Meet Dr. David Cherian

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

I also think there’s a lot of areas of our health where Eastern medicine can fill in the “gaps” such as fatigue, insomnia, chronic pain, menstrual disorders and many other conditions. I’ve been practicing and studying Chinese medicine since graduating from the American College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2012.

Primary Care

I’m a board certified Family Medicine physician and also a Licensed Acupuncturist. I have been practicing Western medicine as a physician for over 10 years since graduating from University of Texas McGovern School of Medicine and I’ve seen the tremendous good it provides.

What to Expect

On your first visit to our clinic after you walk-in you will be greeted and checked in by one of our staff members. If you have not completed the consent forms beforehand you will have a chance to do so before the appointment begins. We recommend you to use the bathroom before you arrive and wear comfortable clothing. Expect the first visit to take about 1.5-2 hours. You will be taken to an exam room where you will visit with Dr. Cherian. Dr. Cherian will interview and exam you. After that he may recommend you to try a sample herbal tea before beginning the acupuncture session. During the acupuncture session Dr. Cherian will insert sterilized single-use needles into your skin, the location will depend on your diagnosis and treatment needs. You will be asked to rest for about 20 minutes with the needles in place. After 20 minutes one of the staff members will come to remove your needles. After that you will be guided out and given instructions on your herbal tea for home use.
