    I have been seeing Dr. Tao for Atrial Fibrillation. Allopathic Medicine does not offer treatment that looks at the roots of this condition and thus the treatment, care and healing potential has been limited from my perspective. The acupuncture and Chinese herbs provided with care by Dr. Tao have helped me immensely by dramatically reducing my symptoms and Afib episodes. The philosophy and metaphysics which underlie the workings of Traditional Chinese Medicine may not be as mysterious, unbelievable, as you may currently think and may be concurrent with your current worldview. Try Dr. Tao and integrate and synthesis what you have tried with his methods.

    Upper Respiratory Infection....the acupuncture and herbs made it mild and over in just 5 easy to deal with days. This sorts of things usually ends up in laryngitis for me and since I am a hypnotist THAT is a very bad thing. In the past, when no amount of self hypnosis, rest or herbs would help I'd get on antibiotics and steroids to make sure I could keep working, but the steroids made my blood pressure go up, so I had to find an alternative. THANK YOU DR TAO! My hubby and sister in law are into week three with the same thing. They have been treating it with antibiotics. I've already bounced back because at the FIRST sign of it I did something. I am so grateful the clinic is here in Plano AND I thought his bedside manner was wonderful.

    I started seeing Dr Tao about my digestive tract inflammation because I could not find acceptable solutions within Western medicine. Dr Tao started treating me with acupuncture and herbal medicines. Since I had never experienced acupuncture before, I was apprehensive about the needles. However most of the time I don't even feel them, and when I do it's like a mosquito bite (but there is no swelling or itching afterward). My symptoms were reduced noticeably within 2 weeks and have continued to improve. Dr Tao has a small office and runs it efficiently (the wait time has always been reasonable). His staff has been very friendly and helpful. I have been blessed to find Dr Tao and receive treatment from him.

    I have been going to Dr Tao for a little over one week to treat Bells Palsy which I contracted after an ear infection. My progress has been amazing. I went to the Ear Nose and Throat Dr yesterday and he was truly amazed with the improvement in only 10 days, and 4 treatments, time. He said he can't scientifically prove that acupuncture works, but to keep doing what I've been doing because the progress is almost unbelievable. Thank you Dr. Tao.

    Dr. Tao is awesome with addiction and has great business hours. He always answers his phone and is very flexible. He also takes insurance. Let me say, I tried to quit smoking for over 15 years with very little success. This time is very different. I can say with certainty that I will not smoke ever again. I even had a drink with smoking friends and DID NOT SMOKE, which was always my ""excuse"" for falling off the wagon. If you are addicted to anything, go see Dr. Tao, he can help. He's very smart, very experienced and he has even helped me with my back pain. Let him help you, it's definitely worth the try.
