Behind every treatment is a person with a story. Here is the story that brought Dr. Irene Yeung to Best Medical Acupuncture Clinic—and the philosophy she brings to every patient’s care.
The Moment That Changed My Path
I’m at a gathering with friends and family. I see a little boy running past me, following a little girl. He is only a few feet away. Then he stops.
His body stiffens. He falls to the ground, his arms and legs jerking.
I’m an EMT. I’m trained to help. But my equipment isn’t with me, and my mind races through everything I might do.
My bag. Why didn’t I bring my bag? He is dying right in front of me, and I am powerless.
All of a sudden, a woman appears beside him. She opens her purse, takes out what looks to be tiny needles, and begins placing them on the little boy with a calmness I can’t summon.
I watch. The boy becomes still. Then he cries and calls for his mother. I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding.
But even as relief washes over me, a question takes its place: What have I just witnessed?
I came to that gathering with a background in architectural engineering and training as an EMT. Now I’m bewildered at something this magic—and I want to learn it too.
That is the moment my path changes. My fear gives way to a curiosity I can’t set aside.I want to understand this ancient practice. I want to study it. And I want to bring that knowledge and utilize it as a guiding light on people’s healing journey.
A New Direction. A Lifelong Commitment.
That experience propelled Dr. Irene Yeung to make a bold pivot — from her background in architectural engineering to pursuing a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through intensive internships and mentorships in Beijing, China, she honed her skills, ultimately earning a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Even today, she continues to expand her knowledge and refine her approach to addressing complex health challenges.
