Ted’s pragmatic approach to patient care has been the foundation of his practice in Chinese Medicine. He commonly employs acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other modalities like massage and cupping to maximize the therapeutic effect of his treatments. It is his compassion for his patients and listening skills, however, which really distinguish him as a healer. He believes strongly in the fundamentals of Chinese Medicine and is constantly seeking to improve his skills through advanced training and study in acupuncture and herbal medicine.

One of Ted’s main goals in his practice of Chinese Medicine is education. On a daily basis he explains how acupuncture works to his patients and is constantly talking with M.D.s about how to integrate Eastern and Western Medicine. Ted received his Masters Degree Chinese Medicine from The American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco and he is currently pursuing his National Board Specialty in Acupuncture Orthopedics.

Ted believes strongly in the body’s ability to heal itself and views Chinese Medicine as a catalyst to return the body to health. No one should be dependent on medicine to feel well. Rather they should employ all the resources at their disposal to maximize their health and limit intervention from Western or Eastern medical practitioners. His goal is to get people well as soon as possible and return them to their daily activities, healthy, energized, and pain-free.
