Claire's mission is to help people. I have been a patient for many years. On every visit, Claire would take her time to get an update on the current condition and make changes on her treatment accordingly. She is very bright, she updates her knowledge constantly by attending seminars and self studies. She is also very caring, kind and sincere.

I became a patient of Dr. Kao in 2015, seeking to resolve issues around psoriasis and digestive problems. While there was a certain amount of fear regarding having needles inserted into my body, that disappeared after a couple of sessions. The energy released by the needles and their precise placement has greatly relieved the psoriasis and continues to assist the resolution of the digestive problems. The herbs that she prescribes have also been very helpful. The greatest benefit for me has been in the feeling of being energetically balanced after the treatments. I am very grateful for her care and kindness, helping me on my healing journey.

When I first came in to see Dr. Kao, my health and skin was in really bad condition. I had just withdrawn from using topical steroids after figuring out how bad it was for my skin. I was in constant discomfort with an uncontrollable itch that would not stop. Thankfully after almost 6 months of being treated by her, my skin has been relieved of its itchiness and has returned to homeostasis. Dr. Kao treated the root cause of my itchiness rather than treating the symptom of itchiness itself. I have been to dozens of doctors throughout my life but Dr. Kao has been the only one that has actually helped me heal. Further, she is one of the few that has shown nothing but genuineness and the willingness to help towards me. She is open minded and works with you and your lifestyle, rather than just dictating on what to do. I am extremely thankful that I have met Dr. Kao! I highly recommend her!

My sister recommended me to see Dr. Kao after she helped healing my nephew Aaron Liao with his skin condition. I decided to see her because of my post hysterectomy surgery. Her clinic has a pleasant, calm and relaxing atmosphere. I always look forward to seeing her. Dr. Kao is exceptional, professional, courteous and compassionate. She takes the time to really listen to and cares about her patients' wellness. I have made so much progress and feel so much better after the treatment. I then signed up for the acupuncture weight loss program which helps me to shed the extra pounds that were with me for the longest time. It was very successful with the weekly hour-long acupuncture session. I lost total of 20 pounds!! This isn't magic, you still need to eat right (provided by Dr.Kao) and exercise regularly. It helps give you an extra boost along the way. I am happy with where I am now. I would highly recommend her, she is a true healer!!

Dr. Kao is a deeply caring and very knowledgeable TCM doctor, with many additional specialties. She is very supportive in helping me with my health concerns, along side the allopathic choices. In my many months of being in care with her, I've found improvement in my health, spirit and energy. More recently we moved from accupuncture to sound bowl healing which has added whole other dimension of deep vibration, relaxation and peace to my body which I have never experienced before. This sound bowl healing is penetrating yet gentle and non-invasive. I'm amazed at it's effects. Thank you Dr. Kao!
