MEET YOUR ACUPUNCTURIST
Dena G. Joyce, DACM, L.Ac.
Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
Dr. Dena is a nationally board certified acupuncturist and Chinese herbal medicine practitioner with advanced training in orthopedics, fertility and reproductive health. After practicing in New York and New Jersey, she came to Alaska for what was supposed to be three months and never really left. More than five years later, she calls Interior Alaska home.
After years of chronic pain following surgery, Dr. Dena’s treatments gave me relief I had stopped expecting. Calmness, compassion and professionalism.
