EAST-WEST HEALTHCARE - About the Doctor

Xiao (Shiao) Wu, OMD

Graduated from the Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China, as a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine with Medicine Degree in 1984.
This Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine program includes six (6) years of formal training (5 years academic and 1-year postgraduate) in the practice of Chinese Herbology and Acupuncture.

After graduation, an invitation was accepted to join the staff of the largest and most prestigious Acupuncture Institute at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China.

The first six months (6) of association with the China Academy was spent on researching, analyzing and editing old traditional Chinese medicine texts as an Assistant Editor of the Ancient Books Publishing House, Beijing.

For more than six (6) years, Dr. Wu worked as a Clinic Physician at the Acupuncture Institute , and in addition to the standard practice of Acupuncture and Herbology, Dr. Wu became one of the selected few members of the Institute to have the responsibility to teach Traditional Chinese Medicine at the International Acupuncture Training Center for the World Health Organization (W.H.O.). The students (mostly "Western" Medical Doctors) came from all over the world.

Since arriving in the U.S. in 1990, Dr. Wu has practiced continuously. In 1990 Dr. Wu received her Florida Acupuncturist License. In 1996she achieved national certification in acupuncture and herbology and in 2000 (since the GA. Law was enacted) her Georgia Acupuncture License.

Despite her busy daily practice, she not only earned a Nutrition degree in 1995 as the class Valedictorian but continues to actively take part in the national and international TCM academic exchanges and conferences every year.

With her solid formal training and nearly 25 years post-graduate experience as a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine practicing Acupuncture and Herbology, Dr, Wu's rich expertise has drawn patients from different parts of the country and the world. She had appeared on CNN (1996), radios, local communities and magazines, such as the one on Atlanta Woman Magazine (Jan. 2004); her clinical applications have been directed toward a multitude of various conditions including pain control, visceral pathologies and substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, smoking and "weight").
