Balance Healthcare

When your health feels complicated, start with care that restores balance

Dr. Ping Wang, PhD, OMD, L.Ac., is the founder of Balance Healthcare and one of Los Angeles’s most experienced practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The name Balance Healthcare reflects Pinghe Zhi (平和质), the TCM balanced constitution associated with harmony between yin and yang. With more than 25 years of clinical experience, she also practices acupuncture at the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine. She cares for patients whose symptoms are persistent, interconnected, or difficult to explain. Patients come to her for thoughtful diagnosis, a clearer plan, and care built around the life they want to live.

Before your first visit

A few clear answers before you book.

Open a question for a quick answer, or book when you are ready.

Does acupuncture hurt?

+

Most patients describe the needles as light, subtle, or barely noticeable. Your practitioner will explain each step, check in during treatment, and adjust the approach to your comfort.

What should I expect at my first visit?

+

We begin with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, history, goals, and current health. Treatment may include acupuncture and, when appropriate, other supportive recommendations. You can ask questions throughout the visit.

How many acupuncture sessions will I need?

+

There is no fixed number. It depends on what you are addressing, how long it has been present, and how your body responds. We reassess the plan as your symptoms change rather than asking you to commit to a preset package.

Does insurance cover acupuncture?

+

Coverage varies by plan. Balance Healthcare accepts PPO insurance, but benefits depend on your insurer, deductible, authorization rules, and plan limits. Send your plan details for a benefits check before booking.
