Ray has experienced firsthand the transformative power of Chinese medicine. In 2017, he began experiencing arthritis pain in his left wrist. When conventional treatment failed to bring relief, he tried acupuncture. Not only did he feel better, he noticed how his entire outlook began shifting in a more positive direction. This discovery coincided with a change in his life goals. After more than 30 years in Federal Government service, he decided that Chinese Medicine was the path forward for his life’s second act. In 2018, Ray began pursuing a Master of Acupuncture degree at the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Today, as a licensed acupuncturist, Ray utilizes many skills and modalities tailored to each patient’s special needs. Ray is always adding to his skill set to help patients live their best lives. He is particularly interested in easing arthritis pain, helping seniors thrive, and easing the effects of trauma. He employs principles of choice, collaboration, empowerment, trustworthiness, and safety to create a welcoming space for all patients. Ray also loves a good laugh, and enjoys discussing food, wine, and cars. He looks forward to seeing you in the treatment room!
