Meet Our Founder

Seth Drake, L.Ac., MSOM

Seth Drake’s journey into holistic medicine began long before he founded East West Dermatology. With a passion for healing and a dedication to his patients, Seth has built a reputation as a trusted practitioner in the fields of TCM and Functional Medicine. His expertise in treating chronic skin conditions has been shaped by years of study, practice, and a deep respect for the body’s innate ability to heal.

Seth’s approach is both compassionate and comprehensive, recognizing that each patient is unique and requires personalized care. His commitment to integrating the ancient with the modern has made East West Dermatology a place of healing, where patients can find the care and support they need to reclaim their skin health and overall well being.

Our Story

East West Dermatology was born out of a deep-seated belief that true healing comes from understanding the body as a whole. Seth Drake, a seasoned practitioner with a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine, has spent nearly two decades honing his craft, blending the time-honored practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the cutting-edge techniques of Functional Medicine. His vision was to create a space where patients could find not just relief, but real, lasting solutions for their skin conditions—solutions rooted in both the ancient traditions of the East and the modern advances of the West.

The Philosophy Behind Our Practice

At East West Dermatology, we believe that skin health is a reflection of overall well-being. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has long understood that the skin is a window into the body’s internal health, and that imbalances within can manifest as chronic skin issues. Functional Medicine complements this by using modern diagnostic tools to identify and address these underlying imbalances at their root.

Our approach is holistic, integrating the best of both worlds. We don’t just treat symptoms; we focus on the underlying causes of skin conditions, whether they stem from hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, environmental factors, or lifestyle habits. By combining herbal medicine, and dietary therapy with the precision of modern diagnostic methods, we offer our patients a comprehensive path to healing.

Our Mission

Our mission at East West Dermatology is simple yet profound: to provide natural, effective, and lasting solutions for chronic skin conditions by blending the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the science of Functional Medicine. We are committed to helping our patients achieve not just clearer skin, but overall wellness, guiding them toward a healthier, more balanced life.
