I am posting on behalf of my cousin Donna.

Imagine if you will not being able to feel your feet and lower legs. This was my life. On a walk over to see an elderly neighbour I fell face first onto the sidewalk breaking my nose and seriously injuring my head and knees.

Doctors at my local hospital were at a loss as to what had caused my lack of feeling. Over six months I was to see not one but five different foot doctors who believed that there was nothing to be done to help me.

I was sent for numerous blood tests to determine if the cause of my neuropathy was diabetes. I do not have diabetes but certainly did have immense frustration. I had gone from being independent to having to use a cane and a walker. My life had taken a very downward turn.

After a relative read a short article in her local newspaper about neuropathy and the results that TLC Medical clinic was having it was passed on to me. Reading the article gave me a glimmer of hope. I made an appointment to go for an assessment. I was very impressed with the care and compassion which I received and decided to go forward with acupuncture treatment.

Over the course of the summer I have had significant improvement, going from an almost total loss of feeling to being able to feel a Cheerio that I had dropped on my kitchen floor. My spirit has returned; I now have a more positive outlook and best of all am able to walk without the walker using a cane as a security measure. My life is on an upward path rather than one of being consigned to a wheelchair.

Thank you Teresa and staff for your wonderful care.

When western medicine avenues continued to frustrate and fail me, I decided to pursue traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. An osteopath recommended Teresa to me for my period and generalized pain. Upon my initial consultation, I felt seen and heard. Teresa approached my issues with knowledge and empathy. The staff are incredibly welcoming and kind. After my initial treatment plan, I feel an incredible improvement in my pain and energy levels. The calming environment is a nice reset. If you've been intrigued by TCM and acupuncture, look no further! Teresa and her team are your people.

I came in for acupuncture not knowing what to expect, and I’m so glad I did! The results have been incredible — my poor sleep quality and tension headaches have significantly improved. Teresa is gentle, fast, knowledgeable, and made me feel totally at ease. I leave every session feeling more balanced and relaxed. Truly a healing experience! Will strongly recommend this place for acupuncture.

After 9 rounds of chemo and 28 rounds of radiation I was left with extreme neuropathy in my feet. I could feel nothing! We went to the cottage and I threw my stoma scissors into my shoe to transport them and then proceeded to go on a hike full of hills for two hours. When we got back I saw that there was a pair of scissors in my shoe and I could not believe I walked on them, and felt nothing.
I saw Teresa's ad in the Beach Metro News and went to see her.
She did all kinds of tests and my feet were almost 100 percent numb. That made me frightened and she assured me that acupuncture would help. Well it did. I still go regularly and I can finally feel everything including any little pebble in my shoes.
Her staff are absolutely fantastic and I love to go and have some me time and I say run(if you can) to see her. It took some time and I was very patient as she has changed my life!!!!!

Response from the owner 15:30 08 Jul 25

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re incredibly moved by your journey and honoured to be part of your healing. Your trust and patience mean the world to us, and we’re thrilled to witness your progress!

I never believed in the effects of acupuncture until I experienced it with Dr. Lau. Her energy already calms you down, her perspective is very helpful, and diagnosis so accurate with how you are feeling. I exit the office all relaxed and better able to control my thoughts and emotions.
I highly recommend and trust Dr. Teresa Lau

Teresa absolutely revolutionized my menstrual cycles, I haven't used a pain medication in 4 cycles now. My PMS symptoms have been minimal after 5 consecutive treatments snd now I come in for wellness and managing stress, anxiety and insomnia. I will always refer anyone to TLC Medicine!

I was terrified of having laser surgery done on my eyes, but I was left feeling very comfortable and secure. The doctor knew what he was doing and the surgery went great. Recover went very smooth and I was helped through every step of the way, I was accommodated and my eyes were properly checked to ensure my eyes had recovered properly. Very good experience

The need to have ease from grief, travel fatigue, a broken wrist, and anxiety about upcoming surgery were all treated. After 2 sessions l walked away with far less emotional and physical stress. I came from Nova Scotia and randomly selected TLC as they were close by to my accommodations. What a blessing to have such compassionate, thorough care.
My past use of similar services in BC, NS, and Maine do not compare to the wealth of knowledge that was used to lessen multiple health issues. Time was taken to address all of my concerns. Teresa's expertise is notable and vast.
I could easily book via a telephone call. The Receptionist made it easy.
Maddy assisted Teresa and was a great support.
The environment was welcoming, clean, and comfortable.
Costs are extremely reasonable.
My rating is a 10+ out of 10 as l feel so much better and have just recommended TLC to family and friends. But anyone traveling through Toronto would benefit by having a refreshing pause in their schedule to be treated for stress from travel. An outstanding experience that l shall continue to use post surgery too. Bravo to the entire team who Teresa Lau professionally leads. I cannot thank you enough for your sincere devotion to helping me.

Tried cosmetic acupuncture for the first time and saw the effects right after! Teresa and her staff are great - answered questions and explained the process every step of the way.

Dr. Teresa Lau is so great! I went to see her for post partum after having my first one. And she’s very kind, insightful and really willing to spend time listening and explaining medical info and next steps. I’ve gone back several times during the flu season and now back for prenatal for my 2nd one. She’s been a great support and very reliable with her diagnosis and her medication were easy to work with and works really well. Highly recommend and will continue to see her.

Teresa is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. I was meticulous in searching for an experienced and compatible TCM practitioner and I am so so glad that I found her. I have been seeing Teresa for years from prenatal health issues, postpartum recovery to nerve pain and general ailments. She offers various modalities of treatments such as acupuncture, moxibustion, traditional Chinese herbal medicine/ supplements, and more. Her approach and philosophy of holistic healing is gentle yet effective. I highly recommend her services.

Teresa is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and most of all engaged with her patients. Her whole team are delightful and the space is calming and perfect for treatments. If you are looking for someone to work with who is deeply passionate about the care she provides and about how Traditional Chinese Medicine can help, look no further. I have had great success with her treatments and highly recommended her services for any health concern you may have.
