“Everyone was really nice and I was able to schedule day of service. The only problem was the practitioner left two needles in my leg, is it common? I called for help for so long, practitioner said he thought I was on a phone call. I’m a little wary to try acupuncture again as it is a new service to me, they still charged me. Terrible experience”Read moreShow less

“This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a clinic. On February 20th, I contacted the clinic because I had severe neck pain and wanted an adjustment with Dr. Zhang, who I trust. I was told he was on leave and was offered an appointment with Bruce instead. I didn’t realize who he was at the time. When I arrived, I recognized him as the same person who had previously given me massage and moxibustion treatments that were completely ineffective and even made my condition worse. If I had known in advance, I would NEVER have booked with him. Unfortunately, I was in too much pain to leave, so I gave it a try. Big mistake. His technique is extremely poor. He started randomly squeezing my neck with no clear method or understanding of what he was doing. The massage was completely useless—no pressure, no precision, no relief. It felt like he had no professional training at all. His previous moxibustion treatment was just as bad. Anyone with basic knowledge knows it should focus on specific points for effectiveness, but he applied it randomly to multiple areas, resulting in zero benefit. It showed a complete lack of expertise. After about 10 minutes, I could not tolerate it anymore and decided to stop. I did not feel safe letting him continue, especially for an adjustment. Then came the most shocking part: he checked the time, insisted on charging me, asked for my name, and even threatened to blacklist me. This is absolutely outrageous and unacceptable behavior. I have never encountered someone with such poor skills AND such an arrogant attitude. It is honestly alarming that someone like this is allowed to treat patients. As for the front desk, while polite, I was repeatedly pressured to purchase a membership despite having insurance. Why is there such aggressive upselling? Is it really that difficult to process insurance properly? This needs serious improvement. To be honest, the only reason this clinic has any credibility is because of Dr. Zhang and Claudy. Without them, there is absolutely no reason to come here. I strongly advise others to be cautious when booking and to avoid Bruce.”Read moreShow less

“Dr. Kuo and his team changed my health. I came into the clinic with severe eczema that wouldn’t stop spreading on my hands and face. No other doctor I visited was able to help without steroids. After just one session, it was like magic — my eczema vanished completely in two weeks, and two months later, I feel like a new person! Not to mention, the herbal medicine also solved my hormonal issues, allergic reactions, and energy levels. Amazing and knowledgeable doctors ❤️”Read moreShow less

“I had a RMT service with them once. They charged a price match with other provider in the area, yet cannot say with the matching service. The room for the service was small and often disturbed by other rooms noise, making you can't relax. If I can have a better environemt for the whole service with the same price, why should I go for this one?”Read moreShow less

“Dr. David is extremely professional. I had severe discomfort in my neck and back muscles, but after just two treatments with him, I felt much better and am confident to continue my sessions with him. In addition, David has very strong knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and always explains the root cause of my issues and the treatment plan in simple and easy-to-understand language. I highly recommend anyone with physical discomfort to consult Dr. David for a proper diagnosis and treatment.”Read moreShow less

“I had an amazing experience at Bonalife Acupuncture on Kingsway. Dr. Shawn is truly skilled and professional. I came in with muscle tension and chronic discomfort, and he suggested trying electric shock acupuncture—something I hadn’t experienced before. To my surprise, it worked wonders. The treatment was precise, effective, and surprisingly relaxing. Dr. Shawn took the time to explain the process, making me feel completely at ease. I left the clinic feeling lighter, more mobile, and genuinely impressed by the results. Highly recommend both the clinic and Dr. Shawn for anyone seeking natural, effective pain relief.”Read moreShow less

“My family and I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Kuo and his wonderful team for their kindness and excellent medical care during a very difficult time. While traveling from Toronto to Vancouver, I became extremely ill and frail, and I am truly grateful to have found Dr. Kuo at the Bonalife Acupuncture & Herbal Medical Clinic, Richmond branch. Following Dr. Kuo’s professional advice, I took the prescribed traditional Chinese medicine, which enabled me to return safely to Toronto. After completing nearly all of the medication upon arriving home, I experienced a swift and complete recovery from a severe viral infection. My symptoms—including loss of voice, loss of appetite, sore throat, extreme fatigue, and profuse sweating—were quickly alleviated thanks to his expert care. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kuo to anyone in need of skilled traditional Chinese medical treatment. His professionalism, compassion, and effective therapies made a significant difference in my recovery, and we deeply appreciate for his kind help and guidance.”Read moreShow less

“Dr. Guo is incredibly skilled! Truly worthy of being called a miracle worker. He cured my shingles. I had been suffering from the pain of shingles for over a month, and the painkillers prescribed by the ER doctor were completely ineffective. After just two acupuncture treatments from Dr. Guo, I experienced a miraculous improvement and can now sleep normally. I believe I'll fully recover soon. I am truly grateful to Dr. Guo!”Read moreShow less
