Eddy started to grow a fonder interest in Medicine after watching Grey’s Anatomy. He decided to combine his own culture and chose to do traditional Chinese medicine.
In the last seven years he has been working as an Acupuncturist in China, New Zealand and the United States, with good results from musculoskeletal issues to internal medicine. Helping patients understand how dialectical Chinese medicine works, the impact of their daily routines, diet and external environment on their health is my greatest pleasure in my work.
