Her patients have excellent experiences with her, one stating, “Mrs. Tsao is very detailed and thorough. For new patients she allows for more time in order to assess any issues or ailments prior to treatment.

An acupuncturist is a specialist who practices a type of alternative therapeutic treatment that involves inserting thin needles into a patient’s skin at specific pressure points. Acupuncturists recommend this therapy for pain relief, treatment of certain symptoms and diseases, as well as stress relief. Acupuncture is considered an alternative or complementary therapy and is a common traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Licensing requirements vary by state, however, in 43 states, acupuncturists must be licensed by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
