" You Can Also Take Your First Step Into the

Larger World of Acupuncture. I Did. "

Read My Bio . . .

As a physician, I am often considered THE resource for healthcare knowledge and advice. I am embarrassed to say how little I knew about other forms of complementary medicine. Like many of my colleagues, I knew only what I was trained to do in medical school. My life changed many years ago, when I went to an Acupuncturist for the first time. I was suffering from shortness of breath during mild exercise, and, like many patients, I went to the typical healthcare process of seeing specialists, and getting tests. Nothing wrong could be found. Since I was out of options, I decided to try Acupuncture. It worked.

I was fascinated and stunned. How could I be considered an expert in the field of health care, when I knew so little about other forms of therapy? It was then I decided to dedicate a part of my career to the study and practice of Acupuncture. I wanted my patients to have the opportunity that I did not - referral and advice on alternative therapies when traditional therapies fall short of helping.

I now see how valuable Acupuncture is; patients are recognizing it, and are asking their healthcare professionals for it. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is one of the fastest growing professions in the Healthcare industry. There is a reason for that. I believe that as more people come to have experience with Acupuncture, and see that it provides them with relief without side effects, it will become a mainstream medical therapy in the next 10 years. I encourage you to let Acupuncture help you.
