Report
I am an acupuncturist and have extremely high expectations, not just of the treatments I give my patients but also for the treatments I receive too. I have been to quite a few acupuncturists in the past and I have no hesitation in saying that the treatments I receive from Dr Chau are amazing. I believe that the reason why Dr Chau's treatments are so effective, apart from his extensive knowledge in both Western and Eastern medicine, is because he treats with compassion and integrity.
Dr Chau is a very skilled practitioner and I am truly grateful to him for treating all the acute and chronic conditions

Report
I came to the clinic looking for some help with fertility problems. I was very optimistic and was met with a lot of support through the first few sessions. However on the 5th session where I expressed, that contrary to my own expectations it turns out I do not feel very comfortable taking herbal medication as I do not know what is in it and especially considering I am trying to conceive, I was told that acupuncture is only 10% of treatment and that successfully treated couples already had several pregnancies in the past. Doctor basically told me that it is useless as neither me nor my partner have

I visited Dr Todd who cleared my eczema up after suffering for 30years. He treated me for various ailments and after leaving his practice I felt instantly better. I Would 100% recommend his services. I dont leave reviews but have created this account especially for this.

Prof Chau is a miracle worker! I visited him as I was suffering with extreme back pain and while the treatment itself is quite uncomfortable the results are amazing. I highly recommend the China Clinic.

My wife swears by acupuncture, I have always been a little sceptical. However due to continuing issues relating to stress, anxiety and low mood I decided to give it another go. Todd is excellent at what he does and he has certainly improved my overall mood. I would highly recommend.
