I practice a unique style of acupuncture called The Balance Method ^TM.  For patients with pain, I expect to reduce the level of pain dramatically during your first treatment. One of the benefits of The Balance Method is fast symptom relief early on using fewer acupuncture needles than other methods in use today.  Results are long lasting. *

I have dedicated my professional life to eliminating the afflictions affecting my patients.  I am a tenacious practitioner and do not give up on difficult cases. Because I see only one patient at a time, I give you my complete focus during your treatment.   If you are responding slowly I will research and use different approaches so that I ensure you become well again.  

I have a high clinical success rate.  I see much better results in clinic than what studies report.  Your health and recovery is my first priority.  I go the extra mile to ensure that your condition is resolved.

If you have questions about Chinese medicine review the pages where I explain how it works, what conditions it treats. I have included many press articles, studies and videos endorsing acupuncture treatment on the Resources page.  The FAQ’s page includes questions people don’t ask but should.

To briefly discuss specifics of your condition and whether you are a candidate for acupuncture, I offer a 15 minute phone consultation at no charge to you.  For an in-depth conversation schedule an initial consultation ** to learn how we can work together to achieve lasting results in improving your health.

*Chinese medicine involves a series of treatments. 

**During the initial consultation I perform a comprehensive health evaluation and will explain to you the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) diagnosis, treatment plan: including acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapy, lifestyle & nutritional counseling, and what time period is necessary for you to become well again.
