Daniel Kao MD

"I've been treated at the practice of Dr. Kao and Dr. Ma for about four years. I originally came in with severe tendonitis -- tennis elbow and golfer's elbow -- and later shoulder pain from a ligament tear. Every issue was treated successfully. What makes this practice stand out is the range of treatments and the precision of their techniques. They combine targeted injections (lidocaine and steroid based), acupuncture, electrostimulation, massage therapy, and structured physical therapy. The injections in particular are extremely precise and effective. The training behind the practice shows -- Dr. Ma trained in Germany and worked with the physician for the German Olympic team. In my case, they resolved conditions that had become persistent and debilitating. Another aspect worth highlighting is the quality of the staff. The reception team is highly professional, competent, and multilingual, making communication easy and efficient. Scheduling appointments or adjusting existing ones is always handled smoothly, and the staff are consistently responsive, flexible, and accommodating. Their professionalism and organization make the entire experience at the practice seamless and stress-free. If you're dealing with chronic pain in New York City, this is one of the best practices I've found. Highly recommended."

"Dr. Kao is knowledgeable and helpful. He hears your concerns and provides immediate solutions. The acupuncture and acupressure offered is an added bonus. All staff are helpful and friendly."

"Dr. Daniel Kao is a very caring and patient doctor, very easy to talk to and listens patiently to your medical issues. I trust him and have confidence he will provide me the best treatment and medical care."
