In Traditional Chinese Medicine, disease contains two parts analogous to the roots and branches of a tree. The symptoms are like branches, and if you only treat them, the same roots will soon grow the same symptoms again. To effectively heal, one must address the root cause of the of illness so the tree may grow healthy branches. Additionally, two people may both experience a similar disease but have very different underlying root causes. Likewise, two others may have very different diseases but have the same root cause. At Rooted Medicine, Andrea Hingst L.Ac. MSOM, draws from experiences in integrated hospitals and private practice to combine traditional Chinese therapies with modern functional medicine to identify each individual’s unique foundational imbalance to heal from the roots up.

I am Dr. George Mandler, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine and a Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist. I specialize in acupuncture for chronic and complex conditions, including inflammation, pain, digestive disorders, gynecological issues, fertility challenges, and men’s health.
My work focuses on patients who haven’t found relief elsewhere. Using Saam acupuncture, Classical Chinese Herbal Medicine, and Functional Nutrition, I design treatments that address root causes, not just symptoms. I practice acupuncture as a complete medical system, helping restore balance, improve function, and support long-term healing.
Whether you’re dealing with pain, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, or fertility concerns, my goal is to help your body regain harmony and resilience through thoughtful, results-driven acupuncture care.
