Meet Our Doctor
At Mercy Family Eastern Medical Center, our practitioner brings together over a decade of clinical experience with advanced doctoral training in integrative Eastern medicine. He holds a DAOM (Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) degree—an advanced credential that requires four additional years of education and clinical training beyond what is needed to become a licensed acupuncturist. This extended level of expertise enables him to provide deeply personalized and effective care for individuals managing chronic symptoms and seeking sustainable wellness solutions.
With a particular focus on age-related conditions—such as joint stiffness, lower back pain, neck discomfort, and poor sleep—our practitioner offers compassionate and results-driven treatment. While many of our patients are older adults, our care extends to anyone looking for natural, non-invasive approaches to managing persistent symptoms.
We take pride in serving the Santa Clarita community with a holistic mindset and a deep respect for both traditional healing principles and modern clinical standards. Our lead practitioner is known for his clear communication, strategic treatment planning, and thoughtful care for each patient’s unique condition.
Whether you're new to acupuncture or seeking a fresh perspective on long-term health management, we welcome you to experience the difference that highly trained, heart-centered care can make.
