Trained at the prestigious Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Dr Vitalis spent over eight years studying and practising at renowned hospitals in China before establishing his Auckland clinic in 2002.
“I’m committed to bridging the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine with the rigour of modern science to patients seeking real solutions for complex and challenging health conditions.”
Dr Vitalis is particularly passionate about caring for patients with reproductive health problems, pain, emotional health, undergoing cancer treatments and treatment-resistant health issues.
