Dr. Rene has amassed over 20 years worth of experience and knowledge in natural medicine. He dedicated the earlier part of his life to sports, which culminated as a NCAA Division 1 baseball player. While a collegiate student-athlete in 1995, he was introduced to yoga and began a daily practice to help keep his body and mind in the game. Following his athletic career in 1999, he was introduced to Rinzai Zen meditation, naturopathy, and acupuncture, which inspired him to become an acupuncture practitioner. He ran his private practice in Los Angeles for the last 14 years before recently moving to Modesto, Stanislaus County CA, to be closer to family.

I have had chronic neck and lower back pain for years that woke me up out of my sleep a few times every night. Last night, after my first visit to Dr Rene, I had the first pain-free, full-sleep night in a long time. Thank you!
Dr Rene is unlike any other doctor I’ve met. He really takes his time to get to know you to understand you and your history and get to the root of the problem, and his recommendations have been spot on. Thanks!!
Dr Rene has helped me completely transform my health. When I first came in, I was tired and stressed, getting sick all the time, and my joints were really starting to hurt. The acupuncture really helped me feel a lot better than I thought, a lot faster than I thought. I feel like a whole new person!
