Mission
The doctor patient relationship is one of the most important ones we have. I believe in being present when I am with my patients. I will give you 100% of my attention because to really understand your condition, I need to listen to you and your body and the only way to do that is to give you all of my attention.
Our Story
The bamboo tree grows unlike any other tree in the world. Most trees sprout after the first year. With a bamboo tree, you have to fertilize, water and care for it everyday for 5 years. Within these 5 years, nothing grows. There is nothing to show for all your efforts. Most people might give up after the first year thinking that the seed was defective.
Services
I have several services along with offering Acupuncture. I offer Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Cupping, Gua Sha, Electrical Stimulation with acupuncture needles, Moxibustion, and Diet and Nutrition Counseling.
