Testimonials

Ding Hong

This is the first time I have written a testimonial. For nearly thirty years I searched for pain relief until I finally found Dr. Wang and Dr. Zhao. After only ten treatments, the pain in my neck and right shoulder, and in fact, the pain all over my body, has been cured!

When the pain was severe, I could not even turn my head while driving; if I did, I would be gritting my teeth. I have been in Canada for nearly twenty years, and my husband often said that my most frequent activity was acupuncture and massage therapy. I took medicine, was needled all over until my body resembled a hedgehog, and was massaged by more than a dozen Chinese and Western practitioners. I even sought out a so-called Famous Doctor and took his remedies, with the result being a blistered neck wrapped in gauze for months. I so obviously in pain that I was even offered permission to park in a handicapped spot by a kind security guard. I knew how serious things were, leaving me unable to see any hope for improvement. When I thought my rest of life was going to be like this, I felt devastated. Fortunately, I encountered Dr. Wang’s massage and Dr. Zhao’s acupuncture, and they not only treated my body, but also pacified my spirit with their deep understanding of the connection between emotions and health. In short, I am no longer in pain, and I have lost more than five pounds. Perhaps all the of knots in my body disappeared draining the edema after my meridians became cleared? How great it is to have my health back!

It is so wonderful that in these days we can still find great doctors like Dr. Wang and Dr. Zhao, who are benevolent, compassionate and dedicated!  It is obvious they are not doing what they are doing for money. Dr. Wang does not even carry a mobile phone. I barely spent much money for their treatments. I am writing this completely out of gratitude and even reverence for the two doctors who helped me so much!

Every time I see Dr. Zhao and Dr. Wang, gratitude grows in my heart. I used to suffer from back pain and their treatment brought me out of helplessness and despair. They devote meticulous care to each patient, and whether during consultation, acupuncture, or massage, all situations reflect their superb professional qualities and skills. Behind each seemingly ordinary or difficult treatment, Dr. Zhao and Dr. Wang's compassion for their patients is embodied. They devoted years of love and study to traditional Chinese medicine, and their deep belief shows in their strong desire to relieve the suffering of their patients. In particular, Dr. Zhao's strong affinity made me feel her empathy, allowing me detach from my fear and anxiety, and her unique and gentle words of wisdom opened my heart for spiritual healing. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment embodies a holistic view of the cosmos and earth. At Whispering Willow Wellness Clinic, Dr. Zhao and Dr. Wang are TCM practitioners deeply immersed in healing the body, mind and spirit.

I have been having weekly treatment with Dr. Wang for the past 3 years. Dr. Wang is talented in Massage therapy, Acupuncture as well as Traditional Chinese medicine. He always takes patient’s needs to heart and provides best-in-class service. His unique style and holistic treatment approach truly differentiates his service from a regular RMT or TCM doctor. He is a treasure and rare find in Coquitlam city.

Francis Ma

My name is Francis Ma. My wife suffers from glaucoma and I was growing more anxious about it when I came across Dr. Zhao's article online. Here I found out that she is a Chinese medical doctor specializing in eye diseases. I was delighted and did everything possible to find her. We have seen many Chinese medical practitioners in Vancouver, but we find Dr. Zhao both unique and outstanding. Many TCM physicians prescribe medicines for patients to cook at home, but Dr. Zhao does it differently. After a thorough inquiry and diagnosis, she often spends time massaging acupoints for patients. She also uses spiritual healing methods to heal the patient's heart and open the patient's soul, making the patient understand the cause and effect of their disease which speeds up recovery. I am very fortunate to have met Dr. Zhao. I am grateful that she treats my wife with care and compassion, and we have no doubt that she and her clinical partner Dr. Wang are going to help many more patients in their new clinic. Thank you Dr. Zhao and Dr. Wang!

Dr. Zhao is professional, respectful, thorough and highly knowledgeable. She helped me to relieve stress, anxiety and physical symptoms such as muscle tension and soreness. She explains procedures clearly and thoroughly and tries multiple strategies to achieve the health results you are looking for.

I would recommend Whispering Willow Wellness Clinic. Dr. Anna Zhao is the best. She listens and does everything possible to help. She has helped me managed my pain and get better. Thank you for all you have done for me and my son.

I have severe glaucoma as well as macula degeneration in both eyes so I came to see Dr. Zhao as an eye patient. She told me an imbalance in the body can show up as an eye problem. The therapy seemed a little daunting at first as she had to insert acupuncture needles into my eye socket. I was desperate so I gave it a try. She used Deep Needle Eye Therapy on me only 4 times and I could definitely feel the difference. My eyes slowly became much more comfortable and one day I noticed I was able to see the license plates of the cars passing by, something I had not been able to do for years. I told Dr. Zhao her eye therapy was magical, and she humbly said that all she did was to promote circulation of Qi and blood in and around my eyes. Now my eye pressure is quite normal and my eye condition is much better. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Zhao, and I sincerely recommend her to anyone who has eye issues.

I am a cancer patient and have the privilege of being cared by Dr. Zhao and Dr. Wang. Within two months, almost all my symptoms vanished. Dr. Zhao's qigong and herbal medicine, as well as Dr. Wang's massage, are simply amazing. I am grateful for meeting them in my life and having them help me on my journey to health. Without them, I am afraid I would not have been here

I have been a patient of Daniel Wang for almost ten years. His knowledge of the body and powerful hands have worked wonders on my aching muscles. As well, he has offered advice to further improve my condition. Without his massages, I wouldn’t be able to walk without constant pain.

I have been a patient of Dr. Anna Zhao for quite a long time. Even when she was working in Burnaby, I went to seek eye treatment from her. I was diagnosed by my ophthalmologist with severe Glaucoma, and was told my eyesight was worsening rapidly and I would go blind soon. However, with Dr. A Zhao’s Deep Needle Eye Therapy, my eyesight is becoming better and better, and last time when I went to see my Ophthalmologist, he told me I couldn’t have glaucoma because it never gets better – but mine did!
I am very impressed with Dr. Anna Zhao’s skills. I find her treatment style is very different from other doctors and acupuncturists. She listens attentively, she does not only focus on the specific areas I ask about - she gives a holistic diagnosis, such as which organ’s energy is excessive, which ones are deficient, providing great advice/exercises on how to improve your health/life style in general. She also takes the time to do qigong with me, which is a form of medical meditation, which helped me immensely in overcoming my anxiety and stress, building up my confidence to overcome the disease.
I have recommended some friends to come to see her and they all told me she is fantastic. She is not only great at physical injuries, she is an excellent internal medicine doctor. Many of my friends who experienced anxiety, migraines, thyroid/endocrine problems, edema, weight issues, addictions, all got great help from her.  I highly recommend Dr. Anna Zhao.

I once took my daughter to see Dr. Zhao and her clinical partner Dr. Wang. After the needles were inserted by Dr. Zhao, my daughter's feet instantaneously became warm. Dr. Wang also gave her a deep tissue massage. Later, my daughter said: The needles seemed to have penetrated into the depth of the soul, and the massage was also excellent. With just one treatment, most of her symptoms were gone. From then on, whenever my friends are seeking a good doctor in Chinese medicine, we always recommend Dr. Zhao and Dr. Wang.(我曾带女儿去看赵医生和她的拍档王医生。赵医生扎完针,女儿的脚就已经热了。王医生也给她做了深度推拿。后来女儿感叹地说:那几针似乎扎到了灵魂深处,推拿也非常到位,仅仅一次治疗,所有的症状几乎都不翼而飞了。有了这次寻医问药的经历,以后每每遇见有病痛的朋友,我们总是极力推荐赵医生和王医生。)

I have had the chance to know Dr Zhao for several years and she is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met. Her kindness and care paired with her brilliance as a doctor have been a huge part of my healing journey. I feel safe with her and more importantly, I have healed with her. I have referred several friends and their young children with many different areas of concern and each of them have come back pleased with their results and especially her ability to help children with their fears around acupuncture. I highly recommend Dr Zhao if you are concerned for your health in any way, she will make you feel seen, heard, safe and very special. She is truly a gift to the medical world. 

I have had massage in many parts of the world. I believe it is a crucial part of health and circulation. I was referred to Daniel because of a knee injury and am very grateful for his care. When I visited Daniel he asked me many good questions and took a thorough inventory of my needs and past experiences before bringing me to his table. Daniel has magic hands and really knows what he is doing. I feel very well cared for and can confidently say he gives the best massage I have ever had. He is very spiritual and has a healing energy that seems to run through his hands. I highly recommend him for circulation issues, body pain, alignment and anything else you may need. My husband, Sean had a wonderful experience with Daniel as well in preparation for his first marathon and highly recommends Daniel for athletes as he feels that he knows the bones, muscles and tendons extremely well and felt safe in his hands too.

My problem has been glaucoma, which I have had since I was a teenager. With Dr. Zhao’s eye therapy, my eye pressure decreased significantly after only 3 times acupuncture sessions. The first time my right eye bruised a little, but it felt much better afterwards. Dr. Zhao also helped my nephew successfully reduce his allergies and inflammatory eye disease symptoms. We are grateful to Dr. Zhao.

David W

I had dry itchy eyes for quite a long time. Dr. Zhao fixed them with just a few sessions of Deep Needle Eye Therapy. I had Covid more than once, and each time her herbs, qigong and needles boosted my immune system leading to a cure. Without Dr. Zhao, I believe my life would be more deplorable. Thank you, Dr. Zhao, for all the wonders you did for me!

Dr. S. L

In my opinion, Dr. Zhao has a special ability to heal. Her compassion, generosity, empathy, as well as her excellent medical skills, are truly a gift to human world. 

Nicole Chesman- Port Moody resident and loyal patient

To me, Dr Zhao is a healer plus so much more. Not only is she skilled and talented in her craft but also is attentive, kind and extremely thorough. She ensures she prioritizes your concerns and offers her perspectives to help accelerate and support healing.  She’s extremely intuitive and incorporates meditation as part of her treatment. I have already referred so many friends and family to Anna and will continue to do so!

Let me start with saying that I highly recommend Anna Zhao and Daniel Wang for their Professional Services. 

I have had received treatments from both Anna & Daniel while at Momentum Therapeutics in Coquitlam. I found both very professional and at the same time very human - warm and welcoming which in itself gives a sense of good feeling, making you very relaxed & comfortable. They both were very caring and polite in listening and assessing my issues of aches and pains I had. They addressed them with full dedication.  

My initial visit was with Daniel for a massage therapy for issues with my back, neck, shoulders, knees & feet which then I continued the treatments with Anna with her expertise in Acupuncture together with TCM.  

Anna went beyond my expectations, spending time, working on my body to address various concerns. Anna has unusually, a holistic approach which I found very comforting as it aligned with my thoughts and beliefs. She also recommended few techniques to practice at home which I found very useful. 

Once again, my wholehearted recommendations for services from Anna & Daniel and wish them to continue their excellence.

I began seeing Anna for chronic back and neck pain about year ago. I had previously used acupuncture for relief from my back and neck pain and was fortunate enough to find Anna at same clinic I went for my massage. Anna treats the whole person, not just a list of physical symptoms and that makes all the difference. Anna asks questions before each session so that she can maximize the benefits of the treatment with the fewest needles possible. My treatments, which were monthly at the beginning are now once every two month and I have experienced a significant decrease in the frequency, duration and intensity of my chronic pain. I have also found that my ability to handle stress has improved. I have recommended consultation with Anna to several of my family and friends for a variety of ailments and would encourage anyone considering acupuncture to schedule an appointment with her. I love her generosity and compassion to heal people. I am blessed to find her as my Acupuncturist.

In early 2022, I went for a ski trip; I got a bad chill, and my neck and back became so  stiff that I couldn't move at all. The next day, I went to the clinic where Daniel worked. Within an hour, I was cured! I have to say Daniel is not an ordinary doctor, and it is not necessary that everyone could bear his “iron grip”, but the great part is that you save many more doctor trips after seeing him.

2022年初的一次滑雪中受到风寒,颈、背部僵硬,动弹不得。第二天,前往高贵林晓东医师所在的诊所,一个小时下来,王医师果真手到病除,只是他的手法可能一般人消受不了,非常“暴力”!如果要求手法温柔点,估计您得多见几次医师了。
