Thx Robert n Tau, I’ll pass on ur place to anyone who want to try eastern healer :)

I was suffering from serious nasal allergy for several years. My body was weak and easy to catch cold (as frequent as once or twice a month). I used to have long lasting cough after cold, especially in late night. I tried several Chinese herb doctors in California but none of them improved my health condition. My friend recommended Dr. Tao Xie to me last year. He found my root health problem was in my stomach and used both acupuncture and Chinese herbs in the treatment. He also found that my cough was mostly caused by heart burn. After a few treatment, my heart burn was gone and have’t been back for months. My nasal allergy reduced a lot too. I caught cold only once in last entire winter. Dr. Tao Xie is very patient, nice and professional. His acupuncture skill was excellent. I used to afraid of those tiny needles but now I fully trust him to put the needles on any part of my body. I recommend him to my friend who had period problem and she recovered in two months.

I developed gestational diabetes in my first pregnancy and I had to control my glucose level by injecting very high amount of insulin. Two and half years later, I found myself pregnant again and my blood sugar was already very high at early stage of pregnancy which was very risky. My friend referred me to see Dr. Robert Xie and Dr. Xie let me start taking Chinese herbs and doing acupuncture. After a few treatments, I didn’t need insulin any more and my glucose level was back to normal. More amazingly, Dr. Xie told me I was going to have a girl at the six week of pregnancy by pulse diagnosis. Now I have a healthy and beautiful baby girl. Thank you for your amazing work, Dr. Xie! I can’t thank you enough. Also, my interaction with Dr. Xie during these treatments get me to know him is a kind, reliable and trustworthy person of high integrity, let alone his superb clinical skills. I highly recommend Dr. Xie to my friends and I hope he can help you too.

Strange. How come I cannot see my previous review on this any more ???

I had an appointment with Dr Robert and it was really disappointing. Everybody heard of those healers in China that diagnose completely by pulse and even tell you the symptoms. In my case it looked more like gypsy palm reading, where they tell you something vague hence credible. But he didn’t tell any of my major complains I didn’t mention. I don’t mind if the diagnosis is made by symptoms, but it didn’t come to it. The whole diagnosis part was a real mess. Luckily I already had a reliable diagnosis from a different TCM doctor. At least, the doctor was honest with me and I wasn’t charged for the diagnosis. At the same time, the receptionist owed me change of $ 10 and I asked to send me a check. I never received it!
The acupuncture session was very short and minimalistic, I didn’t even relax. There was no heat lamp. It was compensated by the pain of deeply inserted needles. The herbal formula was also quite minimalistic and the herbs expensive. The treatment was not helpful at the first approach, but I decided not to continue given the overall bad impression.
The place made me quite uncomfortable not being Chinese. It’s when your little requirements, like to write the formula in PinYin, get bounced. I had to spend time with a dictionary at home to translate the formula.
