Al’s discovery of Traditional Chinese Medicine began when he sought out an alternative treatment for depression and insomnia. Unfortunately, the side effects from conventional medications were placing a substantial strain on his health, home & work life. Heeding a friend’s advice, Al began seeing an acupuncturist, and his improvement in sleep quality and well-being were almost immediate. It was truly a life-changing experience.
Inspired by the power behind his own healing, Al decided to leave a long career in real estate and finance to pursue a calling in Chinese Medicine. He enrolled and graduated from the Master’s program at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine and is NCCAOM board-certified in acupuncture and herbal medicine. He also holds a Bachelor Degree in Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh, and an MBA from the University of Arizona.
Practicing in the suburban Chicago area since 2019, Al specializes in the treatment of acute & chronic pain, migraines, neuropathy, sleep disorders, stress management, digestive issues and fertility. Al’s previous experience includes having his own practice, Restorative Acupuncture & Wellness, in Deerfield, as well as working on staff with Family Tree Holistic Health in Arlington Heights and Aligned Modern Health in Deerfield.
