Traditional Chinese Medicine, It Works!

Welcome, we are general medical practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM. TCM evolved from the ancient Chinese and is both an art and a science. It is important to understand that TCM is called "Traditional" because it is a complete medical system just like allopathic conventional medicine. Chinese medicine is called Traditional because it follows accepted medical methods and has proven explanations for it's effectiveness. Therefore TCM is a complete medical system based on natural and holistic principles for both diagnostic and treatment purposes.

At its core, it is based on a medical philosophy that views the body as an integrated whole of mind body and spirit. We understand that we must practice side by side our conventional Western medical colleagues to best serve the healthcare needs of our patients. The goal here is to successfully integrate our TCM with the customary conventional Western medicine that the majority of the people receive. To that end, our approach is to provide medical care that is either alternative, complementary or as an adjunct to conventional Western medicine. We believe that providing this kind of healthcare choice to our patients is the best of both worlds.

We will find innovative solutions to your health-care needs, we care and we listen. In additon to being in good standing with the medical community, our success record with patients has been exemplary over the years.

As primary healthcare providers you do not need a referral from your MD to be a patient of the Center and most insurances are accepted.

Reform Threatens Alternative Medicine

Although this article is over a year old and Obamacare has long since passed, we believe that this article is still relevent to the continuing saga of healthcare reform in the United States. In the coming months and depending on certain political outcomes in the next presidential election, Obamacare may once again be subject to changes and or complete nullification. We encourage you to read this article to help you better understand the ramifications that Obamacare poses to complementary and alternative medicine. Your health and pocketbook depends on a thorough understanding of this issue. Thank you, F. E. Robbins, L.Ac., MSTCM, CEO Center for Integrated Medicine.
