Dr. Zhao helped me recover from a chest lump before, and recently he also cured the sciatic pain in my left leg. Because I sit for long hours at work, my left leg was very uncomfortable from my ankle to my lower back. I went to Dr. Zhao for acupuncture, and he treated my leg carefully each time. After about two months of treatment, my pain is completely gone and I feel healthy again. I can sit, walk, and work without discomfort. I am very thankful for Dr. Zhao’s skill and care. I highly recommend Bow River Wellness to anyone who needs help. Dr. Michael Zhao is professional, kind, and very knowledgeable. I had a lump on my chest that made me very worried and stressed. Finding Dr. Zhao was a great blessing. He treated me several times over two months. The lump got smaller and then disappeared. He is very skilled, and he helped me get my health back. I strongly recommend him to everyone. Thank you so much, Dr. Michael Zhao!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to receive your treatment and care! Truly appreciate!

Very professional service, pleasant people to deal with. Extremely organized. Dr. Michael treated me for several conditions and always with successful results. I am very grateful and fortunate to know him for many years. Thanks you very much!

Dr. Zhao is caring, professional and knowledgeable. He helped me with bronchitis, severe eczema/rashes, swelling, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, immune system issues, and more. I've been going to see him on and off for 7 years - whenever I have a concern and want a wholistic solution (i.e. I want to solve a recurring rash with acupuncture rather than repeating steroid creams). Dr. Zhao will supplement his treatment with herbs, pressure points to do at home, massages, cupping, etc. as needed. The team is flexible and kind and have become familiar faces I look forward to seeing.

I have been treated by Dr. Michael (that’s how my whole family who he also treats affectionately refers to him) For 20 years, every ailment or issue he has an expert method to treat built by a lifetime of study and experience. His results speak for themselves. I am a true believer in his methods and treatments and Calgary is very fortunate to have such an incredible doctor. Thank you Doctor!

Dr.Michael Zhao is the best acupuncturist I have ever seen. He has treated me for several conditions and each and every time the relief is immediate. The treatments have done, for my husband and I, what Chiro and massage could not. Calgary is very fortunate to have such a highly skilled practitioner. We now drive over an hour to see him. I confidently recommend him to everyone I know. Thank you Michael.

This is the best place to go for acupuncture in the city hands down. I've been going to him for over 15 years to help with various things over that time frame: weight loss, sciatica, allergies, sleep issues, cravings, inflammation injuries to name a few and each time he's been able to help me. Whether you are younger or older, I saw him for the first time when I was 22, he treats everyone with respect, integrity and dedicated help for your symptoms. He knows what he's doing and you need to do yourself a favor and stop wasting your time with other so called acupuncture professionals and go here. He is the real deal and I would never trust anyone else in this city for my acupuncture sessions.

Dr Michael Zhao is very knowledgeable, kind, and caring. He is highly trained in Chinese medicine, anatomy, physiology, and overall health. He has diagnosed and treated a number of conditions that my chiropractor and massage therapist were not able to do. We are very fortunate to have Dr Zhao in Calgary!

Been going to Dr. Michael (Mingcai) Zhao for a few years now. His clinic is clean as you will notice once you step in, as patients are required to take off any outdoor footwear. He's very upfront and blunt but does it in a caring way, what he says is for your best interest regarding your health. My family has been successfully treated by him on numerous occasions when western medicine has failed us. We've been treated by acupuncture, acupressure and herbal medicine. Every body is different but we've found his treatments have been effective for us.

I am a patient with Dr Shuo ZHang for almost three years. My overall health conditions have been significantly improved. The macular degeneration was successfully treated after two years of acupuncture. My father and my mother are also his patients. My father is stubborn and does not believe traditional Chinese Medicine. He suffered from severe skin disorder and eczema. After half years of Chinese herb and acupuncture, he is fully recovered. Now he is fan of traditional Chinese medicine. My mother has SS (Sjogrens syndrome). Her situation has also been improved after 2 years of acupuncture. He is the expert of the traditional Chinese Medicine.

Having been as a patient with Dr. Hugh Shuo Zhang for over 8 years, I have always been amazed by his professionalism. Dr. Zhang is knowledgeable and passionate on Chinese traditional medication. He cares the patients and always prescribes the treatment based on individual’s condition, case by case. He has successfully treated my son’s eczema and my daughter allergies. I am blessed to find such a good Dr. in Calgary that I can be assured to be treated in a right way for any health issue.
