I introduced acupuncture to Marin in 1972 and have a National Board Certification in addition to my medical degree. I have studied multiple acupuncture lineages including Eight Principles, Worsley Five Elements, Auriculotherapy (Ear acupuncture), and Ryodoraku, a technical form of Japanese acupuncture. My needle technique is exceptionally gentle yet effective, and I also use forms of needle-free acupuncture for people who are needle shy or needle sensitive. i work with adults of all ages, as well as children as young as infants.

I have been a physician since graduating from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1969. I practiced Emergency Medicine and had a general practice from 1970 to 1975 when I changed focus to acupuncture, mind/body medicine, and Integrative Medicine.

I do not currently offer primary care but always keep a close eye on your health as viewed through conventional medical eyes so as not to miss anything important, and am happy to work collaboratively with your primary care doctor.
