About

Peter Geller has been practicing Oriental medicine since 1998. National board-certified in both acupuncture and Chinese herbology, he received his training at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (NY) and then worked in a variety of conventional and holistic health care settings in New York before relocating to Cleveland in 2006.
