Practice information
What this practice does, what it doesn’t do, where it can serve you, and what you should know before we begin.
Scope of practice
TCM practitioners do not diagnose or treat medical conditions as defined under the Medicine Act. What we offer is a constitutional assessment expressed in classical Chinese medical language.
This practice is complementary, not a substitute for primary care. We encourage you to maintain your relationship with your physician and are happy to work alongside your healthcare team.
Disclose all current medications and supplements at intake so herb-drug interactions can be properly assessed. Withholding health information may affect safety and effectiveness.
Constitutional medicine works cumulatively. No outcome is guaranteed. What we commit to is a rigorous, pattern-informed clinical approach at every contact.
This practice is not equipped to manage acute emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.
Vu Le is registered with the CTCMPAO and holds NCBAHM Diplomate credentials. In good standing.
