Gregory E. LeBlanc, MSOM, L.Ac., Dipl.Ac., Dipl.C.H.
Greg has been practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 15 years, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge to every treatment that he does. Greg's philosophy is to not only treat the symptoms of a complaint, but also to address the root source of an imbalance in health. To this end he encourages patients to take full advantage of all the tools of health and healing TCM has to offer; this involves not only recommending acupuncture, but also Chinese herbal medicine, Qigong, TCM diet therapy and meditation.
