WHAT SETS US APART?

The providers at East Lake Acupuncture all have advanced training and certifications above and beyond most practioners, including advanced training in Balance Method Acupuncture, which is renowned worldwide for its fast and near miraculous results. This method is not taught in any school or program and those seeking to learn this method must travel far to train under the few living masters of this modality Drs. Kerns and Burr were both fortunate enough to train under Dr. Richard, Teh Fu Tan before his passing. Dr. Tan was one of the last of the living masters of Oriental medicine/acupuncture

Dr. Kerns has also trained in Master Tung Style acupuncture under world-renowned acupuncturist, Susan Johnson, and interned under one of the most knowledgeable, modern masters of acupuncture, Brad Whisnant, enhancing her skill and understanding of both Balance Method and Master Tung Styles of acupuncture.

Master Tung Ching Chang has been referred to as "The Greatest Master of Acupuncture who ever lived."

In addition to this additional acupuncture training, Dr. Kerns was fortunate enough to train under Dr. Joseph Jacobs, DPT, arguably the world's best and most famous physical therapist, and inventor of ASTR™ therapy.
