Help on the
Way of Health
I’ve studied and practiced classical Chinese medicine for nearly 30 years. I been fortunate to have had some of the finest teachers in the field, and to have helped a great many people. I treat all kinds of people for a wide variety of conditions. I find myself and this medicine to be particularly good at injury healing/ pain relief, immune and digestive health, sleep and performance enhancement, and mental/ emotional support, including relief from depression and anxiety.
After over twenty years running a busy acupuncture practice in San Francisco, I was ready for a break. I spent a few years traveling, living on the big island of Hawaii, resting, healing myself, and deepening my cultivation practices of Daoist meditation, Qi Gong, and Tai Ji, which I have begun to teach. I’m thrilled to return to seeing patients in person.
This Los Angeles practice is located in our wonderful craftsman home on the east side. Patients enjoy the intimate setting, and experiencing the deep relaxation and nourishment that it helps provide

Client Reviews
Dean is wonderful. Healing hands, and a wonderful down to earth man. As a profession athlete, he has expertly extended my career. (for which I am eternally grateful) He gives a healing, informative session on how to keep your body healthy and energetically balanced, within your specific personal lifestyle. Love him to death.

I was referred to Dean by a dance teacher several years ago after severe ankle sprains. Not only is Dean knowledgeable about orthopedic injuries, but he's also compassionate and a great listener.
I've continued coming to Dean regularly since then and have found his techniques to be helpful for issues ranging from the simple cold to inflamed ankles. The office space is inviting and clean. Parking is easy during the day. I can't recommend him enough!

Dean is a very talented healer. His use of acupuncture and herbs have helped me out tremendously. Anytime I am feeling under the weather, Dean is the first person I go to to get better- quickly.
I refer many people to Dean, knowing that they will receive the best care.
