Practice Profile:
I maintain my private practice at The Scarsdale Wellness Center in Scarsdale, New York. In my practice I treat a wide variety of ailments with acupunture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutritional and lifestyle counseling, and other related healing modalities, including moxabustion and cupping.
It is my goal to provide you wiht a safe, comforatable and positive therapeutic experience. I value an integrative approach toward healing. If the therapies I use can help your condition, a treatment course will be implemented. If not, I will refer you to other medical practitioners and therapists as your needs dictate.
I will offer recommendations that will support your treatments. Through patient education, you will have a better understanding of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
