Dr. Na Zhai Clinic Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

Who Is Dr. Na Zhai?

Dr. Na Zhai holds a PhD in Traditional Chinese Medicine and a Master's in Western Medicine from China. She completed postdoctoral research at Kitasato University in Japan. She arrived in the United States in 1996 and was granted a Green Card as an "Outstanding Professor and Researcher" by the U.S. Immigration Service.

For almost 30 years, she has treated 7,000 American patients in Springfield, Illinois and surrounding areas —many of whom had been told there was nothing more to be done.

She is a clinician, a researcher, and a builder. She has spent her life developing a system that treats the root cause of chronic disease—not just the symptoms. And she has documented that work in patient outcomes, physician letters, and a lifetime of credentials.
