My Background

Dr. Heidi Bartlett, DAOM, L.Ac.
Licensed Acupuncturist

​I am currently the Chief Resident at the first Traditional Chinese Medicine Residency in the United States. The residency is currently located at the Sutter Health Hospitals in Oakland and Berkeley, California, and previously was at Highland Hospital in Oakland, California. I have also done internships at the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University in Tianjin, China studying acupuncture to help stroke patients. In addition, the Guang An Men Hospital internship in Beijing, China, offered training in Chinese Herbal Medicine to help relieve the symptoms of chemotherapy for cancer patients. I have also done internships treating student athletes at the University of California in Berkeley, as well as treating low income women at the San Francisco Homeless Prenatal program.  I have also completed two contact needling workshops with Dr. Anryu Iwashina (also known as Dr. Bear) who resides in Morioka, Japan. 

My education includes a DAOM from Five Branches University in San Jose, California, as well as a MSOM from AIMC in Berkeley, California..

I'm Here for You

Because I have been through cancer treatment and made to the other side to better health, I have a level of empathy for what you're going through. My patients take comfort knowing that I understand their challenges, and the many decisions you make along the way. I feel strongly in working with your Western medicine team to help you reach your health goals.
