FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, I do quite a bit of continuing education and I enjoy doing it. Continuing education is one of the great things about my job. Before I got into Acupuncture profession, I wanted to do something that I wouldn't get bored with and that I could always get better at. There is so much to learn about in the field of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine that there is always room for growth. In addition to the growth potential as a person and practitioner, doing continuing education classes help to get re-energized and refocused about what and why I'm in the clinic doing my thing.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Look for someone who is well educated in the field of Acupuncture. Eastern and Western medicine have very different ways of looking at health, disease, injuries, diagnosis and treatment. Look for "L.Ac." after the person's name. This mean's "Licensed Acupuncturist" which means they have thousands of hours of training specifically in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and not just a couple of hundred hours like many MD's and other professions do
