Still Having Fun
“No Matter how long you live the first half of your life is always the longest.”
It is difficult to imagine having practiced for over 36 years. However, time flies when you are having fun. It has been fun!
With gratitude I can still say that I have never had a day in practice that I have not been happy, amazed at what acupuncture and our bodies can do, and grateful to be part of the process. I hope it has been evident to all of my patients.
“Experience sets a practice apart.”
Working with hospitals, physicians and other healthcare providers, conducting research and teaching has been a continuing catalyst to modify the way I practice. I stay current in my profession bringing the latest advances, state-of-the-art equipment and means to ensure patient safety into my practice. I also have been working to bring a level of collaborative care into my practice.
Looking Forward
“If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading” Lao Tzu

Focusing on the promotion of health along with the management and prevention of disease will benefit all of us.

C.A. - Spartanburg, S.C.
My Spinal Osteoarthritis has been helped considerably since acupuncture treatments. My hip pain has gone from 12½ to ½ on a 1 to 10 scale. Someday I will be completely pain free. I should have started acupuncture treatments sooner.
D.S. - Columbia, S.C.
How did you do that? I hardly felt a thing during the treatment and now I hardly feel my pain. This is only the third treatment and it is better than it has been in four years.
