Dr. Sara Suh, DAChM, L. Ac., CPHPCA

About Me

I am a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered care across all stages of health and healing. In addition to treating patients in a clinical setting, I offer in-home visits for individuals who are homebound or unable to travel, ensuring that care remains accessible when it is needed most. 

My work is grounded in a deep respect for the complexity of the human experience. I am comfortable supporting patients with medically complex conditions and understand that healing does not always mean cure. In many cases, my focus is on comfort, dignity, and improving quality of life.

As a certified acupuncturist in hospice and palliative care, I specialize in gentle, supportive treatments that address pain, anxiety, and overall well-being during serious illness. I also serve as a death doula, offering guidance and presence to individuals and their loved ones through the end-of-life process. My goal is to create a space of calm, respect, and meaningful support during one of life’s most profound transitions.

Through every aspect of my work, I strive to meet patients where they are—with skill, empathy, and unwavering compassion.
