Dr. Shao has created a holistic healing experience, she addresses mind, body and spirit and helps you balance completely. After my first visit I recommended her to my entire family and we all are going to see her regularly. She is very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate, highly recommended! Sam is also a very caring person, always ready to greet you with a smile!

I went to Dr. Shao for issues with high triglycerides and cholesterol levels. Her six treatments over a period of about 2 months dropped my triglycerides from 189 to 116, LDL from 133 to 115, overall cholesterol from 223 to 194. Additionally, my AIC went from 7.2 to 6.4. Her dietary recommendations, herbal supplement, additional exercise, along with the treatments, worked wonders. No statins or metformin for me.!!!

Dr Shao and Sam (in the office) are highly kind, professional, and knowledgeable. They have been helping me with my allergies beyond what allergists have done. You will not regret seeing them. Five stars!

The 1st time I made an appointment, I had food poisoning (due to eating expired yogurt). I had lost 8lbs in 3 days. My fear of traditional doctors led me to Chinese medicine.After I got off the table I was 100% cured, no more diarrhea or vomiting. I trust her 100% and I have complete faith in her. Now I go to quarterly to help destress. Be good to yourself and make an appointment.

My first visit to Dr. Shao was awesome I never did acupuncture before. I was very pleased with the results. I went to Dr. Shao because I feel eastern and western medication makes you sicker so by I love taking my herbal vitamins I just figured why not a herbal doctor well Dr. Shao is it. This was my first session. I actually can say I enjoyed going to the doctor I went to her because my blood pressure was high she gave me medication to take for it as well as shakes for losing weight cant wait to see results. See you next week. Sam is so very nice I enjoyed talking with him. When I think of excellent customer service I can think of Mr. Sam.

Went for smoking cessation. I attended 4 visits but didnt smoke after the first visit. I did not feel nicotine withdrawals but of course had to break the habit of habit. Shao was very nice and made you feel relaxed. She uses heat lamps which was a pleasant surprise.

I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Shao many years ago. That experience, and my subsequent visits, changed my life completely! Over the years she has treated me for many things, including really bad sports injuries.. I relocated to another city in Florida a few years ago. However, I often wish I could get back to her for treatment. Wonderful energy and people! Thank you for everything Dr. Shao, and Sam! The last injury I was in for was my badly sprained ankle. Which you helped heal completely, without surgery! Thank you sooo much! I hope everyone is super well! See you next time I make it to Tampa!

Doctor Shao is awesome and we are committing to stay here for long time recovery, planning maybe a year. She is literally helping me rehab and to walk. Crossing my fingers and praying for sitting to be in my future. If anyone will do it, it is Dr. S! No pressure...lol.Thanks so much,Conny

Moved here from SC in late February of 2018. Found Dr. Shao on Google and made an appointment. My wife has Lyme Disease and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. She was seeing acupuncturist in Charleston, SC for about 9months. He helped her be able to walk again after 10 years of being bed ridden, so we are firm believers in acupuncture. Dr. Shao has been even better! Her pain level has decreased, her walks have gotten longer and even an occasional sitting, which she hasnt been able to do in 10 years.Hats off to Dr. Shao, you are mine and my wives hero!!!Strongly recommend Dr. Shao at Florida Acupuncture Solutions!!

I have been coming to Dr. Shao for a number of years now, as needed. She helps where western medicine begins to fail. Better living through chemistry, or surgery is not always the best answer. What we eat is a major concern and it shows up as dysfunction in the body. She can address root causes for issues. You will come away feeling better. You will return for tune ups, trust me to stay healthy.

Love how easy it is to make an appointment and how effective the treatments are. I’ve gone for lower back pain, endometriosis, and for nausea. If you’re skeptical just give it a try and let your body tell you if it works. I was skeptical at first and it took two - three times before I was convinced it was working. I must admit what made me go was I was fed up with the pain I decided to stop ignoring the friends who recommended accupuncture. Now if I miss an appointment, my body will remind me “it’s time to go back!”

Results are seen quickly here especially if you follow Dr. Shaos recommendations for diet changes. My family has received the following services here: Allergy Elimination Therapy, opening of locked sinuses, Acupunture for muscle and joint pain, and help with health and weight loss. They are truly experts in the field!

Life Changing!!! I get more relief and rejuvenation from an acupuncture visit than a massage. The shakes are also a staple in my house.

I have been seeing Dr. Shao for various ailments over the years. She is extremely professional and very results oriented. She takes time to listen to your problems and then does a very thorough job in explaining the treatment. For her, treatment is not just limited to the body, but is for the mind and spirit as well. I highly recommend Dr. Shao.

I absolutely love Dr Shao and Sam, they have been a Godsend to me. I started going for endometriosis and digestive problems, and have seen a huge difference. But totally had an unexpected result arise after the first treatment. I had torn a tendon im my foot several years ago and could no longer run, tried physical therapy, kinda helped, but really only got mt to .7 miles before pain would set in. I also had horrible ankle pain nightly. Literally after the first treatment i noticed the 2nd night the ankle pain was completely gone (and she wasnt evem treating me for that!) And im running my first 5k race in years this weekend! Back to digestive issues , i seriously have no idea how she does what she does during her exams, sometimes i sit there like huhh?? And then bam she calls me out on certain foods she can tell i consumed too much of, like nails it every time. Lol i really dont understand it but thats fine shes delivered on results over and over. I am SO glad i found her . Also her office hours are amazing especially if you work long days. And Sam is the best!! They make it a better day for you thats for sure. Thanks to you both so much.

I love Dr. Shao. If not for her I would not have been able to achieve my dream of having a baby. I went to her. I did whatever she said and I have a baby girl now. I would recommend her to anyone who is seeking accupuncture.

My wife was in a car accident 6 years ago. She suffered from a major neck injury. She couldnt turn and she had serious ear pressure for the last 6 years. She has consulted many physicians and had no progress. She was in despair.Two months ago, after I convinced her to see Dr. Shao. Her life started turning around. After the 1st visit, she can start turning and ear pressure disappeared by 90%. After weekly visit of 2 months, her pain disappeared by 95%.Now, she feels like a superwoman. She even challenged me in soccer, tennis, swimming, ...etc.Dont give up because we have Dr. Shao.

Before I started Acupuncture I was hospitalized at least once a year for severe digestive problems or Sinus infections caused by allergies, to the point that my system was not accepting any more antibiotics. I good friend of mine referred me to Dr Shao and after a few treatments my life started to be more enjoyable. Having Dr Shao and her staff in my life is a real blessing. Thank you Dr, Shao, Lea and Sam, you are the best,Carmen Geisler

My husband has suffered with Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia which causes severe daily migraine headaches for more than 30 years. Over the years, He has gone to several neurologists who have been almost no help to his condition. Our internist gave us Dr. Shaos business card and on his first visit it was life changing. His headaches are gone. Dr. Shao has helped with abdominal pain as well. She is extremely patient and caring. You couldnt ask for a better acupuncture doctor .He has gone to her when he had what was diagnosed as a viral intestinal problem. After several treatments, the problem went away without any Western medicine or drugs. We thank Dr. Shao for having such knowledge and ability to get him back healthy.Sincerely,Barbra & Don Ferguson

Love it.....I love it. These are my reasons why Dr. Shao is my acupuncturist.I used to work with an Acupuncture, on and off for over ten years, but he got married and moved out of the states.I found an Acupuncturist that was a three hours drive from Tampa. She was good, but I felt things had to be done her way only.One day, I gave into a calling to an acupuncture who was not Dr. Shao. I went with her for almost a year, but then felt off when I needed help with western medicine and on top of a other things.I needed help with medical assistance and called acupunctures with both Western and Eastern medical backgrounds in Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, but only two were willing to help.When I needed any kind of medical guidance, Dr. Shao was available.When I was going through family problems - past and present, which then caused and causes emotional instability, Dr. Shao listened compassionately and gave me acupuncture treatments that helped stabilized it. With acupuncture and seeing a psychologist sure speeds up my emotional recovery.When my foot had a heavy glass dropped on it; I was toughing it out and decided to not tell Dr. Shao about it. In turn had me in an emotional blockage, which for some reason, I finally told her about the accident. The accident caused me some physical restriction that I did not noticed until the end of the treatment. My foot was fully extending and flexing with smoothness and ease.What I love most about Dr. Shaos office is the people. They are down to earth, honest, patient, knows both Western and Eastern Medicines, and takes the time to explains whatever it is I am concern with, i.e. culture, medicine, cooking, life style, and living.Most importantly to me, Dr. Shao does not close herself to one sets of thought, idea, way, treatment, method, and she does not force me to do anything that I am not comfortable with.

I love to run!! That being said, I knew I had problems and issues getting to the next level of commitment and endurance with my running. The reason I started running was to help clear my head of anxiety and stress from work. My body began telling me that I needed help to keep going. That is when I researched and explored the idea of acupuncture and asked around, in circle of running friends, for recommendations and found Acupuncture Solutions.This was my first time ever trying acupuncture. I was nervous and did not know what to expect. Dr. Shao evaluated me and immediately helped me put my mind at ease. I fell asleep on the table (I have insomnia)!! I knew I needed an alternative approach to my health and running lifestyle. I thought it was just sticking needles but, wow, was I wrong!! I have learned so much about energy, chi, and life force that has helped me so much!! and Dr. Shao and Dr. Xue are wonderful. They treat the mind, body and spirit.I recently did the 2013 Gasparilla Challenge, which was four races in two days (15k, 5k, half-marathon and 8k). I contribute my ability to being able to complete this awesome weekend of running to them.
