Patient Reviews

"David was attentive and explained everything and kept me informed every step of the way. I have been recommending him to my friends and family,” said Winston Francis.

In a letter to her therapist at Northern Medical Center, Emily Prado had this to say, “I was recommended to go to a spinal surgeon for 2 bulging discs and a herniated disc, I didn’t want to accept that without trying something different. So, I went the traditional route trusting in the traditional Chinese medicine that has been successfully used for thousands of years and was not disappointed. Within 7 weeks my pain was gone without medication or surgery. I am such a believer in the natural way now to the extent that I have recommended everyone I know to go there and they are all believers too. We really need to get back to honest, truthful healthcare for patients and this is the right path.

If you are someone who is suffering or feel like you aren’t getting the answers you seek, or the doctors just aren’t listening please go to Northern Medical Center. I promise it will be the last doctor, physical therapist, or pediatric doctor you will ever need to see. … Thank you Dr. Gao and all the staff at Northern Medical Center for not only changing my life but also my friends and relatives. If I could tell the whole world to go, I would! I believe in everything you do and practice!"
