More about Paul

Paul treats men and women of all ages with a variety of complaints, and is one of only a few acupuncturists that regularly treats children, gently and effectively.  One of his own children was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at an early age, and this direct and daily experience gives Paul a unique understanding of managing this disease as both a parent and a clinician.

As an avid athlete, coach, and lover of the natural world, Paul has endured both sides of a variety of injuries. This experience combined with his extensive study of sports medicine, provides the foundation for a thorough and well-rounded approach in his treatment of sports injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. In addition to working with patients on relieving pain and correcting the functional imbalances, he also has the education and experience to monitor nutrition and training regimens.

Paul owns and maintains one of the largest private herbal pharmacies on the west coast, and he provides herbal-only consultations to his patients who wish not to have acupuncture.

Complementing his Chinese Medicine practice, Paul has studied western herbalism and Ayurveda.  This broad knowledge of herbal medicine expands his clinical success with his own patients. Acupuncturists and other health professionals often consult with him when they are faced with difficult cases.

In addition to his clinical practice, Paul is the president, founder and co-owner of  The Herban Pharmer, an online resource for unique and effective herbal solutions and information.
