Hi, I’m Dr. George Mandler. I’m a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine and a Licensed Dietitian with more than 20 years of clinical experience. I believe that lasting health comes from understanding the unique factors that influence each person’s well-being, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Through acupuncture, nutrition, functional medicine, and personalized health strategies, I help patients address the root causes of their symptoms and build a foundation for better long-term health. My goal is to provide practical guidance, compassionate care, and evidence-informed solutions that help patients feel their best.
