Dr. David Seto is truly a rare find. He's not only a board-certified medical doctor and osteopathic…read morephysician, but also a highly skilled acupuncturist. He currently practices at the VA Hospital, which speaks volumes about his deep commitment to healing and serving patients like me...people who have spent years visiting countless doctors and specialists in search of real answers and lasting relief.
After so many frustrating experiences, finding Dr. Seto honestly felt like hitting the jackpot... and I don't say that lightly. He is kind, compassionate, humble, and extraordinarily gifted at what he does. Despite his impressive academic background, he carries himself with genuine warmth and humility.
His credentials are exceptional: Princeton University for his undergraduate degree (on scholarship), New Jersey Medical School for his medical doctorate (also on full scholarship, graduating with Alpha Omega Alpha honors), followed by residency in Internal Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University. He's board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
What truly sets him apart is his dedication to integrating Eastern and Western medicine. After his formal training in the U.S., he lived in Beijing, China (2013-2015), where he apprenticed under Dr. Wang Ju-Yi, a pioneer in classical Chinese acupuncture. He has accumulated thousands of hours of advanced clinical training in acupuncture and osteopathic manipulation, and is a member of several prestigious organizations including the American Academy of Osteopathy and the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture.
During my first visit, what stood out was how thorough and thoughtful his intake process was. He took the time to ask deep, meaningful questions about my history to uncover the root cause of my issues, something no other doctor had done before. He discovered a long-standing blockage in my system and addressed it using a powerful combination of osteopathic manipulation and acupuncture. After just one session, I felt a remarkable difference throughout my entire body. This is not an exaggeration.
Unlike the rushed, impersonal experiences I've had with many Western doctors, Dr. Seto devoted over four hours to my initial appointment, determined to understand my condition from every angle. It was the most comprehensive, patient-centered experience I've ever had.
I also want to mention Yvonne, his incredible office manager, who was kind, patient, and thorough in explaining everything before my appointment. She made me feel completely at ease.
At 65, after years of bouncing from one specialist to another, I finally feel like I've found the doctor I've been searching for. This was my first time experiencing the combination of osteopathic manipulation and acupuncture, and though I had some doubts initially, I'm so grateful I kept an open mind.
If there's a wait to see Dr. David Seto, let me assure you... he is absolutely worth the wait.
