I was sceptical that the acupuncture would relieve my back pain but ever since I did my 3 sessions with Robert not once did my pain come back. Will definitely deal with Robert again.

I was suffering from neck pain, facial pain, and frequent headaches. Dr. Robert carefully listened to my concerns and prescribed herbal medicine. Just two days after I started taking the herbs, I was already feeling much better. I'm very impressed with the results and truly grateful for his care. Dr. Robert is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients. Thank you, Dr. Robert! I highly recommend him.

I suffered from trigger thumb for about four months. It was very painful, and my thumb would often lock, making it difficult to use. After just one treatment, I noticed a huge improvement within a few days. Following a second treatment, the problem completely resolved. Thank you, Dr. Tan! I’m very pleased with the results.

Dr. Robert helped me with some digestive and skin issues that I had been having that no one else was able to help with! He’s very knowledgeable and really knows what he’s doing. This was my first time ever trying acupuncture and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend seeing him for any ailments you may be experiencing.

I remember once watching a sci-fi episode (the series was called Supernatural) where the young man (Dean) is suddenly old. He starts complaining about all his sudden aches and pains, so his older counterpart (Bobby) tells him to stop complaining and get used to normal life as a senior. For several reasons, my everyday aches and pains became a bit more than I could bear, and I had run out of allopathic solutions. So, I hesitantly decided to try Traditional Chinese Medicine for the first time. Robert had excellent reviews and was nearby. He patiently and thoroughly asked questions to identify my problems, my symptoms and my concerns. He quickly checked my pulse (on both wrists) and took a photo of my tongue. Then he suggested that my issues would be better served by TCM herbal medicine, rather than acupuncture. He made no promises. He said that the approach involved some testing and tweaking. Each week he fine tuned my “tea” ingredients based on the symptoms I experienced. As my problems improved, and they did improve noticeably, I started gaining confidence in TCM. So, I added other issues to my list of requests. For some requests, Robert said he could not help me, but for most, he said he would try. Over weeks, many of my symptoms improved, a few did not, and several problems I had not mentioned to Robert, improved. When something seemed slightly worse, he would immediately tweak the ingredients, and I would see improvements. My primary complaint was constant lower back pain over many, many years. My back pain did reduce noticeably. Robert said improvements are not always permanent. If the pain returns, I can return for more treatment. After almost six months since I stopped TCM treatment, I have no need to return for additional treatment for my back pain. Overall, many aspects of my health have markedly improved thanks to Robert and TCM. Each week during treatment, Robert gave me a list of the ingredients in the tea. He was calm and knowledgeable. His answers to my constant questions were measured and thoughtful. The TCM I experienced does not require constant, ongoing treatment. If any of my problems do recur, I would not hesitate to contact Robert for additional treatment. Without a doubt, Robert has proven to me that TCM works, and works well. He definitely deserves more than 5 stars out of 5.

After months of on-and-off illness for my baby, toddler, and myself we decided to try Herbal Medicine—and I’m so grateful we did. The 5 star reviews from everyone here is true and worth the money. Antibiotics prescribed from doctors was just not working for us. Rob at Newmarket Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine listened carefully, explained everything in a calm, reassuring way, and tailored treatments for each of us. Within days we noticed steady improvements: better sleep, reduced congestion, and our energy finally coming back. He’s gentle with kids, incredibly knowledgeable, and never rushes appointments. Herbal medicine truly works, and Rob’s approach blends skill with genuine care. Our family feels healthier than we have in ages. Highly recommended.

Robert is professional, knowledgeable and very understanding. He has helped me with a few different issues over the past little while and I’m so grateful for him. I would highly recommend Robert. Thank you so much for all your help!

Dr. Tan has been a lifesaver for my decade-long struggle with spring allergies. After exhausting every Western medical option, antihistamines, multiple doctor and allergist visits—nothing worked until I found Dr. Tan. What sets him apart is his genuine care and attention to detail. He listened carefully to my symptoms, assessed my needs carefully, and followed up to ensure the treatment was working. Within just one acupuncture session and a course of herbal tea, my allergy symptoms vanished miraculously. If you're dealing with seasonal allergy flare-ups and conventional medicine hasn't helped, I highly recommend Dr. Tan. His expertise made a huge difference.

I have been suffering from chronic rhinitis for more than 10 years and have had difficulty breathing through my nose for a long time. After one month of herbal treatment from Dr. Tan, my condition has improved significantly. Now I can breathe very smoothly. It is truly rare to meet such a responsible doctor. 😊

I looked for an acupuncturist to help with my back pain. Dr. Tan was patient, kind and through and I felt better after the first visit. After 2 weeks I am feeling back to my normal self. I'm so grateful for his expertise and treatment!
