Background
Dr. McCulloch found Chinese Medicine more than 15 years ago when he had IBS and could not find a solution for it through Western Medicine. He found a Chinese Medicine doctor in Hawaii and was able to get Acupuncture and herbs which healed him completely. He was so astonished by the results that he decided to pursue Chinese medicine instead of Western medicine (which he was planning to go to school for)
Interests
Outside of his love for learning more about Acupuncture, Dr. McCulloch loves surfing, playing basketball, flag football, skiing, rock climbing and golf.
