Dr. Tony Willcox is the only acupuncture doctor named to Newsmax Health’s Top 100 Physicians Who Embrace Integrative Medicine — listed alongside Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Mark Hyman, and Dr. Andrew Weil.
That recognition reflects a career few acupuncturists ever come close to — eight years on the NHL’s Florida Panthers medical team, five years with a UFC fight team, and a rare double doctorate earned across the U.S. and China. It shows in the range of therapies at Acupuncture Zen, rarely found under one roof anywhere in South Florida: Acupuncture, Dry Needling, K-Laser Therapy, NovoTHOR® Red Light Therapy, and Chinese Herbal Medicine.
Dr. Tony Willcox is the first Westerner to earn a PhD in Acupuncture from the Anhui University of Chinese Medicine in Hefei, China — a distinction unmatched in the university’s 60-year history. His doctoral training, completed under the mentorship of Professor Yang Jun, one of China’s most respected TCM physicians, culminated in a peer-reviewed clinical study on acupuncture’s effects on mild cognitive impairment, published with Florida Atlantic University neurologist James E. Galvin, MD.
