Meet Dr. Harry

Dr. Zuohong (Harry) Ding is a fifth-generation practitioner of the Menghe medical lineage, a distinguished tradition of classical Chinese medicine known for its refined and precise approach to healing.

He began his training at an early age under the guidance of his father, Dr. Ding Yie, and later apprenticed with renowned Menghe physicians, Dr. Xi Dezhi and Dr. You Yiren. Dr. Ding holds both doctoral and master’s degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is a licensed acupuncturist in California and Florida.

Since coming to the United States in 2011, he has continued to deepen his clinical expertise through advanced training in Shen-Hammer pulse diagnosis and Zhu’s scalp acupuncture. In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Ding serves as faculty at Five Branches University, where he teaches graduate-level courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

His work focuses on chronic and complex conditions, offering a structured, lineage-based approach that integrates classical wisdom with modern clinical practice.
