Eric Strand, DAc, PhD, LAc
Eric Strand, DAc, PhD, LAcPresident & Founder
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. 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.

Dr. Strand has a clinical Doctorate Of Acupuncture, a Masters of Oriental Medicine, and holds PhD’s in sociology and philosophy. When he is not practicing medicine, he is traveling the Pacific Northwest and beyond, enjoying scuba diving and teaching scuba as an Open Water and Advanced Skills instructor.

Dr. Strand is in clinic Monday through Thursday.
