Not the Emperor's Acupuncturist By Gregory Ross, LAc

Gregory Ross, LAc, began on his Oriental medicine path studying shiatsu. Eventually, this lead to enrollment at the San Francisco College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine where he was instructed by Misha Cohen, Efrem Corngold, Stuart Kutchins, Peter Bing Lee and others.

He acquired NADA certification just before receiving his license and was offered an acupuncture detoxification position at a methadone clinic. Since then, he has worked in community and recovery clinics in Northern California.
