Decades of experience and continuous learning to promote optimal health

Empirical Point Acupuncture was founded in 2001 by Sharon Sherman, a Board Certified and Licensed Practitioner of Oriental Medicine. Empirical Point educates, guides and empowers personal health through expert knowledge of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. A collaborative and approachable ally, Empirical Point delivers thoughtfulness and integrity in your individualized care.

“My passion for Classical Chinese Medicine is an ongoing inquiry and deep appreciation for what has shaped medical theory, biases and strategies. As a perpetual student of medical arts and practice, I am more than a technician; I operate as a critical thinker and a strong collaborator in the healing process. My studies and personal exploration lead me on a continuing journey, alongside my patients, to unravel the mysteries and pursuits that create a life well lived.”
