I am a firm believer in patient education. I want to educate patients so they can be active participants in their health care. My goal is to prevent health problems or address them early before they become serious, so that my patients stay healthy.
My practice includes medical acupuncture, a treatment modality that has been found useful in addressing many health concerns. By offering these services, I hope to provide a more complete array of treatment options for my patients.
Routine lab testing is done on-site, including blood-typing.
