Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use ultra-fine needles to stimulate energy flow and treat chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions. This evidence-based approach activates the body's natural healing processes while promoting relaxation through targeted meridian stimulation.
Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. This non-invasive treatment addresses fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone through precise needle placement combined with microneedling and LED therapy for enhanced results.
Chinese Herbal Therapy
Customized herbal formulas address digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions using organic ingredients. These time-tested prescriptions work synergistically with acupuncture to strengthen organ function and restore systemic balance without synthetic drug side effects.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to acupuncture points, improving circulation and treating cold-related conditions. This therapy effectively addresses menstrual pain, arthritis, and digestive stagnation by enhancing energy flow through controlled thermal stimulation.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to relieve muscle tension and improve blood flow. This technique effectively treats chronic pain syndromes by releasing fascial restrictions and promoting toxin elimination through enhanced circulation.

I sought treatment from Doctor pan because I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet and legs. The pain at night was intolerable. After one session with dr. Pan Which included acupuncture in the feet, legs, stomach, arms, and head I had the best week I have had in years! I just concluded my second treatment. I would recommend her for anything!

This place and Dr. Pan and her assistants are incredible. Dr. Pan takes so much time with me. The last time I was there, her assistant wouldn't let me leave until I was out of pain.
Dr. Pan has such a gentle touch I could barely feel the needles. She does pulse reading, provides herbs and I felt better after the first visit. They are always present, attentive and kind. I highly recommend them.

I was diagnosed with a serious medical condition and my doctor prescribed a harsh medication which made me very tired and affected my breathing. I became very depressed because I couldn't get off the sofa so I finally made a decision to try an alternative medical approach and decided upon acupuncture. I did a whole lot of research and after reading about Dr Sophia Pan, I contacted her. It just felt right!!!
Dr Pan examined me and was able to diagnose my illness without me explaining. Hence the beginning of my journey of acupuncture and Chinese medicine with her. Dr Pan has worked with

I was recommended to Dr. Pan by the Buddhist nuns at Buddhagate monastery in Lafayette because they use her regularly and really like her. I've personally used Dr. Pan for a wide variety of issues. She is quite generous with her time (doesn't watch the clock) and her skills and methodologies are very effective. I keep coming back to her and highly recommend her and Chinese medicine in general.

I had a bad cough, waking me up through the night. One bag of herbs from Dr. Pan and the cough stopped ! This is as good as it gets.
