Dr. Xiong

Dr. Xiong, a nationally certified Acupuncturist and Doctor of Oriental Medicine by NCCAOM, brings over 20 years of expertise to Xiong’s Acupuncture. Her journey began with an academic foundation from the University of Science and Technology of China, where she conducted groundbreaking research in biophysics and quantitative biology. Her pursuit of knowledge led her to Rutgers University and the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey, where she earned a PhD in computational biology and structural genomics, contributing to cancer research and drug discovery.

Dr. Xiong’s passion for holistic health led her to Florida College of Integrative Medicine, where she obtained a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Combining her academic achievements with multiple years of apprenticeship training in classical Chinese medicine, Dr. Xiong possesses a deep understanding of the body and its interconnected systems. Her fluency in both Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese enhances her ability to communicate effectively with a diverse range of patients.

I was off my meds for an entire, you know, couple of days and it’s just amazing. The morning after my acupuncture appointment, I got more done before 91am than I usually accomplish in an entire day.”

I was very skeptical about acupuncture as my wife made me the appointment, but I was very desperate as my back pain was unbearable. Upon the first visit I was still very skeptical walking in but after leaving from just one visit my back pain was immediately different. Everyone around me noticed a difference in my attitude and energy level Just from being pain-free for the first time in months . I was able to work longer and harder at work and have told multiple people about the experience now. I am a firm believer the treatment and education she offers, and will be returning for multiple visits until I am whole again

Thank you for sharing your "gift" with me. You are so truly talented and blessed with such a special gift of health to give those you encounter. I had the best sleep and the most relaxed my body and mind has been in ages. (I suffer from anxiety and a high stress job. My body is always tense, my mind races and I can never relax.) I can't thank you enough. I accomplished more before 9 am than I do in one day sometimes! Meal prep - even baked salmon and veggies, dishes, dog walk, made hubby breakfast, coffee, and enjoying a walk outdoors!!! I have been on a mission to get healthier before my 50th birthday. I have lost 56 pounds but have been stuck at the same weight for a while. I am going through peri menopause and all it’s wonderful symptoms. I have anxiety and a super high stress job. I can never relax and didn’t sleep well. I get migraine headaches. I also have celiac which is an autoimmune disorder. So I took my laundry list to this holistic Dr and acupuncturist to see if she could help. The initial consultation and first acupuncture treatment was super reasonable and I had amazing results. Dr is helping me with my laundry list of health issues I listed above. She has a true gift. I have never felt better after just one treatment. I haven’t even hardly needed my anxiety meds I used to take 3x a day. Amazing!

No Joke, Dr. Ying Xiong was excellent!! I have been going to see Vinton Zwahlen (the best massage therapist you will find anywhere on the planet) weekly for several years. And he truly is amazing. He said Tony, for your many year issue with T5-T6, you should go see my neighbor Xiong to see if she can “clear it”. I took his advice as I always do. After the interview, she started her procedures before commencing the acupuncture point treatments. An hour later my 32 year issue was gone. Nagging pain I’ve experienced for decades left me in a state of peace and physical comfort I have not known for a very long time. A week has now gone by and I still feel fantastic. Sleeping better, emotionally calm, and able now to focus on a neck related issue. No more complaining. These 2 are the dynamic duo!!! At 60 I never believed I could ever feel this way again.

Dr Xiong is an exceptional doctor of acupuncture. I have been to many practitioners over the last 6 years for migraines and Dr Xiong is the only one to make a difference. She treats the root of the problem, rather than the symptom. She is truly amazing.
