About
Mortar is an acupuncture clinic with a pharmacy built into it, so the person who writes your formula is down the hall from the person who weighs it. Acupuncture happens in the treatment rooms; the herbs live in the back, in jars and drawers.
We keep the clinic small on purpose. You see the same people, and you can ask the pharmacy anything about what is in your formula.

The practitioners
Each of us is licensed by the State of Texas.
Owner, herbalist and licensed acupuncturist
Quang writes every formula and is at the pharmacy counter most days. He holds the Diplomate of Chinese Herbology (Dipl. C.H.) from NCBAHM, formerly NCCAOM.
Licensed acupuncturist
Araxi sees patients for acupuncture and cupping. She goes through your list of medicines with you before the first treatment, and asks Quang whether a formula fits.
Licensed acupuncturist
James sees patients for acupuncture and moxibustion. If needles worry you, ask for him: he starts slowly and explains each step before it happens.
