Meet your practitioner

Justin Bates, AP

Helping you restore health naturally — a licensed Acupuncture Physician in Coral Gables, Florida.

Healing is more than relieving symptoms — it's about restoring balance so your body can function the way it was designed to.

I'm Justin Bates, AP, a licensed Acupuncture Physician in the state of Florida with a passion for helping people improve their health through the time-tested principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Whether you're navigating chronic pain, stress, fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances — or simply want to optimize how you feel — my goal is to find and address the root cause through personalized, evidence-informed care.

Every patient has a unique story. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand your health history, lifestyle, goals, and the underlying patterns behind your condition, then build an individualized plan designed to support long-term healing.

Education & credentials

I earned both my Bachelor of Health Science and Master of Oriental Medicine from Acupuncture and Massage College, with extensive training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine, anatomy, physiology, biomedical sciences, and integrative healthcare.

I've also completed advanced training in Injection Therapy for Acupuncture Physicians, allowing me to incorporate vitamin and nutrient injection therapy into treatment plans when clinically appropriate. As a licensed AP, I'm committed to continuing education — blending the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with current evidence and best practices.

  • Lifestyle & nutritional review
