Why Patients Near Aberdeen Centre Choose Artemis

Aberdeen Centre is the cultural and commercial hub for much of Richmond’s Chinese community. For patients shopping or eating at Aberdeen, having a multidisciplinary wellness clinic within easy walking or transit distance offers practical advantages:

Combined errands. Many patients book their appointment around an Aberdeen Centre visit — see your physiotherapist or RMT in the late morning, then have lunch at one of Aberdeen’s food court restaurants, and continue your day. One trip, one parking spot.

Mandarin and Cantonese spoken at the clinic. Owner and Registered Acupuncturist Mandy Tam (R.Ac) speaks both Mandarin and Cantonese fluently. For complex healthcare conversations — describing symptoms accurately, understanding treatment options, navigating ICBC paperwork — being able to communicate in your stronger language matters. Our Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine service page covers Mandy’s full scope of practice.

Trilingual website content — English, Simplified Chinese (中文健康资讯), and Punjabi (ਸਿਹਤ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ). Read about ICBC, RMT, acupuncture, and condition-specific guides in your preferred language before your visit.

Five disciplines under one roof. Artemis offers all five (RMT, Acupuncture and TCM, Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Kinesiology) coordinated by a single team sharing one chart per patient. See our coordinated 5-discipline care model explained for how this works in practice.

ICBC-approved with direct billing. If you have been in a motor vehicle collision, we are an ICBC-approved active rehab clinic and direct bill ICBC for all five disciplines under Enhanced Care. If part of a fee is not covered by ICBC (a user fee), we tell you before your treatment.
