About Your Acupuncturist

About your Practitioner

Driven by a deep personal experience with the transformative power of acupuncture, I began my journey as a patient of a masterful practitioner of Japanese acupuncture in Brooklyn, NY. This experience ignited a passion for this ancient healing art, leading me to apprentice under his guidance. I gained invaluable hands-on experience in pulse diagnosis, meridian palpation, various needling techniques, and abdominal diagnosis.

During my formal education at New York College of Health Professions, I had the privilege of learning from leading experts in diverse fields, including Gynecology and Fertility, Orthopedic and Sports Injury, Classic Chinese Acupuncture, and Korean Acupuncture. This comprehensive training provided me with a strong foundation in various acupuncture approaches.

Since then, I have dedicated my career to helping others find relief through acupuncture. I have practiced in several multidisciplinary clinics, focusing on Physical Rehabilitation, Post-MVA Pain Management, and Complementary Medicine. I have successfully addressed a wide range of conditions, including Bell's Palsy, herniated/bulging discs, rotator cuff injuries, and knee and ankle injuries, among others.
