Kirby E. Knox, MD

Dr. Knox's Medical Approach
Unlike most acupuncturists, Dr. Knox's initial medical training was in western, allopathic medicine and Chinese medicine. However, since he is now trained in both, he tends to use Chinese medicine exclusively, although he will frequently use western medicine training when evaluating and assessing an illness.

Dr. Knox has practiced medicine for over thirty years, initially as a western trained physician, and for the last seven years, as a holistic practitioner. He brings a strong belief in the mind-body-spirit connection to practice.

A deeply spiritual and caring physician, he feels privileged to be a part of his patients' healing process.

Carolyn Robertson is a certified Neurotherapist. She is not a licensed physician. EEG-Neurofeedback services are not licensed by the State of California and are considered alternative or complementary to healing arts services that are licensed by the State of California. EEG-Neurofeedback services involve learning to change your own behavior utilizing feedback to modify your brain wave patterns. That feedback is provided by equipment that monitors and shows brain wave activity. The theory of treatment of EEG-Neurofeedback services is based on 40 years of research conducted in university settings across the country and outside the United States. EEG-Neurofeedback is a combination of operant conditioning and biofeedback. Further explanation can be found on this website.
