Your view on a new Chinese clinic website? (Been removed twice)

Options
(My post's been removed twice, and hope it is ok this time after I changed it. I don't know why they saw it's an Ad, instead of waiting reply for days, I post it here)

I am working on a web site for a traditional chinese medicine clinic. His services is quite common: acupuncture, herbs and massage. I have to decide on photos and wordings to present his services the best, and drive the traffic.

Please help me for the following:
1. When you are looking for a chinese doctor, what information is the most important fact for you to make a decision. "his reputation & background", "his knowledge showed on TCM", "more people recommended", "location", "price".

2. What is your main concern if you take chinese medicine or treatment? Safety, efficiency, price or something else?

3. when you are viewing the site, which page would you see the most? "my services", "reviews", "about me" or "price".


Thanks for reading and any inputs welcome.
I am web designer and love coding, ok sort of.

    I have no idea what I'd look for if I wanted a Chinese doctor, however as a general rule I expect a site to be free of spelling mistakes, with good grammar and correct punctuation. If it's sloppy, it doesn't fill me with confidence.

    I wouldn't go to the internet.
    Reason for edit? Can spell, can't type!

    That they are a member of the GMC, not bothered about ethnic background.

    If you have been asked to the build the website then the person you should be speaking to is your client - they will tell you what they want on their website. Why not do some research and look at other websites that sell chinese medicines to see what they have done - that way you will get a clearer idea of what works?

    Personally I would never use chinese medicine or buy any medication off the internet because as I said previously a large majority of it is unsafe and unlicensed.

    thanks for all replies.
    Particularly, "1. Reviews by others before i even visit the site" by bengalknights, opened my mind to promote a website.

    Sadly, I have to put the website on hold now. However, may I ask bengalknights what others mean in your comment, friends, colleagues, online friends, online communities or..?

    Thanks again.
