Grant Zhang Acupuncture

I have been going to Dr. Zhang’s practice for three months based on my friend’s recommendation and I’m very happy with the progress I made. I wasn’t sure about alternative medicine at the beginning and now I’m a believer. I look forward to my acupuncture appointment more than my massage/​spa ones. My stress level and health issues have improved. Dr. Zhang and his staff are courteous and accommodating. My insurance covers acupuncture treatment and his fee is very reasonable. I wish he had an office in the city. If you are interested in an acupuncture treatment, I would recommend you check it out.

I’ve been attending Dr. Zhang’s acupuncture for a couple of months now, and I have to say it’s the best acupuncturist I’ve used. Previously I had used what amounted to «New Age» acupuncturist; that is to say Westerners who latched on to the ideals of Eastern philosophy and medicine. Although I’m all for opening our minds and blending cultures, the fact remains that Chinese medicine is intricately tied to Chinese culture. Therefore, if you want to guarantee the doctor understands the process completely, I recommend finding someone who grew up with that culture.
Dr. Grant has a small practice, but that adds to the relaxation. He understands what it is you need, doesn’t hide behind semantics over what a symptom or disorder might be called, and knows exactly where to treat. Since I’ve attended him my daily headaches have become less frequent and much less intense, and my stress levels are always at their lowest after a treatment. I walk out of there feeling like I’ve just released tension through hard exercise even though I’ve been lying on a bed for 45 minutes listening to music.
If you’re looking for an acupuncturist within the Columbia/​Ellicott City area, then I recommend calling up Dr. Zhang. His prices are about average, but his skill is worth it; even better if your insurance covers it!
