Dr. Dennis Lee

Dr. Dennis Lee is an esteemed practitioner and educator in the field of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and serves as a senior instructor at the Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACATCM).

Dr. Lee has been practising acupuncture since 2002, with more than 24 years dedicated to promoting TCM and its many benefits to the wider community through clinical practice and education. As an experienced and knowledgeable acupuncturist, he is well-versed in various TCM modalities — including Acupuncture, Heat-Sensitive Moxibustion (HSM), and Chinese herbal medicine. Having a unique integrated background in both Western sciences and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Lee brings a distinctive approach to clinical practice.

Specialising in pain management, mental health, fertility, and digestive disorders, Dennis emphasises the importance of preventative medicine as an integral component of treatment. He strongly believes in the integration of Western physiology with Chinese Medicine theory to address issues more accurately. By strategically using as few acupuncture needles as possible — often paired with Heat-Sensitive Moxibustion — Dr. Lee strives to see immediate effects on the conditions being treated; his expansive experience enables him to develop highly effective, custom-tailored treatment plans for his patients’ individual needs.

As a senior instructor at ACATCM, Dr. Lee has made significant contributions to the growth and development of TCM in Canada. He is committed to ensuring that students receive the best possible education in TCM and has worked to support programme quality at ACATCM. Dr. Lee is also active in the wider TCM community — serving as a guest speaker for various professional organisations and participating in international conferences that promote TCM.
