Robert Doane, L.Ac.
Robert Doane, L.Ac. and his wife, Anne, started the Acupuncture & Wellness Center, P.S. in Poulsbo, WA, in 1998. The clinic rapidly became the largest private Chinese medical clinic in the State of Washington and at present is also the largest in the United States. Robert holds a Master of Oriental Medicine, is NCCAOM certified in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, and is licensed to practice acupuncture in the State of Washington. He has lectured extensively on health throughout India, Europe, and the United States. Robert Doane has a passion for sharing keys to practice building with as many practitioners as possible, and to advance the effectiveness and visibility of TCM.
"After seeing Mr. Doane abandoning the standard mirroring and traditional ipsilateral and contralateral concerns to achieve extraordinary results, I decided to immediately implement his techniques at my clinic. The results were astounding. Mapping the pain to the muscle groups as outlined in Kendall's book [Dao of Chinese Medicine] was so useful. One example, is I would treat GB20 pain as GB involvement, now understanding if it is trapezius muscle pain it now is UB involvement. I generally had very good results treating pain before, now I have near perfect results. Also, I respect and commend his persistence in demystifying acupuncture for the professionals and public alike. A very important mission. Thank you." -D.G.

Dear Lotus Institute,
I just wanted to say I really, really enjoyed Bob Doane's seminar. It was my
1st lotus seminar and I left the seminar feeling inspired and motivated
again. It is great to see how passionate Bob is about our medicine! I took
Tan's seminar a while back and am guilty of mixing his technique with
straight acupuncture. Since Bob's seminar, I used more of Tan's technique
with good results.
If Bob does any more seminars on other topics I would definitely go. He has
great wisdom to share.
Thanks again for a great seminar and Tina did an awesome job on the notes. I
wish other seminars from other providers were just as organized and chock
full of good stuff! And all attendees were made to feel special. That is
refreshing in this day and age. It just makes me feel more supportive of
Lotus Institute and Evergreen herbs.
Thanks!

I attended Robert's seminar this past weekend and just wanted to express how good it was. I felt like I had an epiphany moment. I've been practicing for 15 years and am very concerned that there are so many acupuncturists that are struggling to survive in this profession. The profession really needs practice mgmt seminars such as this to teach practitioners business skills and systems to help them capture, retain, and manage patients. I have take the Singer Seminar series and found it very helpful, but it really resonates when you hear these techniques from an acupuncturist, rather than a chiropractor. I also very much enjoyed his explanation of how Chinese medicine has been mis-interpreted and his more scientific explanation of how it works. I hope that you continue to use Robert in future seminars, as our profession is in need of this type of education.

ROBERT DOANE TURNS THE WORLD OF CHINESE MEDICINE UPSIDE DOWN
I would like to share my experience of the Bob Doane Seminar this past weekend.
As you know we are required by the State of California to obtain 25 CEUS a year. Continuing education is very important if one desires to constantly improve his craft. As such, my average year tallies 250-300 CEU's.
This fact places me in a unique position to benefit from the clinical and life experiences of many talented Chinese Medical practitioners. My patients in turn benefit from my studies with these masters..
When your postcard came across my desk with the title, "How to See 60 Patients a Day-Robert Doane", my reaction was skeptical to see the least. The postcard nearly went into the trash. "It's not possible to see 60 patients a day!, I exclaimed. This guy has got to be a joker. Why is a quality company like Lotus promoting him?
My curiosity won out. " Well", I thought "It's only a short drive up the freeway & if it's not interesting, I can always leave early & drive back to San Diego.
DOANE IS A SPEAKER PAR EXCELLENCE
At a glance Mr Doane appeared to have the countenance of mild mannered bespectacled university professor.
"Hmmh", I reflected," this is going to be interesting." The seminar began. Mr Doane started to talk about his life prior to becoming a CM practitioner. There was no meekness in his delivery. His life experience was effectively relayed.
Growing up in Alaska, getting two degrees in physics, the incident at 22 with the world renowned physicist at the university in England, the insightful decision to get into TM & help people, etc.
"OK," I thought, "He's a good story teller, a speaker par excellence, but how is he as a Oriental Medical Doctor? It's still not possible for an Acupuncturist to see 60 patients a day."
HIS EXTRAORDINARILY POWER PRESENTATION
As the morning progressed, my experience of Mr Doane changed. The more this mild mannered professor stood & delivered, the less I was resistant, & the more captivated I became by his extraordinarily powerful presentation. His words were now electrifying. It was if he were speaking directly to me.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO QI ?
Bob Doane then proceeded to demystify Chinese Medicine in a way that I have never thought of . The effect was profound, like a bomb going off in my consciousness. Life transforming to say the least. This was the missing link in our education. No more rote memorization of TCM. Mr Doane has now given us the tools to effectively explain the physiological basis of Chinese Medicine to our western patients!
IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEE 60 PATIENTS A DAY
He then shifted to the area of practice management. A step by step description of how to build an Acupuncture practice from the ground up was provided. My initial skepticism by now had softened to the point of entertaining the possibility. By the time Mr Doanne finished his lecture, I was a convert.
The Doanne seminar was arguably one of the best seminars I have ever attended. You have done a great service to our profession by making this remarkable seminar a reality. The information presented was priceless. Please bring Robert Doane back often.
