Acupuncture Training in China
From 2016 to 2019, Dr. Tony Willcox trained under Professor Yang while completing his Ph.D. in Acupuncture in China. This step followed his Clinical Doctorate in Acupuncture, the highest level of training in the United States.
Training in China provided Dr. Tony with exposure to a diverse range of diseases and conditions, offering practical experience far beyond what’s typically seen in the U.S. The techniques and knowledge gained in China enhance his ability to treat patients in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach.
After treating patients and learning in the renowned Shanghai hospitals of Shuguang and Yueyang, Dr. Tony chose to deepen his education in Anhui Province under Professor Yang Jun. He became the first Western graduate in the 60-year history of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine. Today, that training informs more than 20 years of clinical experience at Acupuncture Zen.
