Dr. Jim: Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science.

Functional Medicine and Acupuncture in San Diego

I started my practice because I saw too many patients falling through the cracks of the standard medical system. They had 'normal' labs but debilitating symptoms. Or they had chronic pain that medication was only masking, not fixing.

I realized that to truly help people heal, I needed more than just one viewpoint. That is why I practice a unique blend of Functional Medicine (to identify the biochemical root causes) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (to restore the body’s energetic balance).

My goal isn't just to manage your disease. It is to help you rediscover what it feels like to be truly healthy.
