To know who I am you need to know where I’ve been. I’ve had a “problem” for almost three years and 12 doctors telling me “live with it”. I finally came to see Dr. Harry. After only two visits I noticed a BIG difference and now I think I’m on the road to a full recovery.

Dale and I had sought practitioners who were trained in more traditional oriental medicine. We have found Dr. Shao to be kind, humble, compassionate and gifted beyond anyone we have seen in the past forty years. His ability to perceive, diagnose and treat us has been very accurate. His skills are truly God Given!

In clinical practice Dr. Shao conducts himself conscientiously. Determined to understand and lessen suffering, he utilizes finely honed clinical skills. Dr. Shao is frequently sought out for his patient in gentle style, confirmed by my own experience, conversation in the waiting room and by acquaintances whom he has treated. He often treats difficult cases where conventional medical treatment has been infective or incomplete, requiring extra time and professional investment. He has had success with individuals who have a history of psychological or physical trauma and are thus fearful or resistant to treatment. His personal quality of trustworthiness and safety, coupled with his determination to help allow such patients to obtain successful results. Dr. Shao has facilitated and supported my recovery from several injuries and from a chronic condition for which surgery was often recommended. My daughter consistently requests treatment by Dr. Shao over other health care providers. To describe Dr. Shao as a kind and caring doctor understates his compassion and dedication to patients and to his profession.

I started going to Dr. Harry in August of 2013. The first thing that told me this was different than going to see a regular doctor was the fact that he actually talked to me for more than 2 minutes before rushing to tell me what pill I needed to take, or what stretch I needed to do, then scribble it down and leave. Most doctors focus on the surface issue, not the real CAUSE. I am a prime example of this; I was told I had plantar fasciitis after a 30 second scan. This was completely wrong. Dr. Harry on the other hand spent almost 45 minutes with me on my initial visit. He listened to how I was feeling, what other doctors had told me, and then proceeded to ask more questions. He wasn’t in a rush which made the appointment meaningful and engaging. After our discussion, he talked to me about trigger points and proceeded to touch three that were blocked by scar tissue on me. It was amazing! The issue was not plantar fasciitis at all, which I had been doing treatments on for 5 months. After the first acupuncture session, I felt results and pain subsiding. With every session, the pain would dissipate a bit more until it was gone. I highly recommend giving acupuncture a try. It addresses the issue physically and mentally, and is quite relaxing.

As a patient of Harry, his diagnosis and treatment has been impressive. More importantly, he is a caring Physician whose concern for patients often went beyond routine clinical care.

Dr. Harry was a direct referral from Dr. James Nicolai, an integrative Health Physician who spoke very highly of Dr. Harry’s caring nature and abilities as a Chinese Medicine Doctor. Meeting Dr. Harry became a major turning point in my life. It will be difficult to tell you in just a letter how much he, as a genuine caring individual, as well as, in my opinion, the best doctor I have ever come in contact with throughout my 43 years, has meant to me. He has become my first avenue for health care; he has helped me on several occasions when conventional medicine did not.

When I made my first appointment to see Dr. Harry, several years ago, I was apprehensive about acupuncture and a little skeptical. However, I was in a lot of pain from a hip injury and it was not responding to traditional western therapy. Consequently, I was willing to give Chinese medicine a try. When I arrived for my appointment, Dr. Harry immediately put me at ease with his gentle bedside manner and calming voice. After an examination, he described his diagnosis, outlined his treatment plan and explained what to expect at each stage of treatment. After the treatment began, any remaining skepticism disappeared and I was surprised to find there was very little pain. The healing progress, along with relief from pain, happened in stages just as he had described in out first meeting. At the end of the treatment, my pain was completely gone and Dr. Harry gave me a number of preventative exercises to help prevent reoccurrence of my injury and pain. He was very professional throughout the treatment and put me at ease from any concerns. Since my first visits, I have returned for additional treatment and also have referred family members and friends to get treatment from Dr. Harry. His patient demeanor and calming voice have remained unchanged since my first visits, as well as projecting genuine care and concern for his patients. His extensive training in Chinese medicine, as well as American Chiropractic medicine, have given him a broad perspective and wider variety of treatment skills than many acupuncturists. I feel that we are lucky to have Dr. Harry in the community. I prefer going to Dr. Shao because he is so kind, caring and seems to always help so much. I have worked with others, but I am more comfortable with him and end up healing faster. I have given his names to friends that also have a lot of injuries.

I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve been able to accomplish in just six treatments what four different neurologists haven’t been able to do in over 15 years, which is get to the root of the problems causing my severe restless legs syndrome (RLS). You have taught me so much about how balance in my left/body can work for or against me, but your teachings have not been just have words you have demonstrate this belief through each and every treatment. I have gone from sleeping only 1-2 hours a night before my RLS would make me to 5 solid hours last night. Thank you! You are an amazing talented, kind and helpful.
