Jeffrey D Kauffman, MD — A Blended Practice of Conventional Western & Holistic Medicine with a focus on Acupuncture.

Believing that all things have their place, Dr. Kauffman balances Western Medicine and Holistic healing in pursuit of true health and healing. When used judiciously, Western Medicine has powerful treatments, such as surgery, drugs, and those for emergency situations including trauma. It is also important for diagnosis in physical terms, i.e. kidney disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension.

A serious condition like pneumonia would call for antibiotics, yet an upper respiratory infection (a cold or the flu) could be treated holistically as effectively without side effects often associated with Western Medicine

Chinese Medicine is made up of five categories: Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Nutrition and Diet, Exercise, and Massage. While I do address all of these five parts, my training and emphasis since 1974 when I started, has been Acupuncture.

Five Element Acupuncture is a system of medicine that recognizes the whole human being, body, mind and spirit, as well as life circumstances. It is a modality of healing, an art and a science that really, REALLY, works AND it’s incredibly beautiful, exciting, poetic, and even fun as it helps each person on their healing journey.
