Dr Denise Visconte

Hello and good to meet you! 

I am an experienced practitioner, teacher and researcher of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 20+ years.  I first studied TCM on a four year Masters Level Diploma at the International Institute of Chinese Medicine, Sante Fe, New Mexico in 1999.  I later gained a Masters' Degree in Chinese Herbal Medicine (MSc CHM) and a Masters' Degree in Advanced Professional Practice (MSc APP) from the University of Westminster, London, UK.  I practiced in Ireland and then the UK for 10 years.  After moving to the USA in 2013, I upgraded my education to a Masters' Degree in Oriental Medicine (MAOM) from a NCCAOM accredited college in St Paul, MN, followed by a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) from CIIS/American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACTCM) in San Francisco, CA.  I also have a separate Diploma in Tuina (Chinese Massage), which has some techniques in it not unlike myofascial release, which I also use for musculoskeletal work.

So, I am uniquely licensed to practice in three different countries - the USA, UK, and Ireland - and now in WI.  I am a member of WISCA, the Wisconsin Society of Acupuncturists, and am nationally Board Certified in Oriental Medicine, Dip. O.M. (NCCAOM).  I am still a current member of the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine, UK (RCHM) and the Acupuncture Council of Ireland (TCMCI).

In Ireland I practiced with my husband Ken, an experienced Acupuncturist and Myofascial Release therapist, in our own Complementary Health Clinic - The Panda Clinic - in Clonmel, Tipperary.  During that time, I was also Senior Lecturer, Clinic Supervisor and then Director of a private Chinese Medicine school - The College of Oriental Medicine - in both Dublin and Cork, which operated for 6 years, and graduated over 50 students to BSc/MSc Diploma Level in Chinese Medicine.  Many former students are still in full time practice in Ireland over 15 years later.  

I am also a published researcher in Chinese Herbal Medicine, for the Cochrane Collaboration, and in the Journal of Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine (JAIM) for the California State Oriental Medicine Association (CSOMA) in 2023.

Please download the brochures on this website for more information on my practice and the general conditions I can treat.  I have treated many different conditions with success.  If you are not experiencing much relief with your current treatment, I encourage you to book an appointment.
