Since April I’ve been a patient of the Center and can’t say enough good things about Bob Doane, his wife Anne, and the incredibly fine, friendly, and efficient staff. Had I not received my medical pulse diagnosis and started on his course of treatment, my life would be very different. I’m on the path to good health and feel so much better. What an amazing ancient practice! I can see why their office is full of awards. Go—it will change your life.

I’ve been a patient of Robert Doane for 9 years. So very thankful to have him in our backyard so to speak. My husband would always ask me, do you need to keep seeing him? My response was, I don’t feel comfortable Not seeing him. Now my husband and my whole family are patients of Bob. During our appointments we’ve seen multiple acupuncturists and doctors come in and out from all over the world to shadow and learn from Robert Doane. I was told by one of the providers from Germany you are very fortunate to have him, he’s quite possibly the best in the world at pulse diagnosis. When meeting Bob he always gives a treatment plan and pricing so there is no shock as to what you’re getting into. Payment plans are also an option. It’s hard for me at this point in my treatment to understand how Robert Doane is offering treatment so affordable. In the beginning, there is that sticker price shock but after seeing and hearing all the amazing stories it’s beyond my understanding as to why this is as affordable as it is. Robert Doane is very straight forward and confident in his treatment and is always willing to work with doctors as well. When receiving my herbs I receive a list of each herb that’s in my formula. Transparency is important to our family. If you value your health and want honesty along with it, this is the place you want to be.

When I started here 6months ago I knew my health was very poor. I was way over weight and knew that my heart would be bad and I would have diabetes if I didn't do something soon. I needed medications daily for pain, swelling, acid reflux, restless legs, cramps in all of my muscles including around my heart. I was weak and got short of breath just trying to tie my shoe. In the last six months, I have lost 40lbs and still working, I am off all my medications and doing well, my pain level has gone from a 9/10 most everyday to a 0-1/10 daily. I do not have swelling, and my energy level has climbed back to when I was in my 30's. I am sleeping well and best of all, I am no longer putting chemicals in my body that don't belong there. The people who work here are kind and understanding and were never judgmental, just helpful and encouraging. Its worth every penny I have spent. If you are considering it, try it. Ive never regretted the decision to fully commit

I'm feeling so much better, thanks to Bob Doane and his associates. The team there is amazing. Bob is more of an herbalist, even though I have heard he will do some accupuncture, I've yet to have him do mine, he's usually on calls and with patients. The man is a genius, he's of an older generation, not really old to me being 51, but he reminds me of my grandfather who passed 14 years ago at 84, but he reminds me of my grandfather when he was in his 70's. He's got gentle hands, and he uses them to sense your pulse in both wrists, something NO western medicine folks do. If you have trauma, like broken bones or need anti-biotics for a flu, by all means, go see a traditional western doctor, but if you are looking to heal yourself from within, to be healthy long term, and get off all those pharmacuticals that western med pushes, you want to see Bob Doane. I'll say this about price, you get what you pay for. Accupuncture should not be cheap. If your insurance covers you for a once a month visit, then you will want to find another place maybe. But see them first, I don't know all the ins and outs of your insurance. It should be noticed, they practice indirect accupuncture, if you have a headache they might put a needle in the heal of your foot or for example my left knee was bothering me and so she put needles in my elbows. My first experience with Accupuncture 30 years ago was like this, I had them from head to toe, but mainly my shins because my issue was related to my liver and digestive track. I also learned from that Chinese Medicine doctor that I needed to eat red meat and had to stop being a vegetarian. Which was difficult for a moment as I had been practicing vegetarian for almost 5 years, but he was right and I got better. My issues today are autoimmune related and menopausal. My mother had Lupus and died very young because of it. I do not want to die young since I had my son at an older age, I need to live longer in order to see him grow up. I plan on taking herbs from AWC for the rest of my life! When I first started seeing Bob, the list of ailments was SO LONG... Redness in my face and arms, really bad acne on my face, unable to sleep through the night, constant cravings for sweets and high carb- high sugar foods... aches and pains and migraines treated with NSAIDS... along with nightsweats, feeling hot ALL the time or unable to warm myself at times... just body temps all over the place... bloating and swelling of my waste, fingers, joints etc... I have only been going for a few months now and I can honestly say I feel much improved, I'm able to exercise, I don't have the cravings for sweets at night, I sleep through the night, if I do get up to P, I fall right back to sleep! I have energy througout the day and although I still need to lose weight, I feel like it is finally possible! And my skin is clear and although I have some redness from broken capilaries, I am not constantly red... I mean, folks used to say I looked flush all the time, I don't need to wear cover up anymore on my face! I do not have the bloating I used to have either and I use the bathroom regularly... I still have some issues of course but one day at a time. OH! I almost forgot, Bob does push for an almost "Paleo" diet, meat and green veggies... if you're not trying to lose weight, then he will suggest it, but doesn't "PUSH" it... my husband increased his meat eating and changed a few things, but mostly still eats the same, as we have been a meat and potatoes family for quite some time. I do need to start being more strict with my diet, and will... Right now though I am just happy to be feeling a lot better and feeling hopeful for a healthier me.

Great experience, I will use AWC for my primary care. Place is very clean and professional, The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. They were ready for me at appointment time and spent one on one time explaining my medical condition and health challenges in plain easy to understand language. For those who need an alternative or an exit from the conventional western medical system, AWC is a confidence inspiring choice.

Coming from a western medicine point of view I was very skeptical at first. I decided to give it a try only because one of my friends is being treated at the clinic with (to me) incredible results. To see someone’s health turned around the way Bob and Ana were able to do it’s truly marvelous. Since I myself joined about a year ago, my health is also improving considerably and for this, I am very grateful. The staff is very friendly, professional and accommodating and I have no reservations recommending this clinic to my friends and family.

For any students or practitioners of Chinese medicine who are looking to learn a method that truly works and to avoid years of painstaking trial and error, look no further. I have had the sincere pleasure of shadowing the Doanes for the past year as their resident acupuncturist and it has been a real game changer and major confidence booster - It has been the mentorship experience I was always hoping for! Most students upon graduating get overwhelmed and lost in the weeds with diagnosis and treatment, but the approach at their wellness center is logical, scientifically based, highly effective, and founded on almost 30 years of clinical experience. I cannot speak highly enough of Bob and Anne Doane - they are exceptional teachers, highly knowledgeable and experienced practitioners, deeply compassionate healers, and wonderful family people. Every day I feel SO grateful to be a part of such an amazing practice at a clinic that really feels like “family.” No where else can a new practitioner see upwards of 25 patients a day - a volume that really lends itself to invaluable learning experience. I also have to mention that I’m a huge fan of the Doane’s teaching website - it’s a treasure trove of knowledge that Bob and Anne have amassed over several years that will really take your practice and skills to the next level. I also have a tremendous amount of respect for the structure, quality, and flow of their practice. Instead of operating as a “band-aid” clinic in which you may see a patient 1-3 times and never know if you actually helped, the Doane’s have created a system in which patients will experience a total or near complete resolution of major and chronic health issues over the course of a few months (typically around 4-6 months) a type of dedication, thoroughness, and follow-through that is unheard of in our medicine. Learning from and practicing with Bob and Anne was the best decision I have made for my budding career - these guys are the real deal!

I've been treated by Dr. Bob Doane off and on for over 25 years. The first few times I went in were for acupuncture because I had lifted something wrong and was unable to turn my head/neck. Within a single session I had 80% of my range back, and had 100% of my range back by the 2nd session. Where I think Bob really shines is with his deep knowledge of Chinese herbs, and with reading pulses. Years ago I went to him with a top MD's working diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disorder (Wegener's granulomatosis) and which the best Seattle pulmonary specialists were unable to help me with. I could not breathe without incredibly sharp lung pain, nor could I get a decently deep breath at all. My quality of life was severely impacted and I felt like I was dying. It was terrifying. Bob did some research and began mixing up herbs. The first batch did nothing. The second batch made all the symptoms worse! But I was desperate so we kept trying different mixes. Bear in mind that this is a rare disorder. On the third try, it was like an actual miracle: I could breathe deeply for the first time in several years, and my pain was completely gone. I cannot tell you how grateful and relieved I felt. But I do feel he saved my life. I can't imagine what might have happened if I had given up after the first or second round of herbs while we worked together to find the right mix. His work is both an art and a science. Over the years I went from having to take that mix of herbs three times a day to be able to breathe/stay pain free, down to twice a day, then once a day, then finally to once a week, then once every few weeks. Herbs have done for me what modern Western medicine could not. (Don't get me wrong, I also believe in Western medicine. They both have their strengths). Decades later, I see Dr. Bob periodically and have the formula updated and tweaked. I'm in great health, and feel strongly that Dr. Bob and his skill, knowledge, and persistence in finding the right herbs to treat my rare disorder have given me my life back. He cares deeply about his patients, and my life and health are a living testimonial to that.

Bob and his staff are wonderful! I had never done acupuncture before prior to my treatment here, mainly because I don’t like needles. The method Bob uses is basically painless. Highly recommend if you’ve never had acupuncture before and are hesitant like I was. As for the herbal medicine, I have been sleeping better, getting stronger, and my anxiety is going away since starting that part of the treatment. The amount of knowledge Bob has is incredible, and I am extremely thankful I found him and the clinic!

I had the pleasure of graduating from the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in China with honors. I went on to complete a PhD program at Hong Kong Baptist University in scientific research in Chinese Medicine. I have traveled throughout China for years researching luminaries in our medicine. I speak Mandarin and because of this I have been able to spend time with some of the most famous Chinese Doctors of Northern China at the time. I can say unequivocally that Bob Doane is one of the very best practitioners I have ever seen. His results are nothing short of miraculous and his methods are a beautiful blend of modern and ancient medicine. The DNA and MPD systems are incredible and are a must for those who want to produce significant clinical results with Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Bob saved my life, simply put. About a year ago I went to his acupuncture and wellness clinic in very poor health. I was so Ill I was actually in the process of having my will made out. Since my first visit I have lost over 70 lbs, my heart murmur is gone and the diagnosis of congestive heart failure is no longer on my records. Needless to say this is "The Best Care Ever Received" anywhere in my long life. I now have the energy I had in my thirties; I can now sleep after years of insomnia, and the painful areas around my body are gone or 90% less. In my 70's I am now back to working full time, building a vacation home and enjoying life. It is my guess that this clinic sees +/- 100 patients a day- they are very efficient. Anyone who gives this clinic a chance to work there magic, and go the distance, for at least 90 days will be very pleased with the life changing results. I am living proof.

This was a last resort since western medicine practices DO NOT work for me.

Okay, if your in need of not only feeling better but getting better. You have to make an appointment, for years I've been dealing with many issues, and they actually listen and can set you on the correct path. I'm no longer taking prescription pills or the spray for my allergies,which have subsided greatly. I was on the verge of diabetes and now am below the threshold. My weight has decreased from 260 to 226, and continuing to go down. My acid reflux is just about gone. I'm more alert, focused and able to stay awake through out the day. My high blood pressure is now back in a healthy range, so looking forward to stop taking those pills soon. Cholesterol is getting into a normal range again.

Been going to these guys for years. Kyleen is amazing. I first started coming for nausea issues back in 2015. They got me in the day after calling and were able to provide me with instant relief - my regular GP could not ID my problem and had already racked up $800 worth of tests and could not provide me with any relief. The nausea issue was completely resolved with the clinic after a few months. However during the treatment I was able to continure living my life. Which I was not able to before. Kyleens bedside manner is incredible. I feel like all my issues are addressed immediately and with great care. Bob can come across as rather brash, but he definitely knows his field.
