Dr. Samuels is celebrating his 25th year as a Health Care Provider and his 19th year as a Doctor of Oriental Medicine
I would like to personally thank each and every one of you (my patients) for giving me the opportunity to be your physician. I would also like to extend a warm welcome to all new patients who are interested in incorporating Oriental medicine into your health care plan.
When I first opened my medical practice here in Citrus County 19 years ago my main goal at that time was to introduce Oriental Medicine to this area.
As a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, I believe one of the most important responsibilities that I have is to educate the public in this field of medicine. I also believe it is important to explain how Oriental Medicine and Western Medicine work together to create optimal health. Since that time, I have administered tens of thousands of acupuncture treatments.
I am a strong believer in education and have developed an outstanding working relationship with many of the most intelligent western and eastern trained physicians in central Florida, each of whom specializes in their particular field of medicine.
After many years of having a family practice, I am convinced eastern and western medicine each have a lot to offer and this combination provides for the finest health care available.
