Kent Lee

A graduate from the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Vancouver and the University of British Columbia, Kent’s pursuit of Chinese Medicine is marked by a voracious appetite to deepen his knowledge and clinical experience. Prior to completing the five-year Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine program, he furthered his education by undertaking a series of training and clinical practicum that designated him as a NADA-certified Acupuncture Detoxification practitioner. Kent also sought a clinical internship in China, to learn at the source of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the year of 2008.

At the heart of his motivation to practice Chinese medicine is an immense amount of suffering he witnessed as a volunteer at the Downtown Eastside, as well as the debilitating illness that impacted his family. Kent believes Chinese medicine embodies a genuinely holistic healing system with profound therapeutic potential. His belief in Chinese medicine, along with all he has experienced, strengthened his conviction to practice this traditional modality, grounded in compassion, respect and understanding of patients as an integrated whole.

Kind Words...

“Kent worked with me from the very beginning of my course of treatment. I had never had acupuncture treatment before and I did not know exactly what to expect. I was amazed by his technique and my fear of needles disappeared immediately. It was painless and even during the first treatment I felt calm and relaxed. My regular weekly treatments soon became something I wait for with anticipation. After approximately three weeks I started feeling better. I stopped waking up and going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and my sleep significantly improved. As I became more calm and focused I stopped thinking about my job as a constant generator of stress. My condition kept improving as the treatment continued. For years I felt bad both physically and emotionally due to personal and professional turmoils. Acupuncture treatment I received helped me feel as good as I haven’t felt in years. Thanks to Kent I was my old self again.”

“I had tennis elbow from playing badminton earlier last year, 2008. I saw a specialist and he gave me an injection of corticosteroid. The pain was gone the next day but came back a week later. I heard about acupuncture in treating chronic injuries. So, that’s when I decided to see Kent. I received several acupuncture sessions with Kent. The effect was not as drastic as the Western medicine I received, but my tennis elbow did heal gradually as a result of the 4 sessions we had. After the fourth session, my elbow kept improving with just the self-care techniques that Kent taught me to do as “homework”. To this day I enjoy playing sports without the pain and constraint of tennis elbow. My experience with Kent was absolutely a pleasant one. Kent is caring and considerate. What I like the most about Kent is that he always explains my condition to me and even tells me about the massage techniques and the food choices that I can make to improve my condition. I learned a great deal about Chinese medicine with Kent and definitely gained much confidence in it.”

“I was an acupuncture patient attending ICTCMV for the first time. I was pretty apprehensive and wasn’t sure what my treatment would consist of. Kent was assigned to be my practitioner. Before starting my treatment, Kent did a thorough interview and assessment of my back pain. He answered all of my questions and put me completely at ease. This care and professional manner continued throughout all of my visits. The treatment Kent provided immediately relieved my back pain considerably and also lowered my stress levels. I have to say that I have the highest regard for Kent. He is very compassionate, treated me with care and respect and provided care above and beyond what I expected. I have recommended him to many of my friends and colleagues and will continue to do so. I am confident that Kent has a very bright future ahead of him and I wish him all the best.”
