I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gordon. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure each appointment delivers the best possible results. Over the past couple of years, he has helped me tremendously with skin issues, digestion, stress, and sleep. He takes a thoughtful, holistic approach and clearly explains how everything in the body is connected, which makes the process feel empowering and reassuring. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients, and his calm, grounding demeanour makes every visit incredibly relaxing. I’m so grateful to have found him.

I learned about Dr. Gordon Zhao from my RMT who was telling me about his own healing journey and that he had found an acupuncturist "unlike any other" who had really helped him. I had never seen an acupuncturist before and I didn't give it much further thought although I was happy for my RMT. A year later though, when I was feeling really stuck in life, I said a prayer asking for guidance for what would be the best direction for my healing and Dr. Gordon Zhao kept coming strongly to mind so I booked an appointment. I left that first appointment feeling so relaxed, open, and hopeful. It made an immediate difference to releasing the tension I was holding, increasing my range of motion in my injured shoulder, and calming my active mind. Over the next several months, Dr. Gordon helped me and taught me so much. With his thoughtful pacing, he made helpful suggestions about how to improve my health and how to maintain what I was gaining. I love how he explains what he is doing and the phrasing he uses. I find myself repeating those helpful and meaningful phrases like mantras later in the week. I am so grateful that I was told about Dr. Gordon Zhao and I am really looking forward to my next appointment.

Always have the best experience! Gordon is extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. He takes the time to explain everything and does a great job of understanding your pain points and ensures you are comfortable. I always leave feeling less tense after every session. I highly recommend Gordon for accupuncture you will not regret it!

I had a great experience with Gordon during our acupuncture session! I came in to get some work done on my knee while I was out of town and I really appreciated how he took the time to explain TCM and his process to me. I felt significantly better leaving than I did coming in, and the session really helped me integrate both knowledge and prior experiences I have had with TCM with a mind-body perspective!

As an Asian person, I have basic knowledge on TMC and wants to find a a good acupuncturist that actually have a deep, medical knowledge on TCM and the body. In Asia, the course length are often in years with hands on experience as well. I'm so happy to find Gordon! He is super knowledgeable and are able to explains things extremely well to you. He knows his stuff and even after one session I can feel my body responding to the treatment in a good way! If you are looking for an acupuncturist that is polite, knows his craft and can execute it well, you will not disappoint!

As someone who hates needles, I would highly recommend Gordon for his acupuncture services. He doesn't' just target the pain area, but focuses on your general well-being as well for your treatment. He's also super gentle and explains his process very thoroughly throughout your session so you're not just sitting there with needles on your body not understanding why they're there. He also gives great holistic advice to improve your general health based on your body type as well. I've recommended him to my coworkers and friends already.

I leave Open Space with incredible posture and feeling super relaxed and pain free. I recommend Gordon to anyone curious about the benefits of acupuncture because he is definitely the best out there and will answer any of your questions!

Open Space Acupuncture was a serendipitous discovery in a desperate effort to help my husband alleviate an intense back pain he woke up to one day. He went from not being able to turn his head before the appointment to getting his full range of motions back within one treatment. I started seeing Gordon shortly after for a number of health issues and have been happy with the result so far. I’ve seen numerous acupuncturist in the past and I have to say Gordon has been the most attentive, knowledgeable and nurturing therapist I’ve encountered. Most therapists just put the needles in and leave, while Gordon stays by your side the majority of the session to walk you through each step. He also gives invaluable advice in lifestyle changes and diets you can adapt in addition to acupuncture. Highly recommend Gordon!!

Gordon is the most effective and patient practitioner I have ever been treated by! He's extremely passionate about what he does and a strong advocate for educating his clients. Gordon takes the time to understand your needs and caters to each of his patient's comfort level with acupuncture. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!
