Qin Gao (Tracy), L.Ac., Pharm.D., M.S., Dipl. OM (NCCAOM)

Qin Gao (Tracy) is a board-certified acupuncturist and Diplomate of Oriental Medicine through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), licensed in Virginia, Maryland, Texas, and New York. With a rare blend of Eastern and Western medical training, she offers an integrative and highly personalized approach to healing.

She holds Master’s degrees in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine from the New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Long Island University. After a decade of practice in pharmacy, she transitioned fully into Traditional Chinese Medicine to follow her passion for natural, root-cause healing.

Qin is known for her keen diagnostic skills, particularly in tongue and pulse diagnosis, and meridian channel palpation, which allow her to pinpoint imbalances with accuracy and tailor treatments for deeper, long-lasting results. Her clinical expertise includes acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutritional support, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and meridian channel massage—all used to restore qi and blood flow and bring the body back into harmony.

In addition to her clinical work, Qin has been a dedicated practitioner of yoga and tai chi for nine years, and a seasoned meditator for over a decade. These practices not only keep her own energy strong and balanced, but also benefit her patient care. She often integrates breathing techniques, movement therapy, and diet/nutrition guidance to help patients support their healing between visits and build a healthier lifestyle beyond their baseline constitution.

With compassion, precision, and a whole-body perspective, Qin empowers her patients to move beyond symptom relief and achieve true, lasting wellness.
