Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine officially came into my life during my third year at the University of Texas at Austin while pursuing my Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology. I was stressed during midterms and was taking Claritin due to seasonal allergies. A friend of mine introduced me to South Austin Community Acupuncture during this time and after my first treatment, I instantly felt relief. I felt more calm and was able to think more clearly and the symptoms of my allergies such as runny nose, itchy red eyes, etc. were greatly reduced.

Seeing and being taught the limitations of Western Medicine and Pharmaceuticals during my undergraduate career, I realized that Traditional Chinese Medicine and its holistic view of the human body was more in line with my passion for helping others. However, I firmly believe the each medicine complements the other and the integration of both can greatly benefit every patient.

Combining my interests and hobbies of fitness, food, meditation, and helping others, I furthered my education by becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Certified Primal Health Coach, Certified Medical Qigong Practitioner, and Certified Sports and Orthopedic Medicine while here in California.

I enjoy helping people achieve their health goals by integrating nutrition, movement, meditation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine into my treatment plans. A good life is ultimately about balance and I hope that I can share that knowledge with all of my patients.

Currently Dr. Aaron is working with the NHL San Jose Sharks and AHL San Jose Barracuda as the team Licensed Acupuncturist and Dry Needling Therapist.

Dr. Aaron is treating on Saturdays and Sundays 9 AM-5 PM and Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 AM-6 PM. Dr. Aaron is fluent in English and some Mandarin chinese.

Dr. Kevin’s passion for healthcare started at a young age when he grew up messing around with herbs, plasters and needles at his uncle’s TCM orthopedic clinic in China and witnessing his grandmother, an obstetrician, provide integrative and effective eastern and western treatments for her patients. His interest deepened in college when he used cupping therapy to relieve a classmate’s shoulder pain, solidifying his calling. The COVID-19 pandemic further fueled his desire to be on the front lines of disease prevention and treatment. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Journalism from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a doctoral degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University. Outside the clinic, he is a provider at Sutter Health’s Integrative Medicine unit, where he treats inpatients, and a faculty member at FBU, teaching review and assessment.

Dr. Kevin specializes in internal medicine, pediatrics and neurological-emotional disorders, utilizing acupuncture, fire cupping, herbal medicine and pediatric tuina. His ideal patients are those in not-so-ideal conditions. He thrives on the challenge of treating patients with complex, multifaceted conditions, where Chinese medicine’s holistic approach excels in addressing multiple symptoms at a time. He enjoys the challenge of the intricacies and excitement of the“unusual, unexplained and unknown” or of patients presenting with a long list of health issues.

Dr. Kevin’s treatment philosophy is rooted in the belief that physical, emotional, and social aspects of pain are deeply interconnected. He understands that chronic physical pain can lead to emotional distress, which in turn can cause social withdrawal, further intensifying the pain. His holistic approach integrates emotional well-being and social support, reflecting his commitment to providing care beyond physical symptoms only.

When not treating patients, Kevin is riding his thoroughbred, IP, swinging a mallet on the polo field, walking his pomsky, Mahjong, feeding his two cats, March and Clicker, or singing in the shower. Dr. Kevin is fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
