Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting hair-thin needles at specific points to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This FDA-recognized treatment effectively addresses chronic pain, migraines, and neurological disorders by promoting blood circulation and releasing endorphins. Patients often experience significant symptom reduction within initial sessions.
Allergy Elimination
Our allergy elimination protocol combines NAET therapy with acupuncture to desensitize the body's immune response. This drug-free approach successfully treats environmental and food allergies by reprogramming the nervous system's reaction to allergens through meridian stimulation.
Infertility Treatment
We offer specialized acupuncture and herbal protocols to enhance fertility by regulating hormonal balance and improving reproductive system function. This complementary approach works alongside IVF treatments to increase success rates while reducing stress and medication side effects.
Pain Management
Our comprehensive pain management system integrates acupuncture, cupping, and electro-stimulation therapies. This multi-modal approach effectively treats chronic conditions like arthritis, sciatica, and post-surgical pain by reducing inflammation and releasing natural painkillers in the body.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments using time-tested plant-based remedies. These pharmaceutical-grade preparations address specific health concerns with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs, supporting long-term wellness through natural biochemical pathways.

I was struggling with digestion and feeling pretty helpless when I first went to Dr. He. I was not able to eat most foods and not recovering from a recent surgery. Dr. He helped me figure out additional procedures were needed. After the procedures were completed, I returned to Dr. He. I am finally digesting food well and we continue to help my body heal. She took my scar from a tight, painful mess to fading in a few treatments.
She is amazingly skilled and I am often amazed at how she hones in on the exact problem to be able to impact healing. She is absolutely the best at what she does. My life is so much better for combining traditional and alternative medicine.

I had severe back pain, and had been seeing a pain management spine doctor for months with no results (except prescribing pain meds). The spine Dr. said my only option was surgery if I didn't want to take pain meds any more. I went to Dr. He because she was highly recommended by a friend. Within 2 weeks my pain was gone! If I feel my pain may be returning, I go to Dr. He again for a few sessions, and no pain. Currently, I am seeing Dr.
He because I just learned that a medication I was taking for inflammation was damaging my kidneys. Dr. He is treating me for the inflammation now that I have gone off of the medication. I highly recommend Dr. He for acupuncture. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I have referred Dr. He to family members that have also had great results.

Dr. He is an absolute miracle worker. I no longer have daily excruciating sciatic pain. My fibromyalgia is under control and i don't always have to walk with a cane. Her intuitiveness is amazing when she knows exactly the right spot. Very highly recommended.

My friend and I have been going to Dr. He for over 20 years. She has helped us individually through a variety of health issues and we are extremely grateful to have her in our lives. Dr. He is the most knowledgeable Dr. we know. With her expertise, we have been able to use herbs and natural healing methods. Recently, my friend Donna had excruciating attacks of pain in her eye, face and neck that occurred every 6 - 8 hours.
Two eye doctors did not correctly diagnose the problem. Dr. He listened to Donna and was able to figure out the problem and treat her for Trigeminal Neuralgia. After suffering from excruciating pain, Donna improved greatly under Dr. He's care. Now the pain is gone and she is well again. We are both forever grateful and honored to know Dr. He.
