Your Pathway to Good Health

Founded in 2014 by David Filipello, L.Ac., Good Medicine Acupuncture is a forward-thinking clinic dedicated to healing sickness and promoting healthy lifestyles. Treatments don’t just focus on your symptoms - they concentrate on the root of the problem.

Each session begins with a comprehensive patient review, designed to understand your unique health patterns and behavior. Then an individualized treatment is tailor-made for you. Results are closely tracked and treatments are modified as necessary. Schedule a session today to begin your healing process.

​

I have been practicing Traditional Oriental Medicine for more than 35 years. I am a licensed Acupuncturist, a nutritionist, and a researcher of herbs, energy, and alternative medicine.

I graduated with honors from San Francisco College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 1982. I completed years of internships with American, Korean, and Asian acupuncturists. I have run several acupuncture clinics including the Quan Yin Healing Arts Center in San Francisco where I assisted in the development of protocols to treat HIV, chronic pain, hepatitis, menopausal and women's health issues. I was a past board member of the California Acupuncture Association and served on the ethics and examination committees of the California Acupuncture Board. I am a member of the American Association of Oriental Medicine. I have lectured on many occasions for various groups about Traditional Chinese Medicine and alternative medicine and I am available for lectures and seminars.
