Total Wellness Centre's Chinese Doctors are highly experienced, professional and caring people. Each Chinese Doctor is selected not only for their educational background and experience, but for their ability to connect with their patients.

Our acupuncture and TCM Doctors have more than 100 years of combined experience (on average 25 years each). Each of the Chinese Doctors has a rich family history in traditional Chinese medicine. They have received training in such countries as China, Australia, Japan and Canada. In addition, our Doctors are leading professors in their respective fields.

Bill Xu, Linda Xu, Lily Peng, David Xi, and David Bai all specialize in infertility, women's health including hormonal imbalances, endometriosis, fibroids, male factor infertility and acupuncture.

Our Doctors of Acupuncture are among a select few Doctors in Toronto who specialize in custom herbal prescription formulas (raw herbs, concentrated powder herbs and 'patent' herbal pills). The ability to properly prescribe herbs requires years of education and experience. Prescribing patent herbal pills is not a substitute for proper custom herbal prescriptions. While acupuncture can be performed by various allied health professionals, it is our belief that complete education and understanding of traditional Chinese medicine including acupuncture, herbs, tuina massage, and diet, is essential to proper patient treatment.

Traditionally in China, Chinese medicine requires two degrees; one bachelor level degree in medicine and acupuncture and and advanced degree in another area of specialization such as herbal prescriptions. Doctors of Chinese Medicine in China, for the most part, have educational backgrounds in both Western (conventional) medicine, as well as Chinese medicine. Our Doctors have all attained at least one bachelor and one master's level degree in traditional Chinese Medicine in the following areas: western conventional medicine (MD in China) and Chinese medicine, gynaecology, herbal prescriptions, and physiology. This educational foundation must be combined with practitioner experience and a desire to help people achieve optimal health.

Presently in Canada, no schools or universities offer degree level courses in Chinese medicine. Today, the highest level of education a locally trained student can hope to achieve is a diploma level course from a private school. Total Wellness Centre supports the effort to bring university degree level courses to Ontario so that locally trained students can achieve the same high level of education and medical ability as Chinese trained Doctors of Chinese Medicine.
