About Bup Lee
Having a background in Buddhism, Dr. Bup Lee was drawn to heal the mind and body through meditation and Oriental Medicine. After practicing Won Buddhism for over 10 years, he earned a Bachelor's degree from Wonkwang University and a Master's in Won Buddhist Studies from the Won Institute of Graduate Studies. He became an ordained Won Buddhist Minister in 2008.
He realized acupuncture and Oriental medicine bring balance to the whole person-body, mind, and spirit. He continued studying Oriental Medicine, earning a Master's in Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture from South Baylo University, Los Angeles, and a Ph.D. in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine with an emphasis on integrative Oriental medicine from American Liberty University.
While completing his graduate degree, he was inspired to complement his training with Mind and Body Healing Medicine, a science-based model treating underlying causes of chronic pain and stress-related problems through acupuncture.
Dr. Lee's patients seek his services for anxiety, stress, depression, pain, digestive issues, gynecological and fertility treatment, and sleep disorders. He has extensive training in Tui-Na (acupressure) and cupping. As an acupuncturist and wellness expert, he focuses on helping people restore balance and vibrant health. He wants everyone to lead a life of happiness, hope, and grace. If anxiety, stress, depression, or pain affect you, consider acupuncture-it might lead to better days and more restful nights, free from stress's destructive patterns.
He has practiced meditation for over 20 years and Tai Chi for 15 years. He offers Tai Chi Meditation Therapy to augment healing and provide tools to cultivate balance, beauty, and spiritual connection. Since teaching Tai Chi and meditation in 2005, he has been dedicated to sharing these practices to support holistic well-being.

Dr. Bup Lee is a most skilled practitioner of oriental medicine. He excels intreating his patients with the appropriate healing modalities for their problem as he performs acupuncture, massage, cupping electrical stimulation, or healing herbs and medicines.
I am 78 and riddled with arthritis. I have been seeing Dr. Bup for some years now and he keeps my aging mind and body in such good shape that I can teach seniors weekly classes that include qigong and tai chi. He is sensitive, kind and a cosummate professional!

Dr. Lee's treatment and careful attention to my situation gave me not only the right advice to improve my health, but also gifted me with the motivation to persevere a healthy lifestyle and start feeling better physically and mentally. I had a situation where I couldn't get a concrete diagnosis for my condition, which made it difficult for me to evaluate myself and figure out what I needed to do to fix it. Having gone through 2 years of various analyses, exams, and lab work, I found out about Dr. Lee's practice in a newspaper by chance. I am more than certain that Dr. Lee cares for each and every one of his clients, communicating and supporting them throughout their journey. For me personally, it was also an outlet to share my thoughts, worries, and learn to focus on my newfound priorities. I especially appreciate Dr. Lee having the patience to chat with me in Korean for me to practice! Thank you Dr. Lee and best wishes to your family and clinic!
