Meet Dr. Gang Shi
Dedicated to Your Health & Wellness Through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Committed to healing through time-tested wisdom and personalized care.
Dr. Gang Shi's journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine began over three decades ago, driven by a deep reverence for the profound healing wisdom of his ancestors. After earning his Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, he became board-certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), establishing himself as a trusted practitioner in the field.
With 32 years of clinical experience, Dr. Gang Shi has developed particular expertise in treating complex conditions including chronic pain management, anxiety and panic disorders, women's health issues, respiratory conditions, and immune system imbalances. His approach seamlessly weaves together multiple modalities—acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion, and Tuina massage—creating individualized treatment protocols that address not just symptoms, but the root energetic imbalances within each patient.
Dr. Gang Shi believes that true healing occurs when we work in harmony with the body's innate wisdom rather than against it. Fluent in both English and Chinese, he serves as a bridge between ancient Eastern healing traditions and modern wellness needs, guiding each patient toward optimal health through the gentle yet powerful principles of qi cultivation, meridian balance, and constitutional harmony.
The body holds infinite wisdom to heal itself when we simply provide the right conditions for balance to flourish.
