I would like to thank all my referring patients and non-patients who believe in me and my work over the past 30 years. I am deeply touched. I thank you from my heart for your trust in my ability to help others. DrPendleberry.com was created to help my patients and others understand Chinese Medicine and my own thoughts about health and disease.

Active & Preventive Medicine is when both the Doctor and Patient Actively participate in the treatment process. In most cases, the Doctor will have the most influence in the treatment process because of his knowledge of the condition and his skill in performing the procedures needed.

Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well. Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being.
According to Chinese medical theory, the symptoms and signs that indicate a Western diagnosis of allergies relate to imbalances in the meridian and Organ Systems of the body. These imbalances may stem from a variety of causes, including stress, poor diet, constitutional weakness, pollutants and environmental toxins.

Dr. Pendleberry is.. priceless. He saved me from the clutches of Western Medicine and an unknown amount of prescription medications multiple times over the last 15 years. He patient intake is how you would expect your healthcare to be handled - through, looking at everything holistically. Highly recommend!

Dr Pendleberry is a brilliant healer. He helped me to completely dissolve an 8cm ovarian cyst without any surgery. I trust him with my life

Super sweet acupuncturist and, as my girlfriend says, her personal woowoo doctor. Dr Pendleberry is kind, gentle and funny. He has had his own challenges with his spine and is deeply considerate and thoughtful. His perspective on what is going on with the body is valuable and insightful.

Dr. Pendleberry is quite the gem. He is extremely knowledgeable in the different modalities of health. A true healer. I send all my patients to him to get healing that a western medicine doctor can't exactly provide. The ways he diagnosis the body is beyond the limited scope that a general physician can see. He has healed so many of my patients and I'm very grateful for his help and knowledge. The best!!

Dr. Pendleberry is fantastic. He's kind, compassionate, extremely knowledgeable. He's a bit of a miracle worker! I've seen him for little things and big things, I have no qualms about bringing my children to see him either.

I've known and seen Dr Pendleberry for nearly 20 years. I'm 41 years old and very healthy thanks to his support and guidance. He is a rare and kind soul. Like no other healing practitioner I have known. I do not trust any other doctor when it comes to my health. I feel it is an honor and privilege to have known Dr P for so long!

I have been going to Bruce since he started his practice about 25 years ago. So I have watched his skills progress.

I don't get sick often, but when I do--it's usually some respiratory infection--I go to him once and he custom mixes Chinese herbs, which show results in a few days. I normally don't have to go again until the next illness.

I have been seeing Bruce for about 15 years. He is very caring, and the herbs he uses work well with your body. He has a very caring demeanor, and his prices are reasonable. I came Tues for a particular issue, and felt very rushed. Usually he always ave me a full hour and I only got 30 mins with him. This is why I am only giving 4 stars. He also does acupuncture, works great for pms. If you take vitamins or herbs an want to know if they work for you, bring them on your appointment, and he can test them for you. Parking is easy to find, and entrance is in the back.

Dr. Pendleberry has changed my life. I started going to him about 14 years ago when I had rheumatoid arthritis. The doctors just kept trying different dangerous medications including steroid treatments. They told me I would not be able to have children and would probably be crippled and in a wheelchair by the time I was 30 years old. Once I found Dr. Pendleberry my life changed. He was able to get me off of all my medications and out of pain. After that I was able to have two more children and live a normal life. I have since seen him for digestive issues which he was a tremendous help. I have

Dr Pendleberry is amazing. I have been dealing with lupus and hyper thyroid and not being able to tolerate the medications being prescribed to me. Dr Pendleberry gave me a natural herbal supplement that allows me to tolerate the meds without the previous side effects and it's been life changing. I am back to my normal self and am able to be active without being in pain on a daily basis. Dr Pendleberry is an absolute necessity for people not able to tolerate meds and wants to treat their pain with natural supplements.

Dr. Pendleberry originally treated my 9 (now 12) year old son for chronic sinus infections. When the doctors told me that sinus surgery was his only option , I turned to Dr. P. My son was taking antibiotics just about every month and nothing was working. Dr. P treated my son with herbs and supplements and my son has not been on antibiotics since. He has only had a sinus infection twice and both he recovered from without prescription medication. My entire family sees Dr. P now for any ailment we encounter. We are all on daily supplements which has made a huge difference in the way we feel! I highly

Dr. Pendleberry is amazing. In the months before I saw Dr. Pendleberry, my sleeping patterns had been off. I'd been sleeping for long stretches and still felt tired and low energy throughout the day.

I drove up from San Diego to see Dr. Pendleberry (a 2-1/2 hour drive) and it was well worth the hassle. He was able to diagnose that I had candida in my stomach and basically wasn't digesting anything I ate. After his treatment, I'm now sleeping more restfully and have a ton more energy.

He's an amazing doctor.
