Pacific Center of Health

The Pacific Center of Health (PCOH), established in 1986, is San Diego's oldest and largest acupuncture and Chinese medical clinic. Founded by the pioneers of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, PCOH offers education in Oriental medical and Asian bodywork therapy to students worldwide. Adrian Bean took over PCOH in 2011, marking the beginning of a new era.

PCOH specializes in various patient needs, such as chronic pain, worker's compensation injuries, cancer patients, and overall wellness. The center has recently achieved success in treating COVID-19 and is highly recommended for exploring complementary or holistic healthcare methods. Patients appreciate the exceptional service and care provided by the clinic.

The clinic is noted for its beautiful office setting, which creates a therapeutic and holistic feel. The front desk staff is described as lovely, often recalling patients' names. Each practitioner offers a unique experience, bringing a different wonderful light to sessions. The acupuncturists, including Dr. Ella Gold, are praised for their effectiveness and compassionate care. Dr. Ella Gold has trained with her father, a renowned acupuncturist, and her treatments have been described as very effective, thorough, and comforting.

Patients often feel fantastic after their sessions, and the clinic's atmosphere is welcoming. While most people doze off during treatments, there is a desire for clearer communication about session durations to enhance the overall experience. The kindness of the clinic's owner and the professionalism of the team contribute to PCOH's excellent reputation in the community.
