What Patients Are Saying
Based on 87 Google reviews
Dr. Shao is absolutely amazing! She’s very professional and incredibly patient — she always takes the time to listen carefully and adjust the acupuncture treatment according to my condition. My symptoms have improved a lot since seeing her, and I feel so much more relaxed overall. The clinic is clean, calm, and comfortable, which makes every visit a really pleasant experience. Highly recommend Dr. Shao to anyone looking for effective and caring traditional Chinese medicine treatment!
I am very grateful for Dr. Wenyu Liu’s help with my breast hyperplasia. After three acupuncture treatments, I experienced a heavy menstrual flow immediately following the third session, and all the tenderness and burning sensation in my breasts completely disappeared, which was a huge relief. In addition, at my request, Dr. Wenyu Liu also treated me for improving my skin tone through acupuncture. After one month of combined acupuncture and herbal treatment, the results were very noticeable—my complexion looks healthier and more radiant. A colleague even told me today that I looked stunning.
I highly recommend Dr. Shuai Shao (Bella). I arrived at my first session in a lot of pain, and by the end of that session the pain was gone. I continued my treatments to prevent the pain from returning, and with each session I feel better and better. Dr. Bella is very professional, caring, and knowledgeable. The clinic is calm, clean, and welcoming. I’m very happy with the results and will definitely continue my sessions.
I had an amazing experience at this clinic! Shuai Shai helped me with my insomnia, and surprisingly, I felt the improvement from the very first session. The doctor also prescribed medications and they are really effective—they relax me and help me sleep deeply. I’m so grateful for their help and highly recommend this clinic! Honestly, recommend it👍🏻
I had a great experience at this clinic with Dr Bella The acupuncture session with Dr Bella helped my with the cough, that been bothering me for quite some time. She’s patient with the process and provided dedicated care plan for me. Would’ve recommended here for anyone after TCM

QHow much does a session cost at Yu Cao Tang Acupuncture & Remedial Massage City Branch(御草堂City店）?
Fees are not listed here, so it is worth asking when you book. Across fifteen Australian clinics that publish their prices, an initial consultation runs $100 to $190, with most sitting between $105 and $145. Follow-up sessions run $50 to $130, most commonly $80 to $120.
The first appointment costs more almost everywhere, typically $20 to $40 more, because it includes a case history alongside the treatment and usually runs longer. Roughly a quarter of clinics will not quote you a full price list online.
Three things worth asking on the same call: whether herbs or cupping are charged separately — they usually are — whether the clinic offers on-the-spot health fund claiming, and what the cancellation policy is, because some charge a full session fee inside 24 hours.

QCan I claim a session at Yu Cao Tang Acupuncture & Remedial Massage City Branch(御草堂City店） on Medicare or private health?
Private health, usually yes. Acupuncture sits under natural therapies on most extras policies, generally pooled with remedial massage under one shared annual limit. As an example of the shape, HCF's Top Extras pays $40 a visit with an annual limit rising from $300 to $500 by year three, and nib's Top Extras pays 75% back against a $400 combined limit. Waiting periods of two months are standard. Recognition is fund-by-fund, so check that this practitioner is recognised by your fund before booking.
Medicare, only if your practitioner is a doctor. The four MBS acupuncture items all require a medical practitioner. A registered acupuncturist who is not also a doctor cannot bill them, and no other item covers their services. Acupuncture is also not on the eligible list for a GP Chronic Condition Management plan.
