About Women's Health Clinic
We specialise in the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to treat a full range of women's health problems. The Women's Health Clinic is one of the few Traditional Chinese Medicine practices completely devoted to infertility and women's health care. The clinic founder Dr Zhang is qualified in both Western Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Her experience includes general Gynaecology and Obstetrics, with a major interest in infertility, pregnant care, post-natal care, menopause and gynaecological oncology, in which she has more than 27 years experience.\We Traditional Chinese Medicinestrongly believe that the best approach in our health care is one that takes into account the whole person, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of health. This multi-dimensional approach cannot be fulfilled by conventional medicine alone, and it often requires an integration of both conventional and complementary practices. Regardless of the treatment, the goal for any doctor is to restore the health of the patient. The achievements of conventional Western Medicine over the last few decades have been remarkable. However, there are some cases where conventional medicine has no positive answers, whereas complementary medicine offers different and often successful treatments. TCM includes an element of healing and support that conventional medicine lacks. Integration of TCM into conventional medicine often works in favor of the patient's health.
