Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles inserted at specific points to stimulate energy flow and trigger the body's natural healing response. This ancient technique helps restore physical balance and alleviate chronic pain. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans developed through comprehensive TCM diagnostics.
Tuina Therapy
Tuina applies therapeutic massage techniques to manipulate energy channels and musculoskeletal structures. This hands-on approach addresses both acute injuries and chronic conditions through targeted pressure and manipulation. Patients receive customized sessions that integrate with other TCM treatments for enhanced effectiveness.
Herbal Medicine
Custom-blended herbal formulas address specific imbalances while considering individual patient needs. Our products combine traditional ingredients with modern formulations for improved taste and effectiveness. Patients experience sustained improvements through consistent adherence to prescribed herbal regimens.
TCM Consultation
Comprehensive diagnostic sessions evaluate patients' complete health profiles using TCM principles. Practitioners assess energy imbalances through pulse diagnosis, tongue examination, and detailed health history. Treatment plans integrate multiple therapeutic approaches for optimal wellness outcomes.

Great Place! Dr. June she is awesome; I highly recommend using her services. I was suffering from joint pain until I was introduced to acupuncture and since then it's been life changing.

I used to take your supplements, I bought them at my chiropractor. I have moved and tried to order through your website and cannot. Everytime I click online store or products I get an error? So I tried to call and got hung up on.so I guess I'll find other products instead of buying anything from your company

Dr Guo spent just 10 minutes talking with me in his office (paid $85 for that), for my chronic respiratory/digestive issue. He seemed to understand what was going on with me, but told me to take 5 of his herbal formulas that, when I reached the reception area to pay, found out were $489 for a 2 week course. I just left feeling very discouraged.

I believe there's a place for both traditional and Western medicine's, after all. the Chinese have been practicing medicine for over 5000 years! I have been visiting Dr. Guo as needed for the past 8 to 10 years for reoccurring eczema with consistently positive results. The staff is reserved but friendly and very accommodating. Dr. Guo is a very talented individual who has been practicing the art and science of TCM for many many years and may be one of the leading authorities in the nation.
