Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my web site.
I am a licensed acupuncturist practicing in Frederick, Maryland.
Prior to studying acupuncture, I was a scientist at the National Cancer
Institute. With a doctorate in physiology and a masters degree in
acupuncture, I believe I bring a unique blend of Eastern and Western
perspectives on health to my practice.
Acupuncture is a powerful system of medicine. Practiced for over 3000
years, the benefit of acupuncture treatment is well documented in
western medical journals and it is widely used in medical institutions
across the United States. Because of the relatively low cost and
noninvasive nature, acupuncture has become a highly popular form of
complementary health care.
