As someone with chronic pain who has been on both sides of the table, I have a unique viewpoint on what patients need. I believe that both western medicine and acupuncture have their place in society; neither is "better" than the other. Instead, they work best when used together as part of an overall health plan. My goal is to make acupuncture an easy, sensible part of my patient's lives. I work hard to tailor treatments to each individual so that all of my patients are comfortable with their level of therapy.
