David Gaglione has been inspired to practice traditional oriental medicine through his experiences in the martial arts. He has trained in hapkido, aikido, jiu-jitsu, and taichi, and maintains his practice by teaching and training in qigong. He is a 1999 graduate of the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, with certification in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs. Prior to his formal medical studies, he taught for the US Peace Corps in the Solomon Islands, and later High School mathematics in El Paso, Texas. He has since come back to his hometown, establishing and maintaining a lively business in oreintal medicine since the year 2000. He lives locally with his wife and step-daughter. Dr. Beverly Gaglione, his mother, has long had an appreciation for holistic philosophy and medicine, throughout her 30 year tenure as professor of nursing at the local East Stroudsburg University. Unbeknownst to her son, she too was influenced by acquaintance with a martial artist, who also happened to be an acupuncturist in the 1970's, and who would visit her classes to lecture from time to time. Upon her retirement, she enrolled in the Eastern School of Acupuncture in Montclair, NJ. She graduated and immediately joined her son in practice in the summer of 2004.
