"I wanted to thank you for helping me get my life back. For three years, I had struggled with anxiety after the birth of my first daughter. However, this anxiety multiplied after the birth of my second daughter and I was experienced deeply panic attacks. I tried all the traditional options from my family doctor but then took my life into my own hands and found you---my lifesaver. You listened and really understood what I wanted out of your services. I've only been seeing you for a few months, but in this short time, everyone in my family has noticed a positive difference. I was able to stop taking anti-depressants my doctor had me on and was able to take your herbal medicines to get better results. I am happy to say I am free of panic attack now. In a few months, it has made me a happier, healthier person. Not to mention all the help you have given me. In other ailments-knee pain, colds, allergies-you cured then all in such short time. Thank you!"

"Hi Dr. Tao,

I came to you for help as I suffer from Anemia and this in conjunction with a heavy menstruation had left me completely exhausted and unable to get out of bed once a month.

I appreciated the time you spent to completely understand all the symptoms I was experiencing and the detailed questions you asked before you suggested a treatment.

In four months, you were able to raise my core body temperature, return my pulse to a normal level, increase my energy, and reduce my heavy menstruation; until you could treat my iron deficiency and help me to maintain a normal menstrual cycle.

Four months of acupuncture and herbs, succeeded in doing what four years of taking iron pills from my regular family doctor did not.

Additionally, a year and half ago I injured my toe - I chipped the bone and bruised the toenail - I had swelling at the ball of the foot and discoloration of the toenail. I had two x-rays and three visits to my foot doctor who told me to expect a lengthy healing process.

I asked you at one visit to treat my foot and you agreed - one treatment only and two months later - my foot no longer swells and my toenail has healed.

I would and do highly recommend you to anyone who suffers from any disorder, as I have learned that you do not dismiss any symptom and treat the whole person.

I wish you continued health and success personally and professionally.
Thank you Dr. Tao."

"I have had migraine headaches since I was a child. As an adult, I began to also experience sinus problems, nasal allergies, dizziness, ear congestion, tinnitus and TMJ. By the time I first went to Dr. Tao, my dizziness was so bad I could barely turn my head without taking a spin. I had also been having chronic headaches every day.

I was grateful that Dr. Tao is very gentle with his patients, since I have a fear of needles. He also made special accommodations for me because my dizziness made me feel like I was falling off the patient table.

I began to see improvement after just a few weeks of acupuncture and herb treatments. My dizziness has been greatly reduced, and I no longer have daily headaches. My tinnitus has improved so much that I rarely notice it anymore. There has also been much improvement with my sinus problems, nasal allergies, ear congestion and TMJ. Each successive treatment seems to bring more relief.

Unlike many other doctors, Dr. Tao didn't focus on just one of my conditions. He realized some of them are related and treated the whole person."

"On March 15,2000, I was hit at a red light and pushed me on the passenger side to the red light which fall on my car. I was found my car floor and admitted overnight by the Trauma service at Lehigh valley Hospital. I was then referred by my family Doctor to see physical therapy three times a week for seven weeks which was not helpful. Then I referred by my family Doctor again to see a pain specialist who ordered an MRI, which revealed a fracture at the 9th thoracic veterbra. I was given two epidural injections and told that I would have to live with this pain. In addition this, I also have pain in my right side of my back and thorax in the muscle with a reconstructed foot required for my fractured foot. In the past, I have to wear a back, neck, and foot brace and unable to be upright for more than two hours or I have to lie down to reduce the pain. After I treated by Dr. Tao with acupuncture, magnetic cupping and Chinese herbs, my pain level from 8 of 10 down to wear off for 4-5 days which let me could deal with pain without pain medication and zoloft , Xanax as well. I do appreciate Dr. Tao's help."
