Dr. Aroop Banerji, ND, LAc, a passionate naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist whose path to medicine is as inspiring as his treatments are effective.

Dr. Banerji’s journey began early—as the go-to massage therapist in his family at age nine, and a devoted teen meditator. But everything shifted during a college soccer game when a severe asthma attack left him gasping for breath. After a harrowing 45 minutes of self-regulated breathing, he began questioning the long-term effects of the very medications he relied on. His research revealed that his asthma meds mirrored his own chronic symptoms. That moment sparked a transformation.

By embracing nutrition, acupuncture, and stress reduction through naturopathic and Chinese medicine, he fully healed—eventually running a mile in 4:40 and living medication-free.

Ironically, after college, Dr. Banerji worked in pharmaceutical manufacturing—helping produce the same medications he once used. But his calling couldn’t be ignored. He went on to earn a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and a Master of Science in Acupuncture from Bastyr University.

With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Banerji now specializes in holistic, drug-free solutions for:

✅ Chronic pain (including joint, nerve, and cancer-related) ✅ Integrative cancer support ✅ Fertility optimization ✅ Healthy aging & vitality

His care philosophy is simple and powerful: You are the CEO of your body. Dr. Banerji partners with patients to activate their inner healing wisdom—Vis Medicatrix Naturae—so they can live fully, freely, and vibrantly.
