    A Few Words about Me​

    Mike Potter

    "A doctor like anyone else, who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique cannot be a scientist. (S)he is like the surgeon, a craftsman, or like the physician, and like the psychologist, an artist. This means that in order to be a good doctor, a (wo)man must be of good character. That is to say whatever weaknesses, and foibles (s)he may have, (s)he must love his / her fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their own good before his / her own."

    So far, the study and practice of East Asian Medicine (EAM) has taken 47 years of my life, and I have been in practice since 1981; I learned Five Element acupuncture at the College of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture in Leamington Spa and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture with Giovanni Maciocia. After I graduated I travelled to the Peoples’ Republic of China, where I worked in a provincial university in Manchuria. This experience introduced me to Taijiquan, Qigong & Chinese Herbal Medicine, which I subsequently studied, in depth with Master Tihn Thong Nguyen from Vietnam.
    During the 1990s, prior to relocating to Devon, I worked on the NHS, practicing acupuncture at the Complementary Medicine Centre based in Lewisham Hospital, South East London, which provided a multibed referral service for GPs in Lambeth Southwark Health Authority (now NHS South East London). I also practiced in three GP Fund Holding surgeries in South East London.

    “I first came to see Mike with sciatica and back pain as a result of a fall. Not only did the pains significantly subside with the first two or tree treatments, but I am also no longer reliant on painkillers.”
