		Dr. Esther Ting holds a doctorate in Chinese Medicine and is a certified acupuncturist with over 40 years experience in the United States and China. A descendant of four generations of distinguished physicians, Dr. Ting’s great-grandfather served as attending physician to the last Emperor of Shanghai, and her grandfather founded the city’s first teaching hospital. Dr. Ting’s siblings have continued the family legacy by establishing well-known traditional Chinese medical practices around the world. Dr. Ting received the degree of Doctor of Oriental Medicine from the Traditional Medical College of Shanghai in 1969, and went on to specialize in infectious diseases at Zai Pou hospital. Over the course of her career, she has treated more than 140,000 patients on two continents. In addition to her prolific medical expertise, Esther has survived her own set of life challenges. As a young adult she conquered diphtheria, tuberculosis and cancer. But Esther’s most difficult obstacle came after her activist father’s forced exile and eventual death during China’s Cultural Revolution. These compelling milestones have profoundly influenced her commitment to dedicate her life to healing. Dr. Ting arrived in Los Angeles in 1984, and since has devoted her life to expanding
		awareness of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States. As owner and founder of Ting’s Healing Center in Santa Monica, Dr. Ting has created one of the preeminent acupuncture clinics in Los Angeles. Her plainspoken advice coupled with her generous healing spirit has attracted patients from all walks of life, including Hollywood celebrities. Voted “Best Acupuncturist” by Los Angeles Magazine, Dr. Ting has appeared on television and radio, and lectures extensively throughout the Southern California area. Esther’s experience and expertise have also made her a celebrity in her native Shanghai, where she appears regularly on television and in print. Dr. Ting is an active member of the Professional Association of Acupuncturists and the California Acupuncture Association and is the proud grandmother of two grandchildren.
