Services
I offer a 20-minute consultation at no charge. If you want to discuss whether acupuncture is right for you, are hesitant about needles, or want to meet me first, this is your best option. At your first appointment, we will spend about 30-45 minutes collaborating about your healthcare needs. We will share your current condition, health history., medications, and other concerns.
There are few acupuncturists who are specialists. The need to treat patients as whole people makes specialization difficult. Burton makes an ongoing effort to refine his knowledge of medicine in his studies with Dr. Tran Viet Dzung, a world famous acupuncturist from France. Dr. Tran was a long-term collaborator with Dr. Nguyen Van Nghi, a seminal figure in bring acupuncture to the west.
