90 Minute session
For near three decades I’ve studied and practiced traditional Chinese medicine with some of the most profound teachers in the field. I’ve spent my career employing these disciplines, teachings and treatments in helping others. It’s an honor and a privilege.
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, and healing myself from years of urban hustle.
I’ve settled down again and am thrilled to be back to seeing patients. My Los Angeles practice is 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.
At each visit I provide my undivided attention. We’ll talk, and do a combination of acupuncture, bodywork, dry-needling, cupping, and other techniques to facilitate your body’s natural ability to heal and be pain-free.
I’d be happy to hear from you to discuss what’s happening in your life and if I think I can help.
TESTIMONIALS
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.

I cannot say enough good things about Dean. I had never gone for acupuncture before and was a little apprehensive but I am a big believer now. Dean definitely knows what he is doing. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I am a firm believer in the power of acupuncture. If you haven't tried it you should and I recommend going to Dean!”

This review is long over due. 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!

I came to Dean with ulnar nerve damage, unable to type (and therefore to work). I'd been to doctors, acupuncturists, bodyworkers, and chiropractors, but was still unable to use a computer for more than 10 minutes without my fingers going numb. I came to him 2x week at first, and within 2 weeks I was able to work again, and it hasn't returned.
As side effects of the treatments, my digestive system normalized (2 years after a trip to India), my PMS went away, and a few months later I got pregnant, had a super healthy pregnancy and a big healthy baby, and he was a huge help in my post-birth healing and has even worked on my little son a few times!

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.
