About M. Andrew Pierson, L.Ac., HHP.

I’m a licensed acupuncturist in the State of California.

Please visit my website at http://www.windgatehealth.com/

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 2008, with a Masters of Science degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine.

I am currently a Doctoral Fellow at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine specializing in Family Medicine (Mental Health, Orthopedics, Neurology, Women’s Health, Preventive Medicine and Pediatrics.)

I grew up traveling the world with my family as my father served in the Air Force and the U.S. Embassy. I’m a decorated veteran, and served 6 years in the U.S. Navy as a Electronic Engineer on a Fast Attack Nuclear Submarine. Most of my service was spent patrolling the waters under the Arctic Circle and taking part in Desert Storm.

I’m also a board certified Neurotherapist and have been practicing Neurotherapy since 1996. I worked in a large neuropsychological practice for 5 years working with 100’s of children and adults with a variety of neurophysiological disorders. I specialized in Attention Disorders, Depression, Anxiety, Autism, Seizure Disorders and many other medication resistant conditions.

I am working on my capstone (medical thesis) in internal medicine to study and observe the effects of a specific formulation of Chinese Herbs on microcirculation in relation to cardiovascular and circulatory systems. This will have a wide impact on vascular issues ranging from cardiovascular disease to vascular dementia.

I practice in an integrative setting where Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Medicine and other holistic therapies work together to achieve the most suitable and beneficial protocol for patients. My goal is to create an effective, preventative based quality option for health care by aiding in the integration of Eastern, Western, and, Holistic Medicine. 

Other of my specialty interests include mental/neuropsychological issues, adult and pediatric general practice, geriatrics and internal medicine, musculo-skeletal disorders, and female disorders. 

Our patient’s health and wellbeing are at the heart of our practice. Wind Gate is dedicated to a comprehensive approach toward healthcare. We work in partnership with our patients, take time to actually hear their concerns, and do our best to assist and empower them to achieve the healthiest life possible.

Our approach to integrative care combines cutting edge research and practice in both Eastern and Western Medicine, including Neurofeedback, Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Nutrition, Pharmaceutical grade Herbs and Formulas and Healthy Lifestyle Modification.

We utilize multiple disciplines to treat patients in a holistic manner from infancy to advanced adulthood.

Patients want practitioners who take the time to help them understand the nature of their medical issues.  The real health reform comes from those that will not push drugs and surgery as the only treatment option.

Wind Gate Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine Clinic is located along the canyon in Sorrento Valley in the beautiful city of San Diego California.  We are just off of I-805 and Mira Mesa Blvd.  This provides easy access from both North County and downtown San Diego
 
I’m a member of the California State Oriental Medical Association (CSOMA).
