Kere Paz, MSAOM, LAc
​​​Licensed Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist
Masters Degree of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
Diplomate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM)
Certified in Clean Needle Technique (CCAOM)
Clinical Internship (Zhejiang Hospital, China)
Kere received her training at the esteemed Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Seneca Falls, NY in 2012. It was there she received over 3000 hours of rigorous and intensive training in both Asian and Western medicine. She holds a Master's degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine having graduated magna summa cum laude. ​Her various clinical experiences brought her clinics across central New York including the VA Hospital in Canandaigua, and to Hangzhou, China where she studied in the in-patient and out-patient wards of the Zhejiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Kere is nationally board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She is certified in Chinese herbology and is a Licensed Acupuncturist (LAc) in NY State. Her goals are to help her clients reduce pain and promote health, energy and vitality through her patient and practitioner team approach.
As a young adult, Kere suffered from chronic severe seasonal allergies. Having tried many methods, none of which were successful, she was introduced to acupuncture. Being "needle phobic" she was quite hesitant to go down this path toward addressing her allergies. After a soothing, relaxing, and extremely therapeutic first visit she fell in love with acupuncture and knew she wanted to learn as much as she could about oriental medicine. It is worth mentioning that Kere no longer suffers from allergies and knows that helping people who are suffering with debilitating conditions is her life's calling. She loves the outdoors and can be found hiking and exploring beautiful and scenic parks.
