We use an holistic approach to healing, combining the best of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, diet and qigong to help patients become and stay healthy. We practice preventive medicine and strongly believe in the old Chinese saying that "the best physician is not the one who treats patients when they become ill, but the one who keeps patients from getting sick in the first place." We use not only traditional methods to diagnose the root causes of a patient's problem, but also the lastest tools in computerized testing and analysis.

We identify the root cause of your condition while treating your symptoms. You can relieve stress and get back on the road to a healthy, balanced body and mind using the time-tested techniques of Oriental Medicine. This approach supports your body's innate ability to restore its natural state of wellness. Dr. Choe has been a skilled acupuncturist for over 40 years.
