Our Story
Dr. Chang has a B.S. from Columbia University in New York City, a M.S. from the Swedish Institue College of Health Sciences and a Doctorate degree in Acupuncture from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. He is a certified Doctor of Acupuncture (D.Ac.) in Rhode Island and a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.) in New York and New Jersey.
All of Dr. Chang's knowledge of Classical Chinese Medicine has been imparted from his mentor and teacher Jeffrey Yuen, an 88th Generation Daoist Preist of the Yu Qing Huang Lao Pai (Jade Purity Yellow Emperor Lao Zi School). He strives to honor, uphold and cultivate himself as one of the many members of the 89th Generation of Classical Chinese Medicine practitioners.
Most acupuncturists trained only in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which utilizes 12 meridians, whereas with Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) one utilizes all 74 pathways of the body. Having knowledge and experience of all 74 pathways allows Dr. Chang to choose the most appropriate pathways to provide healing. Dr. Chang also utilizes other Classical Chinese Medical modalities such as fire cupping, emotional releases, detoxification, dietary nutrition, and essential oils for adults and children.
Dr. Chang is blessed with a wife and two little dogs (Champy & Checkers). His current challenge is learning Latin Ballroom Dancing, thanks to his wife. Please pray for his stiff hips to move.
