Dr. Michael Tong, DAcCHM, LAc

Dr. Michael Tong, DAcCHM, LAc is a third-generation Chinese medicine practitioner who blends traditional wisdom with a modern, mindful approach to care. He earned his Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science after earlier studies in physics and psychology. His path to acupuncture emerged during the social upheaval of the pandemic era, when he began asking how healing work and identity could play a role in meaningful social change.

Known for his gentle needling style and calming presence, Michael creates a spacious and grounded treatment environment. His work often focuses on mental and emotional wellbeing, drawing from meditation and relational practices to support patients experiencing stress, anxiety, and other psycho-emotional concerns while helping them reconnect with balance in both body and mind.
