CHC at a Glance
Full-spectrum TCM Clinic
Comprehensive TCM services include acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and custom-formulated Chinese herbs tailored to individual conditions. This integrated approach allows practitioners to select and combine modalities based on each patient's specific needs.
Integrated Care Model—TCM with Modern Diagnostic Calibration
We integrate TCM with modern laboratory testing to efficiently calibrate treatment approaches. Objective biomarkers inform our clinical direction and allow us to adjust treatment where appropriate. This data-informed approach accelerates treatment efficacy while remaining grounded in TCM principles.
Comfort in Complexity
We have decades of experience treating complex cases where patients have exhausted conventional approaches or are experiencing multiple overlapping conditions. Our comfort with difficult cases stems from deep clinical experience and our ability to integrate multiple diagnostic tools to identify root causes.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine consultations for initial assessments, interim check-ins between appointments, and patients seeking convenient access to our services. Virtual visits enable preliminary diagnostics, patient progress reviews, and protocol adjustments without requiring in-person attendance (when appropriate). This flexibility expands access while preserving the clinical depth needed for effective treatment planning and follow-up care. [View Patient Form]
