Oscar Sierra, B.S., L.Ac., Dipl. OM, NCCAOM
Licensed Acupuncturist
After graduating from the University of Georgia with a BS in Nutrition, training & teaching Martial Arts for over 12 years, and being certified in Reiki, Oscar studied Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture by means of a formal apprenticeship for over 4 years with several practitioners of Chinese Medicine in Atlanta.
His approach to healing is by means of focusing on the patient rather than disease-this is holistic, patient-centered (and preventative) medicine. Oscar examines an individual's condition, constitution, outlook, and environment before determining a diagnosis or pattern. This is a uniquely individual experience where treatment strategies are tailored around a patient and usually involve both ancient Evidence-Based Eastern approaches as well as aspects of progressive Functional Western Medicine. These strategies typically include diet, lifestyle, and herbs as the main treatment modalities as well as acupuncture, supplements, and an occasional healthy dose of laughter- a personal favorite healing modality for Oscar.
