ancient medicine for the modern era

The Clinic
Welcome to the Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine
I'm Dr. Yael Tusk, DACM. I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at the Graduate Program for Oriental Medicine in New York City, and received my Doctorate in Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science. I have been treating patients for over 15 years. I find TCM to be an inspiring and brilliant system of diagnostics and treatment, and I am constantly astounded by the effectiveness of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
I love empowering patients to understand their bodies and discover the gentle power of traditional holistic healthcare. In TCM, illness is not scary, but simply our body telling us it's out of balance and in need of correction. As a well-renowned Chinese Medicine Practitioner, I have been bridging the gap between Eastern medicine and the Western world while providing healthcare in a safe and nurturing atmosphere.
