He is a Diplomate of Acupuncture and a Diplomate of Chinese Herbology by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Mark’s interest in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and other trauma related mood disorders led him to extensively train and become a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. For ten years, Mark served as a board member of the Georgia Association of Medical Acupuncturists. He was a member of the Acupuncture Advisory Committee of the Composite State Board of Medical Examiners for four years. Mark is also a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine, and therefore is a specialist in treating  infertility with acupuncture.
