How am I unique?

I am grateful that I have had such wide and deep experience in the practice of East Asian medicine. I have studied with true masters from around the world. I have received advanced training and certification in highly-applicable medical traditions, and have continued my training for over 20 years now. I have worked with some very difficult cases, in lots of different clinical settings. My unique blend of learning, experience, comfort with technology, and self-cultivation blend to provide you, the patient, with an outstanding treatment experience every time.

Getting Patients Well

Using a slate of highly effective Integrative medicine tools, including:

Neuro-Acupuncture

A powerful, non-invasive, and non-pharmacologic treatment for neurological disorders, neuro-psychiatric conditions, and stroke rehabilitation

Daoyin

Which may include Medical Qigong, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), corrective exercise techniques from physiotherapy and occupational therapy, and other means needed to accelerate results and help patients achieve their goals

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is ancient and safe*, and will be deployed alongside lifestyle and dietary recommendations

*The use of drugs in certain cases may preclude the patient from participating in the use of an herbal medication regimen

What My Patients and Colleagues Are Saying

Don’t just take it from me, let my patients and colleagues do the talking!

Scott is a highly effective accupuncturist and is able to create innovative treatment plans to benefit his patients. He is very passionate about his field and goes above and beyond in terms of ensuring that his patients are comfortable and have access to all the resources needed to heal – both during and after treatment related visits. He is a true patient advocate and I cannot recommend him highly enough! “

In the few years that I have known Scott I can say without a doubt that he has a deep commitment to the study of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. My mother and I have both been patients of his and his manner is very thorough and calming, which in this field is very important (I mean, come on, you’re about to have needles stuck in you). The fact that he takes what he does seriously and constantly strives to learn all he can to make sure his patients get the best treatment and results shows that he truly cares about what he does.

I have the good fortune of being a student of Scott’s while he supervised our clinic rounds and now working alongside him at Dr. Zhu’s neuro-clinic. He’s truly one of a kind in his dedication to learn extensive treatment modalities, practice qiqong at a master level and maintain the artful soul of a musician. A lifelong student as he calls himself, Scott’s a supportive teacher and the best type of doctor one can have.
