General Info

Being a licensed acupunturists requires 2 - 4 years of college plus a 4 year program at an accredited oriental medical school. The training includes the different aspects of Oriental Medicine as well as classes in Western Medicine and medical sciences. Upon graduation most oriental medical schools grant the degree of Master of Science in Oriental Medicine. All licensed acupuncturist must then pass the California State Board Exam before being licensed. An acupuncturist is considered a primary heathcare provider and therefore can be seen without a referral from a M.D. I offer a free, no obligation, introductory consultation. The consultation can last up to 30 minutes. You will have the opportunity to meet me at my office to answer any questions you may have about acupuncture and discuss the different kinds of equipment and treatment modallities I might use to help someone with your simular health concerns.
