Did you know that it is NOT possible to get a doctor's appointment in China? It's true. They don't exist.

You can, however, walk in, take a number, sit down and gossip with the other patients for a few minutes or a couple hours, and then see a doc.

See a doctor the same day you have a problem?? Wow, wouldn't that be a great service to have here in the USA?

Now it is! I run a Chinese medicine clinic that provides acupuncture and herbal medicine, both by appointment and on a drop in basis. It's...[more]

  I have known Michael since before he went to school for Chinese Medicine. He is one of the most dedicated practitioners that I know, and has pursued his education way beyond that of most of his peers.

  I have worked with him as a colleague, received treatments from him, and spent many hours discussing Asian Medicine theory and practice with him over the years.

  He is one of the most competent and caring practitioners that I know. I recommend him without reservation.

  Michael has saved my life...and probably the lives of those around me. I was in agony, misery, anguish, and in an all around bad place. Who knew that acupuncture would work? One session and I could move my neck, two sessions and I can move it even more. I AM IN LOVE!    [less]

  Visiting Michael's clinic is an experience one never tires of because of it's total authenticity. His diagnosis and prescribing of herbs has helped me dramatically with almost immediate results. NO drugs and only natural "old world" recipes. Michael serves such wonderful teas that it makes you feel like your symptoms are beginning to melt away. I am so grateful to have a combination of a very caring and sweet soul with an extremely knowledgeable practitioner.   [less]

• gett’in grammar

  Posted Tue, 01 Jul 2008 by Michael Max

  My first clue came in Taiwan when I was teaching English. I’d approach the grammar portion of the lesson with fear and trepidation. Give myself a glancing review of subordinate clauses, predicate adjectives and past perfect participles.  Relying as much on my students inability to understand English, as my own well honed skills in extemporaneous [...]

• Everyday Acupuncture- Wind

  Posted Fri, 06 Jun 2008 by Michael Max

  We all have had this experience. It may come suddenly as we step between downtown buildings, or as we push up over a mountain ridge, or as a blast that heralds a storm. Formless yet powerful, it hits not with a strength, but as a force. That gust which suddenly changes the directional lean of [...]

• How long does it take to get well?

  Posted Fri, 30 May 2008 by Michael Max

  Unless we have been involved in some accident, we don’t get to our current state of health overnight. It often a journey of years of slow accumulative action. Days slide into weeks, slide into months, then we wonder where the years went. Along with our agility, digestion, flexibility or mental clarity. It is a [...]
