Robert Doane, AEMP, L.Ac.
Founder & Lead Practitioner
Since 1998, Robert Doane, AEMP, L.Ac. has dedicated his life to advancing Traditional Chinese Medicine. As the creator of Medical Pulse Diagnosis® (MPD®) and Distal Needling Acupuncture® (DNA®), his groundbreaking methods are now taught and practiced by practitioners around the world.
Robert's extraordinary journey — from meditating under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India to founding one of the largest Chinese medical clinics in the United States — brings a depth of wisdom that patients feel from their very first visit. His expertise is why patients travel from across the globe to see us.
Our care is guided by advanced diagnostic and treatment methods rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine — developed and refined over decades of clinical excellence.
MPD® allows practitioners to feel a patient's radial arteries and identify where imbalances and inefficiencies exist throughout the body — providing the precise basis for all treatment. Developed by Robert Doane and now taught worldwide.
DNA® is more effective in eliminating pain than conventional acupuncture. Unlike local needling, needles are placed away from the area of pain — causing less irritation and resulting in greater, longer-lasting relief.
Each patient receives a customized Chinese herbal medicine formula tailored precisely to their diagnosis. These formulas complement acupuncture treatment and accelerate healing from the inside out.
Each patient begins a comprehensive, personalized journey — from highly accurate diagnosis to evolving treatment plans designed to deliver lasting results.
Every treatment begins with Medical Pulse Diagnosis® (MPD®) — identifying the underlying imbalances driving your symptoms with remarkable accuracy before a single needle is placed.
Robert Doane's pioneering methods are taught and practiced around the globe. Practitioners regularly travel to our clinic in Poulsbo to shadow and learn these advanced techniques firsthand.
Your treatment plan is designed to evolve as your health improves. We don't just manage symptoms — we address root causes and recalibrate as you heal, ensuring lasting, meaningful progress.

"Very helpful with my both physical health and mental health. I feel 100% better. I suggest giving both the acupuncture and herbs a try for a healthier you!!"
"Bob said, 'I can help you reverse your heart disease and get you off of statins and Beta-blockers'...and he did! Energy reminiscent of a 30 year old, joint aches vastly diminished, improved breathing, circulation, and sleep. Lost more than 65 pounds."
"Bob Doane and his clinic changed my life. I was struggling with my health for years and tried just about everything under the sun until I finally found the Acupuncture and Wellness Center. I would give them 10 stars if that was possible."
"A first class professional organization. Great staff and its Chinese medicine practitioners are world renowned. Worth a trip from Seattle or beyond to avail yourself of expert diagnostics and treatment."
"I initially had a medical pulse diagnosis done at a medical fair 10 years ago. I was intrigued but did not follow up with Dr. Bob at his Acupuncture and Wellness Clinic in Poulsbo... I wish I had come sooner."

A comprehensive, personalized process designed to achieve root-cause healing — not just symptom relief.
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation where Robert listens deeply to your health history, concerns, and goals to understand the full picture of your wellbeing.
Using MPD®, Robert assesses your radial pulse to identify the exact imbalances and inefficiencies driving your symptoms — a level of diagnostic precision unlike anything else in modern or traditional medicine.
Treatment is guided by DNA® — placing needles away from the area of pain for targeted relief with minimal irritation. Many patients feel improvement after their very first session.
A customized herbal formula is prescribed to complement your acupuncture treatment. Your plan evolves as your health improves, ensuring sustained, lasting results.
Medical Pulse Diagnosis® is a sophisticated diagnostic method developed by Robert Doane that involves feeling a patient's right and left radial arteries to identify imbalances and inefficiencies throughout the body. It provides the precise foundation for all treatment planning, allowing Robert to target the root causes of symptoms rather than just their surface manifestations.
Unlike conventional local acupuncture where needles are placed directly at the site of pain, Distal Needling Acupuncture® places needles away from the area of discomfort. This approach is more effective for eliminating pain, causes less irritation and inflammation, and produces greater, more lasting relief. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable and effective the treatment is.
We treat a wide range of acute and chronic conditions by addressing their underlying causes. Patients have found relief from pain conditions, heart disease, digestive issues, mental health challenges, fatigue, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, and much more. We encourage you to reach out to learn whether your specific condition can be helped through our approach.
