Services
Acupuncture
This ancient practice stimulates the body's natural healing through strategic needle placement. By balancing energy flow and addressing meridian system imbalances, our treatments reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and restore physiological harmony. Patients experience improved circulation and nervous system regulation while addressing chronic conditions like migraines and autoimmune responses.
Functional Medicine
Advanced diagnostic testing identifies underlying biochemical imbalances driving chronic illness. Customized treatment plans address gut health, hormonal disruptions, and environmental toxin exposure. This science-based approach resolves complex conditions like chronic fatigue and autoimmune disorders by restoring cellular function and metabolic balance through targeted nutrition and supplementation.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
Custom-compounded hormones identical to human molecules address endocrine imbalances. This treatment alleviates menopausal symptoms, improves metabolic function, and enhances energy levels. Patients benefit from tailored dosing regimens that restore hormonal equilibrium while minimizing side effects associated with synthetic alternatives through comprehensive lab monitoring.
Craniosacral Therapy
Gentle manual techniques release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve cerebrospinal fluid flow. This non-invasive therapy reduces chronic pain, alleviates stress-related conditions, and enhances nervous system function. Patients experience headache relief, improved sleep patterns, and greater emotional regulation through subtle structural adjustments.
Nutrition Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans address food sensitivities and metabolic imbalances. Evidence-based dietary strategies optimize gut health, reduce systemic inflammation, and support detoxification pathways. Patients receive practical meal planning guidance and supplement recommendations tailored to their unique biochemical needs and health objectives.

I have been seeing Dr. Sokitch for several years. She is incredibly knowledgable and has the ability to see the big picture. I have been helped tremendously by her care which includes acupuncture and supplements but she is also an active listener which is rare in a doctor.

I love Shiroko and Reynette and the whole staff. They make you feel comfortable and welcome from the start. And with acupuncture and sometimes herbs, Shiroko has cured just about every weird thing I've come in with. And, having her MD in western medicine, she's not afraid to use western medicine when that's the right path.

Shiroko is a unicorn. I went to many doctors without answers or relief before I found her. Once I did, she was quickly able to diagnose me and begin treatment. She takes a holistic approach and is able to offer multiple ideas for how to approach a problem. Everything is tailored to the individual, and she takes the time to listen. Not only is she extremely skilled, she is a delight to be around. With her busy schedule, she somehow manages to respond to every text/email/phone call quickly. Truly the most authentic, dedicated, and caring doctor! Id be lost without her.

Dr Sokitch and her team are extraordinary, talented & caring professionals who truly problem solve in innovative ways. I wish I had met Dr Sokitch 20 yrs ago! Save yourself the wasted years getting the medical run around. If you have any health concern, or want to maintain optimal wellness, this is your Dr.

Generally speaking, the problem with old male Western Medicine cardiologists is they won't acknowledge the emotional aspect of a heart problem. They think they can electrically force your heart to behave with Shock treatment! I found that concept to be abrupt, assumptive, uncaring, uncompassionate, and frankly Barbaric.. Dr Shiroko has a caring and sensitive approach, first she listens and then by tapping into my emotions and heart with her loving method of using acupuncture, she was able to calm down my fluttering heart beat. And she recommended I take magnesium. I feel so much better knowing

Working with Dr. Shiroko Sokitch has been critical for my healing process. Before I found her, I was frustrated and overwhelmed by the big physical and emotional health challenges I was facing. She was able to bring her knowledge of both Allopathic (Western) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC) to help me heal. If you are suffering from a complex, undiagnosed, or longstanding health problem - get yourself to Shiroko ASAP! She can, of course, also help with more common ailments and is remarkably effective at doing so. In general, her treatments are much more beneficial for the body than the pills
