Clinical approach

Traditional reasoning, modern communication

David’s approach combines the pattern-based reasoning of East Asian medicine with attention to anatomy, function, safety, patient goals, and communication with other healthcare professionals.

Appointments are intended to be understandable and collaborative. Patients should know what is being recommended, why it is being recommended, and what changes would indicate that the plan should be adjusted.

Assessment firstCare begins with the individual, not a generic protocol.

Clear expectationsNo universal cures, guarantees, or inflated promises.

Healthcare coordinationAcupuncture can support, but should not obstruct, necessary medical care.

Practical planningTreatment frequency and goals should make sense for the patient.
