    I just moved to the Gold Coast from overseas. Looking for a good acupuncturist. Read all the reviews on Richard and went to see him. He's simply amazing because he combines acupuncture and reflexology together. This is an effective way to treat patients. He also uses tongue and pulse diagnosis which many other acupuncturists can't do.

    I saw Dr Richard today while on holidays in surfers Paradise, he was fantastic, very knowledgeable and very caring to try to treat me as well as he can In my short trip before I go back home. Another lady I spoke to said she travels all the way from Sydney to see him, now that’s a pretty good endorsement! I will certainly book future holidays near Dr Richard’s office so I can see him as I will get more benefit from seeing him in actually coming on holidays and having Sunshine!

    When you are looking for the best acupuncturist, book Richard. I’m a massage therapist and I’m on my feet all day. Sometimes i am not aware of my posture, i get lower back problem and my energy gets low. I’m grateful that Richard fixed my issue. He really knows what he is doing and he really target what your body problem is. He also suggests the best diet for you. It’s worth visiting him.

    Richard was recommended to me by a great friend who was in great pain and almost immobile and after 3 visits he was back at work. I had a back injury and was in pain getting out of chairs/ bed and after 3 visits I’m good again. I’m not saying that you only need 3 visits but it was good for me.

    Thank you Richard for your amazing work! I came in feeling very fatigued, anxious, depressed, and in pain. After 5 months of feeling like this I discovered your clinic and have felt back to my normal self within 2 weeks! I will continue to come back to maintain my energy and hormone balance. Highly recommend Richard to anyone experiencing ongoing health issues.

    Throughout my life, I have struggled with debilitating allergies, which includes allergic eczema and sinusitis. After trying many different treatments, both traditional and conventional, I can confidently say that Richard's treatment has been the most effective by far. Initially, due to having my expectations betrayed countless times, I was quite skeptical about the efficacy of his treatment, but after several sessions with Richard, I noticed immediate improvements in my health. The inflammation and eczema that I had for years began to subside, and my nasal congestion and eye/nose itchiness improved drastically. What sets Richard apart from his counterparts is that he takes the time to listen to his patients and understand his patients as well as explaining what he is doing and how it helps. If you are struggling with similar symptoms or other chronic health problems, I can assure you that Richard's treatment is a game-changer and you will notice immediate improvements in your quality of life.

    Thank you so much Richard for helping restore my health. You are a true professional when it comes to Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I came to see Richard when I was dealing with severe panic attacks, anxiety and stress from a recent PTSD episode…My symptoms were so severe that I did not have much expectations getting any relief from acupuncture sessions, however to my surprise 80% of my issues are healed within a matter of just 2 sessions (spread over 2 weeks) with Richard. My energy levels are getting back to normal and I feel much more confident and calm every passing day. Thank you so much for what you have done to help her my life back 🙏

    Dr. Richard is a truly amazing, he is very skilled and caring doctor. I went there for my unbearable back pain which I almost felt nauseous and couldn’t sleep through the night. I was expecting that he would approach my stiffed up muscles but he treated the Meridians and told me that would ease the inflammation, also stress relief that I could sleep better. He also gave a direction of the food to avoid for inflammation which I was shocked that I had been taking most of them! Surely I slept really well without unbearable pain and next day I felt much better and the second day I could stand straight and be able to sing with the joy. I’ve received many acupuncture in different countries like Japan, USA, Taiwan, England but he is the best!! I highly recommend him to anyone.

    Richard is a great healer with an excellent bedside manner. He charges the bare minimum for his unmatched skills out of desire to help people. No surprise he's very busy& constantly booked out! Highly recommend paying Richard a visit& sticking to his recommendations for your own benefit.

    I had my first session of acupuncture because of my back pain and it really went well! Richard is well verse in his profession and will give you guide to avoid whatever you’re suffering by recommending proper foods/nutrients for the time being.

    Richard is amazing! I have more energy, feel calmer, sleeping better and I am losing weight as I no longer have food cravings. My joints feel much better too. His advice on nutrition is also on point. I would highly recommend this excellent practitioner. Thank you Richard.

    I booked to see Dr Richard due to a compound fracture of the right leg and lower back pain. I have been seeing Dr Richard for approximately 6 weeks now and my energy levels are so much better and my back pain has reduced tremendously. I believe he is all about healing the body and I can say personally I feel amazing after seeing him.

    I cannot thank Richard enough for helping restore my health. I came to Richard with so many health issues, especially the constant headaches, sinus, ear fullness/ soreness, fatigue, balance issues and anxiety. I felt so unwell, I had come to the Gold Coast to spend some time with my sisters. All the blood tests from doctors indicated all was well. For my ears and sinus, I was prescribed many things including antibiotics, nasal sprays, nasal flushing... all to no avail.The next step was seeing an ear/nose throat specialist. I was also prescribed stronger pain killers and relaxant medication for my headaches, neck tension and sinus. Richard was very honest with me about the poor state of my health and how unbalanced my body was. I had been seeing a Chinese herbalist and eating a lot of ginger, black pepper and dandelion tea thinking I was helping my body. With Richards help I learned to eat very differently. He has taught me to eliminate certain foods and increase others and I have followed his advice with great results. I had just received a new job offer in a new location and before I had treatment with Richard I was thinking I would not be able to take the job or move I was so unwell. Now I am feeling so much better and I have not had a headache in 6 weeks. That is miraculous for me, especially as the last six weeks has also included Xmas, moving house and starting a new job! I really urge anyone who is having health issues to try a new approach and go and see Richard (esp if you are frustrated and do not know what to do to gain good health). Richard is a unique health practitioner with such a high level of skill and knowledge, we are so fortunate to have him practicing on the Gold Coast. He is gentle, kind and very professional. An absolute gem. I am deeply grateful for his expertise and dedication. Thank you so much Richard.

    I had suffered from sciatic pain for over 2 year without successfully finding anyone one to cure my pain. Richard was able to fix my sciatic pain within 1 month using acupuncture. I would highly recommend using Richard for any injuries, he is extremely professional, affordable and most of all the master of what he does.

    After 18mths of often times debilitating shoulder/neck/ear pain, living on pain meds that whole time and having the GP offer a prescription for something stronger, a friend suggested I see Richard. I have seen acupuncturists before with average/good results BUT nothing like I have had with Richard. After my first visit the feeling of 'being off centre' and dizzy left and I went that first week without the need to take any pain relief. I have had a number of visits now and have continued to improve. A very big thank-you to Richard and here's to a 100% recovery. I would highly recommend his skills and knowledge to you.

    Dr Richard is a health professional, the knowledge he possesses is thanks to his experience and desire to know about medicine and want to improve people's health, that's what I can say after coming to his office several times, and explain the possible causes and treatments. Don't be fooled by the appearance of his clinic, since it still doesn't have the best facilities, but his work ethics and his experience make coming to his office worthwhile. I came for a lower back injury with a lot of pains and discomfort when walking and from the first day I noticed improvements results.

    Richard is the best acupuncture place on the Gold Coast. I have heard from so many people that he is the best. I have been to Richard twice In the last two years and he had fixed my back no massage place or chiropractor has fixed my back but Richard has done. Would recommend Richard to anyone especially for pain. Miracle worker Thank you Richard

    I have seen Richard 3 times for accupuncture in combination with reflexology. I have many different problems, however, I was living in a water damaged property with high mold toxins/ air samples. Mold can effect the kidneys many studies show this. My kidney tests were a bit abnormal (blood tests) no UTI all tests negative for that. I had extreme bladder issues, to the point I was going to the bathroom every 15 mins and could not urinate properly/ constantly feeling like I needed to go. A lot of agitation. I had 2 sessions and both times was 80-90% better to the point it was basically normal again. Worked basically instantly. There was only one blood test taken after one of the times and my kidney function was in the normal ranges again. But has been up and down bladder issues since then and have only since left the damaged property. No current blood tests. So I can say due to being extremely symptomatic where I was needing to either go to hospital or seek out drugs or western medicine as I couldn't function, that accupuncture and reflexology worked for those issues. For other long standing issues I haven't noticed too much yet. Will see in time. Feel more relaxed after.

    After 3 years of seeing Neurologists, Chiropractors, GP's, ENT's, Vestibular Physio & a Craniomandibular Physio I had no luck finding an answer to why my life suddenly turned upside down. Out of the blue and in a very short time, I began to suffer from headaches & migraines, dizziness, anxiety, depression, internal tremors, brain fog, ear fullness, pressure at the base of my skull & forehead and very dry eyes. I am so grateful that a friend referred me to Richard, after just 4 treatments alot of my symptoms are 70-80% better. I know I still have a long way to go, but I can now see myself getting back into training and doing the things that I love. Thank you for everything Richard, can't wait to start living life again!!

    Dr Lu treated me for sciatica which no specialist or drugs could cure or relieve. My pain was intolerable. It was a completely debilitating condition. After only 5 visits, he cured me completely. He is professional, competent, intelligent and courteous. The cost was reasonable. He accommodated my timetable.

    I had some pain in lower back and . left side .Richard has treated me with acapuncture and reflexology. He is full of knowledge,experience and is passionate about doing his best work and helping people to rid them of their pain. The information he knows on food and how it can be a part of the problem is brilliant. I give him 5 Stars without hesitation. Thankyou Richard.

    I considered acupuncture many times over the years, but after getting covid in March, and my body weakening to the point where I could no longer do a basic yoga class, every sneeze turning into a proper cold, four long months of pain in my left foot, and being given bandaid fixes from MDs, I found Dr Richard tucked away in Surfers Paradise, and reluctantly gave him a go. It turned out to be the best decision I made for my health! His acupuncture, reflexology treatments and informative food advice, were just what my body needed. I've only been seeing Dr Richard for a month, and my body has healed so much! I no longer suffer from pain while I work on my feet, I love my new found respect for healthy food, and look forward to my treatments. I'll be easing back into gym next week, and can't wait for that either! Thank you Dr Richard! I wish I found you much earlier 🙏
