Incredibly happy with the results my family has received with Robert’s treatment! He puts his patients’ well-being first, is very knowledgeable and works thoroughly in order to get to the best possible outcome. Someone as kind and dedicated is a rare find. An easy recommendation.

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Robert and his expertise in Chinese medicine herbs. I sought his help for Interstitial Cystitis and chronic recurring Urinary Tract infections, and the impact on my quality of life has been profound. Robert’s approach is not just about the herbs but about understanding the whole person and their health journey. He took the time to listen and tailored a treatment plan that suited my needs. Throughout the ups and downs of managing these conditions, Robert has been incredibly patient and supportive. Moreover, I am now also undergoing herbal medicine treatment, and acupuncture, to address my back pain. Based on my experience thus far, I am confident that Robert will select the right treatment approach to help me recover. Under his care, I have noticed significant improvements in my symptoms and overall well-being. His knowledge and dedication are truly remarkable. I highly recommend Robert to anyone seeking holistic and effective treatment for similar health challenges. Thank you, Robert, for changing my life and helping me regain control of my health.

I’ve been receiving treatment at Newmarket Acupuncture for arthritis and bloating, and I've been experiencing great results. I highly recommend this doctor; he is incredibly knowledgeable and take’s the time to address any questions or concerns you may have. I would rate him more than a 5 star!

I met Robert by reviewing acupuncture and TCM treatment online last year. I had never tried acupuncture but had relied on other herbal remedies in the past. I was researching alternative treatments to help with a painful trigeminal neuralgia condition that I have had for 20 years. My nerve pain affects one side of my face and when it flares up is extremely debilitating to speak, eat, or touch my face. I am so grateful to have found relief in minimizing this condition by consuming the customized TCM teas and acupuncture with Robert’s knowledge and treatment. I found him very responsive, accessible and he adapts the treatment to changing conditions that he observes in the body. Thank you Robert for your ongoing care!

I found Robert online and thought I’d give him a try as I’ve had chronic lower back pain and issues for 15+ years, and lingering tennis elbow for months. After a handful of sessions coupled with the herbal tea, my back hasn’t felt this good in years and my elbow is fully recovered and I 100% attribute this to his work. He’s willing to listen, take the time and adapt each session, and I would recommend him to anyone!

I showed up to see Robert & was utterly shocked by the horrible experience. He did not greet me with a smile, or any warm, rapport-building conversation. After filling out some forms, he asked why I was there. I told him that I am preparing for pregnancy (proactive) & had some slight tingling in my back that I wanted treated with acupuncture. When he probed further (desperately searching for a problem he could “fix”), he claimed that having some slight cramping during your first day of your period was “not normal” (LOL) and was a sign of fertility problems (even though I already told him I have been to the gynaecologist and everything is perfectly fine). This stone-faced man was trying to tell me what is normal for a woman to fear monger & sell his Chinese herbs. If you are a white, Canadian person.. this acupuncturist will outright demean you. Please, heed my advice - do not waste your time going to this man’s at-home “clinic” & find a practitioner who will actually support you in the way you ask to be supported.

I was dealing with a shoulder injury. Rob helped me troubleshoot the pain and gave me so much relief with the acupuncture and TCM. He was always on time, lovely to engage with and very thoughtful to the details of my injury. Can't say enough great things about Rob!

I saw Robert to deal with acute congestion that had been nagging me for over a year. He took the time to understand the issues and after three sessions combined with herbs my sinuses are significantly better. Big relief. Definitely recommend him.

Dr.Tan is very professional and super organized. I had some noticable improvements after a few sessions. And more importantly, he is approachable. He personally followed up with me regularly. I feel comfortable asking questions and he gave me detailed explanations. Another plus is that his treatment does not require me to go over a crazy lifestyle change compared to the TCM treatment I went through when I was a kid, strongly recommend.
