Welcome to the Wholistic Family Healthcare Blog
I'm Simeon Pollock and on this blog I will be sharing with you my thoughts about Chinese medicine,
Massage Therapy and the experiences I have had and continue to have in my
clinic. I will talk about how I uniquely combine these treatment methods along
with many others to the benefit of my patients.
I have had the wonderful and joyous privilege & opportunity to have practiced
acupuncture and massage therapy in the Silver Spring, MD area.
I invite you to join me on this wondrous journey and to share your thoughts,
questions and experiences with me. I invite you to visit my web site at
www.wholisticfamily.com so that you
can learn more about what I do and what I can offer to you.
Part of my job is to educate my patients so that they can make informed choices
about their healthcare. I quote the famous Sy Sims “An educated consumer is our
best customer.” I say, “An educated and informed patient is our best patient.” I
continually learn from my patients and this makes me a better practitioner. I
often take continuing education courses so that I can stay informed and educated
about how I can better help my patients €“ An educated practitioner is a more
effective practitioner.
At Wholistic Family Healthcare we like to say - we get to the point of your
problem with acupuncture and smooth out your life with massage!
Here are a few of the services I offer:
- Acupuncture
- Gua Sha
- Massage Therapy
- Chinese Herbal Medicine
