Smriti Shamapant, L.Ac., DACM

Always a student of medicine, Smriti strives to help people by bridging the gap between East Asian Medicine and Bio-medicine. Her experience as a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and Gastroenterology Technician allows her to see the importance of both modalities working in conjunction with the other. Smriti's goal is to provide effective healthcare, by creating a balance between the living internal and external energies of each individual patient.

But if she isn't at the clinic with her patients, you can probably find Smriti outdoors camping, petting each dog she sees, or eating lots of mac & cheese!
