For about three years now I have suffered from an acute pain in my stomach. The pain began with no discernible cause and would continue sporadically throughout the day. Then the pain would seem to resolve itself and I would go weeks without any discomfort only to have the sensation return without any warning. I have been to several doctors for this condition. The first doctor wanted to be sure that I did not have gal-stones or an ulcer and conducted a series of tests which included an ultrasound and a colonoscope. To his dismay, he found nothing wrong with me and sent me on my way. Since my problem had gone unresolved I moved on to a different doctor. She also believed I was suffering from an ulcer and prescribed medications to treat the issue. The medications did nothing to help. My third doctor put me through the same song and dance. I even had a second set of tests done and still no ulcer. By this point I had become very frustrated. Almost every day I was experiencing pain but no one knew what was wrong or how to treat it. After doing some research online I found Cr. Cao and her acupuncture practice. After explaining my situation to her, she told me she believed my problem was in fact caused by anxiety and stress. Dr. Cao prescribed Chinese herbs with acupuncture and gave me dietary advice. After my first few weeks with Dr. Cao I noticed a difference in the intensity of my stomach pain as well as the frequency of the pain. Each visit greatly helped to improve my situation and now that I have finished the full course of acupuncture and herbs I am happy to say that my stomach pain has vanished completely.
Dr Cao was a pleasure to visit. She listens carefully and takes her patients problems seriously while her sunny disposition makes her a joy to be around. I highly recommend her to anyone who is suffering from any chronic pain.

I have been treated by Dr. Cao for six years. She has helped me in so many ways. I have chronic asthma. The treatment I received from her has prevented me from not developing bronchitis. If I do develop bronchitis the treatment received from her does not include steroids. Dr Cao has an awesome knowledge base of herbs and the treatment of many conditions. I trust her completely.
The knowledge and practical application of Eastern medicine is not the only reason I trust her. Dr Cao is a very sensitive and caring physician. She truly wants you to be at your best health possible. I recommend Dr Cao for you and your family.

I was diagnosed with bronchitis in 1992. The doctor had prescribed pills, inhalers, and a nebulizer that I would have to use daily. I met Dr. Cao in 2014. She treated me with acupuncture and Chinese herbs for 3 months. My symptoms decreased 90%. I no longer need to use the medication. I am very thankful to Dr. Cao for the treatment of this condition. I would recommend Dr. Cao to anyone with a chronic illness that is seeking a cure or relief. She is a very caring and experienced doctor. Thank you so much Dr. Cao.

I am a 22 year old female that started getting treated by Dr. Cao due to my severe amenorrhea. I have been seeking medical help from various doctors for several years for my condition. I first got my period when I was 16, but it was very abnormal and I had gone 5 years without any menstrual bleeding. In July of 2014 I was also diagnosed with a pituitary tumor as a result of increased growth hormone activity. Along with the increased growth hormone I also had several other hormones that were elevated (cortisol, testosterone, low progesterone to name a few). In addition I had been experiencing severe headaches, severe IBS syndrome, high stress, difficulty with concentration, memory loss, sporadic back pain, night sweats, and coldness in the hands and feet.
After my first few treatments with Dr. Cao, I experienced significant improvement with my headaches, night sweats, and back pain. In addition my body temperature balanced. After my 6th treatment I experienced my first menstrual bleeding in 5 years. I am currently feeling much better.
I would sincerely like to thank Dr. Cao for all her help and work. I am extremely grateful and I look forward to seeing her in the future.
