Ray Chernly

A second generation acupuncturist, Ray Chernly was raised in North Texas and earned his Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine at American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco. His father chartered acupuncture research for National Defense Medical Center of Taiwan in the 1970's. His mother garnered several post-graduate degrees in Naturopathic Medicine, Physical Therapy, and Oriental Medicine. Together, Ray's parents were instrumental in establishing standards and credentialing in the State of Texas, and part of the first cohort to be licensed by the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners under the Texas Medical Board.

Ray has avidly championed elder issues of health and wellness with his work in the nonprofit sector. In his medical training, he interned at Bay Area hospitals utilizing acupuncture techniques in a collaborative healthcare setting, in addition to applying auricular acupuncture in a high-paced community clinic. Ray also pursued advanced training in scalp acupuncture.

Ray earned his Doctorate degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) from Texas Health and Science University in Austin. "I've had the honor of learning from true Masters of this medicine and the privilege of drawing from their decades of experience. My mission: Continuing the tradition of natural healing, to provide the best care."
