerve pain running from my hand all the way up my arm. I saw two different hand specialists. One wanted to operate, and the other doctor -- from a very famous clinic -- gave me an injection that did not work and dangerously raised my blood sugar. After that, he suggested giving me another injection. Nothing helped me... until I came to Dr. Shao. With just one acupuncture treatment, my hand instantly felt much better. After my second visit, the improvement was even greater. I honestly could not believe how quickly I felt relief after suffering for so long. Dr. Henry Shao has over 30 years of experience, and it truly shows. He is knowledgeable, gentle, respectful, and genuinely cares about his patients. Thanks to him, I finally found the help I needed without surgery, without more injections, and without side effects. I am incredibly grateful and highly recommend Dr. Henry Shao and the Chinese Medical Clinic to anyone dealing with nerve pain, carpal tunnel symptoms, or chronic pain. He gave me back my comfort and my sleep after two years of struggling. Thank you, Dr. Shao, for restoring my hope and improving my life.

First, she discusses your reason for your visit and what your goals are; what you are looking to get out of this treatment, then the treatment starts. I chose a package of treatment (8 treatments, I believe). After the 8 treatments, I felt like myself again! I am sleeping like a baby every night and not waking up every few hours.

I have no reason to make this up, as I am now out of quite a bit of money because of the negligence and unprofessional front desk personnel.
