Acupuncture

We have integrated acupuncture with our neurology practice for the best patient outcomes.

Acupuncture is a therapeutic procedure that has survived the long natural process of selection and elimination and gained wide acceptance in many parts of the world. We believe acupuncture has the potential to treat a variety of neurological and other medical disorders and also help maintain overall well-being.

Why Come to Us?

Years of Experience

Dr. Zhao treated her first acupuncture patient in 2008. Since then and particularly after establishment of our acupuncture clinic, we have provided thousands of treatments to patients with various health problems.

Neurology Enabled Acupuncture

The version of acupuncture implemented at our clinic is enabled and empowered by Dr. Zhao’s in-depth knowledge and experience in conventional medicine, specifically, neurology as well as related neuroanatomy, neuropathophysiology, and clinical neurophysiology.

Proprietary Acupuncture Protocols

Dr. Zhao’s approach is captured in a library of proprietary acupuncture protocols that cover a variety of neurological and other medical conditions. This serves as the basis of our acupuncture practice and minimizes service variation from one provider to the other.

Positive Clinical Results

Many of our patients have benefited from acupuncture treatment, and a significant number of them reported considerable improvements in medical conditions or noticeable recovery of lost functionalities. Please refer to the testimonials.

Finance Options

Acupuncture is only offered as a self–pay service. Patients should work with their insurance carriers for possible reimbursement. However, initial consultation for acupuncture at the office is normally covered by insurance as a regular doctor’s visit.

The acupuncture is provided either by one of the licensed acupuncturists or Dr. Zhao herself. They all follow the same proprietary acupuncture protocols of our clinic. This helps ensure consistency in treatment quality. The rate will vary by the type of provider.
