About Us
Eric Strand, LAc, MAcOM, Clinic Director
Eric is a 2001 graduate of the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, and an eight-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps. Although his medicine allows him to benefit people with all disease patterns, his main focus is on women’s health, pediatric medicine and musculoskeletal disorders including sports and motor vehicle related injuries.
Eric speaks, reads and writes Korean. This has been useful to him in his practice, and when purchasing herbs that most outsiders cannot buy. His unique experiences prior to becoming a practitioner allow him to communicate easily with people from all walks of life and culture. He personally believes that regardless of the form of medicine you seek for healing, the ultimate commitment comes from within; you must have the desire to heal, otherwise no medicine can improve the quality of your life.
Eric is also a published poet and author, and enjoys the arts with his wife of over 20 years.
Daniel DesJardins, DC
Daniel is a graduate of Western States Chiropractic College and has been serving the Gresham/Troutdale community since 2001. Daniel’s strengths include his ability to perform gentle yet effective manipulation coupled with a desire to educate patients regarding all aspects of their care.
Outside of the clinic Daniel is an avid pilot and holds a strong commitment to the Boy Scouts of America. He has a long history of music, growing up with the piano and in later years the trumpet. Prior to becoming a health practitioner, Daniel worked as a software engineer, a skill which has been put to use for our clinic’s practice management software.
