I am honored to carry on my father’s legacy.
Growing up and working at his Acupuncture clinics and watching his dedication to every patient inspired me to become an Acupuncturist myself. I saw firsthand how compassionate care, clinical experience, and natural medicine could transform lives. That same passion continues today at Eastern Medical Center.
Our highly skilled and passionate doctors and practitioners share this mission. Beyond treating patients in our clinic, many of our providers devote their time to teaching, mentoring, volunteering, and speaking at local Acupuncture schools and community seminars to help bring greater awareness to Acupuncture and holistic health.
Today, Eastern Medical Center has grown beyond Acupuncture to offer a complete natural health experience, including Chiropractic care, massage therapy, reflexology, sports massage, cupping, and other integrative treatments. Our goal is simple: to help every patient feel better, move better, heal naturally, and live with greater balance.
At Eastern Medical Center, we are proud to continue a family tradition of healing that began more than 40 years ago — and we are honored to be part of your health journey.
A Message from CEO Dr. Teresa Shen, Ph.D., L.Ac.​​
Welcome to Eastern Medical Center.
Eastern Medical Center was founded in 1982 by my father, Dr. Mason Shen, with a powerful vision: to help people heal naturally through the life-changing benefits of Acupuncture. He believed deeply that even the smallest, finest needle could make a meaningful difference — relieving pain, improving circulation, restoring balance, and helping the body activate its own natural ability to heal.
At a time when Acupuncture was still unfamiliar to many, Dr. Mason Shen dedicated his life to bringing this healing art into the community. Through his passion and commitment, he established Acupuncture clinics in Livermore, Pleasanton, Danville, Fremont, Tracy and Sunnyvale, helping countless patients experience a more natural approach to health care. Dr. Mason Shen also played an important role in helping Acupuncture gain greater recognition within the health care system. As president of the CCAA, he advocated for greater awareness, acceptance, and accessibility of Acupuncture. He strongly believed that for Acupuncture to become truly accessible, insurance companies needed to understand its value and begin offering coverage for patients. His dedication, advocacy, and commitment to patient care helped contribute to the growing acceptance of Acupuncture as a covered health benefit. Today, Acupuncture is offered by many major insurance plans — a reflection of how far this medicine has come and how many lives it continues to impact.
