The acupuncturist was also utilized as a preventative-focused health provider, performing routine treatments to maintain a healthful energy balance within the body.
When not treating patients or furthering his education by studying the latest medical advancements, Michael enjoys traveling the globe to experience the essence of other cultures and setting out for the great surf breaks, diving spots and snowboarding slopes our planet has to offer.
