Our Philosophy

We believe acupuncture is a simple, powerful medicine, and we love sharing our healing skill. We think of our patients as our family and we are passionate about that family. Looking around our treatment room, you’ll see a lot of different kinds of people…we want everyone to feel welcome. We believe health care should empower patients and that everyone deserves to be well.

Because of its affordability, community acupuncture allows us to treat many patients more often.
