 About Dr. Dorothy Chae
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture and Herbology. Individualized herbal formula decoction prepared for each patient.
In 1998, the National Institute of Health (NIH) released a consensus statement that acupuncture may help low back pain, osteoarthritis, headache, fibromyalgia, tennis elbow, migraine, asthma, carpal-tunnel syndromes, dysmenorrhea, stroke rehabilitation, chemotherapy related nausea and vomiting, drug addictions, and other conditions that involve chronic pain.
In my practice, besides treating the above conditions, I specialize in women's health issues, such as infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PMS, irregular menstruation, polycystic ovaries, mental health (anxiety and depression), pregnancy, postpartum care, and menopause.
I am a National Board Certified acupuncturist, Diplomate in Chinese Herbology, licensed in New York and New Jersey. I have received a Master's Degree in Oriental Medicine from Mercy college's Graduate Program and Ph.D. in Oriental Medicine from American Liberty University.
I interned at the Center of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Sound Shore Medical Center of Westchester in New Rochelle, New York. In addition, I have been a licensed pharmacist in New York State for twenty years.
I use gentle techniques by using silicon coated disposable needles to reduce any discomfort associated with needling. Actually, most of my patients will say it is painless and very relaxing.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
