Testimonials
”Clinton Choate has been treating me ever since he became licensed as an
acupuncturist. He was good when he began his practice and he has continued
to grow personally and has matured into a most caring and talented
practitioner as the years have past. He is very thoughtful in his diagnosis
and in administering his treatment plan. He cares for all aspects of his
patient’s problems and has helped keep me in balance throughout my ordeals
with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and the allopathic treatments I have had to
endure. I highly recommend him”. L. Ingber, Los Angeles

His devotion not just to the mechanics of healing, but also to the beauty of vitality and spirit, has not only been helpful to me as his patient but inspiring to me as a fellow acupuncturist and qigong practitioner.”

“Having gone through vertigo, after three sessions of acupuncture I have no problems.” Ruth Rauch, Beverly Hills
“Clinton has been a friend and healer who I have known for over 25 years; Clinton has a wealth of information regarding the latest holistic methods as well as being grounded in his practice of Traditional Oriental Medicine. He responds to your needs with a gentle and positive manner.” James Tuggle, JD, Hollywood
“I have gotten help with my back pain from Clinton several times over recent years. The episode that stands out most in my mind is the last one that hit me so hard I couldn't walk or move without screaming from the pain. Clinton came to the rescue and got me thru it in a relatively short time. I know his art is one that requires intense training, sensitivity and empathy to be this effective. In addition to that he has a magic ingredient to add to the mix...intuition. It seems like he actually goes into a trance to determine the best path for his treatment. I highly recommend this caring healer for anything that ails you. You will be glad you called on him! With gratitude, Sylvia Shap

I originally came to Clinton because my wife was on my case about getting relief from severe pain. It certainly was not what I would do for myself, having had a pre-med background, severe skepticism and serious fear of needles. Those fears were relieved almost immediately. Clinton was able to reduce pain in my lower back, which was debilitating. But more surprising, he began treating other problems, some of which I was not aware.
Because of Clinton, I have changed my eating habits significantly. This has made me lose weight as well as feel much healthier. Clinton is gentle, kind, considerate and conscientious. This is reflected not only in his personality but also in the results of his work. L. Marshall, Los Angeles
Whether teaching Tai Chi, giving acupuncture treatments or prescribing herbs, Clinton brings the same high degree of skill, ethics and wisdom to his work. One of the many things that are amazingly different about him is that this healing work is a natural and authentic extension and expression of his life long dedication to health and healing. In his home or in his clinic, his presence remains consistent, radiant and compassionate. I have benefited physically, emotionally and spiritually from my work with him.

Patient Letters
Dear Clinton,
Just wanted to let you know how much I have benefited from your acupuncture treatments. While my initial appointment was for facial rejuvenation, I had no idea that your skill in administering the acupuncture treatments would rejuvenate me physically and emotionally as well!
I appreciate the time that you took during my first appointment to determine how best to help me achieve comprehensive health benefits that addressed some underlying health problems I was having. At the time, I had been suffering for several months with a stiff neck, and although I was skeptical, the results of the acupuncture were immediate and dramatic. In addition, your treatments have alleviated most of the muscle and joint stiffness that I had come to accept as just a part of growing older. It is wonderful to be relatively pain free!!!
I also greatly appreciate the time you have taken to teach me some techniques to deal with stress and have found these techniques, combined with the acupuncture, to be very effective in reducing anxiety and emotional exhaustion.
You are generous with your time, knowledge, expertise, and healing gifts, and I am so grateful for the rejuvenation I have experienced as a result of your acupuncture treatments. The benefits are far beyond anything I could have imagined!
Sincerely, C. Chambers, Lancaster
Hi Clinton,
I just wanted to write and say thank you so much for working your magic on me yesterday, - I cannot begin to tell you how different I feel today, not so much physically since there's not too much wrong physically, but mentally I'm a whole new person. I didn’t want to talk too much about the depression in front of my daughter because it has worried her in the past, but since I've been on the antidepressants (last September) I've been able to maintain and I think she thought everything was OK. Honestly, it was not until today, now my head feels empty and open, that I realized how depressed, anxious and generally unstable I've been, even on the antidepressants!
I can feel how much energy I have been spending on fighting my thoughts and struggling to keep going and positive - exhausting! And even though I rush around all the time, I still don’t seem to get much done. Today was SO different! I feel so capable, so calm so balanced, so relieved! And this might sound weird, but my head feels looser, like I had an amazing chiropractic adjustment, I can turn it almost 250 degrees!
I would never have thought to go to acupuncture for depression. Last year it was such a struggle, now I see it was just blocked energy. I can hardly wait to see what more we can open up - I'm probably a genius at something and have never even known it!
So anyway, just a great big thank you for being the master that you are, and also for tending to my daughter, she really enjoyed the cups and showing off her red circles to her friends! Bless you.
With love, Olivia
Roughly 15 years ago, I was struggling with a particularly stubborn flu virus. I'd gone through a whole bottle of antibiotics, and had gotten a second bottle. I went to take a pill and found I literally could not get it near my mouth -- and knew I had to find another answer. I heard about Clinton's acupuncture treatments and called him.
All these years later, he remains my practitioner and I trust him implicitly. He has taught me a lot during this time: about chi (our energy flow), when my vital organs have too much dampness or too much heat, and which foods will cause one or the other (unfortunately, after all these years he is still forced to chide me about my eating habits). He, and his wife and partner, Xiaomei, are the epitome of compassion, and I adore them both. Jan-O
