I cannot say enough good things about this place and about Vinko Kuzman!!!…read more I have a nearly two year history with sciatica as a result of not one but three lovely herniated discs in my lumbar. In my mind, surgery is a last resort and I've been on a tour of conservative treatments from physiotherapy to massage and more so I'm no stranger to Chinese medicine or acupuncture. My pain had been under control and I was doing well until a recent flare up landed me in the ER 4 days before our scheduled trip to Sydney (from NYC). Determined not to miss our friends' wedding despite my husband's logical concerns, I stubbornly decided to move forward with our trip. Before leaving the states, I got an (my first) epidural that worked on my lower back but left my sciatica screaming. When we landed in Sydney, I was DESPERATE for relief after not sleeping for over a week. The first acupuncturist I found (NOT Vinko) was very nice but seemed to make things worse. The next day, I found Vinko and was grateful that the holidays left him with availability and he could see me that same day. After asking me a series of questions and patiently listening to me, he did a combination of gua sha and acupuncture on me and AAAAHHH. Finally some relief. I felt mild discomfort instead of utter misery for the first time in days. Throughout our trip, I saw Vinko 3 more times and he helped me feel progressively better... and became almost like a trusted friend to us. His bedside manner is remarkable, his knowledge unmatched, and he truly cares about his patients healing... that much is clear. There was no upsell or disingenuous humble bragging. He made it possible for me to not only get through but actually enjoy my trip. I am forever grateful to Vinko and he will always stand out as one of the best practitioners, professionals and human beings I have met. If you're in Sydney, run don't walk to see him!!!

A couple of months ago I limped in to Dixon One Chinese Medicine Center with pain in my lower back,…read morebuttocks & thighs. I could not walk properly. After about 5 sessions of Acupuncture by Clinician Ping I walked home thru the tunnel leading from Broadway to Central Station. Suddenly I found that I was able to join in the crowd of commuters rushing home to dinner and respite at a very fast pace. I could not walk so fast before. The next morning I was in a pool having a morning swim. To my utmost surprise I found that there was not a spot of pain in my whole body. Hallelujah, I exclaimed and scanned my whole back again and still could not find a spot of pain from the neck down to my toes. I will give Ping's treatment all the stars that are available in view of the excellent result that I received.

Compassionate with superb skill! Dr Ping is an outstanding doctor, someone who has time to…read moreunderstand your health and has the skill to help. I had been to a number of doctors (both western and TCM) before finding Dr Ping. Her navel acupuncture treatment was amazingly effective, after just a few sessions - far different from the long and expensive courses of treatment I had elsewhere with no benefit. So I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Ping. If you need treatment with a difficult and long standing problem, I am confident she can help because that is my experience. Of course if you just need some remedial massage or reflexology, Ping's Clinic is hard to beat!

I can't recommend Eli highly enough. I've been to a few acupuncturists over the past 20 years but…read moreEli's the best. Her treatments have made a huge positive impact to not only the state of my health, but to my life. I first went to see her as I was looking for someone who did facial acupuncture as I had a nasty scar on my face, that I was very self-conscious of. She got rid of that scar in a few treatments. She also helped soften some lines on my face and her beauty treatments just made me feel a whole lot better about ageing. Numerous physical aches and pains were also healed. She's brilliant, and affordable:)

I saw this Chinese Medicine Centre from a distance and it reminded me of the witches markets in La…read morePaz, Bolivia which is a street filled with all sorts of voodoo type herbs and tinctures that even the healthiest nut/hippie/culture savvy person would have heard of. So unless you know what you want it's likely you'll need to employ the help of the sales assistant. I didn't know what I wanted but when the Chinese woman behind the counter suggested that I could do with some of this tea to cool my liver and this tea to calm my nerves I realized it was no coincidence that I'd wandered in there. I had an aching shoulder (nervous tension) and had a boozy night a few days before (liver over worked). She could tell by looking at the colourings in my eyes and facial skin. It didn't surprise me as I've noticed many in the alternative therapy industries do this but it did make me how intense the pain was. She recommended three different teas, all single herbs or flowers and all in large unbranded packets. Other than herbal medicine they also have certified on site acupuncturists, reflexology and massage therapists. These therapies are carried out in therapy rooms at the back of the store for privacy. Now, let's hope the tea helps but something still tells me prevention is the best cure!

Not a theme park. Hard to imagine what an abalone theme park would consist of.

Ok, I'm reviewing this purely out of love for bizarre juxtapositions. The shop window advertised 'Dried Deer Tendons' and phonecards. Together at last. Enormous glass mason jars full of misshapen dried thingies I assume are used for Chinese Medicine. Perversely fascinating.
