ABOUT DR. DAVID SANTANDER
Meet Dr. David Santander, DTCM, MSTCM, L.Ac.
I’m a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and licensed acupuncturist in Hawaiʻi. Before founding Oahu Holistic Medicine and Oahu Community Medicine, I trained and practiced on the mainland U.S. and studied with teachers from China, Japan, United States, the Amazon, and Hawaiʻi.
Training & Focus:
Doctorate and Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine – University of Bridgeport
Licensed acupuncturist in Hawaiʻi (formerly licensed in NY)
Specialization in orthopedics, sports medicine, geriatrics, and chronic illness
Advanced training in herbal medicine, medical Qigong, manual therapy (Kyo Jung, tui na), and movement arts (Wing Chun, Ba Gua, Tai Chi, Yin Yoga)
I combine classical East Asian medicine with modern diagnostics and nervous-system work so we can focus on one thing: what actually helps you feel and function better.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
Possibly. Some plans cover acupuncture and some don’t.
If you’d like us to check, text or email a clear photo of your insurance card and ID. We’ll verify your benefits and let you know. You can also call your insurance company directly and ask about your acupuncture benefits if you prefer the fastest answer.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel a brief pinch or heaviness when the needles go in, followed by deep relaxation. Many patients fall asleep during treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition and how long it’s been going on. The Pain & Energy Reset (3 visits) is designed to give us both clear feedback: if we’re seeing meaningful change by the end of that, we’ll discuss an ongoing plan tailored to you.
