Health Professionals in San Francisco, CA

Being a Western medical doctor first and then also a Chinese medical doctor, I have practiced integrative Western and Chinese medicine for over 30 years in hospitals in China before coming to the US as a visiting professor at UCSF and a professor at Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College Berkeley and practicing in my private TCM practice. With over 50 years of extensive Western and Chinese medical experience, compassion, caring, and a holistic approach, I have successfully helped many patients with various health challenges including difficult cases that could not be helped with only Western medicine.

I offer an integrated approach to Chiropractic treatment, drawing from my diverse training and experience in several different healing art systems. After a careful and thorough history and examination of your physical body and other forces that come to bear, I assemble an individualized treatment plan for you. The treatment is dynamic, highly participatory and interactive, and is not only geared toward solving the acute problem you've brought in the door, but also to identifying and working with your underlying functional patterns. The work is empowering, and often produces excellent results where previous treatments have failed.

I practiced with my father for 5 years before he retired, and I learned from him what really works to get people well. He started practice in 1959 and had a wealth of experience that I learned from. I incoporated that into the latest techniques that I learned at Life Chiropractic College West, an excellent technical school, to get a very well rounded technical expertise.

I am a practitioner of traditional Japanese acupuncture and have studied extensively with master acupuncturist Koji Ichihashi of the Kurumadani School of Japan. Japanese acupuncture technique involves shallow insertion of very thin, delicate needles into points along the Meridians of the body. It is a relaxing spa-like treatment that is gentle and essentially pain free. This style incorporates medical Shiatsu massage while the needles are in the body. I give my patients self-care education, Qigong (energy movement), nutritional counseling and suggest Chinese herbal therapies and/or supplements in a nurturing environment.

Oliver's journey into healing arts began in 1982. As a practitioner of acupuncture and Chinese medicine who specializes in Traumatology (Ditda-Shangke), he received extensive apprenticeship training in the States, Hong Kong, and Beijing under several reputable first-generation physicians, esoteric healers of Eastern medicine, and venerable masters of traditional martial arts since childhood. Oliver also served as a clinical intern and mentored at various facilities including American Institute of Acupuncture Orthopedics & Traumatology, California Pacific Medical Center, and Yueyang Hospital of Integrative Medicine in Shanghai, China.

I work with motivated and curious individuals looking to dive deep and investigate the root causes of digestive issues, acne and other skin problems, poor sleep, adrenal/sex/circadian hormone imbalances and blood sugar dysfunction. Healthy, gradual and sustainable improvements are prioritized over quick-fixes. My overarching goal is not only to find the root cause of imbalance, but to optimize your long term health by harboring intuition around nutrition and lifestyle practices so that you feel empowered and in control of your body, health and wellbeing.

Over the years, I developed a protocol for painlessly breaking unhealthy habits-eating too much sugar, late night eating, endless snacking, body bashing-with healthy habits, like craving vegetables, making better food choices, and honoring, respecting, and loving your body. I regard both nutrition and emotional health as the core of healthcare and focuses on nutritional and botanical interventions to support chronic, degenerative and auto-immune diseases, patients with cancer, energy and brain health challenges, food intolerances, chronic infections, as well as general disease risk prevention and optimal wellness.
