Drew has been helping patients with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for over 10 years. In addition, he has travelled the world to learn from a
number of Chinese medical scholars. This had led to specialties in Tui Na (Chinese Medical Massage), musculoskeletal injuries, and internal medicine.
Recently he has used these skills on a number of aid trips to areas that have very limited access to healthcare, primarily Bali and Nepal. The team of 5 practitioners would see up to 500 patients in a day with conditions ranging from shoulder pain to late stage cancer.
He successfully treats a large variety of conditions including but not limited to gastrointestinal, gynecological, anxiety/depression, emotional conditions, and pain. He believes strongly that most conditions require lifestyle changes and works to help elucidate and facilitate those changes with patients.
In his spare time he enjoys meditation, sailing, qi gong, yoga, snowboarding, and exploring food and the arts around San Diego.
