Dr. Sarah Lu-Otero

L.Ac, Dipl.OM, DACM

Let us work together to discover balance in your health. I am a licensed acupuncturist and nationally board-certified herbalist.

I am passionate about supporting patients with pain management, injury rehabilitation, sleep disorders, and emotional issues such as anxiety and stress. When appropriate to the patient’s presentation, I write custom herbal formulas.

My East-meets-West approach stems from my love for human anatomy. I have completed six Immaculate Dissection courses on functional gross anatomy.

As a patient, you will experience a targeted movement assessment. I incorporate acupuncture, electroacupuncture, cupping, gua sha, and manual “tui-na” techniques throughout my treatments. Patients are educated on physical correctives to practice at home to facilitate recovery.

I completed my doctorate and master’s in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine at Pacific College of Health and Science. A former social worker, I earned my master’s in Social Work at Columbia University and my bachelor’s in Social Work at New York University.
