Meridian Medical Group - New York

We are a unique and alternative medical practice devoted to treatment and healing of complex conditions including cancer, fertility, autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and other refractory medical problems. The practice was founded in 1997 by Dr. Raymond Chang, who currently serves as Medical Director of the clinic, and clinical services are provided by a core of expert practitioners. The clinic is an affiliate of the 501(c)(3) non-profit Institute of East-West Medicine which is advised by a distinguished Board of senior physicians and researchers.

We emphasize a no-nonsense approach to conditions refractory or poorly responsive to conventional medicine. Contrary to the current trend of managed care and protocolized “cafeteria” treatment of patients, Meridian considers each patient individually and customizes a healing program blending conventional and alternative, Eastern as well as Western approaches with the patient’s optimal health and recovery in mind.

Additional Information

Acupuncture is the ancient art of inserting fine needles into the body at specific points according to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory in order to achieve better health or to treat disease.Certain health problems are known to be helped by acupuncture and this includes painful conditions (arthritis, headache, sprains, neuropathies), allergic conditions, neuromuscular conditions (e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome), smoking and stress. Because of the specialized nature of the Meridian Group, we are particularly skillful in the use of acupuncture to treat infertility and side-effects associated with cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

For a more in-depth review of Traditional Chinese Medicine including the use of acupuncture for Infertility, see the excellent article by Dr.Dao-Shing Ni from a past issue of the Resolve National Newsletter .Tibetan Medicine is a unique system of medicine where spirituality and healing are intimately linked. With a truly holistic system of diagnosis based not only the examination of the patient, it may include the interpretation of dreams as well as position of heavenly bodies as well. The master Tibetan physician heals with herbs, precious pills, rituals, meditation and other therapeutic techniques.

The ultimate goal of Tibetan medicine is not only to restore the body and mind to a state of health and internal balance but to purge the physical and mental self of impurities and defilements which obscure one’s true human nature.His Holiness the Dalai Lama on Tibetan Medicine: ” It is a system that can contribute substantially to maintaining a healthy mind and body. It is deeply influenced by theory which stresses the indivisible interdependence of mind, body and vitality. As an integrated system of healthcare, Tibetan medicine has served the Tibetan people well for many centuries and I believe it can still provide much benefit to humanity at large”

What conditions are addressed by Tibetan medicine These include hepatitis, diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular and other chronic conditions, chronic fatigue, stress, insomnia, and neuromuscular conditions as well as mental disturbances.
