Acupuncture in a Nutshell

Welcome to Jade Path TCM

Attention: All Jade Path TCM Patients, Partners and Providers:

The JadePathTCM clinic is closing its office in Rockville Maryland. The Last day of Practice is Saturday 26 October 2019. The office will be vacated by 30 October 2019.

If you wish to contact Dr. Haiyan, you can still reach her via Haiyan@jadepathtcm.com.

We are closing our clinic for multiple reasons; Building renovations, increasing costs and decreasing revenue; especially with regards to what insurance companies are willing to reimburse us for services provided. Our current business model is no longer viable.

For future treatments, you may search our partner ZocDoc for other TCM doctors, Acupuncturists and Herbalists. or contact Haiyan for recommendations.

What about our future?
Dr. Haiyan will be taking some time off for the remainder of 2019. In this time Haiyan will be attending to family issues, examining what she will be doing in the future and, in November, she will be attending a medical conference at her almamater in China. We will be providing updates on this website. If we open a new clinic or join an existing one, we will post it here.

If you would like us to keep you informed as to what is going on, please email Haiyan and leave us your email address.

Haiyan would like to thank all the people who, over the past 10 years, allowed us to help them.
