One patient was recommended to Chris by a friend and was looking for a TCM practitioner who is also an herbalist in whole Chinese herbs and formulation. Chris stands out by committing to understanding the patient's current condition and formulating herbs specifically to what needs to be nourished. He goes beyond other practitioners in dietary suggestions specific to balancing the constitution, leaving the patient feeling more in harmony, educated, and centered in their being. Another patient found Chris during a frustrating time of experiencing chronic gout flares despite a healthy lifestyle. After the first 5 minutes of meeting Chris, the patient knew they were in the right place. Chris radiates warmth, empathy, kindness, and holistic knowledge. He believes in looking at the body as a whole, addressing the root cause, not just symptoms. Within the first appointment, Chris prescribed a unique Chinese Medicine formula specific to the patient, resulting in a positive impact on their body as a whole.
