Benjamin D.

Business Owner

I received my BS in Nutrition and Food Science from UC Berkeley in 1986. After exposure to acupuncture while teaching English and studying Chinese in Taiwan, I studied and received my MS in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1991. Since then I’ve taken and produced numerous continuing education classes to further my growth and development with the medicine.

I’ve practiced in Berkeley and San Francisco and supervised clinic interns at the AIMC Berkeley Community Clinic, where I served as the academic dean for 7 years. I now practice in San Pablo and Lafayette, serving the communities of Moraga, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Walnut Creek, Alamo, Danville, Dublin, and Pleasanton.

I’ve been recognized and honored for my work in the field of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, including «Acupuncturist of the Year» by the American Association of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (AAAOM).
