I had neck pain for two days, and a sudden stabbing pain in my head at night. I couldn't sleep at all. I made an appointment with Dr. Li at 2:30 in the middle of the night. I received acupuncture and moxibustion in the clinic at 9:00 in the morning. After the treatment, I could move my neck flexibly. , the head is also much lighter and there is no pain when pressed. Thank you Dr. Li❤️

Excellent teachers, wonderful support, and a well-structured curriculum. The hands-on learning opportunities really help solidify the concepts, and the school creates a positive environment for students to grow. I highly recommend this school for anyone interested in studying acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

I have been twice now for Facial Acupuncture with Dr. Stella Pun and highly recommend the experience. It is part facial, part facial massage, part acupuncture. As a busy mom, entrepreneur and wellness professional this is my go-to anti-aging, relaxation and self care choice.

My experience at ACATCM has been amazing! The teachers are very knowledgeable and always willing to help. They explain things clearly and include many real-life cases, which have helped me learn a lot of practical skills. The school environment is great, and everyone is friendly, with plenty of learning resources available. Most importantly, they have their own internship facility, combining theory and practice, which is crucial for every student studying traditional Chinese medicine.

This school is notorious for prioritizing money over education and pressuring students to pay unnecessary fees under the table. The abundance of fake positive reviews does not reflect the reality of this place, which doesn't even deserve a single star.Despite claiming to be a Chinese medicine school, they show no respect for the principles of Chinese medicine. Their primary focus is money, and they gauge a student's success based on the amount of money they contribute under the table.Two years ago, I, as a Chinese medicine student in Ontario, sought to complete my practical hours at their clinic after moving back to Alberta. After getting confirmation from Benny Xu and the Vice President of my college in Ontario, I was led to believe that it would be feasible without any additional fees. However, upon arriving and meeting with Benny and Neo, I was confronted with unexpected and disrespectful behavior, including demands for substantial fees that were never previously mentioned.Despite the challenges, I persisted in trying to complete my hours, but encountered further obstacles. Even after my college provided all the required documents, I was continually ghosted and met with unprofessional behavior from the staff, including Kyle Picard and Lynda Smith. Apparently, all this was because I didn't pay them all those unnecessary under-the-table fees that were never mentioned before.The lack of professionalism and integrity displayed by the staff, including Kyle Picard and Lynda Smith, is unacceptable. Their focus on money and their disrespectful treatment of students make this school a poor choice for anyone seeking to become a reputable practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.Kyle Picard claims to be a doctor and calls himself a "rising star" in the TCM world. I wasn’t aware that this was Hollywood. I thought TCM practitioners must follow the sayings in the Tao Te Ching: “Those who would take over the world never succeed… the wise never over-reach, over-spend, or over-rate.” What do I know? I thought Kyle was the professional.Lynda Smith is proud to call herself a Dr. on paper but doesn’t have the integrity or mannerisms to practice it in person. If only these people presented themselves more respectfully, I would have the pleasure of calling them doctors.If you are seeking a respectful and ethical environment to pursue your education in traditional Chinese medicine, I strongly advise looking elsewhere. This school falls short of even the most basic standards of professionalism and integrity.It is a shame that this is a Chinese medicine school, yet their administrators and presidents are egoistic and money-hungry.
